“Well, you should still have a hearty breakfast before you go. Lately, I’ve been skipping breakfast, and I’ve been feeling weak in the mornings.”
“I never eat breakfast.”
Well, he’s stubborn.
Should I just say that I’ll eat what I’ve prepared?
Jae In secretly pursed her lips and spoke again with a smiling face.
“Team leader, you work so hard, it’s even worse if you starve. From now on, I’ll prepare breakfast for you, so please have it before you leave.”
“It’s fine. I feel uncomfortable in my stomach.”
He’s good at words, isn’t he?
Whether Jae In felt upset or not, Do Hyuk casually added.
“And, it’s not necessary for you to do this when it’s hard.”
“Now that I’ll be staying here for a while, I want to do what I can. I want to get along well with you, Team leader.”
Hm.
Suddenly, Do Hyuk coughed as he turned his red face away.
“As you wish.”
“Oh my, Team leader, is it because you took off your coat yesterday that you’re coughing?”
When Jae In, who was worried if he caught a cold, stared intently, Do Hyuk avoided her gaze.
Huh, why does his face seem to be turning red?
“Team leader, do you have a fever by any chance?”
“Nno, it’s not like that. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
“Hmm. Then have a warm bowl of dried pollack soup before you go. It would be a waste since I’ve prepared it.”
Jae In made one more recommendation without much expectation.
But for some reason, Do Hyuk obediently sat down this time and lifted his spoon.
However, even as he ate the dried pollack soup continuously, there was no change in his expression.
“Doesn’t it taste good? Why isn’t he saying anything?”
As someone who was quite confident in her cooking skills, Jae In was greatly bothered by Do Hyuk’s indifferent response.
“Team leader, how is the taste?”
“Well…”
Is that all?
Come to think of it, they’ve only had meals together three times so far, and each time, Do Hyuk had no reaction at all.
To the point where it’s uncomfortable to eat together.
“If he just said he would eat well, it’s delicious, or even a polite word, where would that hurt?”
Speak up.
What do you expect from the Team leader?
Jae In neatly finished a bowl of dried pollack soup, grumbling to herself.
The conference room was filled with warm morning sunlight.
The members of the Product Planning Team 1, who had gathered for a meeting, were waiting anxiously for Do Hyuk, who had been urgently called by the manager, and Gyu Min, who couldn’t be seen anywhere.
Perhaps due to the team dinner the previous night, everyone looked extremely tired.
Ji Hoon and Manager Park, whose eyes were halfclosed from the moment they entered, started dozing off as soon as they sat down.
Jae In, who was worried if Do Hyuk would come, was watching for the right timing to wake them up.
As she anxiously stared at the conference room door, Na Hee, who was sitting across from her, opened her eyes wide and asked.
“Team leader, did you give a ride to the boss yesterday?”
“Yes.”
“It’s not like something happened, right?”
What happened?
Just interfering between lovers and going for a walk together, and since it was cold, the boss took off his coat?
Jae In felt slightly embarrassed and forced a casual smile.
“What happened? I woke up from a nap and it was in front of my house.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Did Manager Kang go in well?”
Na Hee’s face instantly wrinkled like a piece of paper. Then she turned her head and glanced at Manager Park, who was leaning back in his chair, pinching his nose.
Yeon Ji, sitting next to her, whispered softly in Jae In’s ear.
“Mr. Ji Hoon says that in the end, Manager Kang and Mr. Ji Hoon got caught by Manager Park and had to go in during the early morning. Manager Park turned into a beggarlike appearance, so they contacted the boss’s wife, who told them to throw him on the street. They managed to persuade her and let him in.”
“Manager Kang and Mr. Ji Hoon went through a lot.”
Even just missing the boss right in front of me would have been regrettable, let alone dealing with drunkenness.
No matter how unpleasant Na Hee was, she seemed pitifully human today.
At that moment, Do Hyuk opened the door and entered, saying that even a tiger would come if he mentioned it.
“Boss, have you arrived?”
Manager Park, who opened his eyes as if asking when he had been sleeping, greeted him gruffly.
Truly an astonishing survival instinct.
Do Hyuk glanced around the conference room and found Gyu Min.
“Where did Manager Han go?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gyu Min entered the conference room with two hands full of coffee, as if waiting.
“Everyone must be tired, right? Let’s have a cup of coffee before the meeting starts.”
Gyu Min, who had a refreshing smile, seemed even more energetic than yesterday.
“Oh, be kind! Manager Han, you’re so cool.”
“Manager Han, your sense is overflowing!”
Everyone was busy praising Gyu Min.
Gyu Min offered a cup of coffee with a ♡ mark on the lid to Jae In.
“Team leader, you prefer a lighter one, right? I asked them to put in just half a shot.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
