After a moment.
Upon hearing the catalyst of the incident, Seong Joon smiled with a relaxed smile as if he had grasped everything.
Gulp.
Do Hyuk nervously swallowed dry saliva for no reason.
“So, I’ve tried various things to become the ideal man for Seo Jae In, but it doesn’t seem to have much effect. I’m worried because of the other men around Jae In who approach her.”
Seong Joon once again dissected Do Hyuk’s worries.
“Especially since it seems like Jae In likes senior Nam Min Woo, I don’t know how to change her mind. It’s also extremely unpleasant that my friend Han Gyumin is going to see a movie with her tomorrow. That’s what you’re saying, right?”
“….”
Instead of answering, Do Hyuk nodded with a dark face.
Listening to the current situation from a third party’s perspective made Do Hyuk feel even more bitter.
Seong Joon, who had paused for a moment, spoke up.
“My lord, it seems it’s time to change the strategy.”
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Seong Joon’s face.
“How so?”
Do Hyuk’s eyes widened, and he asked eagerly.
Seong Joon closed his eyes as if to calm him down, then opened them and spoke softly.
“You’ve done a lot for Seo Jae In, helping her with her luggage, preparing sandwiches, even interrupting your work to spend time with her, and many other things that you would never do under normal circumstances. As a lord, you’ve already made tremendous efforts.”
“That’s right.”
It would have been impossible if he hadn’t lost his mind.
Do Hyuk once again realized the fact that he was obsessed with Jae In.
Seong Joon’s calm voice continued.
“The effort to fill in the gaps was excellent. However, it seems that method doesn’t work on Jae In. It’s time to employ a different strategy.”
“What do you mean by a different strategy…?”
Seong Joon’s eyes sparkled sharply at Do Hyuk’s question mixed with hope.
“In success theory, it is said that it is much more advantageous to enhance strengths rather than compensate for weaknesses. So, in other words, it would be better for you to focus on highlighting your greatest strengths this time.”
“Greatest strengths?”
Do Hyuk asked with wide eyes, seeking clarification, and Seong Joon answered without hesitation.
“Isn’t it clearly apparent? I know it, and you know it too.”
“Ah…!”
Do Hyuk let out a deep sigh of realization.
Yes.
Cha Do Hyuk possessed an indisputable greatest strength that no one could dare to refute.
That was,
If God had created a human, He would have undoubtedly poured in abundant affection into his radiant appearance.
Straight and distinct eyebrows,
Beneath them, eyes that appeared moist even when halfopen, captivating anyone who looked at them,
Thick eyelashes that fanned out like a fan every time he closed and opened his eyes,
A cool and welldefined nose that turned even a frown into art,
Even his perfectly placed red lips and a welldefined jawline exuded masculinity.
There was not a single flaw in Do Hyuk’s appearance.
Furthermore, his superior height and a wellbuilt body with just the right amount of muscle.
Even without taking off his clothes, he was enough to sway women’s hearts with just his casual attire.
“Focus on utilizing your strengths, my lord.”
Seong Joon hammered the point home once again.
And the next day arrived.
Finally, Saturday came when they had promised to go see a movie with Gyumin.
While getting ready to go out since morning, Jae In’s heart was anxious about how Do Hyuk would appear.
Since a while ago, Do Hyuk seemed uneasy.
He didn’t pay proper attention to Jae In even at work, and at home, he only said what was necessary.
“Clearly, he must be trying to prevent it. We have a contract clause, after all.”
“[During the contract period, I will not engage in romantic relationships.]”
Do Hyuk thought this clause was absurd even at the time of signing the contract. It was undoubtedly a result filled with his own ambition.
Jae In, who realized the true intention belatedly, became more concerned about Do Hyuk.
Moreover, he even noticed Gyumin’s feelings…
Jae In couldn’t help but feel heavyhearted.
“Because of watching the movie first, Gyumin must already be upset, and I can’t cancel the promise… We have to go quickly.”
Jae In tried to walk briskly as she went out of the room.
Do Hyuk, who was sitting on the living room sofa reading a book, glanced sideways when he sensed Jae In’s presence.
“Now I’ll probably hear a complaint,” he thought, feeling tense. Despite Jae In’s worries, Do Hyuk remained indifferent and focused solely on his reading.
“What’s this? It’s scarier when he doesn’t say anything…”
But she couldn’t just run away.
Jae In approached Do Hyuk, hesitatingly uttering her words.
“Um, Team Leader…”
“What is it?”
Do Hyuk replied without taking his eyes off the book.
Once again, his words were brief. Menacingly brief.
Jae In barely managed to squeeze out her words in a voice that seemed to crawl.
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.”
