As the wisps of smoke rose, Chaewon, feeling a sense of accomplishment, asked,
“Did you make a wish?”
“Yes.”
“What did you wish for? Business success? Or to definitely inherit your grandmother’s estate?”
“I wished for Ms. Kim Hee-Ju to wake up.”
The playful smile on Chaewon’s lips froze.
She steadied her wavering gaze and asked earnestly,
“Why? Why make such a wish?”
“Because she’s someone important to you.”
Their gazes locked, full of unasked questions.
His eyes were serious, devoid of any jest.
As the moment lingered, neither breaking eye contact, until the security patrol was due to arrive.
Exiting the elevator, Chaewon turned towards Yu Gun, looking at her apartment door.
“Listen, Choi Yu Gun.”
He faced her, attentive to her voice.
“Make some friends. What kind of birthday is this?”
“I enjoyed it, though.”
“Enjoyed what? Tilting an umbrella as a gentleman, getting completely soaked, spending a miserable birthday in an apartment common area, and ending it so anticlimactically… A company president should throw a lavish party, calling all the stars from his agency.”
“If I had done that, I wouldn’t have heard Kim Chaewon’s song.”
She regretted singing the song.
Embarrassed, Chaewon looked away.
I really regret singing the song.
Chaewon, feeling embarrassed, turned her head away.
“When it’s time to tease me for being tone-deaf.”
Quietly, he chuckled.
Chaewon checked her watch, ready to go home.
“Anyway, happy birthday. I’m going in.”
She expected him to say something like, ‘Good night’, ‘Thank you’, but there was no reply.
As if he didn’t want to let her go.
Without looking at him, Chaewon offered one last farewell.
“Good night.”
Even if he didn’t respond, she planned to go inside.
As she turned to leave, he grabbed her arm.
“But.”
Feeling her heart flutter, Chaewon turned her head.
Pulled gently by his grasp, she found herself standing close to him.
“What about my present?”
He didn’t let go of her arm.
As he stepped closer, the distance between them narrowed to the point where she had to look up.
Chaewon naturally raised her head.
Their eyes met closely, and Chaewon realized he was implying something else.
“Choi Yu Gun, you’re incredibly… brazen.”
“I don’t miss opportunities.”
Yu Gun’s hand, which had been holding her arm, naturally moved to her cheek and waist.
Feeling the unfamiliar warmth, Chaewon’s eyelashes fluttered briefly.
“I think this is enough for me.”
His thumb, resting on her chin, lightly brushed her lower lip.
In their close proximity, Chaewon, struggling to breathe, asked shakily.
“…Let’s not make a mistake again, okay?”
“Who says it was a mistake?”
“That day, you thought it was a mistake, too. That’s why you haven’t mentioned it until now.”
“I never made a mistake, just showed consideration.”
His hand became more assertive, tracing her red lips.
Unable to exhale the breath she’d taken, Chaewon stared into his dark eyes.
As his lips tilted and closed the distance, she found herself speechless.
From the moment he grabbed her arm, she had lost her ability to judge.
“If I say something different tomorrow, I won’t let it pass.”
Yu Gun captured her red lips.
The soft flesh melded assertively into Chaewon, unhesitatingly invading her.
Yu Gun deepened the kiss, pulling her waist closer.
Their hot breaths entangled.
The kiss was too explicit and passionate to be considered a mistake.
Locked in this intimate embrace, he melted her with his fervent breath, demanding acknowledgment.

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.”
