“Well, if there’s a chance next time, I’ll contact you again.”
“Yes.”
After summarizing the meeting with Chae Jaehee and entering the parking lot of the officetel, unexpectedly, Taekyung appeared in front of her.
She wasn’t waiting, and it seemed like they coincidentally reached the parking lot at the same time.
As she was about to turn off the engine and get out, he suddenly opened the passenger door.
“Surprise.”
Leaning against the passenger seat like a slinky, Taekyung turns his head and smiles at Wooyeon.
“Did you enjoy your meal?”
Unlike usual, his face truly looked exhausted. Suppressing her surprise, Wooyeon warmly smiled back, mirroring his fatigue.
“Yes. And you, sir? Did you have your meal?”
“I just had it with Manager Han a little while ago.”
“I see.”
“Who did you meet?”
“….”
“I know continuously prying like this isn’t charming, but I was really curious.”
“It’s a secret. I can’t tell you.”
After bluntly replying, he chuckled and then burst into laughter.
Then, he changed his expression and stared at Wooyeon in silence for a while.
She couldn’t read his thoughts. Taekyung was a person with a strong poker face, and his words often went beyond expectations.
“Yoon Wooyeon.”
“Yes?”
“Shall we go for a drive? If you’re tired, I’ll drive.”
Wooyeon hesitated for a moment but eventually replied.
“No, I’ll drive.”
In the end, they moved the parked car again. Fortunately, Seoul was quiet at this late hour.
The roads were clear, and they didn’t hit any red lights. Wooyeon’s car, gliding like a slippery fish, headed toward the sea in Incheon.
Seeing the sign for the beach, Wooyeon stopped the car in front of the sandy shore for a moment.
During the ride, she spoke up to Taekyung, who had been quietly closing his eyes.
“Would you like some coffee?”
Taekyung, opening his eyes and looking ahead several times, responded.
“I don’t see a cafe around here.”
“It’s right there.”
Wooyeon pointed with her finger at an old coffee vending machine.
Seeing his subtle smile, Wooyeon got out of the car.
She brought two cups of coffee and handed one to him through the car window.
He took the paper cup from the middle.
“Would you like some coffee from a vending machine?”
When she asked, Taekyung shook his head. Smiling faintly, Wooyeon seemed to be saying, “Try it; you might be surprised.”
He looked at her with a gaze that seemed to doubt it. Smiling lightly, Wooyeon urged him to taste it, and he pretended to drink the coffee.
“Drink it slowly; it’s hot.”
Despite the warning, he tasted the coffee without blowing on it.
Whether he naturally didn’t feel pain much or endured it in front of her, she couldn’t tell.
Watching Taekyung’s forehead after tasting it, she couldn’t discern any change. Focusing on his forehead with great expectations, Wooyeon asked him.
“How is it?”
“…The taste.”
“The taste?”
“Not good.”
“Chi.”
As she had done before, she retorted the same way, but his expression changed.
It was hot and poignant.
His gaze, which never seemed to fade, made Wooyeon feel awkward in this moment.
The density of the air felt incredibly high, and it was as if her breath was being choked. Eventually, unable to resist, she lowered her gaze and asked about his intentions.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You know you’re pretty, right?”
“…….”
“Because you’re pretty, that’s why I look at you. Do I need any other reason?”
It was embarrassing.
Hearing the words “you’re pretty” from Cha Taekyung’s mouth was a powerful sentence that made her heart thump.
This person’s words always upset me, excite me, and shake the whole universe.
“Yoon Wooyeon.”
“Yes, sir.”
“I had a lot of upsetting things today, but seeing Yoon Wooyeon’s face makes me forget it all.”
Silence lingered.
It was pitiful to hear that he had a distressing day. Wooyeon, who didn’t know how to comfort people well, pondered deeply and, unable to find an answer, looked at him intently.
“What more can I do for you?”
Wooyeon squinted her eyes. What to do when the coffee seemed to be a failure? Her gaze seemed to say, “What now?”
Taekyung reached out and touched Wooyeon’s hair.
“Is it naturally like this?”
“Yes?”
Not understanding what he meant, she felt bewildered.
Taekyung laughed.
“I’m asking if you were born this good at seducing people.”
“……. ”
“Yoon Wooyeon, you’re charming. I keep falling for you, but you don’t seem to take responsibility for that.”
“……”
“Isn’t that right?”
After biting his lips, he suddenly placed his thumb between his lips, as if saying, “Bite it if you’re going to bite.”
“Bite it. Don’t let go.”
“……. ”
Feeling a foreign object in her mouth, Wooyeon opened her eyes wide and met his gaze.
Was it his finger or him? It was confusing.
“Next Friday, there’s a social gathering at the Wedding Tower. How about it?”
Do you want to come? That was the question.
Wooyeon blinked. Could she meet Jo Inyoung there?
Although she hadn’t revealed her presence so far, the general consensus was that, after the wedding, she would be seen in various places with her husband, Kim Minjun, for a while.
She was very curious about her sister’s face when she saw her there.
It would be interesting, she thought.
She might have thought we would never meet again.
No.
I can go to an even better place.
I’ll show you and tell you.
Even if it wasn’t the way.
So, envy me.
Hate me.
Like I did for a very long time.
Wooyeon nodded with his finger in her mouth.
Slickly, where his finger had slipped away, his lips brushed against hers.
As expected, the vending machine coffee tasted just as she had expected.
It was sweet and delicious.
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.”
