He raised his index finger slowly as if performing a ritual. Rajin unconsciously clasped her hands together. When he blew air gently, the tiny eyelash flitted away.
“I made a wish.”
“If this mission succeeds, it will all be thanks to you, Rajin.”
His single comment dissolved the intense tension and her previous desire to quit.
“And I’ll send you the emergency contact and password.”
He shared the contact number of Prosecutor Yeo Hojin, his close colleague and sister, and the password for his mother’s studio, to be used when necessary.
“I’ll also share my schedule with you for reference.”
“Alright. And don’t worry about being followed. They probably won’t be able to tail us.”
“Still… be careful.”
10:10 PM. It felt like they hardly spoke, yet time flew by. An hour passed in a blink.
Did I miss anything?
Rajin sifted through her thoughts, feeling slightly empty.
Whether it was because of their shared goal against Kim Yoo-jun or the face of danger, she knew she had to leave but wanted to stay with him a bit longer.
Then she sighed, looking up at the night sky.
“I should go now.”
“I wish I could escort you home. That’s a shame.”
He said it so naturally, with a picturesque smile.
‘He smiles really well.’
He was more expressive than she thought, and a smile suited him better than a poker face.
“Rajin?”
“…….”
“Rajin?”
Caught staring at him, Rajin quickly composed herself. Feeling as if caught doing something wrong, she brushed her clothes noisily.
“I was just thinking. I should go now, my manager is waiting.”
“Let me know when you get home.”
“Yes, I will. I’ll contact you. Contact.”
Pointing towards the door with her finger, Rajin bowed and left the garden hastily, her face burning as if she had fallen into a pit of fire.
“Senior, here are Oh Jong-hyuk’s immigration records.”
Rustling through the papers, Prosecutor Kang Jiho’s lips curved into a relaxed smile. Oh Jong-hyuk was exactly as expected.
Grinding his teeth, he had pressured Rajin.
A low-level thug, practically, and yet he dared to torment Rajin? Jiho was determined to set things straight so that Oh Jong-hyuk couldn’t do that again.
“He’s a habitual offender.”
“Seems like he engaged in round-trip transactions for gambling abroad.”
“How much?”
“Just what we’ve found is over a billion.”
Now that they had caught his tail, it was possible to get a warrant from the International Crime Investigation Unit and the National Tax Service within the week.
“Release articles on overseas gambling today. Request a massive tax audit from the National Tax Service.”
“Yes!”
“I’ll handle coordination with the International Crime Investigation Unit.”
As Hojin was about to leave,
“Hojin, I gave Rajin your contact.”
“……What?”
“Your contact, I gave it to her.”
“What? Did you say Rajin, as in Park Rajin?”
“It’s Rajin, what else would I call her?”
Chuckling, Hojin soon sported a mischievous smile.
“So Park Rajin becomes Rajin, and then our Rajin?”
“Stop your nonsense. Here’s the contact. Save it.”
“Getting the Goddess’ personal number. My life’s worth it even if I quit now.”
Jiho shook his head at Hojin’s joke about resigning.
“Be cautious with security, and from today, expect to be followed.”
“Those brutal people.”
Jiho couldn’t help but smile at Hojin’s straightforward assessment.
“Be careful yourself. And hurry up with Oh Jong-hyuk’s case.”
“Yes! I’ll prepare everything for the warrant.”
Jiho gave a thumbs up to Hojin’s surefire response.
Once Hojin left, Jiho slumped over the desk filled with documents.
Glancing at the countless papers processed throughout the morning, he spun in his chair.
A cloudless, sunny sky.
“Beautiful.”
Regardless of dust or storms, Jiho had lived indifferent to seasons. But today, the blue sky was particularly striking.
“Would be nice to go out.”
A sigh escaped him, followed by a leaning back into the chair.
“Gangaji ssi… Gangaji ssi.”
The thought of Rajin, who seemed fragile and precarious, now laughing and talking freely, crossed his mind. Has she become more comfortable, closer?
Her face, playful and bright-eyed, popped into his mind, making him chuckle.
Her laughter, like a chirping bird, still echoed in his ears. Suddenly, he picked up his phone.
“What’s her schedule today?”
He had been too busy to check the schedule Rajin sent early in the morning. Slowly flipping through it,
“First week of June, photoshoot in France and Italy.”
As a luxury brand ambassador, she had international engagements lined up.
Jiho stored her schedule in his mind and put down the phone.
“Let’s call it a day, Gangaji ssi.”
Muttering to himself, he picked up the documents Hojin brought. As he marked important points and processed them, he halted at a legal opinion sent by the Myungjin Group. It was a kind of cooperation request considering Kim Yoo-jun’s schedule.
―Myungjin Group Executive Kim Yoo-jun’s overseas trip.
―To attend a forum for global research outcomes of Myungjin Bio (First week of June, visits planned to France, Italy, Germany)
“Kim Yoo-jun, what trick are you playing!”
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.”
