“Today, my daughter is getting married to Jin Seonwoo, the Head of Development Projects at K1 Construction, right across the street in the special suite of K1 Hotel. People may envy her for becoming in-laws with a chaebol family, but I’m just grateful to see how much my daughter and son-in-law care for and love each other.”
Han Munteak paused briefly, and the crowd of reporters around him became noisier.
“Congratulations, Han Reporter.”
“What, isn’t that Assemblyman Min? And Assemblyman Jang is here too?”
Several politicians, who had connections with Han Munteak, a former political journalist at Goryeo Daily, appeared at this ridiculous scene to show off their connections. The journalists were more excited as they had more to report on.
‘I can’t believe this!’
Green quickly realized why her father was putting on such a clownish display. Frustrated that he couldn’t invite guests to the wedding to show off his connection to K1 Construction, he was making a spectacle like this instead.
Unable to bear the embarrassment, Green covered her face with her bag and dashed into K1 Hotel.
Entering the makeup room, the attendant immediately sat her down and skillfully started working.
“Just keep it simple, basic makeup please.”
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event. You should take advantage of all the services available!”
“No, really, just basic makeup, please. I’m begging you.”
The staff, hoping to show off their skills for the granddaughter-in-law of the owner, were disappointed, but Green didn’t care. She was too preoccupied with the thought of her father, Han Munteak, making a scene outside the hotel.
“When did all those reporters start gathering?”
“Since 9 AM. At first, they were right in front of the special suite, interviewing your father, but it was too noisy, so the manager chased them all away. Then they started making a commotion across the street from the hotel…”
The makeup artist, who had been gossiping about Green’s father and the reporters, suddenly realized who she was talking to and clammed up, scared. She feared for her job, having talked ill of the bride’s father to the bride herself. Her hands, holding the makeup brush, started to shake.
From then on, the makeup room was silent. The lack of conversation made the artist work faster.
After finishing her makeup and hair and getting into her wedding dress, it was only 12 PM.
“There’s still a lot of time until the ceremony. Would you like to go to the bridal waiting room?”
“Yes, I’ll do that.”
As soon as Green sat down in the bridal waiting room, Seonwoo arrived, dressed in a comfortable navy blue suit. It was a fine suit that accentuated his fit physique, but it didn’t quite match the typical look of a groom on his wedding day.
“Have you arrived?”
A faint smile finally appeared on Green’s face, which had been weighed down by anxiety about the preparations. She looked picture-perfect, sitting in the bridal waiting room after her makeup.
Seonwoo stared intently at Green. He had already seen her transformed into a beautiful woman on the day of their formal introduction, but seeing her in a wedding dress was both new and unfamiliar.
“Green, are you done with your preparations?”
“Yes, the staff are so good here, it was finished quickly.”
He, too, had seen Han Munteak’s antics in front of the hotel and was feeling displeased.
But seeing Green in her pure white wedding dress somehow purified his mood, muddied by Han Munteak’s performance.
It was a hollow marriage, but the realization that she was his wife from today struck him anew. He was also somewhat concerned about the time she would have to endure from now on.
“Are you okay?”
“Of course.”
Green confidently responded to Seonwoo’s concerned gaze.
“Seonwoo, if you keep your promise to me, I’ll do my best for you too,” Green wanted to let Seonwoo know.
“Shall we shake hands?”
Green extended her hand first to Seonwoo. Seonwoo’s large palm firmly enveloped Green’s small and soft hand.
Her hand, which had been as cold as a block of ice, felt like it regained its normal temperature upon touching Seonwoo’s warm hand. His warmth seemed to melt even the tension frozen in her heart.
“Please take good care of me, Seonwoo.”
“I will, thank you.”
Their gazes lingered on each other for a while. As Seonwoo was about to speak, a knock on the door interrupted them, and a staff member entered.
“Director, Secretary An Yonggi has arrived.”
“Yes, I’ll be out shortly.”
Seonwoo’s gaze lingered on Green’s pale face before withdrawing. Green felt pity in his eyes, but she soon shook her head.
There was no reason for him to feel sorry for her. This was, after all, a mutual contract.
As Seonwoo turned and slowly disappeared from her view, Green collapsed into her seat without realizing it.
A sudden fear engulfed her, as if she was set adrift in the vast ocean on a small boat. Her bouquet trembled in her hand, but this anxiety couldn’t be shared with anyone.
From now on, it was entirely up to her to handle.
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.”
