“Oh, really? Then, there’s nothing we can do. Well, Ina, let’s see each other next time if there’s a chance.”
Ina nodded with a smile at the colleague’s words.
“Yes, let’s meet next time.”
“Well, then, we’ll go first.”
After greeting Hojun and colleagues, Juwon walked away.
During the walk to the parking lot, Juwon strangely remained silent.
However, he only gently stroked Ina’s hand, which he was holding tightly.
Eventually, when the car stopped, Juwon opened the passenger door for Ina.
“Thanks.”
As Ina got in, Juwon slowly returned to the driver’s seat and got into the car.
While Ina silently fastened her seatbelt, Juwon turned towards her.
“Ina.”
In response to his gentle call, Ina looked at Juwon.
Extending his hand, Juwon handed Ina’s hair and asked,
“Are you feeling okay now?”
“Huh? Oh… I’m fine?”
As Ina answered with confusion, Juwon, who had been silently observing Ina, asked,
“By any chance, was Minsuji in the restroom?”
Ina’s eyes widened.
“Oh? How did you… How do you know?”
Surprised by Ina’s questioning gaze, Juwon sighed briefly and tightly held Ina’s hand.
“Sorry.”
With a sudden apology, Ina’s eyes widened even more.
“I never thought I’d say this to you… But seeing your expression now, I feel like I should.”
As Ina looked at Juwon with a tense expression, Juwon, holding Ina’s hand firmly, said,
“I met Minsuji about a year and a half ago, three years ago.”
Although Ina had already heard the story from Minsuji, hearing it again from Juwon had a greater impact than she thought.
It felt like her heart was dropping to the soles of her feet.
“But because we ended it without any lingering feelings back then, there’s not a trace of emotions left.”
Ina swallowed hard.
“After it ended three years ago, I haven’t seen her until the alumni meeting last week. But that’s all there is. There’s nothing more to add or subtract. And I didn’t know Minsuji would be at the wedding today. Well, even if I knew, I would have come with you. I have no remaining feelings.”
Ina could sense the sincerity in Juwon’s calm voice.
Juwon reached out and touched Ina’s cheek.
“Still, anyway… I’m sorry for putting you in an uncomfortable situation. I didn’t predict that a situation like this would arise, and I’m sorry.”
Ina held Juwon’s hand that was touching her cheek.
“No, why are you apologizing? You also didn’t expect such a situation. So, don’t apologize.”
Juwon looked at Ina with an affectionate expression.
“By the way, did Minsuji say anything in the restroom?”
“Huh?”
“She definitely seemed to say something.”
Ina hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth.
“Well… She said she dated you for a year and a half.”
After Juwon let out a short sigh, he looked at Ina.
“And anything else?”
“Um…”
“Tell me everything.”
“After not seeing each other for three years, she still…”
“Still?”
“She said you’re still very attractive.”
Juwon closed his eyes tightly.
In response, Ina took Juwon’s hand and said,
“But, well, it’s the truth, isn’t it?”
At Ina’s words, Juwon’s eyes widened.
Reaching out her hand, Ina gently caressed Juwon’s handsome face.
“With such fatal charm, where else in the world can you find a man like you?”
“…”
As Juwon remained silent, Ina grinned and said.
“Did I feel proud hearing those words? How attractive must you be that even such a beautiful woman can’t seem to move on?”
While smiling, Juwon seemed somewhat poignant as he gazed at Ina without saying a word, then reached out and took her hand, guiding it toward his chest.
As Ina felt the vigorous beating of Juwon’s powerful heart, her own heart began to race in response.
“Ina.”
With sincerity welling up from deep within his chest, Juwon called Ina’s name.
“Huh?”
“Even now and in the future… my heart will always be filled with you.”
In Juwon’s black eyes gazing at Ina, love was abundantly evident.
“Seoina, my heart will be filled with you.”
Juwon reiterated his commitment, and Ina’s heart swelled with emotion.
“I, too… my heart will be filled with you, Juwon.”
As Ina spoke with a trembling voice, Juwon smiled and looked at her. Then, he gently pulled Ina closer and embraced her.
Nestled in Juwon’s wide and warm embrace, Ina could feel his heart pounding vigorously, announcing its presence.
Closing her eyes, Ina listened to the powerful rhythmic sound.
After a while, the two of them drove to the mall and leisurely enjoyed their date.
Having a delicious dinner, they later went to a cozy coffee shop and enjoyed a relaxed cup of coffee.
Engaged in various conversations, it was past 10 PM when they finally stood up from their seats.
Around 11:30 PM, Juwon’s car pulled up in front of the villa where Ina lived.
“You must be tired. Go up quickly. Sleep well and see my mom tomorrow.”
Tomorrow, being Sunday, Ina’s mom was coming up to Seoul early in the morning for a relative’s wedding.
“Yeah. You too, be careful and get a good rest.”
“Sure. Go up quickly.”
As Juwon lightly kissed Ina’s cheek, she smiled and got out of the car.
After shaking hands with Ina, Juwon watched as she entered the villa. He confirmed the lights on the third floor were turned on.
Then, Juwon slowly placed his hand on the steering wheel and started the car.
Staring straight ahead with a cold gaze.
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.”
