“You, this is your last warning. If you come looking for me after this time, I’ll get the CCTV footage from that day and sue you for dating violence. I’ll find witnesses if needed to prove how suffocating and obsessive you were while we were dating. So don’t ever show your face again.”
Ina, looking at the stunned Jung-hoon as if he were an insect, grabbed Juwon’s hand and pulled him away.
Juwon gave Jung-hoon a final glare before walking away with Ina.
But before they could take a few steps, Jung-hoon screamed.
“Hey!”
Ina turned around with an annoyed face, and Jung-hoon, trembling and pointing angrily, yelled.
“You… how could you do this? I wasn’t even allowed in your house… But you bring this guy back right after reuniting? You sly woman…”
But before Jung-hoon could finish, Juwon walked up and kicked him hard in the shin.
“Ow!”
Jung-hoon grabbed his shin, hopping and then falling to the ground.
Unable to scream from the pain, Jung-hoon lay there suffering as Juwon looked down at him with a cold expression.
“If you talk nonsense to Ina again, next time it’ll be your mouth that I kick.”
Juwon’s intimidating presence made Jung-hoon flinch momentarily.
Juwon looked at Junghoon with cold eyes, then took Ina’s hand and turned around to walk towards the villa’s main gate.
Junghoon, who seemed like he might explode and chase after them, did nothing.
The two, holding hands in silence, entered the elevator.
But once they were in the elevator, reality swiftly returned.
Ina bit her lip in embarrassment and sneaked a glance at Juwon, who was staring ahead with a hardened expression.
Then, Ina lowered her gaze to her hand tightly clasped in Juwon’s.
Should I let go now…
But suddenly releasing it would be weird, she thought, just as the elevator reached the third floor.
They stepped out of the elevator without a word.
Only then did Juwon smoothly let go of Ina’s hand and leaned against the villa window, looking down.
Ina also looked down from the window.
They saw Junghoon, shakily standing up and trembling as he returned to his car.
Yet, for some reason, the car didn’t immediately drive away.
It seemed he was just sitting there without even starting the engine.
The image of him grinding his teeth in anger was vivid even without seeing it.
And since Juwon had shown Junghoon them holding hands, he couldn’t just go back immediately.
Lost in thought, Ina furrowed her brows and cautiously said to Juwon, who was glaring at Junghoon’s car.
“Hey, Juwon…”
At the sound of Ina’s voice, Juwon turned his head to look at her.
“Hey… Do you want to come in for a coffee?”
Juwon silently gazed at Ina, then nodded.
“Alright. I’ll have one.”
Ina went ahead to the entrance, swiping her card key, and quickly gathered her thoughts.
She had cleaned last night and tidied up a bit this morning, so it should be fine, right?
Ina, having given herself the okay, opened the front door.
“Come in.”
Ina, who entered first, took off her shoes and said to Juwon.
“Alright. I’ll just make myself at home then.”
Juwon, removing his shoes, stepped into the living room.
Ina felt strange as Juwon entered the living room.
It was her first time bringing a man to her apartment.
Though her cousin Youngmin sometimes slept over, Juwon was a different, fully grown man, and it seemed to make her nervous.
Unaware of Ina’s feelings, Juwon casually surveyed the cozy and tidy interior.
The cute decorations scattered around caught his eye.
The charming atmosphere somehow suited Ina perfectly.
“Hey… What kind of coffee would you like? I have black and mixed…”
Ina asked Juwon cautiously.
“Black, please. Thanks.”
“Alright. Just sit down for a moment.”
Ina put down her handbag and went to the kitchen.
Juwon sat on the sofa, and soon Ina brought the coffee.
“Here.”
Ina handed a cup to Juwon and sat beside him, holding her own cup.
“Thanks.”
Juwon took the cup and sipped the coffee.
Ina, smelling the subtle aroma of coffee, took a sip and then cautiously spoke.
“Hey… Juwon. I’m sorry.”
Juwon turned his head to look at Ina.
“For what?”
“That… earlier, with Park Junghoon… I just spouted whatever came to mind… I’m really sorry.”
“Why are you apologizing for that?”
Now it was Ina’s turn to turn and look at Juwon.
“…Huh?”
“Maybe it’s better to shock someone like him that way. And to say it was just spontaneous… your quick thinking and wit were perfect, weren’t they?”
Ina blinked her eyes rapidly, staring at Juwon.
“You really act well. I almost got emotionally involved for a moment. Like we were lovers reuniting after 10 years.”
As Juwon spoke with a smile, suddenly Ina’s cheeks flushed.
Feeling embarrassed, she looked for a non-existent mouse hole, when Juwon continued speaking.
“But you know, 10 years ago we were in our senior year of high school, right? That guy would think, ‘Were these kids fooling around instead of studying?'”
After saying this, Juwon chuckled.
Ina also laughed, realizing the humor in his words.
After a while, having finished their coffee, Juwon went out to the balcony to look down, and Ina followed.
Junghoon’s car was still there.
“Why hasn’t he left yet?”
Ina said, frowning.
“I really want to go down and kick him out, but it’s too late. It must have been noisy earlier because of us.”
“You’re right. It’s too late.”
Juwon looked down silently, then said to Ina.
“So, I was wondering… Can I stay here tonight?”
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.”
