Ina whispered to Hyunju, who gestured not to worry.
Siwoo greeted them with a smile, sat down, and asked,
“Sorry, did you wait long?”
“No, not much. Traffic was bad, huh?”
“Yeah, a bit.”
“We ordered jokbal. It should be out soon. But what about the drink? Are you up for it?”
“Yeah, sure. Jokbal needs a shot of soju.”
“Right, right. Let’s drink.”
Hyunju glanced at Ina and then poured soju for Siwoo.
Although she wanted to ask more about Jiwon, she decided to focus on the present.
Soon, the mouth-watering jokbal was served, and the three of them raised their soju glasses.
As they chatted and drank, Ina deliberately kept her voice cheerful.
Honestly, it was hard to focus 100% on their conversation, but she tried her best.
Whenever she felt her thoughts drifting towards Jiwon, she picked up her soju glass.
Drinking seemed to keep the turmoil of unfamiliar emotions at bay.
As a result, she continued to drink, and after three hours, Ina’s eyes were half-closed.
Ina honestly shared about the unknown emotions she felt towards Jiwon on Sunday.
After hearing everything, Hyunju put her hand on her chin with a deep expression.
“So, you felt those feelings for Jiwon several times throughout that Sunday?”
Ina nodded silently.
“Then isn’t that like a 100% green light?”
“I’m not sure. But it’s strange, right? Suddenly feeling this way about a friend.”
“What’s so strange about it? He’s a man before he’s a friend.”
Her words weren’t wrong, but feeling suddenly unsettled, Ina reached for her soju glass.
“Hey, drink slowly. You’ll ruin your stomach. Wait until the jokbal comes.”
Hyunju handed Ina a cucumber slice, and she took it with a complicated expression.
“Hey, but is he good-looking?”
“Why do you ask?”
“Isn’t it natural to be curious about his looks? How is he? Good-looking?”
Recalling Jiwon’s appearance, Ina thought about his deep, dark eyes, perfectly drawn black eyebrows, smooth and straight nose, and irresistibly attractive lips…
No words seemed enough to describe Jiwon’s charming face.
Feeling embarrassed for having such thoughts, Ina’s cheeks turned red.
Seeing her reaction, Hyunju squinted her eyes.
“See? Your face says he’s handsome. He is, isn’t he?”
Embarrassed, Ina covered her cheeks with her hands.
“Is he more handsome than Siwoo?”
“Huh?”
“Is he more handsome than Kim Siwoo? Siwoo is also really handsome.”
Ina pondered, touching her cheek.
Siwoo was indeed very handsome, popular in school, and had become even more handsome as an adult.
But Ina’s heart was already leaning towards Jiwon.
Her cheeks reddened even more, and Hyunju opened her mouth in surprise.
“What? He’s more handsome than Kim Siwoo? Then… how handsome is he?”
Hyunju’s eyes widened as the door opened and Siwoo entered.
Seeing Siwoo, Hyunju quickly changed her expression and waved.
“Siwoo! Here, over here.”
“You won’t say anything weird to Siwoo, will you?”
Ina whispered to Hyunju, who gestured reassuringly.
Siwoo greeted them with a smile and sat down.
“Sorry, did you wait long?”
“No, not really. Was the traffic bad?”
“Yeah, a bit.”
“We’ve ordered jokbal, it should be here soon. But what about drinking? Are you up for it?”
“Yeah, sure. Jokbal goes well with a shot of soju.”
“Let’s drink then.”
Hyunju glanced at Ina and then poured soju for Siwoo.
Although she wanted to dig more about Jiwon, she decided to focus on the moment.
Soon, the appetizing jokbal arrived, and they raised their soju glasses.
While chatting and drinking, Ina maintained a bright tone, trying to focus on the conversation.
But she kept picking up her soju glass whenever she thought of Jiwon.
Drinking seemed to help keep the unsettling feelings at bay.
As the night went on, she drank more, and after three hours, Ina’s eyes were half-closed.
[Siwoo] Send me the address here through a message.
“Huh? This place? Why do you want the address?”
Ina asked, startled.
At Ina’s words, Hyunju’s eyes widened, and Siwoo also looked at Ina with a puzzled expression.
[Siwoo] You seem very drunk, so I’ll take you home.“Huh? No, I’m really okay.”
Ina, taken aback, shook her head as if Jiwon could see her, and Hyunju quickly asked,
“Why? What did Jiwon say?”
“Huh? He, he’s saying he’ll come here?”
At that, Hyunju’s eyes sparkled.

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.”
