Giving your heart to one person while stealing the hope from the other is more cruel than one might think.
While sighing, she descended the subway stairs, and the phone rang. It was Juwon.
“Hello?”
Where are you?
“Me? I’m heading down to catch the subway right now.”
I told you to call me.
“No, I’m on my way to catch the subway. Well, I’ll go to your neighborhood.”
After a moment of silence, Juwon sighed briefly before answering.
Then come out of exit 10 at Jamsil Station. I’ll be waiting outside.
“Yeah, got it.”
Ina, who had taken the subway, leaned against the subway door with a vacant expression and went to Jamsil Station.
After a while, Ina got off the subway and walked briskly towards exit 10.
As she rode the escalator, she saw Juwon standing not far away.
Juwon, wearing black jersey training clothes and sneakers, looked unfamiliar.
When Ina descended from the escalator, Juwon approached quickly.
Approaching, Juwon carefully examined Ina’s face.
Though Ina tried to force a smile, Juwon read the sadness on her face.
Juwon pulled Ina gently into an embrace.
People who had just gotten off the escalator glanced at the two affectionately.
Ina, feeling embarrassed, tried to pull away, but Juwon raised his right hand and gently stroked Ina’s hair from behind.
“Our kind Ina, are you feeling upset?”
As if reading her mind, Juwon comforted Ina with affectionate words.
“When I see you this upset, that person must have been quite a good person, huh?”
Once looking at her like an avenger for her parents’ death, now Juwon was saying such nice things. Ina felt grateful.
After releasing Ina from his embrace, Juwon lowered his height to match Ina’s eye level.
“But it can’t be helped, right? From now on, you’re Lee Juwon’s.”
“…”
Ina’s mouth opened slightly at Juwon’s smiling expression.
Wow… After deciding to date, he’s completely unrestrained in his actions. Completely!
Seeing Ina in a daze, Juwon chuckled and, placing his hand on Ina’s waist, pulled her closer.
“Let’s go.”
“W-Where are we going?”
“Since our Ina might be feeling a bit down, let’s get some fresh air.”
“Fresh air?”
“Yeah. How about seeing the Han River at night? It might lift your spirits.”
“Aren’t you tired?”
At Ina’s words, Juwon lightly tapped her nose with his right hand.
“What’s tiring about being with you?”
“…”
As Ina’s face turned red, Juwon smiled and strengthened his grip on her waist.
“I parked the car over there. Let’s go.”
Blushing, Ina followed Juwon to the car.
Inside the car driving over the Han River Bridge, a sweet pop song was playing.
Ina had been stealing glances at Juwon’s profile since earlier.
With one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding her hand tightly, Juwon’s side profile looked so cool…
‘Even in training clothes, why does he look so cool? Lee Juwon is probably still handsome even if he wears rags. This man is my man…’
Overwhelmed by emotions, Ina took a deep breath.
“Ina, could you live like this?”
While driving and looking straight ahead, Juwon suddenly threw out a question.
“Huh?”
Surprised, Ina looked at Juwon.
“Why do you keep stealing glances at me?”
Juwon asked teasingly with a playful tone.
“Huh? W-When did I steal glances?”
“Why do I keep feeling a hot gaze on the right side of my face?”
In response, Ina cleared her throat nervously and quickly averted her gaze.
“Just wait a moment. I’ll let you look to your heart’s content.”
“What, what are you talking about? Seriously.”
Surprised, Ina quickly looked out the window, and her cheeks turned red.
Juwon chuckled at Ina’s bewildered expression.
After a while, Juwon’s car entered the Han River Park.
Parking the car at the end of the parking lot, Juwon unfastened his seatbelt and turned his upper body towards Ina.
“Alright. Now, look to your heart’s content.”
“What, what am I supposed to look at?”
Ina asked in surprise as Juwon suddenly approached.
“My face.”
As Juwon got even closer, Ina’s night-colored eyes widened.
“Well, the side view might be handsome, but the front view is more artistic. So, look to your heart’s content.”
No… Why did Juwon suddenly become so shameless? Is this the same Juwon I knew?
Or was he the world’s greatest narcissist all along, and I just didn’t know it?
Juwon grabbed Ina’s cheeks, making her face him.
“What are you thinking while looking at me?”
As if about to touch her any moment, Ina stared at the sculpted face before her.
She gently raised her hand and touched Juwon’s cheek.
“Okay, I admit it. You’re really… incredibly handsome.”
As Ina muttered, Juwon silently held Ina’s hand on his cheek.
“You’re beautiful too.”
As if responding, Juwon smiled gently.
“So beautiful that it’s unbelievable.”
In response to Juwon’s consecutive remarks, Ina’s mouth opened slightly.
“Why?”
“A bit… it’s embarrassing.”
“What is?”
“Because suddenly, only sweet words are coming from your mouth… It feels strange.”
Juwon, with a raised corner of his mouth, touched Ina’s cheek and said, “Is it strange that I’m sweet-talking my own?”

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

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.
