Monday morning.
Jaepil delayed his commute preparations a bit and waited for his grandson, Taejun.
Since he visited the house yesterday, he decided to visit early in the morning to match his father’s schedule.
When he heard from Yang Hee-wook that Han Soeun and his grandson were dating, Jaepil quickly delved into Han Soeun’s past and present. He hoped it wouldn’t be true, but it turned out that Han Soeun was Han Honggyu’s illegitimate daughter.
Initially, Jaepil was shocked to learn that Han Soeun had joined K Group. It was questionable what conscience she had to crawl in here when her father had cut off K Group’s backbone. He was suspicious of her intentions.
He even considered whether Han Soeun and his grandson had been in constant contact. The idea that his grandson, who promised to return to Korea at the age of thirty, suddenly returned a year earlier and volunteered for the position of Central Branch Manager at K Electronic Services, where Han Soeun worked, seemed suspicious. If his grandson had manipulated Han Soeun to make him return to Korea early, he wouldn’t be able to forgive him.
However, everything went against Jaepil’s expectations. The one who approached was not Han Soeun but his grandson. Taejun had been searching for Han Soeun since a year before his return to Korea.
Somehow, Han Soeun didn’t know what her father had done, and Taejun had been the one relentlessly approaching her first. He created the TF team, made Yang Hee-wook break up with her, followed her. Faced with Taejun’s relentless determination, Han Soeun seemed to be at a loss.
Therefore, it was even more heartbreaking. His grandson, who was still captivated by the futile affection of twenty years ago, seemed pitiable and regretful.
Fortunately, Han Soeun was not a stubborn child. She had the tenacity to endure criticism, but she didn’t have a stubborn temperament that would oppose adults. The matter was resolved without any trouble.
However, what Han Soeun left behind when she left Korea was bewildering.
[Mr. Kim Taejun, I took a few watches from your house. Later, when you have plenty of time, you can say you found them stolen and return them. Please take care of them.]Yesterday, after ending the call, Soeun made such a cheeky request. A few hours after the call, just as Soeun had said, several watches were in Jaepil’s hands.
She was a very cheeky little one to the end.
Rather than just saying that she had cooled off and left, she left a clue for her grandson. If the relentless guy, his grandson, was true to his nature, he wouldn’t hesitate to report Han Soeun as a thief and request an international investigation to find her.
He had no choice but to face fate and see what happened.
While leisurely having a meal, as expected, his grandson arrived.
“Grandfather.”
“Oh, really. What’s the matter? You’ve been looking for me since yesterday.”
Jaepil was very surprised that his grandson suddenly showed up, but he showed a welcoming expression with a hint of surprise.
Facing such Jaepil, Taejun had no polite smile. A murky tone seemed to grip his grandson’s pupils.
“I came to ask you something.”
“Sure. Speak. Speak. I also have something to say.”
“Then you go first.”
“Are you preparing for the board meeting well? I’ll check too, but keep an eye on Kim Sang-deok’s movements. That sinister guy might lead you into trouble, so be careful.”
“…….”
“That’s what I wanted to say. Yeah, why did you look for your grandfather like that?”
For two days after Han Soeun disappeared, his grandson’s face showed signs of not having proper sleep. Jaepil wanted to slap his grandson’s back. Please, pull yourself together. But in the position where he had to keep silent, he had to swallow the frustrating feelings without revealing them.
“Do you have anything to hide from me, Grandfather?”
“Hide something?”
“……. ”
“It’s obvious that I can’t tell you some company top-secret information. But someday you’ll know too. It will be your secret then.”
“No. Not that.”
“……. ”
“Regarding my personal matters, do you really have nothing to hide? Even if you investigated me secretly.”
His grandson didn’t even mention the name Han Soeun. He knew that it was a name that should not be mentioned to his grandfather. The guy was still holding onto a straw. There was a lingering determination to hide her existence again if he found Han Soeun. It meant that he would continue the tragic encounter.
“Inseok.”
Jaepil tried his best to maintain composure.
“Do you know how busy your grandfather is? Even after calling you to Korea, I haven’t had a day to spend with you.”
“……. ”
“By any chance, was it an accident? If so, it’s better to confess quickly. We need to handle it immediately.”
For a moment, in the murky atmosphere, his grandson’s gaze wavered. The moonlit eyes, like the sky full of clouds, looked pitiful. Still, Taejun stubbornly remained silent.
On Monday morning, Bobae was struck by a bolt of lightning as soon as she arrived at work. She heard the news from her team leader that Soeun had resigned.

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

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.”
