Se-hee was dressed in an elegant gown, having just finished getting ready for the midnight event.
As if on cue, the doorbell rang at the perfect moment.
She slowly opened the door to find Kyle standing there, almost like a real boyfriend.
“You’re early?” A bright smile spread across Se-hee’s face as she greeted Kyle.
Perhaps her previous assertion during dinner that they were nothing to each other was partly to gauge his feelings. She was already leaning towards him and wanted to know if he felt the same. Yet, Kyle’s reaction to her words had both startled and intrigued her.
And now, to be escorted by him felt exhilarating.
Se-hee was wearing the dress sent by Kyle. It was the dress she had admired the most, shimmering with delicate silver pearls. In Kyle’s eyes, Se-hee outshone the dress itself.
“……It suits you well.”
“Ah… the captain sent it as a gift. It’s quite expensive. Maybe your talk of luck is coming true. I might even win the wedding event.”
Se-hee shrugged her shoulders excitedly.
“Well… it’s possible.”
Knowing the result already, Kyle responded briefly, hiding his emotions.
“By the way, I realized I hadn’t returned your suit jacket. I forgot.”
“We should head to the event hall now. I’ll take it back later.”
“Yes, that sounds good.”
Se-hee grinned.
Kyle hadn’t forgotten that his jacket was still with Se-hee. Somehow, he wanted it to remain there, especially since that annoying guy had shown up at her door. The jacket felt like a shield protecting Se-hee.
Kyle was caught up in these seemingly trivial thoughts.
The grand ballroom where the event was being held was already bustling with people.
“Wow. There are so many people. Did everyone on the ship enter? They must really want to wear that wedding dress. What was the designer’s name again?”
Se-hee was as excited as a child.
“It’s from the famous designer Perfectory.”
“Ah… Perfectory! It was so beautiful. The bride wearing such a gorgeous wedding dress must be very happy.”
Admiration filled Se-hee’s face as she looked back at Kyle.
‘Se-hee, you will be wearing it.’
Kyle responded in his heart, nodding in agreement.
“Still some time left before the event starts. Too many people, isn’t it? Are you okay?”
Se-hee asked, concerned for Kyle.
“I can handle it.”
“Thank you. I know you don’t like places like this.”
“I never said I disliked them.”
Kyle frowned slightly.
“Do you have to say it out loud? I can tell just by looking at you. Even now, it’s written all over your face.”
Se-hee playfully commented, noticing Kyle’s continuing frown.
In truth, Kyle was nervous. Soon, the manipulated results would be announced. He had even practiced facial expressions to seem natural, but everything felt awkward.
At the bar with Se-hee, Kyle quickly emptied his glasses.
“Are you nervous, Kyle? You’ll get drunk if you drink so fast.”
Se-hee held his glass with a worried look.
“Just thirsty.”
“Then you should drink water.”
Se-hee quickly grabbed the ice water beside her and smiled.
The sparkling face of Se-hee captured Kyle’s gaze.
She was beautiful.
So much so, he thought that maybe he had done such a thing just to see that smile.
The principles he had steadfastly maintained until now had finally collapsed.
Because of this beautiful woman standing before him.
Kyle gulped down the ice water Se-hee had handed him.
The cold ice water slid down his throat, but it couldn’t cool his burning heart.
At that moment.
The host leading the event on the stage finally started the draw countdown.
Then, all the passengers in the hall joined in counting down.
Three, two, one.
As they shouted zero, the host pressed the button.
The event box containing numerous capsules started to rotate with a loud noise.
For that moment, the grand banquet hall was so quiet that not even a breath could be heard.
Everyone tensed up, their eyes fixed on the rotating box of capsules.
Finally, one capsule rolled out.
“Now, let’s open it.”
The host lifted the capsule.
The anticipation added to the atmosphere, stirring up the crowd.
“Oh my, I’m so nervous. The odds are low, why am I shaking like this? This is the first time I’ve felt this way.”
Se-hee was like a child brimming with anticipation just before receiving a gift, not knowing what to do.
Kyle watched Se-hee with a subtle smile on his face.
Meanwhile, a heavy, uneasy emotion made him uncomfortable.
“The winner is…….”
The host stopped his speech to the audience, took a deep breath, and heightened the tension.
“It’s Se-hee! Congratulations.”
With the host’s powerful announcement, cheers and applause erupted.
However, Se-hee, the actual winner, was just staring blankly at the host.
Like a plaster statue.
“Se-hee! If you’re here, please come up to the stage.”
With Se-hee not appearing, shocked and frozen, the host called the winner’s name again from the stage.
“Did you hear that just now? My name, they called me, right? Is it really my name? Could there be another Se-hee?”
Se-hee couldn’t believe her name had come from the host’s mouth.

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.”
