“I’ll have the delivery soon. Lie down there and rest. When the groceries arrive, I’ll cook you a delicious porridge.”
As Suna closed and entered Sehee’s officetel, she spoke.
“Thank you so much, Manager Kim.”
When Sehee first joined the company, it was Kim Suna, the manager, who became connected to her as her mentor.
With her gentle appearance and comforting personality, Suna became more attentive to Sehee’s family circumstances and started taking care of her more meticulously.
Like an older sister, she helped Sehee adapt to the company without any discomfort.
Even during the situation with Hyojun, she was the only person who sided with Sehee.
“If not me, who will take care of you?”
As if dismissing any other objections, Suna tapped Sehee’s shoulder.
“How could you not contact me once during the month of your vacation? I was worried when I called you during Cha Hyojun’s wedding, and you didn’t answer. Do you know how anxious I was that day? What if you hadn’t contacted me this time? What would have happened?”
Suna glanced at Sehee with a slightly hurt expression.
“I’m sorry. That day, I… something special happened.”
Sehee gave a faint smile.
“Dear, shouldn’t you see a doctor? Psychological shock lasts longer than you think. What’s the term these days? Post-traumatic stress disorder, that’s it.”
Suna emphasized, raising an eyebrow.
“It’s not that severe. Manager Kim came all this way, and it’s really okay. I’ll cook the porridge well, so please go back. Assistant Manager Park must be waiting.”
Sehee and Suna were acquainted with Assistant Manager Park, Suna’s husband, who was once a famous company couple.
“Our husband? He’s not in Seoul. He’s been dispatched. Did I forget to mention that?”
Suna took out kitchen utensils for food preparation.
“Dispatched?”
Sehee asked with a surprised expression.
“Yeah. I made a slight mistake with that scheming Yoon Yeri and got sent straight to Samcheok Hotel.”
Manager Kim made a bitter expression.
“Do you have no idea about the atmosphere at the company these days? There have been tremendous changes in the past month.”
At that moment, the officetel doorbell rang.
The groceries Suna had ordered had arrived.
“It’s a good thing. These kinds of stories are best told over a can of beer.”
“Okay. It’s been a long time since I had a drink with Manager Kim.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Patients can’t! I bought it just for myself to drink.”
Suna glared at Sehee playfully.
“Ah, I fainted because I couldn’t eat. I have to eat anything, right?”
Sehee said casually.
“…Something doesn’t seem right. Let’s pass on that for now.”
Suna looked at Sehee with a teasing expression.
“Well, since you’re here, it’s alright. Together with Assistant Manager Park. You’ve endured a lot alone. So let’s enjoy a meal and a drink together.”
With Suna by her side, Sehee’s burdened heart felt a bit lighter.
“Now, the menu is vegetable porridge and conch salad. How about that?”
“Beer and conch salad are the best.”
Answering Suna’s question, Sehee raised her thumb and approached the kitchen.
“As for you, it’s vegetable porridge. And go sit on the sofa or lie on the bed right away. When everything’s ready, should I call you?”
Suna spoke with a worried expression.
“You’re a guest in our house; you shouldn’t be doing this.”
“You’re not a guest; you’re family. Just come in.”
In the end, Suna shooed Sehee away and quickly prepared the porridge and delicious side dishes for her to eat.
After setting the table nicely, Suna called Sehee.
“I’ll enjoy this.”
Sehee took a spoonful of the vegetable porridge with rising steam.
The light and savory taste spread in her mouth.
It was a taste that conveyed Suna’s sincerity even to her heart.
“It’s so delicious.”
Sehee, on the verge of tears, quickly lowered her head.
“I’ll make another pot. Eat it all before you go to work.”
“…Yes.”
Sehee’s voice became quieter, almost choked with emotion.
Sehee quickly finished the vegetable porridge.
In the meantime, Suna coolly emptied several cans of beer.
“So, does Assistant Manager Park only come on weekends?”
Sehee, who had a long dating period but was recently married, was concerned about Suna.
“Yeah. He comes on Friday evenings and goes back on Monday mornings.”
“It must be tough.”
“Don’t worry. Being a weekend couple seems to suit us fine. Maybe it’s even hotter?”
Suna laughed suggestively.
“We had a long dating period, so we can endure it. If our dating period were short and our honeymoon passionate, we might have died.”
Suna put a new can of beer into her mouth.
“The company has changed a lot these days.”
As if trying to bring up a heavy topic, Suna’s expression darkened.
“What’s happening at the hotel?”
Sehee wasn’t paying much attention to hotel affairs.
“They keep urgently reporting it on the news. Hey, hey, you really don’t know. Our company is being sold.”
“S-Sold?”
Sehee’s eyes widened in surprise.
Due to embezzlement by the owner’s family, the hotel’s finances became shaky, and shareholders rose up, eventually leading to the decision to sell.

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.”
