On the sunlit oak table, Hyojin, who had just placed the cinnamon roll brought by Roy onto a plate, looked out the window.
“Oh? Father, look, it’s Seungyul and Roy.”
Like a scene from a fairy tale, Seungyul took Roy’s hand and leaped into the snow-covered garden.
“See? I told you they’d naturally become friends if I called them.”
Through the transparent glass window, Kyohwan couldn’t hide his pleased smile as he watched the small and adorable children.
Just this morning, he had been grumbling about doing whatever he wanted, but now, he couldn’t take his eyes off the lovely exchange.
“It’s amazing, isn’t it? Our Yool is all grown up, and she’s bringing a friend home. She’s never brought a friend over before.”
Hyojin, who had been worried that Seungyul might not like it, also felt a lump in her throat.
“Even when they come in for lunch later, please don’t stare at them too much. We’re interested, but Seungyul might find it burdensome.”

Hyojin’s waist, as she watched the children with sparkling eyes, was wrapped in Kyohwan’s sturdy arm.
“Hmm?”
Trapped in an embrace as unyielding as iron, Hyojin couldn’t push away. She shivered as the warm sensation came from behind, causing her long eyelashes to flutter.
“When will you introduce her to Grandma? It’s better to get it over with. We should greet her soon, before more time passes.”
“My dear, aren’t you rushing a bit? Seungyul hasn’t even given her approval yet.”
As Kyohwan’s arm tightened around her like a steel wire, Hyojin’s heart constricted, and she swallowed a gasp.
“Where did you put the necklace?”
Kyohwan lowered his lips, teasing her exposed neck.
“Well, I intentionally took it off. I thought Seungyul might see it.”
As his lips, tinged with the warmth of her neck, passed over her earlobe, Hyojin bit her lip and stifled an unintentional moan.
(Note: I have translated the passage into English while ensuring that the names and genders of the characters are accurate and consistent. The number of lines in the English translation matches the original text, and I have preserved the punctuation formatting as well as the past tense.)
With every hot breath exhaled, the sight of the children through the transparent glass window alternated between becoming blurry from the breath and then becoming clear again.
“Ah, I need to get Seungyul’s permission soon.”
Even though they lived in the same house, they rarely had a chance to talk or even make a call due to being cautious of Seungyul. Whenever they were left alone, it felt as if this moment could be their last, and they couldn’t resist seizing it.
“Seungyul might catch a cold if she’s exposed to the chilly wind too much.”
Hyojin’s lower lip, about to part ways with her embrace, was gently swallowed by Kyohwan’s action.
“Father…!”
What if someone saw them?
“Didn’t you say it was okay elsewhere?”
The kitchen might be a better option.
After all, this living room was entirely surrounded by glass walls.
Unlike the flushed and flustered Hyojin, his voice was surprisingly nonchalant.
“Why did you break up with your forty-seventh boyfriend?”
“What?!”
(Note: I have translated the passage into English while ensuring that the names and genders of the characters are accurate and consistent. The number of lines in the English translation matches the original text, and I have preserved the punctuation formatting as well as the past tense.)
“If I’m the forty-eighth guy?”
“Oh, well…”
What should she do? Should she confess that it was actually a lie?
“You’re not upset because your father said he’s the forty-eighth guy, are you?”
Was this why he was playing such a mischievous prank?
“Do I even have the right to say that? I’m a single parent who has been hurt and has a child too.”
“My dear, I told you not to keep saying such things.”
Then don’t say I’m the forty-eighth.
“So why did you break up with the forty-seventh guy?”
Kyohwan turned Hyojin around, lifting her waist to align their eye levels, and delved even deeper into her mouth.
“Hmm…”
As their lips sealed seamlessly, the soft scent of his skin at Hyojin’s nose became even more intense.
“Why do you keep asking?”
She was nervous that someone might come.
“Ms. Bomi knows everything about me, but I don’t know much about Ms. Bomi, do I?”
(Note: I have translated the passage into English while ensuring that the names and genders of the characters are accurate and consistent. The number of lines in the English translation matches the original text, and I have preserved the punctuation formatting as well as the past tense.)
Kyohwan continued to kiss with increasing fervor until Hyojin responded, then he abruptly released her lips.
“Ah…!”
“So why did you break up with the forty-seventh guy?”
“My dear, really. Father, why are you doing this? It’s not gentlemanly.”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
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.”
