Is it because I talked about Dad that his feelings changed?
So, did he drink only alcohol because he couldn’t give me the ring?
Hyojin could find out for sure if she tried on the ring, but for some reason, it felt like opening Pandora’s box, so she closed the box without trying it on.
His sleeping figure looked far from the appearance of a man happily preparing for a proposal.
What could be so difficult that he shows an expression even when sleeping?
Even when sleeping, you should sleep comfortably. What is he thinking?
Come to think of it, his face looks paler than before.
“Dad. Is there something difficult? If it’s hard, talk to me honestly. Dad told me to talk about anything difficult, so why are you going through this alone? Love is something done together.”
Hyojin, who was looking sadly at the sleeping Exchange, carefully put the box with the ring into his jacket pocket.
“…Sein.”

…!
At the voice that fell from above her forehead, Hyojin widened her eyes.
“Sein, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”
Hyojin, startled, looked up at Exchange calling his wife’s name while blocking his open mouth with his hands.
In case he finds out that the person next to him is me.
I couldn’t even hear my heartbeat, trying to keep my body as far away as possible and couldn’t even make a sound.
So, he drank alone to the point of losing consciousness, even though he told me to come. Foolish.
I said it’s okay not to get married. It’s okay not to become Sein’s mother.
Just knowing that Dad loves me is enough.
But why?

Hyojin felt even more confused because it seemed that all his suffering was because of her.
‘Dad. You don’t have to do anything for me. I’m fine as long as I’m with you like this.’
Even if he thinks I’m his deceased wife now.
‘Good night. My love.’
Hyojin gently smoothed out the furrowed brow with her fingers and softly kissed his forehead goodnight.
The early morning was tinted with a blue dawn through the window. Exchange, who woke up earlier than usual due to the hangover, opened his eyes.
“Are you awake?”
The husky voice of the male team leader deepened the double eyelids of Exchange, who had just woken up.
“How does Nam Team Leader think of this?”
“Is your stomach okay?”
Nam Team Leader opened the lid of the hangover reliever brought from the convenience store and handed it over.

“Ms. Bong called. She intended to be with Dad, but said she had to go in because of Grandma.”
“Ms. Bong?”
He was clearly sent back home.
Did she come back without going home?
“But what’s the matter?”
Nam Team Leader watched Exchange, who got up after crushing the empty drink bottle into the trash can.
“Is it something I shouldn’t know?”
Although they had been together for a long time, this time, Nam Team Leader couldn’t figure out why he was acting like this.
“Let’s talk later.”
If she needs to know the reason, Hyojin will be the one to talk first, not Nam Team Leader.

“Have you talked to Ms. Bong?”
The head butler, who was preparing breakfast at the dining table, pushed aside the maids around and approached Jihyun.
“Yes. I called in the morning and asked, and Mr. Chairman said he gave you a day off.”
It’s really strange. Why did he suddenly take a day off? When will he become accustomed to it and spread rumors around the neighborhood?
“It seems that Master Seungyul strongly opposes.”
“Seungyul?”
“Yes. I heard Master Seungyul crying from the annex. He said he didn’t want you to become his mom even if he died.”
“Huh, now you seem to have come to your senses. Seeing him come out saying let’s take time to think, it seems that his mind has finally returned.”
Of course. Even if I don’t listen to what Emi says, I can’t ignore what my child says.
From Jihyun’s perspective, it was almost the same as cutting it off without dirtying his hands.

That afternoon.
Department store VIP lounge.
“Oh my, hello, Mom.”
Jihyun looked up from drinking green tea in a ceramic cup, looking at the clothes brought by the free personal shopper.
“Mom, how have you been?”
Hannah rushed over as if she would embrace her right away.
“What brings you here?”
Jihyun put down the teacup, looking embarrassed.
“I came here to shop. This is a sponsorship from our broadcasting company, right?”
“Oh, is that so?”

Actually, she knew, but why did they happen to run into each other at this time?
“I’m really sorry for last time, Mom.”
Hannah grabbed Jihyun, who was trying to get up, in a sharp manner.
“I haven’t talked to Dad since that day. How could Dad do that to my brother?”
Unable to endure for her daughter’s sake, rather than keeping her excuse, she raised her hand to her brother’s cheek.
“But Mom, did you know that?”
Hannah, who was clinging like a barnacle, opened her mouth as if throwing a bait.
“Seungyul has a home tutor.”
Although she usually tried to ignore it, Jihyun raised her voice sharply at Hannah’s words.
“You, have you been investigating our house?”

“Ah, no. Investigating? No.”
Hannah, who felt the sting of Jihyun’s gaze, forced a forced smile with her mouth twisted.
“I had a meeting a while ago, so I went to the hotel. Ms. Bong was watching the line there.”
“What?”
Ms. Bong was watching the line? After saying that she went on vacation, is she secretly watching the line without my son knowing?
Jihyun’s eyelids, tightly closed, shook with anger.
“But, what’s more surprising is, Mom.”
“…?”
“That home tutor has a father, you know.”
…!

Whisper, whisper. Jihyun’s pupils, hearing Hannah’s story, were dyed with shock.
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.”
