Hyo-jin, suppressing her pounding heart, looked at him slowly approaching.
“I want to start again with Teacher Bom.”
Exchange, with neatly exposed teeth, smiled, and his hair gently fluttered in the wind.
“What?”
What is this?
Closing the distance, Exchange took out a velvet box containing a ring from his pocket and showed it to Hyo-jin.
“Ah…!”
Inside was the couple ring they had seen last time.
“I ordered this ring and found out at Grandma’s store when I went to visit.”
That you are the daughter of the driver who caused the accident.
“I was planning to propose if Seung-yul allowed it.”
Who knew it would take this long?
“If it’s not too late now, I want to tell Teacher Bong about it.”
Exchange looked at Hyo-jin with a blush on both cheeks, a marked on each cheek.
“Until now, Teacher Bong only held out his hand, and I’ve never reached out first.”
Even when starting a new-found love, it was always Hyo-jin who kissed first.
“My time stopped eight years ago when my wife died in an accident.”
As time passed, and seasons changed, I felt no excitement.
“But since I met you, I began to feel the passage of time again.”
I started looking forward to a warm spring during the cold winter and waiting for after-work hours and holidays.
“I’m sorry for making you wait for so long.”
Even though I stumbled and wandered, I could reach here because of the light called you.
“I will repay you for the difficult times you’ve had because of me.”
Hyo-jin looked down at Exchange, who was gently putting the ring on her finger, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Exchange, who put the ring on her finger, gently kissed her hand, looking into Hyo-jin’s eyes filled with shyness.
“Will you marry me?”
Instead of answering, Hyo-jin wrapped her arms around Exchange’s waist and tightly hugged his broad, tree-like back.
Only after being embraced in his arms could she realize how much she had missed and longed for this moment.
Exchange’s scent and body temperature, even the voice that called her ‘Teacher Bom’ since falling in love, all came back to her now.
“Your smell, your voice… everything. I missed them all.”
“I’m so happy.”
I never expected that my father would reach out to me first.
“I actually waited for it.”
Do you know the feeling of having to endure, even promising not to like you, just to avoid being rejected?
“Thank you. I won’t make you wait again.”
With his thumb, Exchange wiped away the tears in Hyo-jin’s eyes, and gently, he tasted the soft lower lip.
As he slowly parted his lips, feeling the velvety mucosa, Hyo-jin felt a dizzying sensation as if her feet were slipping from under her.
“Thank you, I won’t make you wait again.”
With his thumb, Exchange wiped away the tears in Hyo-jin’s eyes, and gently, he tasted the soft lower lip.
As he slowly parted his lips, feeling the velvety mucosa, Hyo-jin felt a dizzying sensation as if her feet were slipping from under her.
Exchange, pushing his finger between hers, firmly clasped the fingers with a ring and etched his presence even deeper.
As if to promise never to let go of this hand again.
“Now, shall we go and greet Grandma?”
Finally mustering courage, Exchange parted his lips.
“Yes.”
Hyo-jin nodded brightly, wiping away the tears with a clean face.
Exchange, finding her smile adorable, rubbed his lips again until the jade sound echoed and shifted his steps.
“Now, let’s go for real.”
“For now, wait here. I’ll go inside and check the situation and come back.”
Hyo-jin, who had positioned Exchange by the dark stairs, walked stealthily toward the door.
But suddenly, before reaching the destination, the door opened from the inside.
“What are you doing there? If you came, come in quickly!”
Soon-hye, who had already seen everything, from kissing on the street through the window, scolded with a loud voice.
“Hello, Grandma.”
Since it had come to this.
Exchange, with a poker face, welcomed Soon-hye, intending to bring her in and bow politely.
“Where’s your son?”
“Huh?”
Soon-hye looked at Exchange, who was trying to bow but standing awkwardly.
“You came with just the two of you without bringing your son?”
“Oh, for now, I thought it was the right order to get permission from Grandma.”
She might not be able to say what she wants in front of a child.
“But if we leave the child alone and just go out together, what if? It’s going to be our future family. If the child feels resentful, won’t that resentment go to our Hyo-jin?”
“Oh, should I bring him now then?”
Just call the driver and tell him to bring the child right away.
“For now, sit down since you’ve come this far.”
Why is she saying this and that?
Exchange, who had been standing ready to bow, knelt down and straightforwardly said,
“We have decided to love each other again. Please allow us.”
Facing Soon-hye with a face ready for death.
“What are you talking about? You told me it was nothing between you and my sister.”
Hwang-sae, who didn’t even know she was behind, fluffed her feathers, blocking Soon-hye with a naive look.

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.”
