Gyo Hwan had still not found the clothes by the time Seung Yul finished his quick shower and came out wrapped in a towel.
It’s not like he had hidden them like in the story of the woodcutter and the fairy.
“Daddy, the clothes are here.”
Seung Yul pointed to the location of the closet as strictly as a supervisor ordering a slave.
“The underwear is in the bottom drawer.”
“Um, yes. Got it.”
Gyo Hwan, who didn’t even know where the child’s clothes were, took a tshirt out of the drawer with a slight sense of selfreproach.
“Daddy, that’s backwards.”
Seung Yul showed him the front and back of the tshirt he was holding.
“Sorry, it was too dark to see.”
Gyo Hwan turned on the light and immediately regretted it.
The red lines on the calf without pants made a giant scratch on Gyo Hwan’s already hurt heart.
“What about the bed?”
1 a.m.
Of course, he could wake up the housekeeper and ask her, but Gyo Hwan decided not to, considering the child’s selfesteem.
“Shall we sleep together?”
“With daddy?”
Seung Yul raised his eyebrows.
Hey, how can he sleep with daddy in the same bed? Gross.
“Let’s go. To daddy’s room.”
Gyo Hwan, who had picked up a pillow, approached, and Seung Yul hesitantly stepped back.
“Why?”
“I was going to carry you.”
Tch. He had told him to walk properly and not to be a baby when his legs hurt.
As if he didn’t need it, Seung Yul went ahead into his father’s room, climbed onto the pure white bed sheets, and sat crosslegged.
“Seung Yul, do you remember sleeping here with mommy?”
“With mommy?”
Gyo Hwan nodded and sat on the bed, looking into the round eyes of the child shining between his wet hair.
“When you were in mommy’s belly, daddy would lie down next to you, stroke the belly, and even read fairy tales.”
“Really? But why don’t you do anything now?”
“Huh?”
Gyo Hwan couldn’t say anything for a moment at the sight of the audacious eyes staring him down like a missile.
‘He was so good when mom was here.’
It seemed as though the child’s gaze was saying this. Even he, a top lawyer, couldn’t think of anything, his mind going blank.
“So, is that why you asked the teacher to be your mom? Without telling daddy?”
“I thought you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. I thought you would get angry if you heard at school that I was the child without a mom.”
Gyo Hwan, watching the child avoiding his gaze and brushing the rough sheet with the palm of his hand in a seemingly nonchalant manner, clenched his jaw with a surge of emotion.
“Um. I see.”
He had been strict with him, worrying that he might be spoiled in the hands of his grandmother.
He had no idea that such deep mistrust was built up towards him.
“From now on, always tell daddy. I will go with you.”
“It’s okay.”
“Why?”
He had bravely spoken his heart out, but when Gyo Hwan tried to express his gratitude, he was at a loss for words again.
“Daddy is busy.”
“……!”
“Grandma said you’re doing a very important job at the company, and I should understand.”
‘No matter how important your work is outside, when you come home, your job is to be Seung Yul’s daddy, not a lawyer.’
Stirred by Hyo Jin’s voice echoing in his ears, Gyo Hwan, whose fighting spirit rose, managed to force out words through his trembling throat.
“But I’m your daddy.”
“…….”
“No matter how busy, I can do that much for you.”
Seung Yul looked at Gyo Hwan as if something was strange.
“Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?”
He didn’t know how to react when his father, who always seemed to take someone else’s side, suddenly seemed ready to embrace everything.
Whenever it was time to say that you’re a very bad child.
“Why did you tell the doctor that daddy is not a bad person? If you resent me so much, why didn’t you tell the teacher to call the police?”
“I thought it would make mom sad.”
Seung Yul shrugged nonchalantly.
“Mom loved you and gave birth to me, wouldn’t she be sad in heaven if I reported you?”
Ha. Did you hear that, Se In? I told you that I can never let it go, thinking about our late mother. But he says he is tolerating it even if it’s miserable, thinking about mom.
I’m going crazy. Did I completely lose?
“Yul.”
Seung Yul looked up in surprise at the whispering voice that pierced his ears.
“Choi Seung Yul.”
It was the same name, but today, that name was so affectionate and lovely that it was embarrassing.
“Why?”
“Seung Yul. You’re a good kid.”
The one who made you like this was the bad one.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t even listen to you first. I won’t do it again from now on.”
As he gently brushed the sweetsmelling hair with his fingers, warm tears welled up in the child’s cold, black eyes, like a mirage.
“Shall we go to sleep now?”
The child, who seemed not to want to show his tears, turned his back and lay down on the bed, then turned his head as if he remembered something.
“But what about the teacher?”
“Why the teacher all of a sudden?”
“Don’t you have to apologize to the teacher as well? Because she was driven away because of me.”

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.”
