“Ji Seo Joon! Here! I’m here!”
I waved my arms wildly to announce my presence.
“What are you doing there?”
The students seemed flustered by the sudden appearance of the man. I took the opportunity to stand up from the ground and ran towards Ji Seo Joon.
“What? Lady, you had a boyfriend too?”
Two female students among the group blushed and whispered to each other upon noticing Ji Seo Joon.
Seeing this, the tall student scrunched his face and threw my wallet onto the ground.
That, even if it doesn’t look like it, is a designer wallet… A wallet I cherish so much…
Looking at my things and wallet rolling on the ground, it felt like tears were about to spill out.
“Were you being ripped off by high school students just now?”
Ji Seo Joon looked down at me with a pathetic gaze and asked.
“That is…”
I trailed off in embarrassment and Ji Seo Joon sighed deeply, turning his head towards the students.
“Aren’t you going to pick up the wallet?”
“What?”
Ji Seo Joon pointed at the wallet and told them to pick it up. A few boys chuckled and scoffed.
“Mister, take your lady and leave. Unless you want a scar on that pretty face.”
“Can’t you listen when I speak nicely? Students?”
The tall guy laughed maliciously, waving my smoothed out bills.
How can that face be a high school student’s. With a face looking older than Ji Seo Joon, he looked like a local thug in his 30s.
“Mister, do you want to play with us? You’re so handsome. Are you a model? Are you a model, mister?”
A girl wearing a short skirt threw flirtatious words at Ji Seo Joon.
Not only I and Ji Seo Joon, but all the male students except the girls blushed hard.
“It seems like words aren’t working here.”
Ji Seo Joon said.
Was he going to fight? Was Ji Seo Joon intending to fight with them?
No matter how good Ji Seo Joon was at sports, it seemed impossible for him to take on those students. I held onto his arm and shook my head frantically.
But Ji Seo Joon shook off the arm I was holding.
“I really like legal procedures. I don’t have to waste my energy, the police, lawyers, prosecutors, and judges will solve it.”
Ji Seo Joon dialed 112 on his phone and shook it to show the students.
This time, another student snorted and spoke to Ji Seo Joon.
“We’re still young, so we don’t get punished. Don’t you know the Juvenile Protection Act?”
“Sure. Even if you don’t get punished, at least your school and parents will be contacted. I achieve my goal just by bothering you. And look, can you see that CCTV?”
Ji Seo Joon gestured towards the CCTV at the entrance of the playground.
Then, he pressed the call button firmly.
“Is this the police station? A group of teenagers threatened an adult woman and stole money from her……”
As soon as Ji Seo Joon started contacting the police, the students began to waver.
“Hey. Let’s go. Go.”
One of them urged the others and they started moving.
“Ha! It’s disgusting.”
The student who had my money scattered the bills on the ground and followed the others out of the playground.
“Are you okay?”
As I was blankly staring at the disappearing students, Ji Seo Joon approached and asked.
“Ththe police? Are they coming?”
“Police? I didn’t report it.”
“What?”
“I didn’t report it because it seemed like they would just go if they got a little scared. If I report it to the police, it will only be a hassle for me.”
He then started picking up the bills scattered around me.
“What if they had started hitting you!”
“They didn’t look like they had that sort of guts. What now? Are you not going to pick these up?”
He wasn’t even scared.
These days, teenagers are so terrifying.
Had he lost all fear after going to America? Having lived in a country where threats were made with guns, I guess those kids looked cute to him.
I was flabbergasted, but when I thought that if Ji Seo Joon hadn’t been there, I might have been dragged off by those guys and forced to pay for their cigarettes, I began to tremble.
“Is this all from your bag?”
Looking at my belongings scattered haphazardly on the ground, Ji Seo Joon furrowed his brows. He rarely left his forehead relaxed, but considering there were no wrinkles, it must be because of his naturally good skin.
“Uh… Yes, they’re all mine.”
I crouched down and put each of my belongings back into my bag.
“Why are you putting trash back in!”
Ji Seo Joon, a cleanliness freak, frowned at me in shock.
“I’m, I’m going to throw it away.”
Ji Seo Joon, who was making such a fuss, was scarier than the students earlier. Did the students go far away? Don’t go. Come back.
Ji Seo Joon snatched the bag out of my hand as I was looking at the entrance to the playground.
He took my bag and rummaged through it, looking for trash.
“Aren’t you going to throw away the tissue you used to wipe your mouth in time?”
It wasn’t a tissue I used to wipe my mouth, but one I used to blow my nose. Ji Seo Joon found tissues, candy wrappers, receipts, etc., crumpled them up and handed them to me.
“Why. Just leave it in the bag.”
“Just put it back in the bag. When you see a trash can on your way home, put it in there.”

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

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.
