Taehee slowly shifted her gaze to Manager Kang.
In the silent, chilly gaze from Manager Kang, she nervously clasped her hands together.
“I’m sorry, Manager. I’ve received so much from your significant other. Thanks for reserving a beef restaurant near the office for lunch today. So, on behalf of the department, I will take care of the bill!”
Taehee had no particular thoughts on what to say to Manager Kang. Her team members probably thought of her separation from Sajun as some kind of event they were unaware of, so what could she say?
“Then, have a good time, both of you!”
After Manager Kang disappeared, Taehee sat across from Sajun.
With a calm gaze, beyond the long eyelashes, she quietly observed Sajun.
The fine black hair that lightly fluttered on his forehead, the strong and intense eyes beneath, the manly, slightly raised nose, and the attractive red lips below.
He still looked slick and sophisticated, making something warm well up abnormally in her chest.
I waited for you so much, how anxious, fearful, and difficult it was, thinking you might not come.
Although she wanted to blame, resent, and vent her frustration about why he came so late, it wasn’t the right time yet.
Sajun came to meet her, and he really came, so now it was the beginning.
Therefore, she had to act nonchalant, as if everything was fine, but that wasn’t easy.
Her gaze trembled, and her heart pounded abnormally.
Sajun, drinking a refreshing Americano and crunching on the ice, also looked at Taehee.
With a persistent gaze, as if he would catch every detail, as if he would see everything, as if he promised to see everything.
Then, he slightly frowned and broke the silence.
“Why is your face like that?”
Why is my face like what? Unconsciously, Taehee covered her cheek with her hand.
Was my makeup erased too much, did my dark circles show, or does it look like my lipstick is gone, making me appear pale?
While thinking various thoughts, as Taehee blinked her eyes, Sajun spoke again in a rough tone.
“Why is your face like that.”
A man who is so in love, what does that mean?
“You’ve lost weight, your face is pale, and your expression is dark. Meeting someone who came to see you feels unpleasant.”
With a long sigh, Sajun muttered as if adding, “I can’t let you go like this.”
Who asked you to let go, not to let go, please hold onto me. Although she wanted to say these words that rose up to her throat, Taehee swallowed them and opened her mouth, pretending to be nonchalant.
“Why did you come?”
“Yeah, why did I come?”
Looking at Taehee with an air of absurdity, Sajun turned the question back.
Gazing outside the window with a nonchalant expression, Sajun spoke again.
“You missed me, didn’t you.”
“…….”
“Even after putting on airs as if you didn’t care, like a stubborn b****.”
Unable to say anything, Taehee looked at Sajun with a bewildered expression. Sajun, who turned his gaze back to her, reached out his arm.
“Do you perform ancestral rites?”
He stabbed the topic and pushed the box on the table towards Taehee.
“You’re so fond of it that you’re willing to die for it, so why aren’t you eating?”
Whenever Taehee felt stressed, she used to eat macarons from Zeus Hotel’s bakery.
Looking at the macarons made her resent and hate Sajun even more.
It seemed like he was trying to smoothly move past with just a single word again.
However, no matter what Sajun did, they couldn’t return to being friends as before.
As much as she ardently waited, as much as she painfully missed him, twisted words spilled from her lips.
“Who asked you to buy this?”
“You should know what the child you’re so fond of likes and dislikes; even the picky Min Taehee’s preferences.”
By this point, Taehee wanted to ask Sajun.
Who exactly is this child that I’m so fond of?
Sighing deeply instead of eating the macaron, Taehee asked again.
“Did you really come here to give me this? Don’t you have anything to say to me?” “……. ”
“If you have nothing to say, just leave now.”
Although she spat out harsh words, she desperately hoped. Hoping he would silently accept and endure her petulant behavior, not leaving.
“Since I hate seeing you like this, just take this and leave.”
Suddenly, she pushed the macaron box towards Sajun.
There won’t be a second chance.
So tell me, Sajun.
Even if it’s not words of love, tell me your current feelings, the emotions you’re harboring.
Sajun, who stared blankly at the rejected macarons, rubbed his face with his large hand.
“There were many things I wanted to say.”
Muttering as if talking to himself, Sajun chuckled.
It was somehow a self-deprecating, childish smile.
“Seeing your face, I can’t say anything. What should I say when I see a face that looks like it’s about to collapse?”
“……. ”
“So, first eat. Or should I order something else for you?”
Sajun, silently enduring and tolerating Taehee’s whims, calmly asked.
Just that made Taehee’s eyes well up with tears.

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.”
