When she gave birth to her daughter, she wanted to hear those words desperately from her husband. Thank you for your hard work, and that’s why I’m grateful and will do well in the future.
But instead of hearing those words, Ok-hee lost her name and life. Even her own daughter.
But now, after 30 years, she never expected to hear those words from her son-in-law.
Ok-hee gently held Sa-jun’s hand, which was clenched tightly as if nervous, and said, “Sa-jun, you don’t have to be good to me. Just be a good husband to my daughter and a good father to my grandson. That’s enough for me.”
Sa-jun remained silent at Ok-hee’s words.
He would strive to be a good husband, but as for being a good father, he wasn’t sure.
Min Sun-tae was trash, and Yong-jin said he didn’t know. Both men never showed any actions that could be considered paternal love.
So, what about me? Do I have any feelings that could be called paternal love, or have I ever felt them?
While feeling the fetal movements and looking at Tae-hee’s swollen belly, realizing the existence of the child, it didn’t truly resonate with my heart.
A commendable presence that I now cherish dearly because of Min Tae-hee, a presence I almost lost forever. Even now, the baby was no more or less than that for Sa-jun. Nevertheless, such thoughts crossed my mind. Let’s try to be a better dad than Yong-jin, who is a father. If you don’t know, you can ask Min Tae-hee.
After a while, Sa-jun could finally respond to Ok-hee. “I’ll try.”
At that moment, screams that seemed to tear Tae-hee apart echoed from the delivery room. Sa-jun’s body reacted faster than his head to that sound.
Without waiting, Sa-jun forcefully opened the door to the delivery room, leaving Hee-gu, Yong-jin, and Ok-hee in confusion outside.
The doctors and nurses inside panicked, “You can’t come in!”
Despite their pleas, Sa-jun didn’t come out.
Hee-gu and Yong-jin stood helplessly in front of the delivery room door, not knowing what to do.
Ok-hee’s terrifying threat drove Sa-jun out of the delivery room. She threatened that if he didn’t leave immediately, she would file for divorce, and he would never see her again.
Chased by this threat, Sa-jun emerged from the delivery room.
What he saw with his own eyes in the delivery room was Tae-hee’s pale face, drenched in tears. What he heard with his own ears was the doctor’s explanation that labor was too prolonged, and the mother couldn’t push properly, along with Min Tae-hee’s threat.
Sa-jun, who came out with his broad shoulders slumped, made Hee-gu and Yong-jin burst into laughter.
“Haha, that guy is something.”
“Father, isn’t Sa-jun worse than me?”
“Both of you. I don’t like seeing a husband trembling in front of his wife.”
“You should speak properly. Still, I didn’t rush into the delivery room.”
Driven by the threat of his wife, Sa-jun was forced out of the delivery room.
Six hours of labor pain and an hour in the delivery room.
While Tae-hee was struggling with childbirth, Jin-won arrived at the hospital.
He delivered an urgent document to Sa-jun and brought a neatly folded dress shirt with a well-fitted three-piece suit with carefully ironed creases.
Sa-jun changed into the suit, neatly styled his hair with pomade, and none of the fatigue or disarray seen a moment ago could be found.
Even the loose tie that had become the company’s trademark now looked perfectly tight around his neck.
“I can’t understand why you changed your clothes in this situation.”
“Because Tae-hee likes it.”
Tae-hee had been curious and fond of Sa-jun, who was always clean and perfect.
“Why do you always have a good scent when it comes to you? So I keep wanting to hug you, touch you, smell you.”
Min Tae-hee, who used to snuggle and sniffle while smelling, was adorable. Of course, Tae-hee wouldn’t know. She wouldn’t know that Sa-jun put constant, invisible effort into looking handsome and clean, showering at every opportunity and changing into the same clothes several times a day. The habit Sa-jun developed when he met Min Tae-hee 14 years ago remains unchanged even now and will likely stay the same until he dies. Additionally, one habit he acquired recently because of Tae-hee was wearing suits.
“When you wear a suit, you look the coolest. I’m always thrilled.”
Sa-jun found himself wearing suits every time he tied a tie, a habit that Tae-hee had mentioned like a ritual.
Sa-jun headed to the delivery room, once again checking his tie and cufflinks.
Rather than feeling sorry for himself, who had endured the hardship along with Tae-hee during childbirth, he wanted to express that it was too difficult and painful, hoping she would let out her emotions freely.
Sa-jun left the room for exactly 10 minutes. When he arrived at the delivery room, a nurse came out holding a crying baby in her arms.
“He’s a healthy prince, weighing 3.4 kilograms. Congratulations to the mother for a healthy delivery.”
Upon hearing this, Sa-jun, ready to rush back into the delivery room, was stopped by the nurse.
“She fell asleep after giving birth. You must wait because she needs rest.”
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.”
