Entering KK Hotel, Ihyeon handed the car to the valet and headed to the lobby.
‘Of all places, why here?’
KK Hotel was the exact place where she had spent a passionate time with Ihyeon.
‘It can’t be intentional.’
There were plenty of other hotels and dining places closer to the office. Why choose this specific location?
Unable to comprehend Ihyeon’s intentions, Yerin quickly followed him.
As they waited for the elevator, Ihyeon turned and looked intently at Yerin.
“Why do you think I came here, Secretary Han?”
“I don’t know.”
“I met that woman here.”
“……”
As the elevator arrived, they both stepped in.
The absence of other passengers made the atmosphere more intense, reminding her of that night.
The proximity in the elevator made them feel each other’s body heat, just like that night.
Memories of that night brought back a flood of sensations and thoughts.
She had learned then that those cold eyes could harbor such intense desire, and that mouth, usually so cold, could speak such tender words.
Ding!
The elevator arrived at the rooftop restaurant.
“Here is…”
It was the very place where she and Ihyeon first met.
Feeling tense in the familiar setting, Yerin noticed Ihyeon looking at her with interest.
“Have you been here before?”
“No.”
Lying felt so difficult.
Yerin tried to act nonchalant and exited the elevator first.
Behind her, Ihyeon’s gaze followed her steadily.
As they walked into the rooftop, Yerin tensed her legs.
Then, stumbling on something, she nearly fell.
‘It would be so embarrassing to fall here.’
Just then, expecting to hit the cold floor, she felt a warm grip around her waist.
And a very familiar scent brushed past her nose.
‘Could it be…’
Yerin slowly lifted her eyelids.
As expected, Ihyeon’s sculpted face was right in front of her.
“Director?”
Ihyeon held her waist, looking at her with inscrutable black eyes.
Thump-thump…
Her heart began to beat wildly.
Was it the proximity, or perhaps the familiar scent emanating from him?
The night they spent together came naturally to her mind.
“How can you be so beautiful?”
“Can’t take my eyes off you.”
“It’s your doing that made me this way, you should take responsibility.”
Ihyeon’s soft whispers from that night seemed to echo in her ears.
Unknowingly, Yerin tightly closed her eyes.
Though it was just for one night, it was an unforgettable day for her too.
Regaining her composure, she slowly opened her eyes.
Ihyeon was still gazing at her with his intense eyes.
“Director, you should let go…”
“Secretary Han, no matter how much I think about it, I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before.”
It was that question again.
Yerin pushed Ihyeon away, straightening herself.
“I’m sure we might have crossed paths at the company…”
“No. I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere else.”
“……”
Her heart began racing wildly at Ihyeon’s words.
Yerin dropped her head to hide her trembling eyes.
Thankfully, it seemed more like a probing statement than a definitive claim.
‘He must be mistaking me for someone else…’
So she had to be more assertive in her response.
Without making eye contact with Ihyeon, Yerin spoke.
“I have a common face, so I often hear that.”
No response came back.
As she wondered what to say if he continued to press, Ihyeon finally spoke.
“If Secretary Han says so, it must be true.”
Ihyeon left the spot as if he had no more lingering doubts.
Sighing deeply, Yerin headed back into the rooftop restaurant.
As she entered, the completely different table arrangement caught her eye instantly.
The staff led them to a corner table.
‘Of all places, it had to be the same spot where I shared champagne with the director.’
It might have been a coincidence, but even such minor details made her senses tingle.
Just standing near the table, Ihyeon, seated, called her with his pleasant baritone.
“What are you waiting for? Come here.”
His lips lazily curved up, reminiscent of how he had seduced her that night.
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.”
