“You’re not overdoing it, are you?”
“No, I’m fine.”
“Aren’t you curious about this woman?”
Unable to confess he already knew who she was, Na-ri just awkwardly smiled.
“Yes, very curious.”
“I hope Secretary Han finds her.”
Secretary Choi expressed a fervent wish to save his love-stricken boss.
“What if the woman hides really well? Wouldn’t Secretary Han be helpless?”
Wanting to defend Yerin in any way, Na-ri cautiously broached the subject. Secretary Choi looked as if he had experienced a personal rejection.
“Ah, if that happens, the atmosphere in Director Cha’s office will be really down.”
“Is that so?”
It was a frustrating and helpless reality.
Early morning, Yerin stood in front of Ihyeon’s house, bathed in the faint dawn light.
Ding-dong
She pressed the doorbell, but no response came.
“Ah.”
Last night, Secretary Choi had insisted she wake Ihyeon up personally. He wouldn’t answer calls in the morning and slept so deeply he wouldn’t know if he was being carried away.
There was an important breakfast meeting with the Jaeseok Group family that day. Secretary Choi stressed that being late was not an option.
Yerin pressed the doorbell again, took a deep breath, and searched her messages for the door lock code Secretary Choi had provided.
Entering the code, she cautiously opened the penthouse door.
Inside, Ihyeon’s neatly arranged shoes greeted her. She removed her high heels, placing them neatly, and stepped into his house.
“Director?”
She called his name as she passed the spacious living room, but, as expected, no answer.
The hallway displayed paintings by unknown artists, likely worth millions.
Recalling what Secretary Choi had told her the night before, Yerin headed to the room at the end of the villa.
Through the slightly open door, she could see the bed but no movement. Outside the bedroom, Yerin called again.
“Director Cha Ihyeon.”
Hoping calling his name would wake him, but there was no response.
“He’s not up yet, right?”
Wishing he was awake but knowing it unlikely, she continued.
“I’m coming in.”
She knew he was deeply asleep and wouldn’t hear her, but it was a matter of politeness.
Yerin opened the bedroom door and quickly shut her eyes tight.
She had caught a glimpse of an apricot-colored feast on the bed.
‘Surely he’s not sleeping naked.’
She slowly lifted her eyelids.
Regrettably, Ihyeon was indeed lying with nothing covering his upper body.
Fortunately, he was lying on his side, and a blanket precariously covered his waist.
“Phew.”
Yerin approached the bed.
Looking at his broad back covered in muscles, she remembered being held in his embrace.
‘It’s not just Director who remembers that night.’
She swallowed the words, keeping them inside.
She, too, hadn’t forgotten any moment of that delightful time spent with Ihyeon.
Yerin stealthily looked at his peacefully sleeping face.
His sharp nose was particularly striking.
Truly a flawless, perfect face.
She gazed at his slightly parted lips, then quickly regained her composure, reminding herself of the reason for her visit.
Checking the clock, she realized she had to get everything ready and leave within 30 minutes.
Yerin reached out with her hand to the blanket, pinching it between her index finger and thumb, then pulled it up to cover Ihyeon’s exposed body completely.
Phew.
Once his bare muscles were covered, Yerin’s heart returned to a normal rhythm.
“Director, you need to wake up.”
Even after raising her voice, there was no response from Ihyeon.
“If the Director doesn’t wake up, you can shake him or poke him with something.”
Secretary Choi had mentioned this as a helpful tip.
But Yerin couldn’t bring herself to touch his muscular arm, so she quickly scanned the room.
A tumbler with water, some documents, a tablet PC, and books.
All were too hard, likely to hurt Ihyeon if used to poke him.
Yerin’s eyes then fell on something on the floor.
“Yes, this will be best.”
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.”
