Weekend afternoon.
Minhyung, who had been drinking and partying until dawn, finally woke up with a splitting headache. Next to him, a woman lay naked, as if lifeless.
Due to the hazy memories caused by excessive drinking, Minhyung couldn’t even remember who the woman was. He brushed aside her brown hair that covered her face, and only then did he recognize her.
“Oh, surprise. Damn it!”
Startled and taken aback, he involuntarily let out a bitter curse.
She was none other than Seo Jiwon, a former CF star. However, she had fallen from grace in an instant due to a drug scandal, becoming a has-been celebrity.
Of course, even so, her full bosom obtained with the help of surgery and her convincing appearance remained unchanged, but Minhyung didn’t find her particularly attractive.
It was all because of that damn Baek Seorin. No matter which woman he met, he always ended up comparing them to Baek Seorin.
This woman laughed more than Baek Seorin and talked way too much compared to her. To Jo Minhyung, Baek Seorin had become the standard of his life.
In that sense, Seo Jiwon was far from being comparable to Baek Seorin.
Intellectual conversations were simply impossible. Only physical conversations were possible.
“Um… Oppa, are you awake? What time is it now?” Jiwon asked, but Minhyung got out of bed without answering and put on a robe.

Then he came to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water, and drank it without hesitation.
The cold water scratched his dry throat refreshingly, and as he went downstairs, it seemed like his senses were finally coming back. Then the hellish sense of reality rushed over him once again.
[Dash] Get a hold of yourself. Baek Seorin is a no-go. Don’t stimulate that nerve any longer. [Dash] But Father… [Dash] Do you think she’ll accept you after what you did? You fool.When he expressed his intention to marry Seorin, Chairman Jo responded with unexpected firmness.
It was a situation that was not typical of his father, who had always been on his side.
But the limits of what one cannot have can ignite insane desires.
He had never once been denied something he wanted. Therefore, the elusive Baek Seorin had taken root as an obsessive fixation.
If he couldn’t rely on Chairman Jo’s power, then he would have to obtain her through his own means.
So, what could he do to possess Baek Seorin?

In a moment, the face of Taejoon, who had humiliated him, flashed through his mind.
“If I can just break them apart…”
That’s right. If Taejun and Seorin can be separated, everything will be resolved. When the relationship falls apart, Taejun will have no reason to stand by Seorin’s side, turning today’s lovers into tomorrow’s enemies.
But that’s not all.
He could seize the opportunity that had opened up like this. No matter how much of a Baek Seorin she might be, she couldn’t be without some emotional impact from parting with her lover.
Could he take advantage of her weakened state to radiate his charm?
The problem is how to undermine Taejun and Seorin’s relationship!
At that moment, he saw Seo Ji Won, who came in and out of the room in her naked body.
No matter how intimate they had been, her shameless appearance left an impression on him.
Irritation was about to rise, but suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
Maybe separating the two of them might be surprisingly easy.
After all, conflicts between men and women often start from the most basic principles.

As he finished his calculations, Seo Ji Won suddenly looked pretty to him.
“Jiwon! Our Jiwon, are you hungry?”
Baek Seorin.
She always got what she wanted.
By any means necessary, they had to, without fail.
At that moment, Tae Joon and Seo Rin, as agreed, left their home late in the afternoon to visit Chairman Baek.
However, the thought of revisiting the place where their father was buried weighed heavily on Seo Rin’s heart.
Perhaps it was due to guilt.
During the funeral, she bit her lip to keep from shedding a single tear, determined not to show any vulnerability to the enemy.
And how much did she resent her departed father during those moments of endurance?
More than her departed father, Seo Rin felt the precariousness of her own situation, which fueled her determination.
She had never once considered her father’s perspective. In the week leading up to his passing, even as he repeatedly lost consciousness and regained it, each time he opened his eyes, he seemed to be looking for her, to the point of being bothersome.

She could never have imagined that it was a form of affection directed at her.
“What are you thinking?”
Bitterness seemed to pervade her face as she recalled her father’s final moments. Tae Joon inquired without brushing it aside.
“Just… various things. But, Tae Joon, did our father really leave such a message? Asking you to protect me?”
“Yeah, actually, when you think about it, the stocks I have were also a request from the chairman.”
“Our father?”

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.
