After work, as soon as Serin opened the revolving door of the building, she could see Taehoon waiting for her.
Despite the attention being drawn to his handsome appearance from all around, she no longer cared. After confessing their relationship to Chairman Baek, there was nothing left to hide or fear.
Seeing her bright smile, Taehoon’s lips curled up as well.
“What’s up? Did something good happen? You’re smiling so brightly today.”
“Not a bad mood. My runaway husband is back.”
Taehoon burst into laughter at her joke. Looking at his refreshing face, it felt like all the stress that had accumulated throughout the day disappeared in an instant.
“Let’s go.”
“But where are we going?”
“Well, let’s watch a movie we missed last time and have dinner. What should we do first?”
“If you’re hungry, let’s eat first. Otherwise, the movie.”
“Okay, then I’ll go with the movie.”
Serin nodded coolly and got into the car. As he got into the driver’s seat, Taehoon casually dropped a bombshell.
“I told Chairman Baek everything. We officially registered our marriage. And after the regular shareholders’ meeting, we’ll have a wedding.”
For a moment, he looked back at her.
“Is it okay to spill everything like that?”
“Well, it’s not a lie. It was something we had to talk about someday. Anyway, Chairman Baek… He’s like a little father to me.”
“True. As long as you’re not uncomfortable. And, actually, I prefer it that way. Now that you’ve talked about it, I don’t have to hide that Baek Serin is my wife, right? In fact, I’ve been itching to brag about it for a while.”
Another burst of laughter followed. It was remarkable that such a trivial remark could make them laugh like this; Serin found herself laughing too often. It was a change she could feel in herself.
“Well then, let’s go.”
Taehoon gently pressed the accelerator, setting the car in motion. However, not long after, Serin’s phone rang. She took her phone out of her handbag, checked the caller ID, and informed Taehoon.
“It’s Mom.”
“Okay.”
“Hello?”
[Serin, did you finish work?]“Yes. I’m on my way home now.”
[Oh, I see. I’ve prepared your favorite pickled radish kimchi. Come and get some.]“Oh, really? Since I’m with Taehoon right now, I’ll come by sometime this week.”
[Oh, Taehoon is there? Didn’t he say he was going on a business trip to New York?]“He actually told you about that too?”
[Yes. He came with such a serious expression and asked me to take good care of you. I thought he was going on a long business trip. Thank goodness. I was so worried, not knowing what was happening between you two.]Listening to Mrs. Park’s words, Serin glanced at Taehoon beside her. He had gone so far as to advertise his runaway, even to Mrs. Park.
Seeing Taehoon, who was a definite presence wherever he went, Serin found it too cute and burst into laughter.
“It’s not like that. Don’t worry. And this week, I’ll visit my hometown with Taehoon.”
[No, there are many eyes watching. Perhaps not? Maybe your little father planted someone here. So, when I have time, I’ll visit, or I’ll hire someone to bring them to your house.]
“No need for that. I’ve already told the little father about Taehoon.”
[He… Really?]Mrs. Park was also taken aback and couldn’t follow the conversation properly.
“You’re eating well, right?”
[Sure. I know you see me through the housekeeper. You use that to threaten me. If I don’t eat, you’ll tell on me. Am I a child?]“That’s right. Not a child, so why do you throw a fit about side dishes so easily?”
[I didn’t! Who said that?]“Anyway, I’ll visit this weekend. While you have kimchi, please make radish kimchi soup.”
[Sure, let’s do that. By then, the radish kimchi should be properly fermented. See you then.]“Yes.”
Listening to Mrs. Park’s excited voice as she mentioned visiting over the weekend, Serin looked at Taehoon, who was driving.
“Did you tell my new mother to take care of me while you’re on a business trip to New York?”
“Oh, that. Yeah, I did. Leaving, I felt uneasy thinking about who might bother you. There was no one else coming to mind except your mother. Still, I don’t have anyone else but your mother to take care of you without any ulterior motives, right?”
Unable to deny that, Serin nodded approvingly. Despite being an unrelated mother, Mrs. Park was the only person who would take care of her without any hidden agenda.
However, at that moment, her phone rang again.
“Is it your mother?”
“No, Director Park. Yeah, what’s up? Director Park?”
Even though she had already finished work, Serin couldn’t ignore Director Park’s call, and eventually, she answered the phone. Then her expression began to change in real-time. Taehoon instinctively sensed that it was not good news.
Sure enough, after ending the call, Serin unexpectedly asked Taehoon to take her to the emergency room at Hanjin Hospital.
“We might need to postpone our date. Let’s go to the Hanjin Hospital emergency room right away.”
He turned the steering wheel without a word.
Still, as a married couple, it’s really difficult to have a date.
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.”
