“Collected it from an unmanned locker at the subway station.”
The courier, proving his words, showed Do Jun the device with customer information.
Do Jun’s gaze deepened after examining it.
“The call came from a public phone, so it seems there’s nothing to gain there.”
“That’s right.”
“Well, I must be going.”
The courier left quickly.
Do Jun and Secretary Choi headed back to the office, Do Jun looking even more worried than before.
Secretary Choi asked cautiously.
“He’s meticulous.”
“Seems so.”
“What could he possibly want?”
Do Jun wondered the same.
By now, the sender of the mysterious photos should have revealed his intentions, but he only sent the photos and nothing more.
Secretary Choi followed Do Jun into the office with today’s delivered envelope.
“Shall we check the photos?”
“Let’s do that.”
“Do Jun, what does that mean?”
“Exactly what I said.”
Tae Yeon gripped her fist tightly, not wanting to lose the medicine.
Do Jun couldn’t stop laughing at her adorable action.
“You’re sweeter than any chocolate or candy.”
“…….”
“You don’t know?”
Tae Yeon’s lips slowly parted.
“Do Jun, these pills aren’t that big. Can’t I just take them all at once?”
Do Jun firmly shook his head.
“I’m not good at swallowing pills.”
Tae Yeon’s pupils trembled in dismay. Do Jun then loosened his grip on her waist.
She thought he might back off, but he didn’t.
“Fine. I don’t need to take the medicine.”
“Do Jun!”
“I guess I misunderstood your willingness to do anything.”
Reluctantly, Tae Yeon loosened her grip on the fistful of pills and extended them towards Do Jun.
“Take them, quickly.”
Do Jun glanced back and forth between the pills and Tae Yeon’s face.
“Can I?”
“Yes.”
“You’ve thought well.”
Do Jun took one of the small pills and swallowed it with water.
Then he closed the gap between them again.
“I didn’t say I would do anything more than kissing.”
“Just a moment, Do Jun.”
Tae Yeon pressed a hand against his firm chest, her trembling light brown eyes trying to maintain focus.
“What were you imagining?”
“Me?”
“Yes.”
“Do you want to hear?”
Tae Yeon swallowed hard. Remaining silent, Do Jun lazily curled his lips into a smile.
“You might be shocked.”
“Is it that scandalous?”
“Very. It’s so explicit you might run away.”
“…….”
“Of course, I would catch you.”
She was curious, but she feared that asking Do Jun might prompt him to act on it.
“I am exercising restraint.”
It seemed she had no choice but to comply with his request.
“Then, just a light peck, not a full kiss…”
Tae Yeon’s suggestion was quickly dismissed.
Do Jun eagerly explored Tae Yeon’s lips to neutralize the bitterness of the medicine.
Only after painstakingly taking each pill did Do Jun finally let Tae Yeon go.
Tae Yeon’s face was flushed, even though her fever had subsided.
“Let’s get some sleep now.”
“That seems best.”
Do Jun, feeling increasingly unwell, silently slipped under the blanket.
Tae Yeon stepped out of the bed, covered Do Jun with the blanket, and was about to leave when he called her.
“Jin Tae Yeon.”
At the sound of Do Jun’s raspy voice, Tae Yeon slowly turned around.
“If my fever doesn’t go down, can you do what I did yesterday?”
“How?”
“Dr. Kim said it’s effective to manually reduce the fever by wiping with a wet cloth.”
“…….”
The prospect of having to wipe Do Jun’s body made Tae Yeon clutch her dress tightly.
Seeing her hesitation, Do Jun looked disappointed.
“I did part of it.”
“If your fever doesn’t go down…”
“Then?”
“I’ll of course do it.”
She just hoped it wouldn’t come to that.
Tae Yeon wished for the pills Do Jun had taken to be effective, hoping the situation wouldn’t escalate to that point.
“Right?”
“It’s just a friendly gesture. It’s my way of saying let’s get along better in the future.”
Tae Yeon still seemed skeptical, which prompted Si Rak to laugh heartily.
“Why are you so guarded? We’re on the same team, after all.”
“…….”
“I feel bad for not having treated my junior to a meal before. That’s all it is.”
Si Rak laughed again and picked up his chopsticks.
“So, don’t feel pressured and just enjoy the meal.”
It was anything but a comfortable situation for Tae Yeon.
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.”
