“It seems I don’t know much about you.”
“What do you mean….”
Tae Yeon looked up and stared at Do Jun. His eyes, which seemed sharp, were watching her.
As usual, his gaze was cold and distant today.
‘Will there ever be a day when warmth is contained in those eyes?’
Do Jun silently stared at Tae Yeon, who was staring at him, and walked up to the table in the middle of the office.
He placed on it the proposal Tae Yeon had submitted. Tae Yeon approached and sat in the vacant seat.
“Is there a problem with the proposal I submitted?”
Looking at Tae Yeon’s serious face, Do Jun chuckled.
“A problem.”
He murmured, leaning back deeply in the couch.
“Yes.”
Tae Yeon tightly gripped her hands that were on her lap. It was her first feedback from Do Jun, and she was very nervous.
“If you tell me, I’ll modify and resubmit the proposal.”
Her voice was firm, showing no signs of nervousness.
‘When she talks about work, she seems like a different person.’
Do Jun asked with a smirk as if he was intrigued.
“Why is the new product suddenly made with konjac rice?”
“I learned that new products should be ‘Can this work?'”
This morning. She seemed completely different from the woman who was quite intimidated when asked to act like a loving couple.
She seemed confident and her confidence in her proposal idea was clearly reflected in her clear, nightbrown eyes.
Her appearance piqued Do Jun’s interest.
“Interesting.”
“Let me know what part you didn’t like and I’ll fix it.”
“I’m asking as a husband, not as a director.”
“….Excuse me?”
Her calm eyes faltered. She was curious about why Do Jun suddenly asked that question.
“Why do you continue to work at KK Food instead of the tea business run by your father?”
Before Tae Yeon could fully grasp Do Jun’s question,
Do Jun seemed to have more questions, and he asked another question before Tae Yeon could answer.
“And why didn’t you come up with an idea for this new product that could use a product from the tea business?”
Tae Yeon responded without hesitation.
“Why are you curious about that?”
He didn’t expect a counterquestion, and Do Jun let out a low sigh.
“Because it’s not normal.”
Do Jun pulled back the body he had leaned on the chair and stared at Tae Yeon.
“What you’re thinking, what you’re hiding from me.”
“What?”
“That’s what I’m curious about.”
As Do Jun leaned forward, Tae Yeon pulled her body back. She couldn’t understand what he was saying.
“I don’t hide anything from the director.”
“To the husband.”
“…Not even to the husband.”
Do Jun still furrowed his brow, as if he didn’t hear the answer he wanted.
“I see. Whatever you conceive of as a new product, it’s your freedom.”
Do Jun flipped through one or two pages of the proposal Tae Yeon made and continued.
“What I’m curious about is just one thing. President Jin must have been bloodthirsty to get the tea business products into our KK Food. Is it okay to go this way?”
At first it was a question close to interrogation, but the words Do Jun just spat out were worries.
It was strange. He knew well that Do Jun was not so idle to care about such things.
Tae Yeon answered with a smirk.
“Yes, because I am an employee of KK Food.”
It wasn’t pretense. After reading the sincerity in Tae Yeon’s clear eyes, Do Jun supported his chin with one hand.
The more he knew her, the more curious he was about her real self.
Then. The sound of a knock and Secretary Choi’s voice, saying he needed to attend a meeting soon, came from beyond the door.
Do Jun glanced at the clock and fixed his gaze on Tae Yeon again.
“Let’s have dinner together after work today.”
“Dinner is……”
“Don’t think about refusing. We agreed to spend an hour together every day.”
Tae Yeon responded with a forced smile.
“Okay. But let’s meet at the appointed place.”
“Don’t you want to leave work with me?”
“It’s not that I hate it, I just don’t want to be noticed by others.”
Do Jun naturally drew attention wherever he went.
She wanted to hide as much as possible that her husband was Do Jun in the company, so she had no choice.
Do Jun stepped back and accepted Tae Yeon’s proposal.
“I see. Can I decide the time and place of the appointment arbitrarily?”
“Yes.”
After finishing the task, Tae Yeon was the first to leave the office. After the door shut with a thud, Do Jun pressed his temples with his fingers, seemingly suffering from a headache.
Despite spending time together and exchanging a few words, it was still difficult to grasp the kind of woman Tae Yeon was.
The more they conversed, the more unexpected facts he discovered about her, revealing her to be a woman with surprising charms.
“I must properly understand her, no matter what, this evening.”
((()))((()))((()))
After work, Tae Yeon headed to the address Do Jun had given her.
Upon entering a restaurant made from a renovated traditional Korean house and mentioning Do Jun’s name, she was guided to a private space.
Opening the door, she saw Do Jun, who had already arrived.
“You’re early.”
“Just in case I was late and our date time got reduced.”
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.”
