Upon hearing Taeyeon’s voice from the other end of the phone, Dojun could tell immediately.
Although she was trying to sound cheerful, Taeyeon’s voice was much lower than usual.
Perhaps the boss, who had a conversation with her earlier today, had summoned her and scolded her.
What’s the big deal about the investment?
He thought about just giving her a few hundred million won, but it seemed like Taeyeon wouldn’t want that, so he found himself in a situation where he couldn’t do this or that.
To receive investment, at the very least, she should show some sincerity by writing a business plan.
Since Boss Jin trusted Taeyeon, whom he had left like a prisoner, to be a money-making machine, he didn’t make any effort.
Knowing this, Taeyeon also unconditionally asked him not to invest.
Dojun received a report from Secretary Choi that she had left work early.
Hoping that she wasn’t lonely waiting for him in her empty house, he quickly finished the meeting.
At the moment he was heading home.
Secretary Choi conveyed that Taeyeon was with Boss Jin.
So, he waited in the parking lot for a long time.
Unable to endure the minutes feeling like hours, Dojun called.
Suppressing the urge to rush into the restaurant where the two were.
Taeyeon said she wanted to take a walk, so he started the car without looking back.
It took only about ten minutes to get from the company to the park.
Spotting Taeyeon sitting on a bench from a distance, he hastened his steps warmly.
However, Dojun belatedly noticed that Taeyeon’s expression looked more troubled than usual.
“What on earth did you talk about?”
Seems like it was more than just disagreeing on the investment.
Seeing her sad expression as if she had lost everything in the world.
Taeyeon stared at a white paper for a while, then folded it in half and put it in her bag.
Observing her, Dojun’s eyes narrowed.
“What kind of document is it?”
There was a fleeting thought in his mind, but he quickly shook his head, dispelling that thought.
“It probably isn’t.”
He hoped it wasn’t true.
Seeing Taeyeon covering her face with both hands, Dojun quickly closed the distance.
In the somewhat chilly weather, her slender shoulders trembled.
Wanting to protect her.
Wanting to keep her by his side forever.
He took off his jacket and put it on Taeyeon’s shoulders. When she slowly lifted her head, her eyes were filled with gratitude.
Looking into her eyes, Dojun bent his waist and kissed her.
Forgetting that they were in a public place.
After a somewhat long kiss, he finally let her go.
“Dojun?”
Due to my unexpected actions, Taeyeon’s eyes were wide open.
Confusion replaced the sadness in her chestnut-colored eyes, and they soon folded delicately like a crescent moon.
“How did you come so quickly?”
“Because I missed you.”
In reality, Dojun had been waiting at the company without going home, silently swallowing the words that he had been waiting. He also sat on the bench, placing his large hand on Taeyeon’s cold hands to warm them.
“Did you wait long?”
“No, it wasn’t long. Dojun, you came so early.”
Dojun buttoned up his jacket that was draped over Taeyeon’s shoulders to prevent it from falling off.
“I’m fine.”
“The weather has gotten quite chilly now. Always remember to wear a coat.”
“I will. But if you give me your jacket, Dojun, you’ll be cold.”
“True.”
“If Dojun wears this…”
When she tried to take it off.
Dojun reached out his arms and hugged her.
A pleasant fragrance emanated from him, reaching her nose.
“I don’t feel cold at all like this.”
“Liar.”
“Really.”
Of course, being in Dojun’s embrace made Taeyeon much warmer. He was so warm, like her private heater.
How much she missed this embrace today, only this man would know.
Nevertheless, the way he hugged her, it felt so grateful, as if he knew everything.
Maybe their hearts were connected.
While still in Dojun’s arms, Taeyeon pulled her arms out of the jacket.
Observing what Taeyeon was trying to do, Dojun’s lips slightly curved when he felt her hand pulling his waist.
Due to Taeyeon pulling, their bodies pressed together seamlessly.
“I thought it would be warmer like this.”
“You did well.”
Without asking anything, Dojun slowly stroked Taeyeon’s back.
Her slender figure that fit snugly into his arms looked even smaller.
Come to think of it, these days Taeyeon seemed to have lost some weight.
Even the dress she usually wore seemed loose around the waist.
Even when she was with me, she couldn’t eat properly, like a person who worries a lot.
Dojun asked softly, “Are you dieting lately?”
“Huh?”
“It seems like you’ve lost some weight.”
“Oh, I just don’t have much of an appetite.”
“I see.”
Dojun silently stared at Taeyeon’s face after her explanation.
“And I’ve been exercising a bit intensively…”
“Exercise?”
She exercised.
While I was away, did Taeyeon use the exercise room?
Taeyeon shyly answered, lips curled as if embarrassed.
That’s right.
Pushing her so hard while she couldn’t even eat properly.
It was natural for her to lose weight like this.

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.”
