“No, that’s… ”
For Taeyeon, CEO Jindongpil was nothing more than the person who brought her in for no reason and burdened her with headaches. Despite having a fairly mixed face and thinking that marriage as a business was useful, Dojun found that Taeyeon hadn’t really helped Chashin Yuyup.
Dojun spat out his words in a low voice.
“It seems like there’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t like Chashin Yuyup Jin Taeyeon; I just loved a woman named Jin Taeyeon.”
“…”
“So, whether Taeyeon is your biological daughter or not, that’s not important to me.”
Leaning deeper into the chair and clenching his fist, Dojun continued.
“Yeah, whether you forced the divorce or Taeyeon made the choice voluntarily, what does it matter now?”
CEO Jindongpil couldn’t understand Dojun’s intentions in saying those words. Looking at the black pupils that couldn’t reveal his inner thoughts, it almost felt like Dojun was reading his mind.
“Leaving that aside, I was personally curious about something.”
“What is it?”
“Do you happen to know Jin Taepyung?”
At the mention of that name, CEO Jindongpil’s pupils trembled.
“What? What did you say?”
And it seemed like he stiffened as if he had seen a ghost.
“How do you know that name?”
As CEO Jindongpil reached out to drink water, his hand trembled sweetly, and he ended up dropping the glass.
Dojun observed every bit of that scene.
It was incredibly satisfying to see him reveal his agitation so explicitly. “I happened to learn about Chashin Yuyup while investigating. You weren’t the founder, were you?”
“Oh, I co-founded it…”
CEO Jindongpil’s words gradually diminished.
With a calm face, Dojun waited for the next words.
Even so, like someone glued to their lips, he wouldn’t speak easily. Once again, Dojun had to take the initiative.
“And he was your brother.”
“…”
“He reportedly died in an unfortunate accident, but surprisingly, it wasn’t covered much in the newspapers.”
“Did… did it?”
CEO Jindongpil was sweating even more than before, shaking uncomfortably enough to make anyone watching uneasy.
“That must have been very sad.”
“Yeah, it was.”
“What kind of person was Jin Taepyung?”
Dojun, who wouldn’t let go once he started questioning, was determined to lead CEO Jindongpil to the edge of the cliff today as well and make him breathe. “Was he a close friend?”
“No, it’s just, well, like all siblings, we weren’t particularly close or distant…”
“Then were you rivals?”
CEO Jindongpil awkwardly lifted and dropped the corners of his mouth.
“Well, it seems so.”
The constantly changing reactions were quite amusing.
It was a moment when Dojun felt he had gained the most facing CEO Jindongpil today.
“CEO Jindongpil, if I may.”
CEO Jindongpil was on edge, wondering what words would come out of Dojun’s mouth next.
“Is it possible that Jin Taepyung is our Taeyeon’s biological father?”
“…”
CEO Jindongpil’s mouth hung open in shock.
Soon, CEO Jindongpil belatedly began to manage his expression.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. As I mentioned before, Taeyeon was abandoned in front of my house, and I raised her.”
“Sure. Let’s see how long CEO Jindongpil can keep pretending not to know.”
Dojun stood up, signaling the end of the conversation.
Looking at him, CEO Jindongpil urgently asked, “Director Cha, what do you mean by that?”
“Well.”
Dojun buttoned up his jacket, smiling wryly.
“In other words, take responsibility for meddling with my people.”
“…”
Looking at CEO Jindongpil’s trembling lips, Dojun couldn’t help but laugh briefly as if it was absurd.
Then, without any lingering feelings, he left the Korean restaurant.
Getting into the car, Dojun, loosening his tie that had been uncomfortably tight around his neck, instructed Secretary Choi.
“Starting now, CEO Jindongpil is looking for someone.”
“Yes, Director Cha.”
“I want us to meet that person first by questioning.”
Secretary Choi, with a very reliable face, asserted that Dojun could trust him.
Regretting that he had revealed his weakness so easily, Dojun thought it would have been better to pull out all the teeth before the opponent could attack.
Closing his eyes, Dojun, as Secretary Choi continued to report briefly on Taeyeon, felt a faint smile appear on his face.
It was a story that didn’t exist, but so what?
Just because it was about Taeyeon, Dojun’s face, which had been stiff due to a single reason, broke into a light smile.
He wanted to see it dirtied.
Taeyeon, thinking of buying some necessities at the mart, left her room.
“Hello?”
The two handsome men she had seen in the kitchen earlier were playing badminton in the guest house yard.
Thinking that they seemed genuinely friendly, Taeyeon nodded her head.
As she was about to pass them.
Approaching her, they suddenly started introducing themselves out of the blue.
“I’m Kim Ilhoon.”
“Haha. Did you see me this morning too? I’m Kim Ihun.”
Looking at the two men claiming to be twin brothers, Taeyeon reluctantly revealed her name.
“I’m Jin Taeyeon.”
“Oh, such a beautiful name.”

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.”
