Meaning that no matter how hard Sooryeon tried, Doha would never see her as anything more than a plaything.
“No matter how hard you try, you’ll never be more than a joke to my husband.”
Sooryeon’s dark eyes sparkled in the shadows.
“So if you don’t want to become more pathetic, just give up. Don’t play these low-level games again.”
With a shallow smile, Haeyeon left the shabby place. As she disappeared, Sooryeon, still not moving, murmured softly,
“Give up?”
Her voice fell hopelessly to the ground, unheard by anyone. Even as a loud ‘Cheers!’ erupted from a nearby building, Sooryeon remained motionless. Hidden in the darkness, her face obscured, she continued,
“Start? I never even started.”
Sooryeon’s heavy words dissipated into the darkness. She was well aware that Doha didn’t see her as a woman. In fact, Sooryeon knew it best. That’s why she spent days contemplating how to approach him as a woman, thinking of ways to confess her feelings. Then, one day, she heard the news of Cha Doha’s marriage.
When Sooryeon first heard about Doha’s marriage from her brother, it felt like the sky had fallen. Doha, who had seemingly started dating without anyone knowing, got married within a few months. Struck by the shocking news, Sooryeon couldn’t bear to attend his wedding. She fled to England, where she desperately tried to forget Cha Doha.
Work became Sooryeon’s chosen escape.
She worked furiously, but when she had to return to Korea and learned more about Doha’s circumstances, she couldn’t let go of her lingering feelings and decided to use Min Haeyeon. She thought that by claiming to be Doha’s lover, any woman would naturally retreat. Even if that wasn’t the reason, Haeyeon should have backed off long ago.
But now, everything felt like a complete mess. Not only was Min Haeyeon still by Doha’s side, but she had also inflicted an unprecedented sense of humiliation on Sooryeon.
“If I was going to end it like this, I wouldn’t have called you, Min Haeyeon.”
Sooryeon’s eyes sparkled in the dark street, revealing a level of anger she wasn’t used to showing.
“Don’t you know the saying, ‘What goes around comes around’?”
Letting out a chilling laugh, Sooryeon tightly pursed her lips.
She had dismissed this whole ordeal as trivial. Considering what Haeyeon would face in the future, it would indeed be minor in comparison.
In the dimly lit alley, Sooryeon flipped her dark hair back and pulled out her phone from her dust bag. Her voice, as low as her gaze, dialed her secretary.
“I have something new to investigate.”
[Please tell me, Director.]As she heard the response, the recent events replayed in Sooryeon’s mind.
Doha’s interruption of her speech was out of character. It was too unnatural to be a mere aversion to an uncomfortable topic. Moreover, on the day she first called him out, Haeyeon showed no reaction when discussing ‘that incident’.
It could be a trivial matter, but under the current circumstances, even trivialities needed attention.
“Reinvestigate Min Haeyeon from the beginning. Focus on medical records this time.”
[Understood.]After ending the call, Sooryeon stepped out of the dark alley and made a silent proclamation to someone who wasn’t there.
“Let’s see who ends up at the bottom.”
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.”
