“Ugh.”
Upon entering the house, Haeyeon finally felt the accumulating fatigue. Clearly, when she was hospitalized, her body was only slightly stiff, as she had mentioned to Jua. However, upon arriving in a reassuring space, tension was released, and her senses came alive.
Still, excluding the fatigue, there were no major issues. So, Haeyeon quickly washed her sweaty and sticky body. Submerging herself in a bathtub filled with appropriately warm water, she released the fatigue from today.
“Haah. Feels like I’ve come back to life.”
Having spent a longer time in the bathroom than usual, the languid Haeyeon changed into fresh clothes. As she entered the bedroom, an expression of puzzlement crossed her face at Doha’s absence, who should have been there.
The doubt was quickly dispelled the moment she entered the kitchen. Haeyeon’s dining room, designed with luxurious Nordic lighting and delicate furniture, had Inyeong, the tall figure, moving busily in between.
“Oh? Doha?”
Whether a casually uttered word was heard or not, Doha quickly turned his head, scanning Haeyeon rapidly.
Having bathed and come out, slightly refreshed cheeks, hair that was not yet completely dry, comfortable attire. Above all, an improved face. Doha, who confirmed that Haeyeon’s condition had improved, finally relaxed and smiled.
Watching Doha’s worried expression, Haeyeon felt a mix of joy at feeling loved. Approaching Doha with a blushing face, she affectionately narrowed her eyes.
“Haeyeon, did you finish bathing?”
“Yes, I did. But what were you doing?”
Looking back and forth between the pot half-hidden behind his broad back and the ladle clenched in his hand, Haeyeon asked. Instead of replying with words, Doha, with a slight twist of his body, revealed the contents of the pot.
“This is… porridge?”
In the pot were lumps of well-cooked white porridge, almost completed during Haeyeon’s bath, showing a mushy texture.
“Yes, you haven’t had dinner yet. Since you also received IV fluids, let’s have porridge for today.”
“If you had said something, I would have helped…”
As Haeyeon blurred the end of her sentence with a sorry feeling, Doha softened his eyebrows, focusing on cooking again. Seeing that, Haeyeon, feeling a warm heart in his actions, instinctively approached.
“Oh, no way. There’s no chance of that happening. Just sit quietly in the chair without thinking about lifting a finger.”
Doha said lightly, like poking a child. Knowing the warmth contained in it, Haeyeon sat quietly on the chair and waited.
Once again focusing on cooking, Doha, with a black apron tied around his waist and a white shirt, looked unusually daring. Eventually, Haeyeon shook her head lightly and gazed at Doha again, like a quiet puppy. After a few minutes of bustling movement, Doha stirred the porridge once and turned off the heat.
“I can’t guarantee the taste. Still, try it for now. Eat slowly because it’s hot.”
“Yes, I’ll enjoy it.”
She was about to take out the chopsticks, but he prevented even that. Haeyeon looked at him with a fluttering heart. Doha poured the porridge into a bowl, brought out the side dishes from the fridge, and sat opposite her at the dining table.
The steaming white porridge and Doha smiling affectionately. Looking at this heartwarming scene, Haeyeon, who had spooned some porridge into her mouth, couldn’t say anything.
“How is it, Haeyeon?”
Seeing her eat, Doha asked subtly. White porridge, not heavily seasoned considering her health, wasn’t expected to taste great. Knowing this fact, Haeyeon, looking at his hopeful face, couldn’t say anything.
“…”
The effort put into boiling the porridge and the feelings that came with the side dishes chosen to accompany it made Haeyeon emotionally overwhelmed. Whenever she received Doha’s unlimited affection, she genuinely wanted to ask him.
“Aren’t you resentful of me?”
The person who knew better than anyone what the answer would be was herself. However, the one she found hardest to understand was also herself.
Unable to articulate those words, she forced a smile and took a bite of the porridge.
“It’s delicious.”
Feeling choked, Haeyeon quickly picked up a side dish.
As Doha hoped for an empty bowl, Haeyeon ate every bit without leaving a trace. Thanks to Doha finishing the dishes himself, the two went to bed earlier than usual.
Lying on the bed, Haeyeon’s mind was complex despite her relaxed body. The auditory hallucinations and illusions she felt just before collapsing today continued to gnaw at her nerves.
Today is a special day, right?
You won’t be able to drive for a while.
At the time of the accident, she didn’t know whose voice it was, but now, upon reflection, the protagonist of that voice was none other than Haeyeon herself.
The most perplexing part was that section.
‘What exactly is special, and what does it mean that I can’t drive for a while?’

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.”
