As TOC Entertainment was a large company, the number of employees was considerable, with more than half of them being female. Whenever Kang Hyun saw female employees of Yoon’s age, he couldn’t help but think of Yoon.
Gathering in the break room, they enjoyed coffee and lively conversations about their interests in dating and fashion. Although Kang Hyun had no interest in these topics before, he found himself becoming curious about what Yoon’s peers liked and what their interests were.
However, compared to them, Yoon felt too mature, and it hurt Kang Hyun’s heart. Perhaps it was because Yoon matured early, as Oksun mentioned, and he felt she might have missed or even given up on things she should have enjoyed at her age.
“I’ve tried them when students gave them to me. They were delicious.”
Yoon laughed heartily. The macarons were cute, bite-sized, and Yoon found them fascinating. Children teased her, saying it was the first time they had seen someone like her playing with them.
“You like sweet things, so you’ll probably like macarons too. Let’s stop by on our way.”
“But Kang Hyun doesn’t really like them.”
“Why does it matter? If you like it, that’s enough.”
Kang Hyun gently caressed her hand. Even if Yoon couldn’t do something before, there was nothing she wouldn’t be able to enjoy in the future.
‘I’ll do anything for you.’
Looking at Yoon smiling with her eyes, Kang Hyun’s eyes also turned into crescents.
After a while, the car carrying the two stopped in front of the macaron shop. Kang Hyun had worried about whether they could buy them due to the shop’s popularity, but surprisingly, it was quiet inside today. Only about six female customers were present.
“Kang Hyun, just stay in the car. I’ll go and buy.”
“No, it’s dangerous.”
“What’s dangerous?”
“Everything is dangerous.”
Kang Hyun took out a hat, mask, and sunglasses. Even though there weren’t many people around, he decided to be brave.
“This way, they probably won’t recognize us, right?”
“They probably will.”
Anyone could tell that it was Cha Kang Hyun, even with a hat, mask, and sunglasses.
“No, they won’t recognize us. But your voice can be heard, so you have to go in and place the order. Also, you’re a public figure; people might recognize you even with the mask. Put it on.”
“…Okay.”
Yoon had a feeling that everyone would recognize them, but since there weren’t many people inside, she decided to give it a try.
Kang Hyun and Yoon opened the door and entered the shop. As soon as they did, all the customers turned to look at them.
Since Kang Hyun was a well-known figure with a distinctive physical appearance, he attracted everyone’s attention wherever he went.
When Yoon hesitated at the entrance, Kang Hyun wrapped his arm around her shoulder and stepped into the shop.
“See? They don’t recognize us.”
Kang Hyun whispered in her ear, chuckling.
“Quickly buy and let’s leave.”
Yoon felt uneasy as she sensed the curious gazes of the people around her.
“Is it Kang Hyun?”
“It seems like it. But who’s the person next to him? Could it be the national teacher?”
“Oh my, it might be. Kyaa!”
The people in the shop quickly surrounded the two.
“No, it’s not.”
Although Kang Hyun clapped his hands in embarrassment, no one believed him. With his distinctive presence, Kang Hyun was easily recognizable even from 100 meters away. He was the only one unaware of this.
“Can we take a picture?”
“Wow! It’s Teacher Seo Yoon, the national teacher!”
The chaos erupted as everyone raised their phones to capture the two.
“Excuse me.”
Kang Hyun finally lowered his mask, wondering if it would make any difference.
“It really is Cha Kang Hyun!”
“Wow, he’s even better in person!”
“He’s so handsome. Wow!”
People who confirmed his face screamed in excitement.
“Yes, that’s correct.”
In the end, Kang Hyun had to admit his identity.
“But my wife hasn’t fully recovered yet. So please, be a little careful.”
People, initially excited, began to calm down hearing Kang Hyun’s words.
“National Teacher, haven’t you fully recovered yet?”
A middle-aged lady asked with a concerned look.
“No, I still need to be cautious.”
Kang Hyun wrapped his arms around Yoon’s shoulders, holding her close. Everyone sighed in admiration.
“But how did you end up here?”
“My wife likes macarons, and this place is famous for them. So, please understand if we stay just a bit.”
Kang Hyun’s gentle demeanor made the women’s cheeks blush.
“Oh my, you came here because your wife likes macarons.”
“He’s so considerate.”
“You two are so lovely.”
“Since you came for your wife’s sake, let’s all step aside.”
People gradually stepped back, all casting envious glances. Beyond being a top star, they were pleased to see a husband who cared affectionately for his wife.
“Thank you.”
Kang Hyun bought a variety of macarons in different colors.
“Looks like we’re cleaning out the entire store.”
“I’d buy everything for them.”
At that moment, Kang Hyun turned to the people.
“I’ll pay for everyone.”
Everyone cheered at Kang Hyun’s words.
“Wow, we get to eat macarons bought by Cha Kang Hyun!”
“Amazing! Thank you!”
“May you both be happy.”
“Teacher, please recover quickly.”
Kang Hyun and Yoon nodded in response to people’s greetings.
“Thank you.”
However, as Kang Hyun and Yoon were about to leave the store after safely buying the macarons, they were shocked to see a crowd already gathered outside the store.
The news had already spread throughout the area due to some people uploading pictures on social media.
Kang Hyun sighed deeply. The two were now completely trapped in the store.
‘What should we do?’
Kang Hyun was perplexed.
“When did people gather like this?”
“Who informed them? How can we even get to the car?”
“Teacher, you’re not fully recovered yet.”
People inside the store also expressed concern.
“This won’t work. Let’s help them.”
“Okay.”
The store owner and part-time workers joined forces. People surrounded the two.
“Thank you.”
Grateful, Kang Hyun bowed slightly. Then, he took off his coat and covered Yoon’s head, holding her up. People’s mouths dropped open at the sight.
While the article from the hospital staff revealed that Kang Hyun was an amazing lover, witnessing it in person left everyone breathless.
“Kang Hyun should cover his face.”
Yoon murmured in his arms.
“I’m a well-known figure anyway. This isn’t the first or second time this has happened. Just close your eyes. I’ll quickly take you to the car.”
The store owner opened the door, and the people inside the store followed them as they moved to the car.
“Teacher Seo Yoon isn’t fully recovered yet. Please don’t push.”
“Since they came to buy macarons for his wife, let’s give them some space. National Teacher might get hurt.”
The store owner’s shout made the people in front gradually step back.
Kang Hyun carefully opened the passenger seat door and lifted Yoon into the car. Then, turning back to face the people, he bowed to express his gratitude.
“Thank you.”
Kang Hyun’s polite gesture earned cheers from the crowd.
“Who said Cha Kang Hyun is arrogant? He’s so polite.”
“He’s really well-mannered.”
“May you both be happy.”
Responding to people’s greetings, Kang Hyun flashed a bright smile, and at that moment, the sound of cellphone cameras clicking erupted.
“Did you see Cha Kang Hyun smiling?”
“Yikes! He looks even more handsome when he smiles.”
People stepped back from the car to ensure the two could leave safely.
“You’re truly wonderful people.”
“Thanks to Teacher Seo Yoon.”
“What…?”
Yoon looked embarrassed.
“So, Teacher Seo Yoon’s husband is like this.”
Yoon chuckled at Kang Hyun’s wink.
And later, portal sites were adorned with articles about the two throughout the day.
“Cruel Killer Attacks Macaron Shop!”
“Cruel Killer, Honey Dripping from His Eyes!”
“Cruel Killer’s Deadly Smile!”
Moreover, a video of Kang Hyun carrying Yoon garnered over 2 million views in just one day.

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.

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.”
