Even though she had stepped out of the waves, the traces were not easily washed away. Kiyun’s broad and large back momentarily concealed it. If it weren’t for Kiyun, it might not have been possible at all.
However, getting a job and going to work in such a place was unrealistic. Moreover, hadn’t Yoo In already rejected a similar kind of offer?
“Because of Nam Yujin? Or do you hate my company that much?”
His face darkened for a moment, but he didn’t seem genuinely upset.
Perhaps Kiyun knew even before Yoo In could say she would refuse.
Thanks to that, Yoo In could answer without serious contemplation.
“It’s not like I have to be constantly by your side.”
“Then, want to work by my side? I’ll give you an expensive desk.”
“That office? No, thanks.”
“You didn’t like the office? What was so bad about it? Tell me in detail.”
“If I talk, will you change everything according to Nam Yujin’s taste?”
“It’s not a difficult task. So, tell me. I’ll change everything according to your taste if you speak.”
Playfully forcing a smile, yet the curved eye lines are elegant. How can a person simultaneously possess such extremes?
It seems like Kiyun has always been like that. Even when he forcibly made me sit in the private room for the first time, no, even before that, when he brought me out with my pride wounded, unable to even greet properly.
No matter how arbitrarily he behaves, the irresistible nobility surrounding him validates and dignifies Kiyun, leaving no choice but to acknowledge it.
It’s fascinating. My eyes keep going there. So, maybe I’ve come to like it. Like this.
“My taste isn’t that sophisticated.”
A faint smile appeared on the edge of Yoo In’s sharp eyes.
“The most beautiful person in the world choosing can’t be unsophisticated.”
Yoo In clearly stated as if what came out of her mouth was the essence of the world.
Even if the most beautiful person in front of her couldn’t endure embarrassment, covering her face and shouting to stop, Yoo In spoke with the momentum to say it a hundred times more.
“There’s no way my choice is wrong. So, you shining the brightest in the world is correct.”
After finishing the meal and coming outside, the heated ground from the now higher sun and the warm, humid breeze could be felt.
Yoo In held Kiyun’s outreached hand as they looked at the green trees and the clear lake spread below the steep hill.
Let’s leave, although the time spent here wasn’t long, she already missed this scenery, this tranquility. Yoo In expressed her regret.
“Can I come again?”
“Of course. If you want.”
The man’s smile-mingled black pupils were as sweet as ripe fruit.
“Will you eliminate people again next time?”
“If you want.”
“…How do you eliminate them? You’re not saying this whole area belongs to you, right?”
“Unfortunately, it’s not.”
Gently stroking Yoo In’s face filled with doubt, Kiyun smiled softly.
“But since you like it so much, I should consider that too.”
“Oh, don’t play around like that. I’m really nervous because it seems like you might actually do it, sir.”
Yoo In, shaking the hand she had caught as if throwing a tantrum, pursed her lips. Seeing that, Kiyun, who couldn’t stand it, pulled Yoo In into his arms at the moment she was trying to put her into his jacket.
Wait a moment, he said, taking out his phone from his jacket. The man’s lips, slightly stiff, as he answered the call.
“Yes.”
While taking the call and shaking the hand he held, Yoo In started walking slowly towards the parking lot.
“What did you pour? When? How much? Really… Checking the CCTV? Secure that and report to the police.”
Throughout the call, Kiyun’s forehead wrinkled uncomfortably. Although the other person’s voice couldn’t be heard, it was evident that the contents flowing from his mouth were unusual.
Even after unlocking the sedan and opening the passenger seat for her, Kiyun hesitated, looking at Yoo In with a questioning gaze.
As if feeling awkward, Yoo In met his gaze, then added something to the other person.
“It will take about an hour. Yes, that’s right.”
The man’s touch putting away the mobile phone is not smooth. He seemed irritated and almost angry, unable to contain his annoyance.
Yoo In asked cautiously, “What’s going on?”
Kiyun smiled smoothly as if forgetting all the momentum he had just vented.
“It’s nothing. Shall we have champagne tomorrow? I think I need to visit the company.”
“I don’t mind… If it involves the police, it’s not a trivial matter, is it?”
Then, a fleeting trace of displeasure appeared on his well-groomed face before quickly disappearing. Afterward, he laughed more intensely, making it difficult to guess his mood.
“It’s nice that you’re concerned. Oh, but don’t worry too much.”
The hand that gently stroked between the furrowed eyebrows was pleasantly warm, like today’s weather.
Even as they returned to the city, Kiyun tried to reassure Yoo In whenever there was an opportunity. He exchanged affectionate glances, held hands, and smiled warmly.
Nevertheless, Yoo In couldn’t shake off a lingering uneasiness for some reason. He didn’t know if it was just concern or a futile premonition.
Everything else was fine. He just hoped that the reason he was hiding from me was as trivial as he claimed. He only wished it wasn’t a big deal.
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.”
