From what Nok Hyun remembered, Tae In despised physical contact to an extreme.
At the wedding, when they had shared a light kiss, Tae In had trembled, her shoulders stiff and quivering.
So, he intended to just press his lips against hers briefly.
However, the moment he pulled away, Nok Hyun knew. It wasn’t the right approach.
Tae In’s eyes, looking at Nok Hyun, were shimmering brilliantly.
Realizing that, their lips collided once again.
Contrary to before, Tae In didn’t show any sign of fear or avoidance. Instead, she gripped Nok Hyun’s shoulder and kissed him back deeply.
It was clumsy, but her desire to connect was palpably felt.
Nok Hyun sighed internally.
Thinking and comparing her to the Tae In from before now seemed absurd.
Perhaps the current Tae In was the true Tae In.
Tae In had lived a horribly suppressed life, having survived neardeath experiences multiple times. It was a life where she had no choice but to become accustomed to hiding herself.
Nok Hyun took a deeper hold of Tae In’s lips.
The kiss, which started as a test, had long forgotten its initial purpose.
Nok Hyun slid through the tiny gap that had opened.
Tae In’s inside was unbelievably soft and sweet.
He held her slim, white neck with one hand and moved in a little further.
Then, Tae In pushed Nok Hyun’s shoulder away. As if out of breath, her face flushed as she gasped for air, soon parting her slightly swollen lips.
“…I, I kissed my ideal type!”
With those words, Tae In fainted.
Looking at the peacefully sleeping Tae In, Nok Hyun furrowed his eyebrows.
What just happened?
His mind seemed to malfunction, unable to understand immediately.
Even as he covered the sprawled out, blanketkicking Tae In with a blanket, Nok Hyun felt absolutely dumbfounded.
It was as if he had been struck by lightning.
Nok Hyun woke up from sleep due to a teasing touch on his chest. Despite its small size, the touch was bold. The hand that was caressing his skin gently started to move downwards.
Halfawake, Nok Hyun stared expressionlessly at the mischievous hand before pulling it away.
This situation was problematic. Especially in the morning.
Despite his will, his responsive body felt uncomfortable. Frowning, Nok Hyun turned his head.
Pulling away the blanket revealed Tae In’s face.
“Don’t pretend to be asleep.”
Tae In’s eyelids fluttered. Nok Hyun just watched her face quietly.
Whether she missed the timing to open her eyes or to admit her deceit, Tae In ended up not opening her eyes.
“Then is it my turn now?”
Nok Hyun’s long finger touched Tae In’s cheek. The color deepened on her peachcolored cheek.
Just as Tae In’s hand had done, Nok Hyun’s finger slowly moved downwards.
Maybe because her dress was large, everything below her neck was exposed. Nok Hyun’s hand went past Tae In’s thin neck, which had just swallowed a dry lump, and reached below her collarbone.
Her skin was so pale it was nearly translucent, and excessively soft.
As Nok Hyun’s fingers gradually trailed down, Tae In’s shoulders twitched slightly.
He was merely curious about how long she planned to feign sleep.
Her lips wriggled as if anticipating something. Nok Hyun, who had been intently observing this, pinched the cheek of the playful Maltese.
“Ouch, it hurts!”
Regardless of whether Tae In pouted or not, Nok Hyun lifted her into his arms. Tae In, who had been desperately keeping her eyes closed, opened them wide in response to the unexpected situation.
Before she could even open her mouth, Tae In was left in the corridor.
Looking at the firmly closed bedroom door, Tae In quietly sniffled.
“I’ve failed.”
Tae In got up and pressed her ear to the door. She could faintly hear the sound of running water. He was apparently taking a shower.
She tried to open the door by turning the handle, but the door was already firmly closed.
“…Did he lock it in case I tried to enter?”
In fact, there was another door inside the bedroom. When Tae In had explored on her own, that door had been locked.
She had a feeling something secretive was hidden there. That was why she had insisted on sharing the room, but Nok Hyun had absolutely refused.
Tae In dusted off her hands and went downstairs.
Due to her hangover, she hadn’t slept properly and felt tired.
The moment she lay down in her room, the sensation of touching Nok Hyun vividly came to mind.
“He must be exercising diligently, what’s lacking?”
Tae In fell asleep feeling the lingering sensation of his perfect touch.
Nok Hyun, who had gone to work at the company, immediately summoned Lee Kyung.
He hadn’t come to work in Gapyeong today as he had to fulfill Nok Hyun’s schedule.
Seeing Lee Kyung’s unusually upright posture, Nok Hyun felt his headache intensify.
“Did you feed her alcohol even though I told you to keep a good eye on her?”
Lee Kyung was quickwitted. He quickly deduced that his boss wasn’t overly upset and opened his mouth.
“Don’t you think there’s something strange?”
“…….”

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

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.
