As the due date approached, Taein continued remote work. Even staying at home, there was no time to be bored as guests arrived every day, each carrying a handful of gifts.
Taein sighed briefly as he saw Ikyung wearing clothes that seemed like they could have been picked up from the donation box.
The issue wasn’t the worn-out clothes. Ikyung liked vibrant colors, and he hadn’t lost his sense of color coordination.
Hyeseong, who arrived five minutes earlier in flashy attire visible from afar, raised an eyebrow as she carried a gift.
“Where do you get such clothes?”
“Bought them with money.”
“That’s even more shocking.”
Hyeseong shook her head in disbelief.
Heewon brought a hanger from the dressing room at that moment.
These were the clothes Taein and Heewon had prepared in advance for Ikyung.
All the clothes were brand new, and some were designed and made by Taein and Heewon.
“Try them on.”
“What is all this? Why are they so plain? It’s not my style.”
Ikyung openly showed his displeasure at Taein’s suggestion to try them on.
“If they suit you, I’ll give them to you for free. They’re all expensive.”
“Oh, I’ll try them on right away.”
Ikyung swiftly took off his clothes and put on the new ones. His tall and well-proportioned figure made every piece of clothing look good on him.
Taein admired as he had expected.
“This one looks good on you too.”
Ikyung, dressed in a design where a leather jacket he had made was turned into a long dress with a belt, looked even more stylish than Taein had imagined. When Hyeseong put on the choker she brought, it was cooler than what she had imagined.
“Does it suit me a bit?”
Even Hyeseong, who rarely complimented, couldn’t help but express a positive opinion, causing Ikyung’s shoulders to rise high.
“I always look good in everything.”
“Not really.”
“Absolutely not.”
Taein and Hyeseong simultaneously denied Ikyung’s boast.
“What’s this? When did you two become so close?”
“We’re not that close.”
“Not that close?”
They denied it simultaneously again.
What’s with them acting like they’re not close?
Ikyung clicked his tongue, amused.
“Stop bickering and have Manager Min’s chicken!”
Heewon, who was next to them until a moment ago, brought chicken from the kitchen.
The cheerful Heewon quickly became friendly with Ikyung and Hyeseong.
The four of them gathered amicably and started tearing into the chicken.
“Is this the Yesul Chicken you praised so much?”
At Hyeseong’s words, Taein nodded.
“No, isn’t she here? It seems like a franchise business would work well with her chicken.”
Hyeseong was excited, her eyes shining.
“I’m already considering it.”
“Order me as a model.”
“I’m also considering that.”
At Taein’s words, Hyeseong burst into laughter.
“Right, Jung Ikyung, take a few photos before you leave.”
“Are you planning to make good use of me too?”
“Of course.”
“Drawing a big picture with us as the subjects.”
“Eat a lot of chicken before you go.”
Taein said with a friendly tone.
While they were talking, Taein’s phone loudly rang.
Taein wiped his greasy hands and picked up the phone.
The name ‘Woo Jeha’ was displayed on the screen.
“What’s up with Woo Jeha?”
After all the guests had left, Jeha visited Taein’s house. Taein engaged in a conversation with Jeha, only to receive shocking news.
“Se Seji is pretending to lose her memory?”
The news was that Seji was pretending to lose her memory. Jeha lightly nodded in agreement.
“She even imitates a seven-year-old child. Claiming to have no memories after the age of seven.”
Taein was dumbfounded. Seji’s intention was too obvious.
“Is it because of the execution suspension?”
“Probably.”
Seji, who had always lived a luxurious life, couldn’t easily adapt to prison life.
Taein fell into thought for a moment.
“I need to see Seji. Keep it a secret from others.”
As the due date approached, those around Taein were overly protective. If she went to prison pregnant, everyone would surely object. Taein didn’t want to worry people.
“No, absolutely not. Don’t meet anyone with that body. I’d rather meet her.”
Jeha vehemently opposed. It wasn’t unreasonable for Jeha to say that. Meeting Seji during a time when she should only see good things and eat good things might have a negative impact on the child.
However, he didn’t want to see Seji escape using tricks. Seji needed to face consequences.
“She probably won’t even accept a visit.”
Well, she was probably desperately acting now, so there was no need to give unnecessary clues.
“Then let’s do this.”
After thinking hard, Taein proposed an alternative.
Between someone who never had anything and someone who had it but was taken away, who would be more unfortunate?
Seji thought it was the latter.
She went from the best living environment to the worst, and people’s attitudes toward her changed for the worst as well.
Seji calmed her despairing heart.
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.”
