She was concerned that if the team members only heard Seung-chan’s words, they would think of President Cha Seung-hyuk as a crazy person. He might seem a bit crazy, but she didn’t want others to know about it.
“Seung-chan, I heard something.”
“What is it?”
“President Cha Seung-hyuk isn’t someone who curses behind your back.”
“No, it’s not like that. Team Leader, you saw how the president treated me. If that’s not just cursing, it’s practically swearing, right?”
“Whether it’s cursing or swearing, he does it to your face, not behind your back.”
“Ah…”
Unintentionally, Seung-chan had to admit. Looking back on the situation a while ago, it seemed more than likely.
Leaving Seung-chan, who was consoling himself for not hearing the curses directly, in the front, Young-in left the office.
It was a small reward for the only man in the world who avenged her.
As soon as the Management 5 team finished work, they moved to a nearby handmade pub for their team dinner. However, not long after the dinner started, Hee-ran and Hyun-sim appeared, causing confusion.
Jin-gyo, who first spotted the two, raised his head in surprise.
“Hee-ran, what are you doing at our team dinner?”
“Oppa, are you dividing sides among colleagues in the same company now?”
“It’s not dividing sides, it’s the 5-team dinner!”
“I just came because Seung-chan told me to.”
Hee-ran made excuses using polite words that she tried because she met Seung-chan from the company.
Who would want to come.
It was because she thought that there might be something to pick on when Seo Jin-gyo and Chae Young-in attended together.
She came because she thought there might be something to catch from the relationship between the two, considering that they weren’t in an ordinary relationship.
However, following Hee-ran and Hyun-sim, an uninvited guest appeared again.
This time, it was Seung-hyuk.
Jin-gyo asked with a puzzled expression.
“President, what brings you here?”
“I heard from Baek Hee-ran that it’s the 5th team dinner.”
“I just came because Seung-chan told me about it.”
Hee-ran, through Hyun-sim, called Seung-hyuk using the number she found out. She prattled on about unnecessary things, and then mentioned that she was thinking of going to the 5th team dinner. After that, she hung up the phone.
Not knowing what might happen, Seo Jin-gyo and Ji Seung-chan couldn’t leave Young-in alone at the drinking party they attended. They couldn’t help but worry about her, so they quickly ended the meeting and came.
Seung-chan, unintentionally raising the stakes, was already somewhat drunk before Seung-hyuk arrived. Consequently, not realizing he was next to me, he started playing tricks on Young-in, who was sitting across from him.
“Team Leader, let’s have a round.”
At the same time Seung-hyuk frowned, Jin-gyo, sitting next to Young-in, intervened.
“Young-in quit drinking.”
An awkward smile appeared on Young-in’s face, who had only been eating snacks.
She wasn’t drinking during the team dinner, as she was planning to go back to the company and take her car. She thought her car would be better than a taxi if she needed to move early tomorrow morning.
Glancing at Hae-yoon, who had drunk together last week, she saw a face asking, ‘When did you quit drinking?’
“Hey, don’t say that; just enjoy today.”
At that moment, a chilling voice flowed through the ears of Seung-chan, who was laughing cheerfully.
“I’ll drink instead of Team Leader Chae.”
Turning his head abruptly, Seung-chan looked at Seung-hyuk with surprise.
“Pres, President?”
“Call it a dark knight or whatever.”
“…”
Not knowing how Seung-chan should react, he was just rolling his eyes. At that moment, a warm voice broke the frozen atmosphere.
“President, let’s have a drink.”
Where everyone’s gaze gathered, Hee-ran, holding a beer glass, was smiling.
Since Seung-hyuk didn’t intend to ruin the team dinner completely, he naturally agreed to Hee-ran’s suggestion.
“Let’s all have a drink together. Those who don’t drink can have water or whatever they prefer.”
Finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, Young-in looked at the two vacant seats. However, contrary to the calming atmosphere, Young-in’s nerves became increasingly tense. It was because her attention was focused on Seung-hyuk and Hee-ran sitting side by side. Despite her efforts not to look, every time she heard Hee-ran’s sweet voice, her body twitched involuntarily.
Unable to regain her composure, Young-in quietly stood up and went to the restroom.
Trying to calm her mind and returning to her seat, she found that two seats were empty. They were the seats of Seung-hyuk and Hee-ran.
Young-in, who had been silently observing the empty seats, was approached by the assistant manager.
“Team Leader, Baek Hee-ran left. How shameless can she be? What did she do to the team leader to come here like this?”
Young-in wasn’t curious about Hee-ran. She wasn’t interested in whether she came or went.
“It seems President also left?”
“Hee-ran asked the president to take her, so it seems they left together.”
Young-in belatedly realized that Hee-ran’s intention to send Hee-sim first after Seung-hyuk arrived was a move to ask him to take her home.
He could take her home; what’s so great about that?
Although she tried to think that way, she couldn’t easily shake off the complicated feelings. This was because there were rumors that Baek Hee-ran was openly throwing a fit at Cha Seung-hyuk, making it difficult for Young-in to ignore.
“Shall we wrap it up too?”
In response to Young-in’s declaration, everyone began to prepare to leave discreetly.
Young-in, as usual, took care of her team members, sent them off first, settled the bill, and then left the pub. Just as she was adjusting her bag to leave for the company, a languid voice caught her ear.
“Finished with your tasks?”
Turning around, Seung-hyuk, with both hands in his pockets, was smiling.

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.”
