It wasn’t because of the time difference like an overseas business trip, and it wasn’t because of exhaustion from travel time, but she felt strangely tired.
It was clear that it was due to the unexpected emotional consumption.
Now that she’s back, what should she do? His determination seemed unchanged.
If he asks how you feel, she would say it’s fine. He is a sufficiently charming person, and although he looks cold, maybe that’s not his defense mechanism.
Seeing him made her heart beat faster, and even with a small touch, she couldn’t sleep. All her thoughts ended up being about him. If this isn’t love, what is it?
The decisive factor was seeing him with Seyoung. Why does it irritate her? It had been a lingering question for a long time, but she didn’t like seeing him with another woman.
Has the time come to break the relationship she confined?
Without realizing it, she watched him drive. She caught him in the act. He drove for her, who was tired. Of course, there was a struggle between them about it, but ultimately, faced with his detailed explanation of the dangers of drowsy driving, she handed over the steering wheel.
He was always like that. He checked on my condition and showed consideration. He kept taking over my role.
That must be his way of expressing feelings.
The familiar cityscape passed by outside the window. When he gets off, I have to arrive home as quickly as possible, wash up faster than anyone else, and fall asleep.
I have to unconsciously let go of all the unstable emotions, thinking, I closed my eyes.
How much time has passed? Blinking, Haejin lifted her heavy eyelids as much as possible.
This is the direction to our house. Quickly opening my eyes, I looked around. One thing was certain; this wasn’t around Taehong’s house.
“Team leader, where are you going?”
“To take Jeonghaejin.”
To take her? Originally, according to the original plan, it was a situation where Taehong should take her. Certainly, the boundaries of their relationship seemed to be crumbling.
“Why?”
“You look tired.”
For him, every situation was always simple. The reasons for his actions were always straightforward.
“I can’t just leave you alone and go.”
He was always honest about his emotions. There was no hesitation, no looking back.
What he thought of as a simple act of taking her could be considered excessive kindness from a superior, but it was different for Haejin.
Unlike her, who thinks too much, he thought and acted too simply. But that always tickled her heart.
After answering the question in her mind, she shook at even a small word, a light touch.
“I’m okay.”
“Because I’m not okay, let’s just go.”
He drew a line, telling her not to argue anymore. When she thought about it, the definition of the line he drew and the one she drew were different.
He drew the line to break down the emotional barrier, and she drew the line not to break down the boundary of their relationship.
In the end, they arrived in front of the house. There were only streetlights in the dark neighborhood. The sporadic lights from the windows indicated that it was late.
“Thank you for taking me.”
As Haejin got out of the car, Taehong also got out. Before she could ask why, he had already taken out the suitcase from the trunk, as if he had already planned the route.
“Can I carry it?”
But Taehong passed her hand and lifted the suitcase. It was too quiet in the neighborhood to drag it on the ground.
“Watch me carry it again.”
As if saying it was absurd, he quickly lifted the suitcase. It was surprising to put it down again. Was the suitcase so light?
When she carried it, it was dragging on the ground, but Taehong lifted it with one hand. Since he was carrying the suitcase, she had no choice but to walk ahead quickly.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the officetel, he tried to take the suitcase, but failed again. He just put it down on the ground, and the handle was still in Taehong’s hand.
“Now you can give it to me.”
Without giving her the suitcase, Taehong just looked around. Now, if we just take the elevator and go up, it’s over, but he seemed to have no intention of doing that at all.
“Having come this far, are you just going to leave?”
After looking around for a while, he casually suggests going to her house in the end.
“Do I have to tell you to eat ramen before you go?”
“Sure, if you say so.”
Only then did his hand detach from the handle of the suitcase. Each time the sensor blinked, her excited heart followed suit. Whether he knew it or not, he didn’t show any signs of emotional turmoil.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have ramen at home.”
“If there’s no ramen, just give me a glass of water.”
Where is a house without water? It was a statement that he would stubbornly go inside.
“If you honestly want to come in, do I have permission?”
Haejin clenched her teeth. Can she handle the hidden intentions behind the pretext of permission?
“I’m thirsty.”
For a moment, her face turned red. Was thirst the right word? The implied meaning at the end of the impure thought was ambiguous.
No, he must be tired after driving for a long time on her behalf. Thirst could have a simple meaning, and giving him a cool glass of water would be enough.
Don’t get too lost in your imagination alone.
Finally, to confirm that her last thought was correct, she looked at him, but she couldn’t read any emotions in him.
Only the suitcase, which no one was holding, was blocking their way. However, he subtly pushed the suitcase aside. The wheels moved easily.
Now there was nothing blocking between the two. Even the sensor lights that illuminated the unmoving two people went out.

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.
