In the end, Chae Yoon, who could not face Jae Oh like this, decided to run, but eventually ran into Jae Oh.

“….”
Chae Yoon, who turned her head quickly to avoid his gaze when her eyes met with Jae Oh who had stopped to look at her, hurried up to the upper floor without looking at him as much as possible, and Jae Oh’s gaze followed Chae Yoon.

Watching Chae Yoon’s retreating figure, Jae Oh released a deep sigh before opening Ji Pil’s room door.

“Why did you call me?”
Seeing his grandson, who seemed to have lost some weight in a few days, Ji Pil calmly conveyed his words.

“Chae Yoon decided to leave tomorrow.”
Jae Oh’s eyes widened in surprise.

“What are you talking about? Who decided it arbitrarily……”
“I made the decision. Why? Is it not allowed?”
“Grandfather.”
As Jae Oh’s voice died down, Ji Pil moved his lips as if he had been waiting.

“I thought you’d have some idea when you asked Chae Yoon not to leave. So I followed your words, but what have you been doing?”
Unable to immediately refute Ji Pil’s words, which were fired off accusingly, implying he hadn’t done anything to change Chae Yoon’s mind, Jae Oh could not answer.

How could he?

That he found Chae Yoon adorable as he was doing something he hadn’t done in a bid to win her heart, that he had thoughts of kissing her, and now whenever he thought of that he couldn’t sleep at night.

So Jae Oh, unable to say that he was on the verge of going crazy, furrowed his brow and maintained silence.

Ji Pil looked at Jae Oh with scornful eyes.

‘He only does his work well, everything else is a headache.’
Tsk tsk, Ji Pil turned his gaze away from Jae Oh.

“If there’s nothing more to say, leave.”
Ji Pil, having finished speaking, fixed his eyes on the book.

Jae Oh gave Ji Pil, who had arbitrarily arranged a place for Chae Yoon to live, and early at that, an awkward look before quickly turning his body and leaving the room.

The moment he left Ji Pil’s room, a sigh mixed with irritation burst from Jae Oh’s lips.

“Ah…he’s no help, no help at all.”
Just when I thought I could finally look at Chae Yoon properly, she’s leaving tomorrow.

Jae Oh, who thought the timing was terrible, headed straight for Chae Yoon’s room.

His hand, which had never knocked before as he was always rushing to enter, reached for the doorknob out of habit today as well.

His hand which was about to open the door froze.

[What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave!] In the face of the rebellious scene that once again tried to take control of his head, he cleared his throat and knocked.

Knock, knock.

Hearing the knock, Chae Yoon’s eyes widened.

‘Who is it?’
Perhaps because she had seen Jae Oh in front of Ji Pil’s room a little while ago, Chae Yoon felt that the person standing outside the door would be Jae Oh.

Even now, if she saw him, she would remember the incident and it seemed as though she wouldn’t be able to look him in the eye properly, but she had to leave the house tomorrow.

She couldn’t keep avoiding him until the last night, so Chae Yoon gathered her courage and asked.

“Who is it?”
“It’s me.”
The visitor was indeed Jae Oh.

With her lips pressed together, Chae Yoon took a deep breath and opened the door.

The first thing that came into view through the open door was a broad chest.

Chae Yoon raised her eyes and glanced at him, then spoke softly.

“Come in.”
As Jae Oh entered the room, Chae Yoon headed towards the table by the window.

Jae Oh followed behind Chae Yoon and sat down in front of her.

Wonder how long it had been since they faced each other.

As if nothing had happened, Chae Yoon, who had promised to look at him as naturally as possible, failed to look at Jae Oh properly.

An uncomfortable and awkward atmosphere enveloped them.

The one who broke the stifling silence between them was Jae Oh.

“I’m leaving tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
She responded quickly, but Chae Yoon was still looking elsewhere.

Jae Oh’s gaze landed on Chae Yoon.

After looking at her frontfacing pictures constantly these past few days, the sight of her slightly lowering her eyes and bowing her head felt somewhat fresh.

Starting from her round forehead, the gaze that flowed down her straight nose stopped at her tiny lips.

Seeing her biting her lower lip, it seemed like she felt awkward looking at him.

It was unexpected for her to calmly invite him inside, as expected.

‘Is it strange to be normal?’
He practiced looking at Chae Yoon’s pictures, but even that was a bit hard as he was this close to Chae Yoon.

Jae Oh’s face creased.

It seemed like all the practice up until now had been a waste of time.

Really, my body, my mind, nothing goes as planned in any situation, causing my chest to feel suffocated.

Jae Oh exhaled lightly and then asked the question he had wanted to ask the most.

“What did you mean when you said you weren’t in a relationship with Im Hyun Min last time?”
Chae Yoon, who hadn’t been able to look at Jae Oh, stared at him.

Chae Yoon thought that the reason Jae Oh kept calling her and acting strangely was because he heard about her situation with Hyun Min from Ji Pil.

She intended to apologize for the misunderstanding.

However, after hearing his words, it seemed like Jae Oh hadn’t heard anything from Ji Pil.

Which means…

“Did you keep contacting me because you wanted to ask about that?”
“Yeah.”
It was a bit unexpected.

Back then, Jae Oh seemed like he wouldn’t believe anything she said. So, she thought he wouldn’t put much meaning into her words, but he had been contemplating it all along.

Realizing that Jae Oh hadn’t just brushed off what she had said, Chae Yoon felt a slight easing of the hurt she felt when she thought he didn’t trust her.

If she had known this, she would have had a conversation sooner. Then, it might have hurt a bit less.

Chae Yoon felt a little regret about her past behavior of avoiding his calls to avoid getting more hurt, but she thought it was okay now that the misunderstanding was cleared up.

Feeling much more relaxed, Chae Yoon raised her eyes and stared at Jae Oh.

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.”
