“But Mom, do you think Jiho will feel burdened if he knows you like him? Moreover, now that Jiho knows you’re Isu’s sister, I don’t know how Jiho will react.”
Sumin also sighed as if she was frustrated.
“Now they’ve only met for just two months. If they understand each other’s personalities and find out they don’t match, they might break up soon. Mom also did that, right? The two of them could break up like that.”
“No, then are you saying you’ll really wait until Jiho breaks up with Isu?”
Sumin was flabbergasted.
The talk about the two breaking up was meant to comfort the crying Yumi, not a genuine suggestion to wait.
“Yeah.”
“Where in the world will you find a man other than Jiho? This is not like you to be so persistent!”
“It’s not like I can do what I want. What can I do if I can’t give up?”
Sumin realized it would be useless to say more and remained silent.
The fact that Jiho’s girlfriend turned out to be Isu had bothered Sumin’s heart.
I don’t know how long they’ll continue to see each other, but I wondered what would happen if they mentioned marriage. If Yeon-su knew this fact, she would have already asked Sumin about Isu. Seeing that she didn’t say anything, it seemed she hadn’t caught on yet. Jiho would also have been uncomfortable talking about such a complicated relationship.
“Well, let’s put it on hold for now. Just in case there are seats available for the direct flight. If not, we can take a connecting flight.”
Sumin clicked on the reservation waitlist while looking at the stubborn Yumi.
“It would be nice if we could take the same flight as my brother, but even if not, I’m fine. We can just meet there. While we’re in London, are we staying at Aunt Yeon-su’s house?”
“That’s what she said, but I don’t know if we should book a hotel. It might be too much to stay for a whole week. Do we really have to bother her that much?”
“If Aunt says so, let’s do that. Staying in a hotel is not much different from being here. It’s just like living in the same house with my brother for a week. Right? Mom, please!”
Yumi grabbed Sumin’s arm and begged, hanging onto it.
“Yumi, if a guy sees a girl cling like this, he’ll run away. If you really like Jiho, don’t make it too obvious.”
Sumin said a word to relieve the frustrated Yumi.
“I know. I’m doing that too. I’ll do well this time when we go.”
Yumi extended her lower lip and nodded determinedly, as if making a promise.
She would sleep with Jiho every day in the same house, have meals with the family, and perhaps, they would tour together for the first time in London.
Just thinking about it made her heart flutter with excitement.
They say there is always a way out even when the sky is falling.
For Yumi, this trip to London felt like a gift from heaven.
“Isu, I’m trying to book a train to Paris right now. How long will you stay in London?”
Jiho, with the Eurostar booking screen displayed on the monitor, called Isu.
Since Jiho had been to Paris several times, he decided to plan this trip.
“Oh, well. About a week?”
“A week…”
Jiho’s words trailed off with a somewhat disappointed feeling.
Although the overall schedule was two weeks, staying a week in London meant that the time available for travel was only a week.
‘If I say I want to spend less time with Mom, will Isu feel upset? If we’ve been there before last winter, it hasn’t been a year yet. Do we really need to stay in London for a week?’
From the beginning, Jiho knew that this trip wasn’t what Isu wanted, so it wasn’t easy for him to suggest extending the travel period.
Since the flight was already booked, it couldn’t be reversed, but determining the date to move to Paris was challenging.
“Can’t you make it shorter? I want to travel for about ten days.”
“Ten days? Weren’t we supposed to go only to Paris?”
A package European tour usually takes about two weeks, including a tour of Europe for a fortnight, but staying in Paris for ten days alone seemed too long.
Having to spend ten days with Jiho for 24 hours was honestly burdensome. Despite deciding to travel swept away by the atmosphere, I haven’t told Wonjin yet. I haven’t even thought about what to say to Hyejin. Should I lie and say I’m traveling alone, or should I honestly say that I’m going with my boyfriend?
“There’s a lot to see in Paris. There are many places to visit nearby.”
While the schedule was flexible, Jiho was eager to extend it by even a day. He wanted to suggest briefly stopping in London and then heading straight to Paris. However, he couldn’t bring himself to say that to Isu; it seemed like an unreasonable request.
“Well…”
As the original purpose of going to London seemed to fade, Isu’s dilemma prolonged.
“Isu, can’t we postpone the return date right now?”
If they had to stay in London for a long time, they could simply delay the return date. Jiho preferred that because it meant he could see Isu every day while in London.
“Yeah, that’s inconvenient… Well, okay then. Let’s go for ten days.”
After much hesitation, Isu eventually conceded to Jiho’s suggestion. The original plan was to go to Paris on the way to meet Hyejin in London, but somehow, the whole situation had completely changed.
As soon as he heard Isu’s response, Jiho entered the dates and clicked the mouse. He deliberately chose an early morning departure time for the train.
Considering that it takes about two and a half hours from London to Paris, they could have lunch in Paris on that day.
A satisfied smile appeared on Jiho’s face after completing the reservation.
“Reservation complete.”
“Thank you.”
It was also a rare trip for Isu. The last trip Isu went on was just before going to London in middle school, and it was a trip to Jeju Island.
After entering Wonjin’s house, except for a math trip at school, Isu hadn’t gone on any trips.
At that time, Wonjin expanded the scale of the hospital and also engaged in beauty business, becoming extremely busy. Isu couldn’t join the vacation of the three who went on a trip while Yumi and Sumin went on a resort vacation.
During the break, going to London for a few days was Isu’s only vacation.
“Okay. I’ll take care of everything else.”
Jiho quickly finished booking Eurostar and started searching for a place to stay in Paris.
A smile lit up Jiho’s face as he chose a hotel in Paris displayed on the monitor.
“Oh… yeah. Let me know when you’re done.”
Since deciding to go on a trip, the biggest concern for Isu was the accommodation issue. However, Jiho didn’t consult or discuss anything about the accommodation.
‘Now, is it just obvious that we’re staying together?’
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.”
