The morning sunlight was so bright and warm that it completely dispelled Yuna’s miserable feelings from the previous night.
Yuna enjoyed the night with Doyeop. He was someone who warmly embraced her loneliness while maintaining an appropriate boundary.
For the first time, Yuna felt a sense of respect from a man.
Doyeop’s gentle touch, whether caressing her cheek or patting her back, was soft. The eyes that looked directly at her filled her empty heart.
Although she opened her eyes to the morning sunlight filtering through the curtains, she didn’t want to get up and lay restlessly under the blanket. Doyeop embraced her in such moments.
She decided she must make this man hers.
Yuna picked up Doyeop’s phone. Pretending to close her eyes and sleep, she took a selfie of herself. She sent that photo to her own phone. Looking at the picture, she smiled with satisfaction.
Even though she didn’t think such a situation would arise, she needed to find a weakness to keep Doyeop by her side. If there was no weakness, she could create one. That was something she learned from her father.
Smirking meaningfully, Yuna forced herself to get up.
Despite wanting to abandon her job and matchmaking, she couldn’t. Suppressing her disappointment, she lightly kissed Doyeop’s cheek.
“I’ll go home, change clothes, and head to work. I’ll leave first.”
“Sure, see you at the office.”
Even though he couldn’t open his eyes, Doyeop greeted her with a smile.
Yuna was satisfied even with that sight. It seemed like she could now have the love affair she had dreamed of.
She went home, changed clothes, and headed to the office.
“Good morning.”
Yuna entered the office with a unusually cheerful face. Her colleagues responded to her greeting with surprise. During work, Yuna stole glances at Doyeop’s seat.
Until now, she hadn’t cared, but now she felt uneasy seeing Doyeop getting along subtly well with other female coworkers.
What fueled Yuna’s jealousy even more was the slightly flirtatious expressions on the faces of those female coworkers.
During lunchtime, Yuna called Doyeop to the rooftop.
Doyeop, oblivious to Yuna’s discomfort, approached her with a bright smile.
Somehow, Doyeop seemed to think their relationship had changed, starting to mix informal and formal language when talking.
“Did you enjoy lunch? I bought coffee. Do you like an Einspanner?”
While accepting the coffee from Doyeop, Yuna’s face remained tight.
Concerned, Doyeop looked at Yuna.
“Why are you in a bad mood? Did someone upset our Yuna?”
“Do you really not know that right now?”
“I don’t, that’s why I’m asking. There’s a lot I don’t know. Teach me, Yuna.”
Doyeop spoke with aegyo. Yuna’s heart softened at his charming demeanor, but her lips twisted with discomfort at the thought of him being kind to other female colleagues.
“What did you do with Minyoung earlier?”
“Minyoung? Ah, that. Just checked some data for her.”
Smiling as if it was nothing, Doyeop answered Yuna’s questioning gaze.
“Why is Doyeop doing data checks?”
“If you’re colleagues in the same department, it happens.”
Yuna knew too. Conversations colleagues could share. But even though she tried to understand, her uneasy face was unpleasant.
“Aren’t you needlessly causing misunderstandings with Minyoung? Her face turned red.”
“No, she just came in from the cold, so her face turned red.”
“Anyway, don’t give unnecessary attention to other women. No, don’t even talk to them.”
Doyeop grinned in response to Yuna’s frustrated tone and held her hand.
“I know how you feel, Yuna. But I also need to work at the company. What if I can’t talk to other female colleagues who have no feelings? I can’t do that, can I?”
“Don’t act in a way that might cause misunderstandings with other female colleagues.”
“Got it.”
Doyeop gently comforted the upset Yuna. Doyeop was the first person to adapt to Yuna’s moods.
Yuna wanted to keep Doyeop, who seemed to get greedy, by her side.
That evening, at the planning team’s dinner, Minyoung and Doyeop sat at the same table, and Yuna sat at the adjacent table. Doyeop helped the coworkers at his table with their utensils.
When Doyeop accidentally touched Minyoung’s hand, her face turned red again.
Yuna deliberately hit the drink placed in front of Minyoung with her elbow.
“Oh my!”
“Oops! What happened?”
The drink spilled, soaking Minyoung’s skirt.
Minyoung stood up, looking upset. Seeing this, Doyeop took out a tissue and handed it to Minyoung.
Yuna found even this sight unpleasant. However, unable to show her discomfort, she gave Minyoung an apologetic look.
“Minyoung, what should you do since you’re all wet? It’s not going to come off easily.”
While wiping her skirt with a tissue, Minyoung suddenly went to the restroom. Yuna followed her.
In the restroom, Minyoung was vigorously trying to remove the stain from her skirt when Yuna approached.
“Kim Minyoung, you should be more careful. Did you touch Doyeop subtly?”
“What?”
Minyoung widened her eyes in surprise at Yuna’s words. Yuna warned her with a sly smile.
“Don’t spill things on men carelessly.”

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.”
