“Do you think you can sever familial ties? Even a parent who doesn’t seem like one cannot be easily cut off.”
Taekyung was disgusted by Hyunyoung’s incomprehensible advice.
Did she threaten Seoha in the same way five years ago and drive her away? What humiliating things did she say to Seoha?
Taekyung suppressed the rising resentment inside him. Arguing with Hyunyoung wouldn’t change anything.
“Now that I’ve found Seoha again, I must protect her from you.”
“No. I will reclaim Seoha. I have already cut ties with you as a mother. I will protect her.”
On the Thursday of the first coding class, Taekyung appeared typically stoic but was actually somewhat nervous.
Not particularly fond of children, Taekyung had attended many kindergartens for business presentations but had never taught.
The teaching part had always been Gyuwon’s domain.
Worried about Taekyung, Gyuwon also came down to Yangpyeong on Thursday.
“Did you receive the lesson plan from Deputy Yoon?”
“Yes.”
Gyuwon looked more nervous than Taekyung.
“You seem less anxious than a child left by the water.”
Taekyung snorted and confidently walked towards the kindergarten building. Gyuwon shouted after him.
“Hey! Aren’t you going to carry the teaching materials and textbooks?”
Taekyung ignored him and walked away, leaving Gyuwon to sigh and start moving the supplies with Deputy Yoon.
Taekyung entered the creative room first and looked around. Gyuwon and Deputy Yoon followed in, starting to set up for the class.
The class, aimed at young children, started with very simple algorithms. The main activity involved using tablets to manipulate programs featuring cute characters.
Deputy Yoon and Taekyung each took charge of a class, with Gyuwon volunteering as a teaching assistant, worried about Taekyung’s inexperience.
The class Taekyung was in charge of included Chae-eun and Seoha’s “Sky Class.”
Upon entering the creative room with the children, Seoha’s expression turned stern, but she soon began to take care of the children attentively.
It was Taekyung’s first time seeing Seoha at work up close.
To his surprise, Seoha was a much kinder and more caring teacher than he had imagined. The children also seemed to follow her well, making him feel complex emotions.
This Seoha seemed different from the one he knew, who he thought of as a fragile person needing his protection.
However, the Seoha he saw now was strong and competent, firmly taking care of the children.
“Ahem. Hello, children.”
Taekyung, thinking of his niece Jian, used a soft voice he had never employed before. Gyuwon shuddered at the sound.
Could Taekyung really sound so gentle and caring?
Throughout the class, Seoha avoided Taekyung’s gaze, focusing only on the children. Meanwhile, Taekyung couldn’t take his eyes off her.
He successfully completed the first class. Gyuwon breathed a sigh of relief afterward.
Though a bit awkward, it went better than Gyuwon had feared.
The children’s response was positive.
“Teacher! Will you do the coding class next week too?”
“Come again next week!”
“Sure, I’ll teach you well next week.”
As the class ended, some girls even clung to Taekyung, who indulged their whims.
Gyuwon looked at him in surprise.
Seoha bowed slightly and left the classroom with the children.
Taekyung watched her leave with a complex look.
“Taekyung, you’ve changed a lot.”
“What has?”
“You used to dislike kids. I was surprised when you said you’d do this education business.”
“I don’t dislike them.”
Taekyung gathered the teaching materials. Principal Yoonhee entered the creative room.
“You worked hard. The children really enjoyed it.”
“Principal, we tried to tailor it to the children’s level. Any feedback on the program would be greatly helpful for us.”
Taekyung returned to his corporate demeanor.
“Your program is popular in many kindergartens. It was more fun and better than I expected. Would you like to have a cup of tea if you’re not too busy?”
“We need to head back to the company…”
“Why not? Deputy Yoon, President Lee, let’s enjoy the principal’s tea if the cleaning is done.”
Gyuwon was about to refuse, but Taekyung quickly accepted, flashing a grin and escorting Yoonhee to her office. Deputy Yoon followed hesitantly, and Gyuwon, though reluctant, eventually joined in.
In her office, Yoonhee brewed green tea with graceful and dignified movements.
“It’s not very expensive tea, but it tastes good.”
“Thank you.”
“We should be the ones thanking you for giving the children such an opportunity.”
“I’m a businessman, after all. It’s not entirely free. Haha. You’ll have to give us feedback on the program.”
Taekyung chuckled and took a sip of his tea.
Gyuwon and Deputy Yoon quietly listened to the conversation between the two, sipping their tea.
Gyuwon, worried about the meeting scheduled in Seoul, nudged Taekyung’s side, but Taekyung seemed to be deliberately lingering there for some reason.
Suddenly, the door to the principal’s office burst open.
“Principal! I’ve been wronged! Wah!”
The one who entered loudly was Minjun. He hesitated upon seeing Taekyung and the others in the principal’s office.
Then, looking at Taekyung, his expression twisted into a scowl.
Taekyung was irked by the glowering look Minjun gave him.
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.”
