Yuna and Hyeongjin were sitting face to face in a franchise cafe in front of the company.
Hyeongjin sipped on his citron tea and observed Yuna.
Yuna stared at Hyeongjin intensely without even touching the flat white in front of her.
“If you keep staring like that, I won’t be able to enjoy my tea.”
“So, what business do you have with me?”
“You’re quite impatient.”
“Hey!”
At Yuna’s exclamation, Hyeongjin covered his ears and spoke.
“Don’t shout. It hurts my ears.”
Hyeongjin put down the mug, leaned back on the chair, and clenched his fist.
“Let’s make a deal.”
“What kind of deal?”
“I’ll help you marry Hantae-kyung. Just take care of me properly in return.”
“How will you help?”
Yuna glanced at Hyeongjin as if she couldn’t believe him.
“Because of Kim Seoha and the child, you can’t marry Hantae-kyung.”
“…”
Yuna felt her heart pounding, thinking Hyeongjin might have sensed her feelings.
Without taking his eyes off Yuna, Hyeongjin continued.
“I’ll get rid of Kim Seoha next to Hantae-kyung. Then it’ll be difficult for Hantae-kyung and Kim Seoha to get married.”
“Is that possible? If it were, they would have broken up by now.”
“For Kim Seoha, the child is the most important thing. But if Park Hyeonyeong doesn’t want the child, even if they marry, she won’t be able to bring the child. Will Kim Seoha still want to marry Hantae-kyung under those circumstances?”
“What are you saying?”
Yuna’s voice rose in surprise. She had only thought about separating Seoha from Taekyung, not using Hyunyeong in this way.
Hyeongjin smirked with a cynical smile. He brought up a tempting story to capture Yuna’s attention.
“There are ways to kidnap Kim Seoha and keep her away from Hantae-kyung. Then, if you marry Hantae-kyung without anyone suspecting that you arranged it, it will be perfect.”
“When did I arrange anything?”
“We’re going to do it now. You won’t refuse this proposal, right? No, you won’t.”
Yuna bit her nails. Although she had resolved to separate Seoha from Taekyung, she felt uneasy about putting the plan into action.
“Here’s my business card. Contact me whenever you’re ready. But remember this: the later you contact me, the higher the compensation will be.”
Hyeongjin finished the remaining citron tea, stood up, and left with a wicked smile. Yuna couldn’t leave her seat and stared at the business card Hyeongjin had left.
Despite the unsettling nature of Hyeongjin’s plan, it seemed like a good opportunity for me.
Yuna’s mind was in turmoil.
At that moment, a familiar voice called out to Yuna. When Yuna turned her head to see where the sound was coming from, she was surprised.
“Oh? Assistant Jin!”
“Oh my! Mr. Doyeop.”
Yuna was taken aback as Doyeop smiled brightly at her.
I wonder if he heard the conversation between Hyeongjin and me?
Yuna awkwardly smiled to hide her anxiety and concealed the business card in her hand.
“Oh, you didn’t leave work?”
“I had someone to meet briefly. I’m leaving now. And you, Doyeop?”
“As for me? I just dropped by and saw Assistant Jin, so… Did you have dinner by any chance?”
“No.”
“Then, would you like to have dinner with me? I don’t want to eat alone.”
“Sure.”
Doyeop smiled brightly at Yuna’s acceptance.
The place Yuna followed Doyeop to was a Japanese restaurant. Doyeop, whether a regular or familiar, naturally took a private room. After ordering the meal, Doyeop asked gently.
“Do you want to try warm sake?”
Yuna felt confused looking at the affectionate Doyeop.
Why is this person being nice to me?
Accepting this kindness without any ulterior motives made her uncomfortable.
All the men who had approached Yuna so far had come after calculating her background. They had blatantly revealed their calculations, and Yuna was disgusted by it.
That’s why she was more drawn to Taekyung. He had no interest in Yuna’s background.
Yuna didn’t easily let her guard down.
Maybe he’s trying to approach me while my relationship with Taekyung is strained.
Doyeop, although having a completely different aura than Taekyung, was quite popular in the company with decent looks and friendly charisma.
After a while, a waiter placed two cups of sake in front of Doyeop and Yuna.
Yuna held the warm cup of sake in both hands.
A sip of the sake conveyed warmth to her trembling heart.
“How about it, Assistant Jin?”
“Well, it’s fine.”
Whether it was because of the warmth or not, Yuna’s agitated heart began to calm down.
The sake, sipped slowly, unexpectedly quickly revealed the bottom of the cup. Yuna, thinking of ordering another, was about to ask, but Doyeop smiled and stopped her.
“Sake is surprisingly strong. But you shouldn’t drink too much.”
“Do you think I’ll get drunk after just three glasses?”
“Well, you’ve hardly drunk during company gatherings. I thought you couldn’t drink. If you drink too quickly, you might get drunk all of a sudden.”
Yuna was surprised by the man stopping her from drinking for the first time. She didn’t easily let men approach her, but Doyeop either knew her inner thoughts or just sent a clear smile.
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.”
