After sprinkling chopped green onions and sesame, it was topped with a perfectly placed bright yellow egg yolk—Yeonwoo’s favorite Gwangjang Market-style Yukhoe.
Who brings Yukhoe to the office in the morning!
Trying to quickly clean up before Soojin arrived at work, Junhwi came out of his room and handed him a black bag.
“What, what is it?”
“I went to a meeting in another building and will be back in the afternoon.”
Pushing aside his own words and striding away, Junhwi handed over the bag with an uneasy feeling.
‘Oops!’
He thought so, but it couldn’t be. With only the visible green glass bottle neck, he swiftly opened the bag.
Sashimi appeared, seen in the black bag. With a green glass bottle peeking out, he quickly opened the bag.
Gwangjang Market-style Yukhoe, a soothing combination for Yeonwoo when he feels upset or depressed, is a food pairing he seeks.
Whether to call this thoughtful or just not understanding the points, he really didn’t know.
Seeing him trying to lighten the mood somehow, it seems like he doesn’t take our cold war lightly…
Yeonwoo couldn’t recall how he spent the morning. Annoying yet cute and detestable, he kept coming to mind, and all he could manage was a hollow laugh.
[Let’s talk a bit]Then, looking at the blinking messenger again, it was already afternoon when he saw he was coming back.
[Shall we see at home?] [While eating Yukhoe and Soju]The subsequent text left him speechless again.
What, is he trying to have a physical conversation like at the cruise party, just like last time? That’s out of the question this time.
[Let’s meet outside]Oh. Come to think of it, as if possessed, he found himself replying.
Moreover, without thinking about not seeing, he was naturally contemplating where to meet.
‘I got caught up with Yukhoe and Soju.’
He easily passed by his childish strategy.
⭐⭐⭐
Yeonwoo carefully selected the place for the conversation, the Han River on a summer night.
On a bench where the cool breeze gently blew, the two unraveled their misunderstandings and conflicts.
Despite the absurd ending compared to the scale and duration of the cold war, quick reconciliation was possible due to external factors like Im Nayoon and Kim Seungho.
“He always said to me, ‘Tell me everything,’ but he’s the one with secrets about Jusung Group and the engagement.”
K. Yeonwoo, swallowing soju, narrowed his eyes.
“…Do I need to know anything else? Don’t tell me there’s a kid.”
“Sorry.”
Today, Junhwi, who is usually gentle, sincerely admitted his mistakes. He apologized so much that it was sorry to keep pressing him.
“If you’re sorry, do it well.”
“…I’ll do my best. Should I buy more Yukhoe? Is there anything else you want to eat?”
“Hey, I’m not an easy person to be swayed by what I eat.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Yeonwoo, who was slightly glaring at him, dropped his head on Junhwi’s shoulder. His large hand gently brushed Yeonwoo’s cheek, flushed with alcohol.
“But still, I’m relieved it’s not about dating Im Nayoon.”
“Absolutely. Kim Yeonwoo is my first everything.”
Yeonwoo finally relieved himself of the burden regarding Im Nayoon. Junhwi promised not to play any ridiculous tricks with Kim Seungho in business affairs.
Ah, refreshing! Yeonwoo stood up and stretched.
“So, was today’s conversation enough?”
“Yes. I’m quite satisfied.”
“Then, let’s go home now. Let’s hurry.”
He tidied up the place and stood up, wrapping his arms around Yeonwoo’s waist. His intention to hurry was too transparent.
“Ugh, pervert.”
“Yeah. I’m a pervert. So, do you hate it?”
The strength in Junhwi’s arms holding him increased. Yeonwoo gently freed himself from that arm, changed it to a fist, and chuckled.
“No. It’s totally my style. A good-looking, rich chaebol pervert.”
If we hadn’t reconciled, what would have happened? It’s so good like this.
They walked slowly towards Junhwi’s house near the Han River.
In the quiet residential area away from the riverbank, the cicadas were loudly buzzing. Amid the occasional sound of passing cars, the typical lethargic summer breeze blew.
Yeonwoo, who easily gets cold, liked summer.
A bit hot, but who cares. The refreshing feeling when entering the house after piercing through the warm air, and the leisure of sitting with a cold drink or watermelon, mindlessly flipping through TV channels. It suits summer.
“Lawyer, do you have watermelon at home?”
“I do, but I won’t give you any.”
“What? Why?”
“I’ll be pushed aside until you finish eating watermelon again. I won’t wait anymore.”
Really. I don’t know how to react when he throws such direct pitches. Yeonwoo shook his head and burst into laughter.
This pleasant summer night was much more special with him tonight.
So, the two of them arrived at Junhwi’s house, holding hands tightly.
However, an entirely unwelcome person was waiting for them.
“Junhwi, sir?”
Leaning against the entrance, Inyeong called his name.
⭐⭐⭐
“Im Nayoon, Attorney.”
Staggering movements, disheveled appearance. Even at a glance, Im Nayoon was clearly in a drunken state.
Although Junhwi blocked Yeonwoo’s way, it was too late.
Im Nayoon, alternately looking at Junhwi and Yeonwoo, gradually opened her eyes. She seemed equally surprised as the two.
Incredibly, they’re entangled, really.
Im Nayoon’s trembling eyes soon twisted like a villain scheming a plot.
“You didn’t answer my calls, and the lights at home weren’t on. Did you go out?”
“What do you want?”
“I remembered Mr. Junhwi and came. We had a drink.”
“Get lost. Before I call the police.”
“I have only Mr. Junhwi as an acquaintance in Korea, so I came. Isn’t that too inhospitable?”
In their conversation, Yeonwoo felt like a transparent figure. It was as if Yeonwoo was wedged between them.
Im Nayoon, brushing her disheveled hair, raised the corners of her red mouth with a smirk.
How confident her attitude was. Despite having Yeonwoo next to him, she came to see someone else’s lover without caring.
What does this woman intend by fussing over Junhwi?
If the engagement has been broken for almost ten years and there has been no contact during that time. Why come to the house and act so friendly?
‘This is not right.’
Slowly, a feeling twisted inside. Something hot spread throughout his body, making his spine tingle.
Yeonwoo gently pulled Junhwi’s arm, brushing it affectionately. As if showing it to someone.
“Honey, should I go in first and take a shower?”
Half impulsive, the other half intentional, it was spewed out.
“…”
But seeing Im Nayoon’s expression noticeably harden, there was a sense of accomplishment in provoking her.
“No, no, Attorney Kwon. Oh, what should I do… I made a mistake in front of my colleagues.”
Yeonwoo pretended to be flustered, fanning himself, then stuck out his tongue. Im Nayoon’s forehead crinkled in annoyance.
It wasn’t a mistake. It looked like a deliberate provocation to anyone.
He wanted to make it clear to Im Nayoon, who kept getting involved with someone else’s man.
This man is mine.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

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.
