As he looked at his phone, an email notification popped up. The sender was… Kim Yeon Woo.
What could she have sent? He opened the email, and his eyes instantly blazed with immense rage.
“These damn… both of them!”
The email from Yeon Woo contained CCTV footage. It showed the part where Cha Han Bin aggressively pushed her against the wall in the emergency staircase.
Already tormented enough by Kwon Jun Hwi, and now she had to stir things up too.
His breath caught as he watched the blurry screen, clearly showing his face in the footage.
As he roughly yanked his neatly tied tie, the door opened with a knock, and the sender of the email entered.
“Attorney Cha Han Bin. Are you busy? I have something to discuss.”
“…”
Maybe she’s easier to deal with than Kwon Jun Hwi. After all, she’s been easily fooled for so long.
Seeing Yeon Woo tense, Cha Han Bin quickly buried his true feelings deep down and feigned a defeated expression.
“Yeon Woo, I was just about to come see you. Let’s sit down and talk.”
Yeon Woo, who had boldly come to see him, was only fidgeting with her fingers, unable to start the conversation.
“I saw the email you just sent. …I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say, Yeon Woo.”
Cha Han Bin took the initiative. Yeon Woo flinched and cautiously looked at him.
“I must have been crazy at that time, thinking I had to do anything to lead the negotiation to our advantage. I couldn’t sleep well after doing such a terrible thing to you that day. I’ve really reflected a lot.”
“…Do you really think so?”
“Of course, Yeon Woo. Even if I was crazy, I’m not a piece of trash who can’t distinguish right from wrong. You know, we have a bond of over 20 years.”
Innocent Kim Yeon Woo. Her eyes reddened again as he mentioned the past.
Why, does it remind you of your bitter first love?
“I’m going to confess everything since I remembered it. The timing is really incredible, and I’ve never resented it as much as these days.”
“What do you mean?”
“If we had, no, if I had noticed your feelings earlier then[Dash].”
“Let’s not talk about that anymore, brother.”
“Okay, okay. It’s uncomfortable. Sorry.”
Is that still your trauma? Cha Han Bin scoffed inwardly.
“I fully understand why you sent me that video.”
“…That’s a relief. This makes things easier.”
“You’re giving me a chance, aren’t you? That’s why you sent it to my personal email instead of the company’s. Right, Yeon Woo?”
Cha Han Bin grabbed Yeon Woo’s arm on the table without giving her a chance to answer and continued.
“Like a reborn person, I will never harm you or Attorney Kwon again. Trust me. I’m really sorry.”
“Ah…”
“Yeon Woo, please. Can you persuade Attorney Kwon?”
“What persuasion?”
“I’m being threatened, Yeon Woo.”
I heard he was cruel and scary, but I never thought he’d wield such power over someone’s life.
Cha Han Bin’s voice trailed off as he heavily dropped his head. Yeon Woo’s arm, which he held forcibly, was trembling gently.
“Threatened? You’re being threatened by that person?”
“Don’t disappear, or else he’ll fabricate things I never did and sue me. You know, Attorney Kwon still has a lot of power in the prosecution.”
Foolishly, Kim Yeon Woo seemed to believe him easily. Her eyes, wide with imminent tears, shone anxiously.
You’re fooled again, so naive.
“I know. I did wrong. But, still, to be framed for crimes I didn’t commit and become a criminal… That’s not right, Yeon Woo. Please talk to him. I’m really reflecting. Okay?”
“I’ll talk to him, tell him not to sue.”
Sighing as if moved, covering his mouth with both hands would complete the ‘repentant person’ image.
I should have targeted this innocent girl from the start. Cha Han Bin desperately concealed his spreading, satisfied smile.
“Thank you, Yeon Woo! Really, thank you.”
“Fine. We can sue later.”
“…What?”
“I have something else I want to do first, so we can delay the lawsuit. I’ll tell them not to proceed for now.”
Did I hear that correctly?
Cha Han Bin doubted his own ears.
Kim Yeon Woo in front of him still looked deeply upset, gazing at him with affection.
“A lawsuit only sorts out right and wrong legally. Then who will soothe my feelings of being deceived, wronged, and angry… I have to take care of my emotional satisfaction myself.”
“What are you talking about, Yeon Woo?”
“Exactly what I said. But why did that person act first without telling me? Sending me a ‘cool’ response like that, really.”
The pretense of a gentle expression disappeared instantly.
Gritting his teeth, Cha Han Bin’s grinding sound was menacing.
“I’ve been thinking hard about what you really fear.”
“Kim Yeon Woo.”
“The life of Cha Han Bin, seemingly perfect in ability and character, turns out to be all pretense. You feared being exposed, right?”
“Hey!”
“I’m warning you. Leave Lo and Yul within a month. I hope I never have to see you again.”
Finally, Cha Han Bin, who had been chuckling, stood up abruptly.
“You, what right do you have to tell me to leave Lo and Yul! What will you do if I don’t?”
Where did this confidence come from? Yeon Woo was not at all scared by the imposing figure glaring down at her.
“If you don’t leave, I’ll spread that CCTV footage to everyone we know.”
“That’s your grand plan? Kim Yeon Woo. Going tattling to our mothers like a child? Oh, I’m so scared.”
“Why would I show it to our mothers? I’m going to post it on the bulletin board of Yoon Ji Woo’s company.”
Now it seems even more ruthless than Kwon Jun Hwi.
Cha Han Bin was speechless, repeatedly rubbing his face as if washing it dry.

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.”
