Although he didn’t consider her a target to be cautious about, he had just realized from Siwoo’s gaze that Oh Hyuna could be harmful to his son.
Hyuna’s reddened gaze deepened a little more due to Junghyuk’s guarded attitude.
“Oppa, let’s talk.”
“…….”
Looking at Hyuna with a guarded expression, Junghyuk turned and gently stroked Siwoo’s head.
“Yoo Siwoo, Mr. Min is waiting outside. Go ask him to borrow his phone for the ‘Yaongpang.'”
“Yes! Goodbye, Director Seonim!”
Excited by the sound of ‘Yaongpang,’ Siwoo bowed crisply. Then, he rushed toward the entrance.
Hyuna’s eyes, which were resentful of Siwoo’s back, became even more intensely red.
“Oppa, we need to talk.”
“Oppa, is this really how it ends for us?”
Despite attempting to remain calm, her voice, for some reason, echoed urgently. Junghyuk wore a puzzled expression and tilted his head slightly.
“What did we, ever start?”
“What are you saying? We decided to get married! Are you really willing to ruin everything just for that woman?!”
“Oh Hyuna. Let’s talk about Myunghan and Hansong only.”
Junghyuk, warning uncomfortably about mentioning Da-jeong and Siwoo, was ignored by Hyuna.
“Is that woman so amazing? Just who is she?!”
“She’s my son’s mother and the woman I love.”
“Then what am I? What about us?!”
Junghyuk sighed heavily. The conversation, repeating like a broken record, began to feel tediously redundant over time.
“Oh Hyuna. You keep talking as if you and I had something special.”
“We were about to get married! Of course, that’s special!”
“We were about to get married. In other words, we briefly got involved out of necessity and almost became a couple.”
“Because of that woman… Oppa, how can you do this to me?”
“Why not? Did I ever make sweet promises of love and hold your hand even once? But there’s a child between me and that woman. Not you, but the woman you’re talking about is extraordinarily special to me. Understand?”
Disgraced, Hyuna bit her lip.
“All because of that woman… Don’t stay still. I won’t let that woman be. I won’t let her.”
“…….”
Only belatedly did Junghyuk realize the meaning behind the murmuring sounds. His long legs unconsciously stretched forward, surprising Hyuna and narrowing the gap as he pushed her against the wall.
“Oh Hyuna. Say it again.”
His tone was dry, but there was a sufficient threat in his words.
“I won’t… stay still… What are you going to do?!”
Even with a faintly frightened expression, Hyuna defied Junghyuk. Looking at her with a silent gaze, Junghyuk grabbed his phone. Then, manipulating something, he showed her the screen.
Seeing the screen recording, Hyuna’s composed demeanor crumbled.
“W-what are you doing now?”
“Say it again.”
“…….”
As he pressed the recording device against her, Hyuna tightly sealed her lips. Junghyuk, swallowing another sigh, put the phone back into his pocket.
“What will you do if I don’t stay still?!”
“I… I’ll somehow get you back, oppa.”
Stepping back a few paces, Junghyuk sighed deeply once again. Hyuna was beyond salvation.
“Fine. If that’s your will, what can I do? Fighting.”
In his supportive tone, there was a trace of despair and resignation.
“But Oh Hyuna. If anything happens between my child and his mother in the future, I’ll be suspicious of you first. And if your actions are wrong, you’ll die at my hands. So, think a hundred times before doing anything. Got it?”
“Oppa!”
“Then, Director Seonim. Goodbye.”
Tilting his head, he abruptly turned away. His turned back showed no trace of any emotion whatsoever.
It was awkward. Until now, she had always seen only that back view, so why did that cold back seem so cruel as if she were seeing it for the first time? Realizing this fact, tears welled up in her eyes, now burning with warmth.
Hyuna clenched her fist tightly. Her sharply manicured nails cut sharply into her palm.
This can’t happen. For the past ten years, she had run only looking at one person, and it couldn’t be snatched away so futilely.
Ding-dong. The doorbell rang clearly.
Sol, who was taking orders, looked up, and a stylish man walked in at the cafe entrance, holding his son in his arms.
Sol let out a laughter-like sigh. Whether it was because she hadn’t stepped on the ground or raised a child, she didn’t know how to put Siwoo down.
Even for a moment, she didn’t want to let go like that. Without Siwoo, she didn’t know how she had lived for the past five years.
“Auntie! Siwoo had a good day at kindergarten. Say hello to your uncle.”
Approaching the counter, Siwoo greeted while still being held by Junghyuk. As usual, Sol responded with greetings, pretending to be happy.
“Yay, our Siwoo is here!”
“Hello, Siwoo. Siwoo is always polite today.”
At the cuteness of the friend’s son that appeared one day, Junho also laughed heartily.
Junghyuk grinned with his phone against his ear. He kept trying to make a call, but the call wouldn’t connect. Giving up, he pocketed his phone and asked.
“Can you reach Yuda-jeong?”
At this unexpected question, Sol’s face showed a puzzled expression.
“Oh, yes… She said she got busy. She might not answer now. She said to call her later.”
Mumbling vaguely, Sol nodded as Junghyuk accepted it. Then, his gaze, which had been glued to Sol, turned to Junho.
Despite being a friend’s son who appeared one day, Junho’s cuteness made Jungho laugh heartily, too.
“It looks like he’s settling here?”
With a somewhat pitiful look, Jungho, shaking his head, sneered at Junghyuk. Junho responded with a familiar smile, but somehow, Sol felt a strange atmosphere.
Maybe because Da-jung wasn’t there. Without Da-jung, Siwoo’s father seemed like a man who daily bickers, unlike when he was with Da-jung.
Trying to change the topic quickly, Sol turned to Siwoo.
“It’s snack time for Siwoo, right? How about choosing a snack with Auntie?”
“Yes!”
Handing Siwoo over to Junghyuk, Sol took Siwoo to the showcase. A short while later, Siwoo was served with a slice of cake and milk as a snack.
Siwoo ate heartily, and Junghyuk looked at him with satisfaction. Meanwhile, Junho and Sol were fully engaged in their love play.
At that moment, Ding-dong, the sound of the doorbell rang. Siwoo, who had been setting up a radar even while eating, was the first to react upon seeing the person who entered through the door.
“It’s Grandma Kkoppuni!”
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.”
