Sukyung, who was spending time in the lounge, had a face that seemed to be bored to death.
Unlike Sukyung, who showed no signs of tension or interest, her counterpart approached with a highly courteous attitude.
Sukyung looked at the man in front of her, twisting her hair around her finger and raising her eyebrows.
Double eyelids, thick eyebrows, tall stature, and a solid build; he was the type that could be considered sturdy and handsome. Of course, currently, no matter who it was, Sukyung’s heart wouldn’t be touched.
In fact, if it weren’t for Kwon Dojun, this blind date wouldn’t have happened. The statement that he volunteered was accurate. He wanted to resist the pain of hurting himself.
He believed that after ten dates, he could open up and enter his heart. Only after experiencing the moments of trust twice did he realize that the emotions he felt that day were deep scars, like wounds engraved by a sharp knife.
What were the emotions he felt that day? Was it distrust toward him, whom she had tried hard to suppress? Or was it the betrayal of a man who was never sincere in any moment, even when suggesting to be together and kissing affectionately?
Whatever it was, the trust built over a period had crumbled. Even though she was so attached to someone else, how could she believe in the words coming to her?
“Ms. Sukyung, did I say this?”
At the voice of the man facing her, Sukyung’s gaze, which had been immersed in contemplation, suddenly lifted.
“What are you talking about?”
“Ms. Lee Sukyung, my ideal type.”
Sukyung blatantly revealed her boredom. Although she came to the blind date under her parents’ coercion, she felt no enthusiasm.
She simply wished fervently inside. She hoped this time would pass quickly. But her prayers were in vain.
It was like the appearance of a savior, unexpected from the man she never thought of.
“Honey, who is this man?”
At the absurd words, Sukyung, who had raised her gaze in response, exhaled a fake sigh when she saw the owner of the voice. It was the look of someone seeing a crazy person.
Jounghyuk didn’t care and acted nonchalant.
“Honey, you’re not having another affair, are you? You promised it wouldn’t happen again.”
“Ms. Sukyung. Who is this person?”
The man facing her was simply bewildered. Sukyung just chuckled as if she didn’t know anything, and Jounghyuk pointed the chocolate mousse cake at the blind date man as if to show off.
“Hey, man. Do you know what this is?”
“Yes? Is it a cake…?”
“That’s right. I bought it to celebrate the birth of our second child. Here, on the top floor of this hotel.”
His index finger pointed to the ceiling.
“Se… Se… Second child?!”
The dumbfounded gaze of the blind date man swiftly moved between Sukyung’s face and her slightly bulging belly.
“Ms. Sukyung! Is what he said true?”
“No comment.”
Sukyung said curtly. Amazed by her audacious rather than chic attitude, the man facing her, Jounghyuk, shook the cake box in the direction of the blind date man.
“Man, got it if you understand.”
The man spat out a curse and walked away. Only then did Sukyung open her eyes with dissatisfaction.
“What kind of nonsense is this? Who said anything about someone having a second child with someone?”
“I practiced a bit in preparation for the birth of Yoo Siwoo’s sibling,” he muttered, burying his body in the opposite direction as if speaking to himself.
“Even though I wrote, ‘Please turn it off’ on my face, he couldn’t understand it without any sense. Instead, he turned it off. Aren’t you thankful?”
“Thanks.”
It was Sukyung who admitted what needed to be admitted.
“If you’re thankful, go to the United States. Did you see the proposal last time? Go and finalize the technical patents and corporate establishment.”
“What? I don’t want to. Why should I?”
“When my secretary took the proposal last time, he rejected it because he was about to get married, I heard.”
“Did he?”
“But you got involved with that lumberjack guy.”
Sukyung glanced at him with a teasing look, as if stabbing him.
“But why is Kwon Dojun a lumberjack?”
“You’re stupid.”
Sukyung’s face twisted.
Feeling somewhat struck somewhere, Sukyung turned the topic, saying, “By the way, what was it? Augmented reality integrated home shopping?”
Jounghyuk’s forehead wrinkled. He didn’t like belittling a business that started with an innovative idea as mere home shopping.
“Home shopping? It’s not that simple. What I’m trying to realize is a global shopping network that combines augmented reality with an OTT platform and shopping. Platform viewers can watch dramas and shop at the same time.”
“Oh, a global shopping network.”
Sukyung nodded as if to say whatever. She seemed uninterested. However, when she first saw the proposal, she had thought of it as a clever idea, befitting Jounghyuk.
Jounghyuk continued with enthusiasm, explaining in detail.
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.”
