Before the divorce, they fought every time. He realized too late that the arranged marriage was tailored to conditions, not to matching people. Due to an incompatible wife in every way, he eventually had an affair, and the hurt wife left with their son.
He was grateful that she stamped the divorce seal neatly, but he was resentful that she took their son with her. He was the first grandson of the Seo family. But he thought that it would be enough if she gave birth to another son.
Strangely, Sehee couldn’t get pregnant. It wasn’t the time when there was artificial insemination or test-tube babies.
“Honey, should we adopt?”
It was Sehee who suggested it.
In the end, Iljun gave up on having a baby at Sehee’s suggestion. Although they drew a line not to worry about it anymore, Iljun and Sehee somehow considered it as karma for their own wrongful actions.
“I’ll endure it.”
Iljun, who seemed like he wouldn’t collapse anytime soon, was engulfed by the disease faster than expected. It was obvious what would happen to the company if he collapsed.
In the chaebol world where they would tear you apart at the slightest opening, crumbling like powder was just a matter of time.
Iljun had no choice but to contact Jinwoo. The only person he could trust was his well-established son.
The son, whom he naturally expected to refuse, accepted his request. Iljun thought Jinwoo also had ambitions for the company when he saw him.
However, when they finally met, Jinwoo was completely different from Iljun’s expectations. He had no ambitions for the company.
Jinwoo’s desire was someone inside the company. Iljun was quite surprised by his inexplicable obsession, but apart from the desire, Jinwoo showed competence in management.
He hadn’t done anything as a father.
So, he wanted to pass on the management rights. He thought that was the last thing he could give as a father.
Woo-ung.
The sound of a cellphone woke Iljun from his contemplation.
“Yes.”
Chairman, it’s Attorney Park.
“Okay.”
Jinwoo returned to the company and had a meeting with Attorney Park. If they started the succession step by step, it could be settled within a month.
“Within a month should be enough, right?”
Vice Chairman has expressed refusal for the succession.
“What?”
He said he would not accept the position of chairman.
Iljun was more surprised than ever. His wrinkled face stiffened. Sehee, who was by his side, could tell from his expression that something was wrong.
“What does that mean?”
Between rough breaths, there was a boiling sound.
The vice chairman suggested bringing in a professional manager…
Iljun hung up the phone harshly.
“Dear, are you okay?”
“That brat.”
For some reason, Iljun spat out a curse.
“He deliberately planned to screw me over.”
“What on earth is happening?”
“Bring Seo Jinwoo here. Right away.”
Iljun yelled with a voice that raised blood pressure.
“You’re going to get in big trouble like this. Try to calm down a bit.”
“Bring Seo Jinwoo! Right now.”
Ugh. Iljun, who moaned as if suffering from severe pain, lost consciousness.
“Oh, dear. Dear! Excuse me! Doctor!”
Surprised, Sehee urgently pressed the bell. The footsteps of the medical staff running from the corridor were heard.
It was the end of the workday. Jina finished checking the materials for the takeover and turned off the computer.
“Jina, leaving work?”
“Yeah.”
Jihye, who recently started dating, checked her face by holding up a compact mirror and asked.
“Even without looking, you’re beautiful.”
At Jina’s words, Jihye smiled shyly.
“My honey says the same thing.”
As if she couldn’t stand it, Jina laughed lightly.
“What should we eat for dinner tonight?”
“Do we meet almost every day these days?”
As Jina said, on days without overtime, Jihye, who used to say a day was long, met her boyfriend.
“I never knew when I’d get busy. We should meet often when it’s good.”
“Well, that makes sense. I’m working hard on the takeover materials.”
“Ugh, no, no.”
Blocking her ears, Jihye hurriedly walked ahead as if running away.
“If not you, who else can I ask?”
Jina, with a bright smile, followed Jihye. It seemed her belly was growing, making her walk slower and difficult.
“Yoonju is here. Yoonju.”
“Me?”
Yoonju, carrying a bag, approached in a fresh outfit.
“If it’s Assistant Yoonju’s request, I have to do it.”
Yoonju, with sparkling eyes for some reason, spoke confidently.
“Haha, Yoonju, there’s nothing confirmed yet. Don’t push too hard. It hurts my eyes.”
Yoonju, who was now working hard at the company, had increased a lot compared to the first time. Seeing her working so hard that it made people uncomfortable, the office members started to notice her again.
“I have to work hard too to get promoted. Like the managers.”
Yoonju’s dream made Jina and Jihye smile.
“We were like that in the early days of joining the company, right?”
When Jina asked gently, Jihye remembered a few years ago.
“At that time, working dedicatedly for the company, it felt like succeeding in life once promoted, right?”
The two who met eyes laughed, tilting their heads.
“From a regular slave to a promoted slave.”
“Oh, well, I’m not a slave anymore. I’m a master. Madam.”
Jihye said jokingly, and Yoonju quickly accepted it without waiting for Jina’s reaction.
“Shall we serve Manager Jina with utmost dedication?”
“Oh, stop with the jokes.”
“Not Manager Jina, but Madam.”
The laughter spread in the corridor in front of the elevator. Although the three quickly suppressed their laughter as employees came out one by one to leave work, the cheerful atmosphere couldn’t be hidden.
“Spring has come to the company too.”
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.”
