Overwhelmed by the bombshell news, Manager Kang finally exploded in anger.
Following the nuclear-bomb level news, Manager Kang clutched the back of his neck in a frenzy.
“Can I really go up alone?”
Se Kyung, lying on the bed, asked Tae Jo.
As Manager Kang continued to sigh and grumble, wondering why this was happening to him, Se Kyung struggled to fend off the waves of sleepiness. Having worked all day and then traveled to Gapyeong, her pregnant body seemed unable to resist the fatigue.
Seeing Se Kyung rubbing her sleepy eyes, Tae Jo suggested she go upstairs to sleep first.
Seok Ju also told Se Kyung to head up if she was tired. Manager Kang, feeling sorry for himself, joked about his words being so dull that they induced sleep.
“We’ve discussed the important things already.”
“Where will you sleep, President?”
“I’ll see later. I need to talk with these guys first.”
“Manager Kang seemed quite shocked…”
“He’ll get over it. What can he do? I’m the president.”
Tae Jo patted her body as if to say it’s time to sleep. Se Kyung smiled faintly and closed her eyes, succumbing to sleep.
“…….”
Soon, Se Kyung’s even breathing indicated she had fallen into a deep sleep. Tae Jo watched her for a moment before arranging the blankets and heading downstairs.
Seok Ju, thinking they wouldn’t be able to continue the conversation sober, had brought a bottle of soju to the table.
Manager Kang, still in shock, kept wiping his face and mumbling like a madman.
“Se Kyung is dating Tae Jo. The sister-in-law already knows, and they’re having a baby before getting married…”
Seok Ju patted the groaning Manager Kang’s shoulder. Tossing some dry snacks into his mouth, he turned to Tae Jo.
“Se Kyung’s asleep?”
“Yeah.”
As Tae Jo sat opposite him, Woo Hyun glared at him.
“You, seriously… planning to hit a triple score?”
“Since when is dating a disaster?”
“If it were someone ordinary, I wouldn’t say a word. But dating our company’s actress… Not just dating, but marriage and a baby?”
“…….”
“Hey, you jerk!”
Woo Hyun hurled a cushion at Tae Jo, who casually caught it and stared back.
“Be quiet. Se Kyung is sleeping.”
“So, her sleep is important, but you don’t care about your friend’s mental state?”
Woo Hyun ground his teeth. Seok Ju calmly opened the bottle of soju and poured a drink for Tae Jo.
“It is unexpected, though. I knew you’d find someone and get married someday, but I never thought it’d be Se Kyung.”
Seok Ju’s calm statement made Woo Hyun furrow his brows.
“I’m surprised you’re so unfazed. I was shocked, but you seem indifferent.”
“Me? No, I was shocked too.”
Where? Woo Hyun scanned Seok Ju. Different from others, was he? Not a flicker of emotion for someone who was ‘shocked’?
“You call this a reaction for being shocked?”
“How should I react, then?”
“Like me. Sighing, muttering like a madman, taking it out on Tae Jo.”
“Eh. My position is different. Se Kyung is a junior I cherish, and Tae Jo, before being a president, is a long-time friend. If one of them was a complete scoundrel, I’d worry and intervene, but that’s not the case.”
“So, you’re saying…”
…I look like the scoundrel, huh, you content bear.
“Of course, I’m not without concerns. Talk of premarital pregnancy and marriage will attract gossip. But personally, it’s a happy occasion. Two people I know are getting married and having a child. Se Kyung’s not too young, she started working at twenty. And didn’t they look good together earlier?”
They matched well, but… Hey, this isn’t right! How do we handle this? There weren’t even any rumors about Se Kyung’s romance! Announce marriage and then immediately reveal a pregnancy? Huh?”
“Hey, aren’t celebrities human too? When people fall in love, it’s natural that they might have a child before marriage. That can happen.”
“This complacent bear, talking so easily because it’s not his problem. What about the agency’s phones blowing up, dealing with Tae Jo’s personal information leaks, and catching the trolls on Se Kyung’s articles?”
“That’s for you, who earns a high salary, to handle…”
“Are you asking for a fight?”
Woo Hyun glared as if about to grab Seok Ju by the collar, who then closed his mouth and protested weakly.
“Still, it’s not a bad thing. They’re getting married and having a child because they want to. What’s wrong with that? The real issue is with people who have kids and can’t take responsibility, right?”
“Who said it’s bad? I’m happy for that Buddha-like guy getting married. But! Can’t they proceed step by step? After living like a monk for 9 years, has he lost all self-control? Why rush like a wild horse with its reins cut loose?”
Woo Hyun sneered at Tae Jo. Despite venting his frustrations, having said what was on his mind seemed to have lightened his mood.
“So, what are you going to do now?”
“I told you. I’m marrying Se Kyung.”
“Is saying you’ll marry enough? What about the wedding? How long has she been pregnant?”
“She’s three months pregnant.”
“What? Already? When’s the wedding? Wait, the sister-in-law knows, but have you informed your parents?”
“I’ve met Se Kyung’s mother, and I plan to meet my parents after the drama ends.”
After the drama? Wouldn’t that be about four months into the pregnancy?
“Hmm.”
Woo Hyun groaned, crossing his arms. No matter how much he thought, the timing seemed tight.
He rubbed his forehead, as if his head ached.
“Ah, Tae Jo. Are you a president or an enemy?”
“For now, since he pays your salary, he’s your president.”
Seok Ju, sipping his drink, cheekily replied.
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.”
