“A special relationship… What does that mean?”
“It means I’ve developed an interest in President Han Bomi.”
“What?”
Jae-kyung didn’t create time with Bomi just to have a casual meal. After all, casual wasn’t in Jae-kyung’s nature.
“I saw you coming out from President Hwang Min-jun’s place earlier.”
Bomi, who was pushing noodles into her mouth with chopsticks, froze at Jae-kyung’s direct question. It’s uncertain whether it was fortunate that she didn’t spit out the noodles.
“What’s your relationship with President Hwang Min-jun?”
Bomi’s mouth felt incredibly dry. She gulped down the water in her hand.
Cough.
Despite needing to stay composed, Bomi’s heart pounded fiercely, fearing that she would raise more suspicions.
“Well, you see…”
“Do you know about my relationship with President Hwang?”
Bomi nodded. The long-standing feud between the Sun and Moon factions had been quite famous. Moreover, there were rumors about Bomi going to DoWon Group under a contractual relationship, as well as the stories she overheard in the restroom.
‘Chairman Do’s wife, who is currently managing the chairman’s duties, is involved. It seems Vice Chairman Ha Soo-young pushed for President Hwang Min-jun. What’s their relationship?’
‘Hmm… So what?’
‘Vice Chairman Ha Soo-young apparently hated that woman to an extreme degree. It was said she practically put poison in her food.’
Rumors about Ha Ye-young, who was managing chairman duties and also the wife of Chairman Do Jun-seok, circulated.
“Huh… So?”
“Vice Chairman Ha had a complex because she couldn’t have children. Chairman had an affair and had a child. The chairman is lying in bed now. He must have gained power. Rather than that woman’s lineage, President Hwang Min-jun is more comfortable.”
The current situation at DoWon Group was disadvantageous for Jae-kyung. Most people were more concerned about Ha Ye-young’s intentions than Jae-kyung’s abilities.
President Hwang Min-jun had successfully revived Hwang Construction. There were quite a few executives who supported the promise that President Hwang would pass the next chairman’s position to the Hwang family after the late Chairman Do and Chairman Hwang.
“Then this conversation will be quick.”
“No intention of hiding…”
Bomi swallowed her breath and bit her lips.
“No intention of speaking, either?”
Cough.
Bomi coughed as if the truth had pierced her.
Seems like she’s not good at lying. Jae-kyung smiled, covering his mouth, which seemed transparent due to Bomi’s actions.
“It’s unfortunate about the project you participated in, President Han Bomi. It’s regrettable that we can’t trust the president with maintaining confidentiality as our top priority.”
“Contract… Are you thinking of terminating it? It was a direct contract with DoWon Distribution.”
“As the head of the branch, I have to consider the entire DoWon Group.”
Ugh… It’s infuriating. Bomi clenched her fist, feeling the frustration at Jae-kyung’s arrogant remarks.
“This is unfair. It has nothing to do with NaRae Creative.”
“How do you prove that?”
How annoying… Bomi felt a stifling pressure around her chest.
“President Hwang Min-jun…”
How honest should she be with this person for the sake of NaRae Creative?
“He’s a sponsor. I…”
Bomi hesitated for a moment, lips pressed together.
“My parents are no longer here. They passed away in an accident when I was young.”
“I’m sorry.”
“My maternal uncle was the caretaker of President Hwang’s vacation home. He took me in through that connection. President Hwang was just generous to the employee’s family.”
Bomi herself didn’t know what significance she held for President Hwang Min-jun. Min-jun seemed indifferent during Bomi’s growth, always leaving decisions to her. No, he seemed to indulge Bomi’s stubbornness.
Min-jun had been forceful and angry only once when he encountered pregnant Bomi at the hospital. However, it was only for a brief moment. Min-jun could have found and confined the pregnant Bomi according to his will.
But President Hwang Min-jun didn’t interfere with Bomi giving birth and raising the child. He seemed to have given up on Bomi.
Today, President Hwang Min-jun’s actions were confusing for Bomi as well.
So far, Bomi had only disappointed him, and now, for the sake of NaRae Creative, she was about to disappoint Min-jun again.
“In this collaboration partner selection, can you say that President Hwang Min-jun’s influence was not involved?”
“It has nothing to do with the president. It’s the capability of NaRae Creative.”
Bomi raised her voice, feeling unfairly treated.
“President Han Bomi will have a lot of loyalty to President Hwang Min-jun in the future.”
Bomi stared at Jae-kyung with determination, tightening her grip on the glass in her hand. Bomi’s life had never been controlled by Min-jun.
“Personally, I may have loyalty, but as the representative of NaRae Creative, I am prepared to discard even that loyalty if necessary.”
What would President Hwang Min-jun say about Bomi’s decision…?
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.”
