Manager Hong spoke with a martial arts style.
“Yeah. Rather than calling K an expert, he’s more like a swindler…”
Tae-seok ignored it.
“!”
“Did you grab Yeoreum’s wrist?”
Tae-seok bowed his head and wiped his chin with his foot. He was suppressing his anger, fearing that it might explode if he looked at Ji-hyuk’s face directly.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Ignoring Tae-seok’s efforts, Ji-hyuk answered indifferently.
“I just greeted my sister. I don’t know what you’re talking about, grabbing another person’s woman’s wrist. Even if I punch you in the head right now, it’s a greeting. This guy.”
Manager Hong grabbed Tae-seok’s arm from behind.
“Tae-seok, you said you’d endure it!”
Tae-seok barely regained his composure.
Holding his fist, he said, “We’ll file a complaint with the CCTV data and Yeoreum’s testimony. Coercion, sexual harassment. It’s advisable to hire a lawyer in advance.”
“Can’t you give up on anything, bro?”
“What?”
“Don’t mess around with my sister if you’re serious.”
“Is this guy crazy?”
That was when.
Manager Moon, who had been looking for Ji-hyuk since earlier, spotted them and rushed over. Sensing an unusual atmosphere, he stepped in between Ji-hyuk and Tae-seok, speaking quite sternly.
“Hey, what are you two doing, grabbing a kid? Go away!”
Feeling like a student who had his money taken by a little kid with a runny nose, Manager Hong tried to justify himself with an awkward expression. However, Manager Moon, whose weight exceeded 100kg, pushed his shoulders and took Ji-hyuk away.
Manager Hong chuckled.
“These kinds of people are everywhere.”
“Get ready to be sued, Manager Hong.”
Tae-seok spoke with an unwavering voice. Just because Ji-hyuk escaped this situation with my manager acting as a shield didn’t mean it was over.
Tae-seok’s revenge had just begun.
Nevertheless, Tae-seok was gentle. After finishing filming, he asked what she did while waiting for Ji-hyuk, kissing her eyes and cheeks as she waited.
Yeoreum answered that she watched the sea and read a book.
“Must have been boring.”
“No.”
In reality, it was quite a good time. Watching the sea allowed her to cast away all worries and troubles.
Although she couldn’t tell Tae-seok, as the filming was coming to an end, Yeoreum became increasingly anxious.
The end of filming meant the drama’s broadcast was approaching, and the approaching broadcast meant the writer receiving a report card. Her throat felt dry.
Public response, viewership ratings, and popularity – there wasn’t a single aspect that didn’t make her nervous.
“It was good. Really.”
“Sorry for making you wait.”
She wanted to ask if he had fought with Ji-hyuk, but Yeoreum, afraid of the answer, couldn’t bring herself to speak. She lingered around Tae-seok, glancing at him as he changed his clothes and washed up briefly. Tae-seok noticed her hesitation and laughed heartily.
“I didn’t hit him.”
“Maybe the atmosphere on the set is a mess…”
“We didn’t fight.”
“…”
“Let’s eat. What do you want me to make?”
“I’ve prepared it!”
The dinner menu Yeoreum had prepared in advance was more delicious than she had thought. Pork steak, salad, and a bit of fried rice.
“You’re good at this, our Yeoreum.”
Tae-seok praised.
“The best-fried rice I’ve ever had.”
He knew that his cooking was far from the quality of dishes Tae-seok made, but he had no reservations about the praise.
“Do you want some fruit?”
“No.”
Tae-seok did the dishes and sat next to Yeoreum.
“I want something other than fruit for dessert.”
“What else?”
Pretending not to understand, Yeoreum casually asked. Tae-seok approached Yeoreum and whispered in her ear.
“Well, what is it?”
“…”
“The easiest thing you can give? Like something you don’t have to wash and peel, like fruit.”
Yeoreum, shocked, moved away as much as possible from Tae-seok. Tae-seok found her reaction cute and chuckled.
Yeoreum turned her head to the window, hiding her flushed face.
“What are you looking at?”
“The sea.”
“You can see that? It’s pitch black.”
Tae-seok joked, running after the frightened Yeoreum.
“Are you going to give it to me? What I want.”
Tae-seok brushed off Yeoreum’s ear and spoke playfully, “Well, what on earth…?” He stopped teasing when he saw Yeoreum’s face turning red.
“Potato snacks.”
“What?”
“Just tear open the bag. How convenient is that?”
After realizing what she had fallen for, Yeoreum bit her lips. She jumped up to escape, but Tae-seok gently restrained her.
“Come here. I’ll consider your next project, as promised last time.”
As soon as the topic of work came up, her interest was piqued again. Eventually, Yeoreum approached with a tablet.
“This time, it’s a romantic comedy.”
“Okay.”
“We haven’t started yet.”
“I like romantic comedies.”
Yeoreum pouted.
“Oh. Right. Seo Tae-seok is good at rom-coms. Really.”
For some reason, it bothered her. In this work, fortunately, the love lines were twisted, but eventually, Seo Tae-seok would do another drama, undoubtedly be the lead, and of course, there would be kiss scenes…
Yeoreum shook her head. Once she started feeling jealous, it never ended. She knew how brilliantly Seo Tae-seok shone in romantic comedies. She was well aware of his perfect chemistry with any female co-star.
…And he takes amazing kiss scenes. A renowned ‘kiss master.’
Countless unforgettable scenes he created played endlessly in her mind.
It wouldn’t work today. Yeoreum nervously closed the tablet.
“Okay, forget it. I won’t say anything.”
“Why?”
“I won’t do a rom-com. Want to have a beer.”
“Why are you like this? If I did something wrong, tell me.”
But Yeoreum never spoke. She never wanted to be caught in her narrow jealousy. She quickly changed the subject.
“Oppa, what’s your next project?”
“I haven’t thought much about it.”
“A drama?”
“I don’t know.”
“Romance?”
“I don’t know.”
In the end, Yeoreum brought up the topic of work again.
“I’m preparing two projects: a romantic comedy and a historical drama. I want to do the historical drama more, but there’s a lot to prepare, so it might take a while. Rom-com has a light and bouncy theme, making it easier to handle, but casting is a bit of a concern…”
Tae-seok looked at Yeoreum lovingly, nodding his head.
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.”
