Her hair was tied up, with a few strands falling naturally around her neck, complemented by a simple pearl earring that sparkled with innocence.

This is unfair. It shouldn’t be like this.

Tae-seok frowned again, and Yeoreum took a step back, looking like a frightened rabbit.

“What’s with that dress?”

If she were a rabbit and he were a lion, things might have been easier. He could have simply devoured her in one bite.

“The dress?”

Yeoreum looked down at her outfit, inspecting it. Tae-seok felt a pang in his heart seeing her flustered eyes.

“Yeah. The outfit. Dress casually. No skirts.”

“Ah.”

Yeoreum straightened up after a brief observation.

“Okay. I’m sorry.”

Why sorry? What for? Despite the blatant provocation, why was she apologizing? Tae-seok sighed inwardly and stepped aside.

“Come in.”

As Yeoreum entered and Tae-seok was about to close the door, someone grabbed it from outside.

A surprise visitor in a high-security apartment complex – he turned around.

“Tae-seok, it’s me.”

It was Secretary Kim.

Tae-seok sat at the head of the table, arms crossed, eyes closed. It was a perfect posture to clear his thoughts, but his curiosity about Yeoreum’s expression was unbearable. Cursing internally, he opened his eyes.

The living room, with the three of them sitting together, was filled with an awkward atmosphere.

Yeoreum was staring at the floor, focusing on her toes, while Secretary Kim was busy sending messages on her phone. Tae-seok ignored the secretary, his gaze lingering on Yeoreum’s small shoulders.
The unexpected visit from Secretary Kim was quite displeasing, but Choi Yeoreum’s beauty far surpassed that annoyance. Seo Tae-seok was busy sneaking glances at Yeoreum despite his initial intention to express anger.

Was there honey on her toes? He wished she would briefly lift her head.

Soon, he was hit by the absurdity of his own train of thoughts and laughed at himself self-derisively.

“This is annoying.”

His muttered sincerity was meant for himself, but Secretary Kim startled, starting to apologize.

“Right? It must be unpleasant since I came unannounced. I’m really sorry about that. Truly. I apologize.”

Regardless, Yeoreum remained motionless. Tae-seok slowly came back to his senses, gazing at her profile.

He stared at Secretary Kim.

Her visit was quite out of the blue, feeling like an intrusion on a date.

Was this meeting a date for me? It was a continual state of confusion.

“So, why are you here?”

Tae-seok spoke arrogantly, as if challenging her to provide a good reason for her visit. Unless she had an extremely important issue that required his immediate attention, he had no intention of tolerating any nonsense.

“Seo Tae-seok, it’s risky being alone with a drama writer. I came to stay with you from today on, just in case. If photos are taken, we can say it was a meeting with agency staff. It’s easier to get out of.”

Tae-seok looked at her with undisguised displeasure.

“You’re considering me.”

“Exactly.”

“Whose idea? The president’s?”

He recalled a phone conversation where Ji-hyeon Jeong seemed particularly wary of Choi Yeoreum. Why go to such lengths? It was an unexpected move.

Tae-seok knew Ji-hyeon Jeong as smart, meticulous, and understanding.

“No, it’s not the president’s opinion, just mine. I suggested it.”

“And the president agreed.”

“Just because I insisted too much, that’s all.”

“…”

“For everyone’s good.”

It was a lie.

Secretary Kim was not the type to offer opinions. She was a woman who only accomplished what she was told to do. Tae-seok wondered why Ji-hyeon Jeong was playing such a risky game. To get some clarity, he took a step back.

“Bring some coffee.”

Already unsettled by Choi Yeoreum, now Ji-hyeon Jeong added to his annoyance. Tae-seok walked to the dining room, frowning.

Why interfere in my private life now? Except in cases of social scandal, she never meddled.

Knowing Seo Tae-seok’s personality, why start such a ploy? He couldn’t understand.

Slowly brewing the coffee, he observed the two in the living room.

Yeoreum still stood back like a bystander. And she was beautiful.

The fragrant aroma of Blue Mountain coffee beans filled the room. Suddenly, an intriguing idea crossed his mind.

‘Should I play a little trick?’

An opportunity to shake Yeoreum’s heart unexpectedly presented itself.

With a triumphant smile, Tae-seok approached the living room.

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.”
