“Oh, and contact President Park for lunch appointments. I have something to discuss with him.”
“Yes. I’ll contact President Park to rearrange the schedule.”
“Good job. You can go now.”
As if finishing what he had to say, Jinwook turned his gaze back to the documents. Minhee, after observing him for a moment, softly said a few words.
“…I’m glad Madam has returned.”
“…”
“I was worried that Director might not come back at all.”
For a moment, Jinwook’s expression sharply changed. He looked at Minhee directly and said.
“How did you know my wife came back? I never mentioned it.”
“Ah…”
Minhee replied with a slightly flustered face.
“Director’s expression… seemed different.”
Other people might not have noticed, but in Minhee’s eyes, Jinwook’s expression subtly changed. The anxiety and loss that had been on his face when Yeonju disappeared disappeared, and in their place, a sense of calm and ease settled.
Even without anyone telling her, Minhee could tell. From the moment Jinwook returned to work, she immediately knew. He didn’t come back alone.
At his words, Jinwook’s expression stiffened.
Could he read from his expression that Yeonju had returned?
Suddenly, Yeonju’s words came to mind.
“I’m just expressing the emotions I honestly feel. To me, it didn’t look like a simple relationship between a boss and a subordinate.”
Recalling those words, Jinwook spoke with a cold gaze.
“Ms. Joo Minhee, I must have clearly said it.”
“…”
“In the future, don’t concern yourself with my wife or household affairs.”
The strong voice continued.
“By saying ‘don’t concern,’ I mean, don’t show any interest.”
At his words, confusion spread across Minhee’s face. She immediately lowered her head.
“If it made you uncomfortable, I apologize. I will be more careful in the future.”
“Leave.”
Jinwook’s gaze turned cold. Minhee bowed once again and left.
After leaving the home office, Minhee passed by the secretary’s desk and headed somewhere. She stopped at the downstairs supply room.
Confirming that no one was in the supply room, Minhee made a phone call. After a few dial tones, a confident voice rang in her ears.
[Hello.]“Yes. Madam. I’m here.”
Minhee calmly continued her next words as always.
“Director came to work exactly at 8 a.m. today.”
One afternoon, Yeonju was tidying up the house.
Yeonju had always liked cleaning. Seeing a space cleared and neatly organized somehow made her feel refreshed and cleared her mind.
Especially when her head felt stuffy, she would organize even unnecessary places to settle her mind.
Today, the housekeeper took a day off, making Yeonju busier. Continuing with household chores since the morning, Yeonju paused while organizing the bookshelf in her room.
The book in her hand was one she purchased in Rome, a book on ancient art history. Most of the books she owned were related to art history.
Yeonju flipped through the book. There were parts she had read countless times, and there were parts she deemed important enough to underline with a pen.
As memories of the time she tried new challenges while reading this book resurfaced, her heart began to pound.
After marrying Jinwook and preparing for pregnancy, she had given up all her dreams. Now, there was no need for that.
Yeonju contemplated what path she truly wanted to take. It was no longer a path for others but a path she wanted to walk for herself.
It was a moment when she was deeply engrossed in her thoughts.
“Rrrrr, Rrrrr.”
Upon hearing the ringing bell, Yeonju took out her phone from her pants pocket. As soon as she saw the caller ID displayed on the screen, her expression hardened.
[Grandmother]Knowing that Yeonju had returned, Kyungok had been calling for the past few days.
Kyungok and Daehan were the ones who left with Yeonju, those who had left in their hearts when they left Jinwook. They were people who had decided not to see him again.
However, avoiding them was not possible. Before they reached out to Jinwook again, she had to make a decision herself.
She was already mentally prepared. Now it was time to show it through her actions.
With a resolute expression, Yeonju answered the phone.
“Hello.”
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.”
