Yeonju, unaware of what was in the cup, still wore a peaceful smile as she brought the teacup to her lips.
Minhee’s dilated pupils shook violently.
If she drank this, the moment that so many had longed for would disappear.
The fruit of two years of waiting,
The hope that had miraculously come true,
Would vanish like foam.
The image of Jinwook, seen a few days ago in the company, flashed before Minhee’s eyes.
In his home office, Jinwook pretended to read documents while actually looking at an ultrasound picture.
The faint smile that had appeared on his face at that moment passed by in Minhee’s mind.
“Ah…”
It was the moment the teacup touched Yeonju’s lips.
“No!”
Minhee, who had abruptly stood up, snatched Yeonju’s teacup. The cup rolled off the table and fell to the floor.
The spilled drink scattered on the table and floor.
“!”
In an instant turn of events, Yeonju’s eyes widened. Minhee, who had suddenly grabbed it, had spilled the drink all over Yeonju’s clothes.
With a surprised expression, Yeonju asked Minhee, “Why, why are you doing this, Minhee?”
“Ah…”
Minhee let out a rough breath. Her face turned pale.
What am I doing right now?
Too late, waves of shame and regret made Minhee’s face tremble.
“Minhee, are you okay?” Yeonju asked with a concerned look.
Yeonju examined her pale face and asked.
Minhee, with a distracted look, spoke.
“……I-I’m sorry.”
In the midst of darkness, Yeonju’s face gradually came into focus.
Even after spilling the drink all over her face and body, Yeonju prioritized checking on Minhee.
Minhee’s pupils twisted.
“I…”
“…”
“I think I went crazy for a moment.”
Minhee bowed deeply.
“I’m really sorry.”
Minhee left the place just like that.
And she started heading somewhere absentmindedly.
Knock, knock.
At the sound of knocking on the office door, Jinwook spoke up.
“Come in.”
Then came the sound of the door opening, and the click-clack of high heels echoed.
“…Hello, Director.”
The voice echoing in the office was Minhee’s. If there was anything to convey, she would do it herself, so Jinwook didn’t even bother to look up and focused on the documents.
But Minhee, who had entered, didn’t say anything. In the silent room, something was placed on Jinwook’s desk. What lay before him was a white envelope.
Only then did Jinwook’s gaze meet hers. Minhee stood there with a pale complexion. Her expression looked grim and seemed as if she had let go of everything.
Most notably, the strange thing was an unidentified liquid splattered on her clothes. Upon closer inspection, it seemed like spilled milk. It felt strange to see her, who was always neat, in such a state.
“What is this?”
At Jinwook’s question, Minhee slowly spoke.
“It’s a resignation letter.”
Jinwook’s gaze narrowed.
Until yesterday, Minhee had been working diligently, more than anyone else. The reason for her sudden resignation was unknown.
“What’s the reason?”
“…”
Minhee remained silent for a moment.
Like someone who didn’t know where to start or how to speak.
Minhee’s trembling eyes met his. She pulled something out from inside her jacket and placed it in front of Jinwook.
“The reason… is written here.”
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.”
