As Choi Hyun averted his gaze and spoke as if mumbling to himself, he tugged at Seo Ga Ram’s sleeve.
Seo Ga Ram chuckled dryly at this, resting one hand on his forehead and muttered.
“Where did you learn all this from?”
“Huh?”
“No, not today. I’ll come next time. During the day.”
“In the… day?”
As Choi Hyun asked, puzzled, Seo Ga Ram looked at Choi Hyun’s face and spoke in a chiding tone.
“Choi Hyun, you shouldn’t let a woman into your house at one in the morning. Do you understand? You have no fear, really.”
Seo Ga Ram patted Choi Hyun’s shoulder once before heading home. Choi Hyun was momentarily stunned.
Something was strange, but what was this feeling of being protected?
Yeo Woon had an outdoor shoot scheduled for today. She travelled by car to a quiet region and entered the shooting site with a somewhat nervous expression.
Ever since the day Lee Jin Cheol was expelled, Yeo Woon still felt uncomfortable looking at the faces of the staff.
The fact that those she thought were close to her were badmouthing her behind her back was a great shock.
However, she couldn’t avoid them forever, so Yeo Woon made an effort to enter the set with a smile.
Contrary to her worries, the staff greeted Yeo Woon with smiles. Perhaps they still felt sorry towards Yeo Woon, but they started talking to her and helping her more after that day.
While Yeo Woon was exchanging greetings with the staff, Min Ji Wook called Yeo Woon from behind.
“Ms. Yeo Woon, over here.”
Yeo Woon approached Min Ji Wook. However, Min Ji Wook’s expression looked worse than usual.
Was there a problem?
Min Ji Wook always had an emotionless face, so at first, she couldn’t tell his mood changes, but after seeing him often, she thought she might have started to understand a little.
Yeo Woon tried to gauge Min Ji Wook’s mood that day by looking at the deep creases in his forehead.
It seemed a little lower pressure than usual……?
“You know we have to get this scene right in one take, right?”
“Yes!”
Yeo Woon nodded confidently. The reason she came all the way to the province today was to film a scene of burning down a villa.
It was a scene that couldn’t be shot twice, so all the staff were extremely tense. They had to control all situations and check multiple times to ensure that no minor variables would occur.
From the perspective of the director, it was natural to be on high alert since he had to capture everything he wanted to depict in just one take without making a mistake.
Min Ji Wook gestured for Yeo Woon to follow him and walked towards the villa. Min Ji Wook, who stopped at the spot where he would later throw the fire, opened his mouth.
“When you throw the flame later, you absolutely can’t throw it in that direction. This way. It has to be this way. You understand, right?”
“Yes.”
“Try it, practice.”
Min Ji Wook handed the prop that would later be set on fire and thrown to Yeo Woon. Yeo Woon swiftly threw the prop towards the location indicated by Min Ji Wook.
At that, Min Ji Wook’s face changed drastically.
“Were you not thinking just now?”
Yeo Woon looked at Min Ji Wook with a flushed face. Actually, she had just thrown it thinking about aiming at the spot where Min Ji Wook told her to throw, not acting.
If it were real, it would have been an immediate NG. This wasn’t about hitting a target.
Min Ji Wook sighed once, picked up the fallen prop, and held it out to Yeo Woon again. His face was somewhat scary.
“I told you, we have to get this scene right in one take, didn’t I? Again.”
Yeo Woon composed herself and thought about the situation in her head. After muttering the lines of ‘Cha Yeon Joo’ to herself, she threw it swiftly in the direction that Min Ji Wook had pointed out.
“Okay. One more time.”
In that manner, Yeo Woon practiced five times. And several times during Yeo Woon’s practice, Min Ji Wook picked up the fallen prop.
At that moment, Yeo Woon burst out laughing.
“Pff.”
Then, the hand of Min Ji Wook, who was holding out the prop, paused.
“…Why are you laughing?”
“No. Ah, it’s nothing.”
“……”
Min Ji Wook’s expression turned harsh. A wordless pressure to hurry up and speak.
Yeo Woon swallowed hard at his intimidating face and chose her words.
“Well, director… you have such a scary face, but you’re really kind.”
“Eh?”
Min Ji Wook looked at Yeo Woon as if doubting his own ears.
“Kind…? Me?”
His questioning expression was far removed from kindness. But since this was the most expressive face Yeo Woon had ever seen on Min Ji Wook, she burst out laughing.
Ah, I shouldn’t laugh. The director is scary.
Yeo Wook, trying to suppress her laughter, explained to Min Ji Wook.
“Even though you’ve been making such an annoyed face since earlier, you keep picking up the prop. That’s being kind.”
“……”
Min Ji Wook, looking absurd, let out a hollow laugh and shook his head. His expression indicated he had given up on speaking.
He handed over the prop he was holding to Yeo Woon and spoke.
“You’re perfect for getting scammed.”
A few steps away, Min Ji Wook suddenly turned around as if he remembered something.

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.”
