He had shown off his abs by lifting up his white shirt.
“I’d like if you touch it.”
He placed Si Hyun’s surprised hand on his exposed abs and stared into her eyes with intensity.
“Why, am I not a man?”
Si Hyun felt herself becoming choked up. After hearing all the stories of the past, and yet again…!
Should she vent her anger and push him away? Should she slap him to bring him back to his senses? All sorts of thoughts crossed her mind in a moment, and then she met eyes with Tae Ha who was staring at her.
His cute face was nowhere to be found.
His voice had lowered to the point where it was startling every time she heard it.
Now, he had grown to the point where she had to look up at him.
But there was one thing that hadn’t changed.
His beautiful brown eyes, unchanged since his childhood.
As she realized that the man in front of her was Tae Ha, whom she had raised, Si Hyun came to a new understanding.
Maybe I’ve also been treating you as someone else until now. You were in pain, but how could I have thought of getting angry and hitting you?
“Alright, let’s do that.”
She left it as Tae Ha had proposed. He gently placed Si Hyun’s hand on his abs.
The moment she felt the hard abs instead of the soft belly, she was taken aback and nearly withdrew her hand, but she held back.
No matter how old he was or how much his body changed, he was still Tae Ha. That wouldn’t change.
Si Hyun started to gently rub Tae Ha’s abs with affection. The unfamiliarity gradually faded, and in its place, a sense of longing filled her heart.
“You must have had something cold in the morning. You’ve had stomach problems when you eat cold food since you were young.”
Tae Ha looked at the calm Si Hyun as if he was the one who was surprised. It was a look that asked, what is this woman thinking?
“I don’t know. How do I look to you now, who can’t remember me. Perhaps I’m just a pushover, a simple person.”
“……”
“It’s possible. As you can see, there’s nothing special about me. I don’t have a pretty face, I don’t have an impressive family, I don’t have any remarkable abilities compared to others, and I’m getting old.”
“……”
“But you know, there’s one thing I can proudly boast about in my life, and that’s you. The day you came as head of the department, I was startled, but that night I couldn’t sleep out of joy and excitement. How did you grow so splendidly? How did you become such an amazing person? I wanted to hang a banner at the company entrance, saying that our Tae Ha became the head of the department.”
“……”
“I’ve had a lot of thoughts lately. Why did you forget me? Was it because it was a memory you wanted to erase? That’s why I kept following you around, being annoying, trying to make you remember. Because I couldn’t bear the thought of being someone you wanted to forget.”
“……”
“But now, I’m going to stop. It’s okay if you can’t remember me. It doesn’t matter if I’m nothing to you.”
Looking into his eyes, Si Hyun spoke with emphasis.
“Whether you remember me or not, you’re really important to me.”
Tae Ha bit his lip lightly. His gaze was mixed with complex emotions. It seemed regretful, angry, and somewhere even sorrowful.
Suddenly, as he shrugged off her hand, Si Hyun called out in surprise.
“Tae Ha?”
But Tae Ha, without looking back, walked away quickly with fast steps.
((()))
As the elevator door closed, Tae Ha collapsed as if crumbling.
From the man’s mouth, who closed his eyes with his hand on his temple, a voice filled with agony flowed out.
“What am I supposed to do, really……!”
((()))
After Tae Ha had left, Si Hyun stumbled back to her office alone. However, the events from a while ago did not easily leave her mind. To be precise, the last expression she saw kept coming back to her.
Why did Tae Ha have that expression? Not recognizing me, why did he look at me like that…….
“What’s wrong, Si Hyun? Are you feeling unwell?”
“Just. It’s spring, but the weather is still chilly, so I’m feeling a bit down.”
As Si Hyun forced a smile, Mi Joo lightly patted her shoulder.
“You have to cheer up, you have a fiancé who buys you expensive necklaces.”
At the unexpected remark, Si Hyun looked at Mi Joo with a puzzled look.
“Necklace? What are you talking about?”
Mi Joo clicked her tongue.
“I was wondering whether to tell you because I had a stomach ache. Now that it’s come up, I’ll just tell you.”
What could it be? As Si Hyun swallowed her saliva and sat down, Mi Joo lowered her voice as if she was about to share a big secret.
“Last weekend, I saw Si Hyun’s boyfriend at the department store.”
Mi Joo knew Woo Jin’s face. He had come to pick Si Hyun up from the office a few times and had greeted Mi Joo.
“He was alone, so I was curious if he came to buy a gift for Si Hyun, so I followed him sneakily. He went into the Clover store and bought a necklace!”
Clover was the name of a luxury jewelry brand. Especially, their signature threeleaf clovershaped necklace was so famous that even Si Hyun, who didn’t own a single luxury bag, was familiar with the design.
Si Hyun’s eyes widened.

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.”
