While momentarily staring at him, Bora almost dropped her glass when she suddenly noticed the woman holding his arm.
“… Kang Sihyun?”
[Star icon] [Excuse me for a moment. I’m a friend of Ms. Kang Sihyun.]Smiling at Leon and speaking in English, Bora spoke to Sihyun while maintaining the same smiling expression.
“Do you know Yuntae? You’re juggling between two men.”
Sihyun was momentarily confused. What was she talking about?
After a moment of thought, Sihyun barely realized that Bora had misunderstood her relationship with Leon. Well, the uncle looked too young.
“Pfft!”
When Sihyun burst into laughter, Bora seemed a bit bewildered.
“Are you laughing? Why, do you think I can’t tell Yuntae about it?”
“Go, tell him. Right away. He’ll probably laugh for days if he hears this.”
Sihyun held her stomach. How funny would Taeha’s expression be when he heard this? Just imagining it was hilarious.
After laughing for a while, wiping away tears with a napkin, Sihyun said, “You’re really something.”
“What?”
“Coming to the hotel where I used to come with my fiancé, you probably won’t come here even if it’s creepy.”
Bora suddenly extended her hand as if to show off. Even in Sihyun’s eyes, who didn’t know much about jewelry, it was a diamond ring that seemed to be worth several carats.
“I’m getting married soon. He came to propose.”
“Oh, really? I didn’t ask.”
Bora didn’t care about who someone like Lee Bora was marrying, and she wasn’t interested. It was the same even if it were Woojin.
“Why, take the bouquet if you need it? Contact me anytime if you need it.”
Teasing her, Sihyun turned to look at Leon. Leon was silently watching the two.
“Anyway, since we’re on a date now, go away.”
Saying that, she picked up her fork again. Bora, still looking at Leon, suddenly spoke as if mocking.
“But he looks so much like someone. Your taste is quite consistent, Kang Sihyun.”
At this point, Sihyun could no longer laugh.
“On the topic of me playing around with someone else’s fiancé, how dare you say such things to me?”
However, Bora was extremely confident.
“Thanks to me cleaning up the mess, you caught Yuntae. You should at least say thank you, shouldn’t you?”
Sihyun was dumbfounded. She didn’t expect Bora to not feel sorry for her. She didn’t even think about it.
How could someone be so shameless? Unable to laugh anymore,
“I’ll thank you on behalf.”
Leon, who had been silently listening, finally spoke.
“I was curious about what happened anyway. It was thanks to the young lady? Thank you very much.”
Leon smiled gently towards Bora. Bora looked quite surprised when perfect Korean came out of a foreigner’s mouth.
When Leon casually raised his hand, a waiter who had been waiting approached and bowed.
“Did you call?”
“I’ll provide a complimentary bottle of wine for this guest. The best one.”
He pointed to Bora and said, “And once they finish eating, kindly escort them out. Put them on the blacklist, so they can’t enter again.”
“What did you say?”
In an instant, the smile disappeared from Leon’s face.
“Just being thankful that I’m not kicking you out right now.”
Bora quickly adopted a fierce expression.
“Hey. I don’t know if you’re the chef or the owner of this restaurant, but you shouldn’t treat me like this.”
As if asking if he knows who she is, Bora arrogantly lifted her chin.
“My father is close friends with the hotel chairman. I should let him know that the restaurant service is very poor. Personally.”
“Oh, did he not tell you that he sold the hotel? Interesting.”
With an amused tone, Leon asked, then instructed the staff again.
“Cancel the wine. Refund the meal cost, and get rid of them in front of my eyes. Right now!”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Chairman? Only now, looking at the stunned Bora with a cold gaze, Leon spoke.
“Don’t ever set foot in my hotel again with those dirty feet of yours.”
[Star icon]Seeing Bora being escorted out by the staff like being dragged, Sihyun felt relieved for a moment, but she suddenly became worried belatedly.
“Are you okay? Actually, her father is the owner of Johansinmun, a reputable newspaper company.”
However, Leon laughed as if nothing happened.
“Do whatever you want. Nothing scares me.”
After finishing the meal, they went outside, and Taeha was waiting in front of the restaurant. Even though she had seen his face at the company yesterday and the day before, and even at noon today, she felt a new sense of joy each time.
“Taeha!”
Sihyun quickly ran to Taeha.
“If you came, you should have come in and had a meal together.”
“I can’t disturb your father’s date. That wouldn’t be right.”
Smiling at Leon and then asking Sihyun, Taeha said, “Did you have a good time?”
“So much!”
Sihyun smiled widely. She wanted to tell Taeha about the story with Bora earlier, but for now, she decided to endure it.
Since it was the first day of living together as a wealthy couple, she wanted them to be alone as soon as possible.
“Then I’ll be going now. Sir, have a good night with Taeha.”
“I’ll take you.”
Taeha stepped forward, but Sihyun shook her head.
“No, I want to take a limousine. I took it when I came here earlier, and it was really nice. Sir, can I take a limousine home?”
Leon nodded with a smile.
“Of course, anytime you want, if our Sihyun wants it.”
[Star icon]The room Leon prepared for spending time with Taeha was a suite with two bedrooms.
“Oh, there aren’t many good suits. I should go out and have my son’s clothes fitted once.”
While tidying Taeha’s clothes, Leon had an excited expression all along. He seemed so pleased to be living with his son that he didn’t know what to do.
Seeing her father like that, Taeha’s heart stabbed. How nice would it have been if he had treated her a bit better before?
“Dinner? Aren’t you hungry?”
“I had a light meal while waiting for you two.”
“Then, how about a drink?”
“Sure.”
There was something she wanted to say. Taeha readily agreed.
They went up to the lounge bar, enjoyed the splendid night view outside the window, and drank whiskey together. Although they had shared a drink over a video call before, it was the first time they sat face to face like this.
“I have a favor to ask, Father.”
“After just one drink? To me?”
At the word ‘favor,’ Leon’s eyes sparkled instantly. It was an expression that seemed to say, ‘Tell me anything.’
“I have a woman looking for her son in the United States.”
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.”
