In his cautious tone, Si Hyun realized that Tae Ha was asking about Woo Jin.
“We met when we were both working, didn’t we? We didn’t get to go to places like amusement parks. We were both busy, and our companies were nearby, so we usually met for meals and sometimes watched a movie in the area.”
Having dated for six years, she thought she would have a lot of memories, but after breaking up, all she remembered were eating soup near the office or watching a movie.
The best place they had ever been to was just a family restaurant.
In fact, Tae Ha had more memories.
“We went to the amusement park and even a French restaurant with you.”
“Was that it?”
Tae Ha blurted out.
“When I was in elementary school, I even attended a field trip. You came to the sports festival every year.”
“Oh, did I?”
Suddenly remembering the old days, Si Hyun chuckled. Back then, she was still a high school student, and she had faked an illness to leave early and run over. For fear that our Tae Ha would lose heart.
No matter what event it was for parent participation, Si Hyun always came in first. She was at an age where she could run around with energy.
Whenever she was given a prize, Tae Ha would be so happy. She remembered how she had risked her life to attend every year just to see that face.
Sadly, as she got older, parent participation in the sports festival was banned, so she couldn’t go anymore.
“Do you remember? In your third grade, your class president’s dad tried to beat me in a race, and he fell and flew like Superman.”
“He was the one who bullied me in second grade, you promised to beat him no matter what.”
“Of course. It was the time when I could run 100 meters in 14 seconds, how could a potbellied old man beat me?”
They couldn’t stop laughing as they reminisced about the old days. She laughed so hard her stomach hurt, and Si Hyun even wiped away tears at the end.
When the laughter subsided, Si Hyun opened her mouth.
“About yesterday.”
Tae Ha, who understood before she even broached the main topic, responded.
“I did something I shouldn’t have. To that friend.”
“Even though I haven’t met her many times, Ye In seemed like a good girl, why don’t you try to get to know her?”
Having said that, Si Hyun was surprised by her own words. It truly was something she didn’t mean.
“It’s not that easy.”
Tae Ha muttered.
“You say you hate me, that you want me gone, and I want to do that for you. But it’s not up to me.”
Si Hyun quietly focused on her feelings. What she was feeling now was clearly relief and joy.
“I think I can’t help but want you.”
“….”
“I’m not telling you to do anything right now. Just don’t tell me it’s impossible.”
He was asking for a chance.
Si Hyun recalled what Soo Yeon had said during the day.
[That young man is definitely Si Hyun’s match, no doubt.] It was the first time Si Hyun had seen Soo Yeon speak so confidently. So perhaps, what she said could be true…..‘No, that’s an excuse.’
Si Hyun tried to be honest with herself.
It’s not that I don’t want to reject him. I’m actually afraid to see him as a man. Pushing him away is getting harder and harder. There was a desire to let myself be defeated, to be drawn in, just once.
But…… Si Hyun bit her lip.
Nothing in her had been resolved.
[Since it’s tiring to explain it all, please spread the word a lot on my behalf!] Even though she pretended to be unaffected and chirpy, it was still painful to think about people gossiping behind her back.What would people think if she got involved with Tae Ha here? What would they say?
What about her colleagues? Her friends? Her uncle’s family? Woo Jin and his parents?
In an instant, the threads of thought in her head became tangled. Even so, she couldn’t deny that her heart was drawn to Tae Ha. In other words, her head and heart were acting independently.
Even though she thought it was cowardly, Si Hyun had prepared a way to sneak away.
“What will you do if I can’t like you till the end?”
“I will try, I will.”
“What if that still doesn’t work, that’s what I’m asking.”
“I won’t hold it against you, ever.”
Tae Ha looked at Si Hyun as if pleading.
“Just give me one chance. That’s all I need.”
Si Hyun sighed and asked.
“Can you make sure it doesn’t show at the office?”
For a moment, broad shoulders twitched into view. The sight of Tae Ha looking on in surprise caused another part of her heart to ache. She had thought that even with a confession, she would be rejected again anyway.
“Now, what did you say……”
“So, can you stop looking at me with those eyes?”
“I won’t look!”
Though she hadn’t told him to stop looking just now, Tae Ha hastily diverted his gaze elsewhere.
“I’ll never look at you. No, I won’t even talk to you.”
“How will we work if you don’t speak to me?”
Si Hyun chuckled softly. Saying it out loud made her feel a bit relieved. Right. Even if I can’t have you, perhaps I should stop pushing you away from me, telling you not to come near.
Watching Si Hyun laugh, Tae Ha glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. He still had a look of disbelief.
Just then, the fireworks began, and Si Hyun clapped her hands.
“Tae Ha, look over there!”
Throughout the colored fireworks painting the night sky, they spent the time gazing at the sky together.
((()))
The next morning, when Si Hyun arrived at work, she blinked in surprise upon seeing suddenly tall Miju.
“What’s up, why are you suddenly floating in the air?”
Looking down, Miju was unusually wearing high heels she normally didn’t. The heels were pointed stilettos, almost like a pick.
“How about it, do I look a bit sexy?”
Miju, who stretched out one leg to show off her sleek lines, caused Si Hyun to hurriedly take a step back.
“Don’t come near me. If you step on me, my toes will break.”
“Right? If you get stepped on, it feels like you’d need a cast, doesn’t it?”
For some reason, Miju was roaring with laughter and enjoying it.
The incident happened not even ten minutes after that.
“Ahh!”
A horrible scream came from the hallway.

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.”
