“It’s almost Christmas. But, Seol Woojin seems rich, with everything he needs. Everything, including clothes, looks expensive… Is there anything he doesn’t have? I’ll buy it for Seol Woojin.”
“He doesn’t need anything.”
“Yeah… It seems like he doesn’t need anything. Then, is it enough with just my feelings?”
Upon hearing this, Woojin fell silent.
Thinking that it was too obvious that he was trying to take advantage of her, Sooyoung stared at him intently. However, Woojin quietly spoke up.
“Then… buy a cane.”
“What? He doesn’t use a cane.”
“If you buy it, I’ll use it.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
This statement meant that he would now try to walk on his own, truly determined to step into the world.
After observing him for a moment, Sooyoung soon burst into laughter and said loudly.
“I’ll buy you a really nice one. Really.”
“……Okay. Buy one that’s really nice.”
Even in Woojin’s responding smile, there was a faint trace of warmth.
There weren’t many types of canes.
There were two types, folding or telescopic, but there were many places that sold folding canes, while telescopic canes were scarce.
What kind of cane would be good for a visually impaired person?
Sooyoung closed her eyes and pretended to fold the three-sectioned Hwaja-son, then pretended to put it all the way in, trying to gauge its convenience.
Well, the telescopic one seemed like it could be pulled in and out quickly, but…
After carefully reading the product reviews, she put one cane in the shopping cart, and with the thought that Woojin might find the three-sectioned one more comfortable, she added a folding cane to the cart.
Even if she bought both, it seemed that it wouldn’t even be half the price of the necklace, but considering the level of that household, it was impossible to match it. She clicked to pay with a happy heart.
It felt like she was being too cheeky, so she thought about using a card, but it was impossible because he couldn’t read. Then… how about writing in Braille? How do you write in Braille? When she searched for the Braille information terminal that Woojin used, she was shocked and almost dropped her phone.
It cost nearly 6 million won.
Can you believe that he uses something this expensive? Seol Woojin could afford it because he’s rich, but people from poor households couldn’t use it, and this thought left a bitter taste in her mouth.
Searching the internet, she found a Braille slate that could manually emboss Braille. It was a set with small pins.
But… it was all overseas shipping. Aren’t there any in Korea?
No matter how much she searched, there was only overseas shipping.
The delivery time was also two weeks. Then, it would be impossible to use the card before Christmas.
She didn’t even know how to write in Braille yet, and the preparation process before writing Braille was not easy. Then…
Wouldn’t it be enough if she could feel it with her hands? Thinking this, Sooyoung brought an A4 sheet of paper and tried poking it with a sharp pen.
Feeling the paper sticking out when she touched the other side, she thought, “What if I poke it like this and make it feel with my hands?” She felt so clever.
She hummed a tune and spread a Braille chart on the computer monitor, then started researching how to create the sentence “Merry Christmas” in Braille.
First, she wrote it on paper and just had to emboss it as it was, right? The problem was that the protruding part shouldn’t be pressed down…
Not knowing that Yeongsun had come home and working hard on transferring the Braille of “Merry Christmas” to the practice sheet, Sooyoung was startled to the point where her hips jumped when her mom’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Mom!”
“What are you doing that you didn’t even notice Mom came? What’s this?”
Yeongsun stared intently at the Braille chart reflected on the computer monitor.
“Braille? Do you have to know this too?”
“Oh? Um, the author said she’s visually impaired.”
“Do you have to learn Braille too? It’s not a common thing.”
The amount of money deposited into my daughter’s bank account every month was staggering, perhaps because it was an unusual occurrence. Moreover, upon seeing that ten million won had been deposited for medical and compensation expenses due to the recent leg injury, Yeongsun felt another circle had been added. Believing it to be extraordinary, she even called the representative to confirm.
However, the representative, in a compassionate tone, explained that if the injury had been severe enough to require surgery, it would have cost more than five million won. Considering compensation for psychological damage, ten million won wasn’t considered a significant amount. He apologized once again, expressing regret.
Furthermore, it was mentioned that they recently produced an audiobook, and the advance payment received exceeded what Yeongsun was earning. Yeongsun began to think that if her daughter continued earning like this in her youth and later met a good man for marriage, there would be nothing more to wish for.
Especially since she was doing something she liked, and recently, the author even mentioned that she read what Sooyoung wrote. The publishing company mentioned on the business card given by the representative was quite a well-known company, as she found out after searching online. It was said to be an affiliate of a large corporation. If a book with her daughter’s name came out from such a publisher, there would be nothing more prideful than that. Writing was stable because she could continue even after getting married. It was also a reason why Yeongsun’s voice had to be kind even with her daughter’s eccentric actions.
“For Christmas, I was thinking of writing a card to the author. But this isn’t a common thing.”
When Sooyoung showed the paper she had pierced a few times, Yeongsun touched the paper and said, “If you poke a thick piece of paper, it will go in quickly. Shouldn’t you use thicker paper? So that it goes in easily even if that person touches it.”
“Should I?”
“Buy a big card and poke it there. We have sewing needles at home.”
Upon hearing Yeongsun’s words, her daughter clapped her hands and exclaimed, “Oh! Mom is indeed clever!”
Yeongsun smiled slyly as she quietly looked at her daughter’s face. Whichever guy takes her… He must be a really lucky guy. Where did you find such a kind and gentle woman? It would be good if the guy had a decent job. When the neatly dressed Yeonho’s image popped into her mind, Yeongsun’s lips curved into a subtle smile.

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.”
