Inquiring, Sehyun noticed Han Gaeul’s shabby appearance. He remembered her white face that seemed to have never seen sunlight. She definitely looked like a patient. Did Daewoon’s taste change? A sick Cinderella?
Sehyun fell into deep contemplation. Does he need to protect his friend’s privacy? Should he make his friend, who has lost his mind, come to his senses?
Han Gaeul barely crossed the crosswalk just before the signal changed. Still, Daewoon’s eyes didn’t leave Gaeul. Sehyun had to nudge Daewoon’s arm to let him know that the signal had changed.
After a short distance, Daewoon stopped the car.
“Get off. Go alone to the meeting.”
“What are you talking about? Everyone is waiting for you. Don’t you have to do the final review and give instructions for everyone to move?”
“Say we’ll meet again tomorrow. I told you to get off.”
“This guy is unbelievable. I won’t get off. I need to see what your business is. I have to know how urgent it is for all the people gathered for you.”
Sehyun stared intently. He absolutely couldn’t get off. He had to follow him to see what was happening.
As if giving up, Daewoon started the car again. After turning the car, Daewoon drove in the direction Han Gaeul had walked. The car passed through the hospital entrance.
“Hey, how did you know that Han Gaeul went to the hospital?”
“The person who should have been at the hospital. Not on the crosswalk.”
Daewoon, who parked the car in the empty parking lot at night, got out of the car as if in a hurry. Without waiting for Sehyun to get off, he quickly moved his steps.
Sehyun ran to catch up. Although Daewoon increased his speed, Sehyun did not fall behind at all. I must confirm it with my own eyes. What kind of person is Han Gaeul to Daewoon?
Gaeul threw her bag into the closet, hurriedly unbuttoning her blouse. She felt dizzy, probably because she hadn’t eaten dinner.
Since she didn’t apply in advance, she was told she couldn’t have hospital food for dinner tonight. Although her grandmother brought her food, it seemed like she wouldn’t be able to eat it and make it to the tutoring session.
In the end, she gave up on dinner and went for tutoring. Due to the hospital bills, there were additional expenses, and she couldn’t afford to postpone the day she received the tutoring fee.
Luckily, she could tutor without missing it today. It was fortunate that she persuaded her grandmother, who insisted on spending the night at the hospital, to go home. It seemed like she successfully convinced her grandmother to buy boiled pork belly for Winter today.
Everything was going well. She didn’t get caught leaving the hospital. Gaeul sighed in relief, hung her blouse in the closet, and took out her hospital gown.
At that moment, the hospital room door opened. Gaeul instinctively covered her front with the hospital gown she was holding. Her heart pounded, thinking she might have been caught by a nurse for leaving.
In Gaeul’s eyes, turned away, she saw the door closing as quickly as it opened. But as it closed, she made eye contact with someone. It was the chairman.
Gaeul was startled. Her face turned red with embarrassment. Fortunately, she covered her body with the removed hospital gown. She hoped he didn’t see before she covered herself. Maybe he didn’t see it before covering?
“What’s wrong? Why are you like that?”
A stranger’s voice was heard through the closing door.
“You didn’t knock.”
Outside the room, Daewoon answered Sehyun’s question, banging his head on the door of the hospital room.
“What’s that? Is that a new knocking method?”
Daewoon stood in front of Sehyun, avoiding showing his face to Sehyun right now. His face was in a state of complete vulnerability, revealing everything about him.
Her heart thumped. Others might call me a strong-hearted person, but it doesn’t seem like that. Otherwise, my heart wouldn’t be pounding just from catching a glimpse of Han Gaeul’s inside.
Daewoon gritted his teeth. The face of Gaeul that he saw through the gap came to mind. Gaeul’s surprised rabbit eyes were frozen. The white shoulders and collarbone not fully covered by the patient gown.
Crazy guy. Daewoon shook his head. He didn’t even see her chest, just the collarbone. She’s not even a teenage boy.
Before Gaeul covered herself with the patient gown, he saw her chest signed by the bra. But so what? He had seen women in bikinis one or two times. Even when women in swimsuits, almost indistinguishable from bikinis, bumped into him at pool parties, his heartbeat remained unchanged.
To him, who had seen much more in the United States, what was a bra as innocent as that for teenagers? Her chest wasn’t even that big. What’s wrong with Gaeul? Calling out the name of another man even when she’s unconscious.
Daewoon banged his head on the door of the hospital room again. Inside, Gaeul’s voice saying, “Come in,” was heard.
“These days, I understand that you want to use your brain since you haven’t been using it much lately, but tsk tsk. You should have asked me instead of banging on the hospital room door like that. Instead of doing that, I can teach you hundreds of more useful ways.”
“Why did you follow me?”
Daewoon opened the hospital room door, glaring at the grinning Sehyun. While opening it, he immediately made a commotion. He thought that it was the best way to hide his embarrassment.
“Why don’t you ever think?”
He thought that the best way to survive was to attack first, whether to hide his embarrassment or erase Gaeul’s embarrassment. Or maybe to get rid of the tempting white chest of Gaeul.
But it was Daewoon who became confused. Gaeul had suddenly regained her composure and was looking at Daewoon as if he were pathetic. Even though there was no moon, Gaeul’s expression said that it was annoying.
“Hehe. Did you decide to teach a lesson to your smart father? You’re doing this to take revenge for what your clever father threw away, right?”
“Please speak so that I can understand.”
It was past 11 p.m.
Now I want to try eating dinner. Can’t you stop me from doing that? Isn’t it enough to see someone’s inside without knocking and opening the door so forcefully? What’s the reason for bothering me until late at night? Gaeul stared at Daewoon with all kinds of irritation.
“Miss Han Gaeul? I apologize for coming so late. This friend found Miss Han Gaeul crossing the crosswalk near the hospital. He seems worried and followed her.”
Sehyun, who followed along, added. He didn’t see Gaeul’s inside, so he spoke like a discerning person.
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.”
