Here is the English translation of the Korean paragraph:
“By the way, I really don’t know.”
What did I do wrong to Yoo Hee-na?
I didn’t have any doubts.
Because I didn’t do anything wrong!
“Ah, I don’t know. Let’s just wait.”
I won’t speak, so what are they going to do?
If it’s urgent, they’ll speak first.
The gazes from all directions were a bit uncomfortable, but I got used to them and managed to bear it. I kept my mouth shut and pretended to be lost in thought.
But Yoo Hee-na was stubborn.
“No, you’re not going to say anything like this?”
Even though a considerable amount of time had passed, Yoo Hee-na remained unresponsive.
I glanced at Yoo Hee-na.
Yoo Hee-na, with her arms crossed, was glaring at me with a sulky expression.
“…”
Looking at that face, the day I first met Yoo Hee-na came to mind.
“At that time, I was really surprised.”
Well, it’s no wonder. The “villainess” Yoo Hee-na was very different from what I had imagined.
Light brown wavy hair.
Fair skin.
A pretty face.
Up to this point, it was fine.
The problem was that Yoo Hee-na looked too young!
“How can that face be the same age as me?”
I thought.
Seventeen-year-old Yoo Hee-na looked like a middle schooler, and at worst, she could pass for an elementary schooler.
Even now, she was leading her two cronies, but honestly, she only looked like an older sister and younger sister.
Of course, Yoo Hee-na was the younger sister.
So, perhaps due to my preconceived notions about the “villainess,” I had imagined that Yoo Hee-na would naturally be a mature beauty, and I was quite shocked.
At the same time, I thought.
“That’s why the male lead is always at her mercy.”
Without realizing it, I began to understand the male lead.
To be honest, when I first read the original work, I didn’t like the male lead.
It was because the male lead of this novel, Seong Ji-chan, was unusually frustrating and indecisive.
Of course, the virtues of male leads at this time were generally sweet potatoes… but Seong Ji-chan was particularly extreme.
“How can such a guy be the male lead…”
Seong Ji-chan didn’t get angry no matter what bad things Yoo Hee-na did. He even went so far as to side with the villainess and do extremely wicked things when the villainess attacked the heroine first.
Because of that, as a reader from the 2020s, I couldn’t understand it at all.
What’s the appeal of the male lead?
Why is he the male lead?
Why is the male lead like that?
And all those questions were answered the moment I saw Yoo Hee-na’s face.
“It must have been difficult to get angry with that face…”
Even now, Yoo Hee-na was pouting, but rather than being scary, she looked like a child throwing a tantrum.
Maybe the male lead thought of Yoo Hee-na as his own younger sister.
In that case, I definitely understood.
Of course, I couldn’t return the lost male lead position.
“But are you really not going to say anything?”
In the end, I couldn’t help but speak.
“Um, I’m sorry… I really don’t know, but can’t you just teach me?”
Even though I knew we were the same age, I naturally used polite language.
The idea of her looking like a younger sister was canceled.
I’m originally weak in nature.
Yoo Hee-na’s gaze turned fierce in response to my words.
“Don’t lie! Who are you making fun of right now?”
Why would I do that!
I didn’t know what button I had pressed, but Yoo Hee-na suddenly switched on and charged at me with a fierce energy.
Her sharp voice echoed through the alley.
“See this! Do you know what you did? You keep pretending like nothing happened?”
Yoo Hee-na forcefully pushed her phone almost into my face.
I couldn’t see even if you told me. I’m sorry, but please consider my feelings a bit?
I strained my neck and looked down.
After struggling for a long time, I finally saw a picture on the phone screen.
A picture of me and Seong Ji-chan standing affectionately together.
…
Huh?
“What’s going on? Am I crazy?”
In disbelief, I opened and closed my eyes.
It was still the same.
Could this be a dream?
I blinked again.
Still, the picture on the screen remained unchanged.
“Now do you have something to say? Explain it then!”
Here is the English translation of the Korean paragraph:
Yoo Hee-na enthusiastically shouted, wondering how to interpret my surprised expression.
No, what is this? Is it photoshopped?
The image quality was so poor that I couldn’t even tell if it was photoshopped or not.
Even if it were Seong Ji-chan, there wouldn’t be anyone who would do such unnecessary things, so it’s probably not photoshopped.
“So, when was this picture taken?”
Originally, today was the first time I had seen Seong Ji-chan up close.
…Ah.
Only then did I seem to know how this picture was taken.
Earlier, when Seong Ji-chan snatched the man’s phone, he leaned slightly in my direction. It was definitely taken at that moment.
“He took that.”
It was a very brief moment, and someone happened to take a picture of it.
I really had no luck.
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.”
