‘Su-Yeong, the author, was such a person?’
It wasn’t just the watch. His bracelet, shirt and pants, shoes, and even the car key on the table were being scrutinized one by one in the enlarged photo, assessing how wealthy Su-Yeong, the man in the photo, was.
Meeting a man who was everyone’s ideal, marrying him in the United States without any delay, was already a painful matter. Meeting an extraordinarily luxurious man was beyond ordinary.
-Who on earth is this woman that she’s meeting men who are difficult to date one after another?
Beyond curiosity and envy, they were criticizing Mi-Joo harshly, and there was also mockery and blame directed at Si-Yoon and Su-Yeong.
“No, men with everything are playing around with such a woman!”
Mi-Joo’s hand holding the phone was trembling, and her stomach, convulsing as if squeezing a wet cloth, rumbled restlessly.
“Ouch….”
Clutching her aching belly as if about to collapse, Mi-Joo searched for painkillers. Where would the emergency medicine be in this spacious house? She opened drawers in the kitchen and dining room.
But unable to find the medicine, Mi-Joo recalled that there was a pharmacy in the commercial building section of the complex.
“Where’s my wallet?”
Mi-Joo grabbed a single card and headed out through the front door to the elevator.
“Secretary Lim!”
For a moment, she saw Secretary Lim standing in front of the elevator door, holding it open.
“Where are you going?”
“Why is Secretary Lim here?”
Mi-Joo met Secretary Lim with a puzzled expression, and he watched Mi-Joo as she approached the exclusive elevator that no one else would use.
“Reporters are outside. In case something happens, I and the security team were on standby.”
The situation was so difficult to judge whether to be grateful or uncomfortable, given the intensifying pain in her stomach.
“May I ask where you were planning to go?”
“I just wanted to take a walk.”
Mi-Joo didn’t want to draw attention to herself by saying her sensitive body was acting up, and it seemed like a hassle with several people bustling around.
“Walking might be difficult for a while.”
Secretary Lim didn’t say anything more, but Mi-Joo couldn’t go outside. He had a determined look, indicating that he was on a mission to prevent any issues from arising today.
“I’m sorry, Secretary Lim. I’m bothering you.”
“No, I apologize for the inconvenience.”
Rather, Secretary Lim bowed as if he was more sorry. He must have seen today’s article, wondering how one could deal so gracefully with such an immoral and shameless woman. Thankful yet unable to lift her head from embarrassment, Mi-Joo couldn’t face him.
“Um, could you buy me a painkiller?”
“If you tell me where it hurts and describe the symptoms, I’ll go get it for you.”
“It seems like a mild stomachache.”
“Yes.”
With just a thank you, Mi-Joo hurriedly entered the house. A while later, Secretary Lim brought the medicine, and Mi-Joo quickly swallowed two pills.
Her body was so cunning. The squeezing pain that felt like she might faint was subdued with two painkillers. As the pain disappeared, she began worrying again about the situation she had faced.
‘How surprised must Si-Yoon and Director Kim be? And what would they think of me?’
It was unimaginable. The fear intensified when she thought that not only them but also the damage might have extended to Author Su-Yeong. Mi-Joo picked up her phone again.
The comments were evolving rapidly. People were leaving comments saying that if they checked the fashion brand Su-Yeong was using and the limited quantity watch he owned, they could figure out his personal information. In agreement, they were eagerly participating in exposing Su-Yeong’s personal information.
Mi-Joo judged that she couldn’t burden Author Su-Yeong and called him. Forgetful of Si-Yoon’s advice not to talk to anyone in case reporters contacted her, she dialed Su-Yeong’s number.
The ringing tone was heard, but Su-Yeong didn’t answer. Mi-Joo was anxious.
However, just before the call was disconnected, Su-Yeong’s voice was heard.
“Author.”
He was always energetic and refreshing, but at this moment, caution seemed to linger.
“Author, have you seen the article?”
No, how could he have heard domestic news while abroad? If he didn’t know, she had to inform him before he got surprised. If he did know, she wanted to apologize. However, now that he heard the news, she was at a loss for words.
That’s right. If someone knew them, they could recognize who it was. It was a picture that could be identified.
“I’m sorry. It’s because of me.”
Right. The article contained nothing but the fact that the two knew each other. But Mi-Joo couldn’t hide her apologies for the article that had caused such a fuss.
“I have no idea.”
Being followed by someone or having secretly taken pictures had never crossed her mind. She had been living a simple and repetitive daily life, and the idea of being followed was unthinkable.
“People are going crazy on the internet, wanting to know about Author Su-Yeong. What should I do?”
“Didn’t expect a photo like that to be taken. If I knew, I would have been more careful.”
“Yes. Right now, I feel like I want to run away.”
At that moment, Mi-Joo felt a presence behind her. When she turned around, Si-Yoon was glaring at her.

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.”
