The middle-aged female driver, looking pale, got out of the car and approached. Seungjoo endured the pain and extended his hand.
“…I’m fine. I did it on purpose. Don’t worry about me and go.”
“Can you get up? I’ll call an ambulance right now…”
“I’m really okay.”
Seungjoo grabbed the arm of the driver who was about to make a call, pleading.
“Please, just let me be. I won’t report it to the police, I promise.”
Struggling to stand up, Seungjoo leaned against the roadside trees, feeling pain.
In dramas and movies, they often say that memories return when you have a second accident, but reality was different. He still felt nothing but pain, and nothing came back, as if the part of his head where memories after eighteen were stored remained in complete darkness.
“Ugh…”
In the midst of severe pain, he groaned for a while when suddenly something came to mind.
It was the thought he had right before losing consciousness during the last traffic accident.
“I’m lucky to be me.”
Yes.
At that moment, even in the current agony, he found solace in the fact that Eunseo was unharmed.
Even in pain, his heart pounded. Indeed, he had liked Eunseo even before losing his memory.
“My thoughts were right.”
One memory barely revived. Seungjoo desperately grasped that thin thread and followed the connected memories.
“Since when did I like Eunseo noona?”
“From the moment I saw her at Yonsadong’s house two years ago.”
“Why did I go there?”
“Because it was the day when I went to the crematorium and buried my mom.”
It felt as if another version of himself in his head was answering. Like numerous small bulbs lighting up in a row, the dark parts gradually brightened.
One by one, and another.
How long had he been sitting, leaning against the trees on the street? Someone gently touched Seungjoo’s shoulder.
“Look at this, are you really okay now?”
It was the driver from earlier. It seemed she had returned, probably out of concern.
“Do you need to go to the hospital now?”
Seungjoo raised his head, looking directly at the person.
“I caused you trouble unintentionally.”
With a completely different gaze and tone from before, the driver hesitated and stepped back.
“It’s clearly my fault. You don’t have to worry; there won’t be any police report.”
The man, staggering to his feet, straightened his back and stood tall.
Then, he took out his phone and made a call.
“Secretary Kim, it’s Kwon Seungjoo.”
The man gave clear instructions with an unwavering tone.
“You need to come pick me up.”
When Seungjoo finished his story, Eunseo’s small face was covered in tears. Wanting to comfort her, he tried to pat her cheek, but she pushed his hand away and shouted.
“Why did you have to use such a stupid method? What if you died, what would happen?”
Seungjoo spoke with a serious expression.
“Back then, I thought it would be better to die than not being able to protect you.”
Why didn’t he think about the danger of jumping into a moving car? However, even if he got severely injured or worse, as long as there was a chance to recover his memory, he thought it was worth trying anything. If he died, at least Kwon Seunhyun wouldn’t harass Eunseo anymore.
“Why risk your life because of me? What did I do…!”
Eunseo sobbed.
“Do you remember what I said back then? Did you want to hear those words?”
To forcibly extract the pain, he had said all sorts of things. It’s hard to feed you, I’m tired now. You’re an annoying kid who can’t even kiss, so I chose your younger brother, and so on.
Certainly, this man’s memory would remember every single detail.
“It wasn’t sincere.”
Nevertheless, he shook his head.
“Even then, your eyes were telling me that you felt sorry. So, I wasn’t hurt.”
Eunseo spread her arms and hugged him tightly. Whether this heartache was because of eighteen-year-old Seungjoo or adult Kwon Seungjoo, she didn’t know.
She just couldn’t stop crying because this man in front of her seemed endlessly pitiful and affectionate.
“It must have hurt a lot, right? Because of me…!”
The man, who had been covered in wounds, comforted her by embracing her as if consoling her.
“I came back for you.”
“….”
“So, please give me a chance too.”
“Filming a drama, filming a drama.”
Naeun wiped her tears and disconnected the call that had been ongoing.
“It’s annoying, seriously. If this continues, I have no choice but to give up on my feelings….”

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.

He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
