Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 8
“Last time I canceled, the next available slot was a whopping 34 years later. Waiting a few hours is better than that.”
At this point, she could only assume he harbored romantic feelings for her.
For her—an older woman,
whose miserable marriage was common knowledge to the entire world,
a woman who’d long since lost whatever allure she once had as a woman.
Though touched, Hye Sun believed it right to be clear in her refusal, so she hardened her expression.
“After today’s incident, you must already understand—work is the most important thing in the world to me. I simply don’t have the mental bandwidth for anything else.”
He didn’t seem disappointed at all; instead, he smiled gently and suddenly brought up something she hadn’t even asked about.
“People often ask me why I’ve never married.”
Hye Sun looked at him, puzzled.
“I usually say I got so caught up in work that I missed my chance and suddenly found myself this old—but truthfully, even I didn’t really know. No matter how busy I was, it wasn’t like I couldn’t date at all, and there were definitely a few people I briefly saw back then.”
“…”
“When I first appeared on the news after returning alive, you said clearly that you had no interest in your ex-husband’s management rights and would never interfere. That’s when I realized—Ah, my senior plans to become Chairman of Dae Won Group.”
Hye Sun was inwardly startled. She’d thought she’d brilliantly fooled the whole world—but someone had seen through her intentions all along.
“I still thought you were an impressive woman—exactly the same as when I saw you in that lecture hall years ago.”
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.”
