Kang silently observed the unbelievable scene unfolding before her eyes.
Romi, lying on the ground, held the skull of a Mongma between her front paws, licking it, biting it, and rolling it to play with it repeatedly.
She asked the man sitting next to her,
“…Do Suins eat nightmares too?”
“No.”
“Why the fuss over food?” San chuckled.
“Then what do they eat?”
“They’re omnivores. They love human food too.”
Recalling his mention that Romi particularly likes meat, she remembered her voracious appetite at the restaurant.
Earlier, she just thought Romi had a good appetite, but reflecting on it now, she seemed to have consumed a tremendous amount of meat.

As if sensing they were talking about her, Romi perked up her ears and raised her head.
Making eye contact, Kang flinched.
Romi, with her long tongue out in a silly grin, wagged her bushy tail.
She resembled a dog begging to play.
[Woof! Woof!]She barked like a dog, then soon spoke in human Romi’s voice,
“Let’s play, sister!”
Given that her mouth’s shape remained unchanged, it seemed her words were conveyed through some invisible medium.
But sister?
While it was peculiar to be addressed as “senior” by such a huge beast, Romi’s swift change in addressing her and showing familiarity was impressive.

Kang, being naturally introverted, wasn’t one to quickly warm up to others.
Even with Jane, they had just started to converse beyond greetings.
Seeing her still, Romi, sensing the atmosphere, approached and affectionately rubbed her chin against Kang’s thigh.
Startled, Kang raised both hands and opened her mouth wide.
Seeing the unreserved approach, a momentary aversion crept into Kang.
Observing her discomfort, Romi’s face turned gloomy.
Seeing her drooping ears, she said to San,
“Master, I think sister doesn’t like Romi…”
San, who had been observing quietly, caressed Romi’s head consolingly and said,
“She’s just not used to you yet.”

“Really?”
“Yeah. Shall we leave for today?”
“Okay.”
Romi quickly stood up, looking back at Kang several times with a regretful face.
However, seeing Kang’s avoidance, she sadly climbed over the railing.
Romi, transformed into a white wolf, took a leap and disappeared from sight.
Left alone, a heavy sigh escaped Kang’s lips.
San tilted his head,
“…You don’t like her?”
A hint of anxiety crept onto his previously proud face.

Seeing her silent, he leaned in to meet her eyes.
“Should she not come?”
“No, it’s not that… I think it’ll just take some time for us to get close. I was really tired today.”
The curious Kang, eager to ask questions, was nowhere in sight.
Indeed, she hadn’t directly requested a friend, and San couldn’t force a relationship between the two.
He simply hoped to be a bit helpful, and that was the only regret.
“Shall we leave?”
“Yes, that would be best.”
Kang nodded with a tired face.
It didn’t seem like today was the day to ask about the accident 20 years ago.

And San had a story to share with her today, but he postponed it as well.
Before the start of the drama’s first shoot, there was a ritual to pray for safety.
Seeing the pig’s head with bills stuffed in its nostrils, Romi said,
“…I want pork soup.”
It seemed like a spontaneous utterance.
From the moment she arrived at the shooting site, she had been glued to Kang’s side.
Romi whispered to her quietly.
“Senior.”
“Hmm?”
“After the shoot, do you want to eat pork soup? I know a great place.”

“Sorry, I’m on a diet.”
Kang drew a clear line with a courteous smile.
Watching her walk away, Romi looked dejectedly at San.
He, who had been observing them from a distance, could only offer a smile.
She appeared momentarily dejected, but in no time, she briskly got up and chased after Kang.
“Senior! Let’s go together!”
Seeing Romi trailing her like a puppy, Kang showed a hint of discomfort and said,
“Romi.”
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry, but I take time to get close.”
“Okay…”

“If you come close so quickly, I’ll pull away even more.”
So let’s take it slow. Let’s get to know each other naturally, she suggested.
Considering San was in the middle of it all, she couldn’t abruptly push Romi away, but she also wasn’t ready to accept what she wasn’t ready for.
It was an inevitable situation.
Merely opening up to her already took immense effort on Kang’s part.
Kang moved away to avoid Romi once more, and the latter, left behind, looked back at San.
He, from a distance, gave a slight nod.
It meant to let it be.
Romi turned her head and gazed at Kang’s receding figure.
However, she didn’t chase after her again.

A moment later,
After Director Seong Chan-su and writer Yang Eun-oh offered their prayers to the pig’s head, they shouted in turn,
“May our drama be a huge hit!”
“I’m not even hoping for a big hit. Just ensure that the actors don’t have accidents, the writers don’t run away, and that we safely conclude by the finale.”
Sighs of agreement could be heard from various corners.
Thus, the shooting of the drama ‘Secret Garden’ officially began.
Ban made his appearance on set around that time.
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.”
