The thought of driving Sejin to the practice studio, like in the past, made Yura feel sick. It seemed ridiculous to be doing this again. Although not the same car as before, the memories of that time were enough to dampen her spirits further.
Unwanted memories of those times began to intrude her mind.
Back then, she was anxiously awaiting Sejin’s contact for days. He wasn’t answering calls and only sent brief text messages. Then, she received a call from Sejin’s acquaintance.
“Hello?”
“Yura, has Sejin moved?”
“Moved? What are you talking about?”
Though she had received texts saying he was busy, there was never any mention of moving.
“The house is empty. I came over because he sounded awful yesterday, but no one’s here. The landlord said he moved out suddenly this morning. What’s going on?”
“I’ll call you back.”
Yura had received texts until the day before, but today she hadn’t checked in due to her own preoccupations.
A sense of foreboding overwhelmed Yura, but she refused to believe that something was wrong. Without considering pulling over, she called Sejin first. However, the only response was a short, automated message stating the number was unavailable.
As the call disconnected, Yura’s vision blurred, and she inadvertently veered the car, crashing into the guardrail. A loud crash resounded painfully in her ears, coinciding with the navigation system announcing her arrival.
“Destination reached. Ending guidance.”
With the heavy mechanical voice, Yura was jolted back from her memories.
As the office door closed with a dull thud, Yi Hyun watched Secretary Park’s departure and turned to Yu Gun.
“It’s pretty low pressure here.”
Yu Gun, visibly annoyed, furrowed his brow, revealing his troubled mind.
“Do you know where Director Baek is?”
“Why do you ask about Baek?”
“Do you know or not?”
“He must be somewhere.”
“Ugh.”
Yu Gun clicked his tongue in displeasure as Yi Hyun nonchalantly settled on the sofa. Yu Gun was increasingly frustrated by his inability to act immediately.
“Is this about Oh Sejin?”
Yi Hyun, sitting elegantly on the sofa with his legs crossed, asked, causing Yu Gun to adjust his tie in frustration and sit opposite him. Yi Hyun’s hand rhythmically tapped his thigh, a small habit he displayed when deep in thought or intrigued. To Yu Gun, even such minor habits were easily noticeable after over 20 years of friendship.
“Always with the crazy intelligence.”
Yi Hyun’s exceptional information-gathering ability was beyond imagination. His keen eye and excellent judgment allowed him to accumulate even the smallest details, find jewels within the vast information, or grasp someone’s weaknesses. Oh Sejin was likely one among that wealth of information.
“Do you know why Oh Sejin is here?”
Yi Hyun stopped his tapping and let out a half-smirk.
“I don’t have clairvoyance in my set of skills.”
“Insane.”
Frustrated at not getting any useful information from Yi Hyun, Yu Gun leaned back against the sofa, staring up at the white ceiling, muttering to himself.
“I was going to give him a real scare this time.”
“But?”
“I can’t lay a finger on him because Jin Yura is in charge of his concert.”
“Responsible for the artist.”
Yi Hyun slowly repeated Yu Gun’s words, seemingly displeased. Understanding that Yi Hyun’s feelings towards Yura were similar to his own, Yu Gun sat up straighter, venting his frustration he had been holding back.
“Why in the world is she planning a concert for such a guy?”
“She separates work and personal matters well. Our Jin team leader does.”
Encouraged by Yi Hyun’s tone, which seemed to praise his sister, Yu Gun brightened up momentarily. However, his frustration returned as he confided.
“What can Yura do? That crazy guy won’t do anything.”
“What happened?”
Yi Hyun, usually uninterested in anything non-work-related, showed curiosity. Seizing the opportunity, Yu Gun leaned forward, ready to spill everything he had been holding back.
“I called her office because she wasn’t answering, and they told me she left with Oh Sejin.”
“So? What’s wrong with them leaving together?”
Yu Gun closed his eyes tightly and shook his head, as if he were a detective, his gaze narrowing further.
“The atmosphere was a bit off. Yura kept a stern face throughout, and Oh Sejin was smirking all the time.”
At these words, Yi Hyun’s expression suddenly turned icy.
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.”
