“I’m full, I want to stop.”
After Taehui ate only half of her meal and put down her chopsticks, a persistent gaze silently touched her.
It was a look that carried an unspoken message, wishing her to eat a bit more.
Knowing Sajun’s concerned feelings and the importance of eating well for the baby, she was aware. But for now, this was the best she could do.
“Still, it’s better than the soup.”
Only then did Sajun nod as if he reluctantly accepted it. He muttered quietly, “Little by little.”
Seeing Sajun clearing the table, Taehui spoke up.
“I asked my mom to come to Seoul, but she refused.”
“Why?”
Sajun asked calmly.
“She said it’s unfair to come up now. That person is treating her well, like pulling out a splinter for her. She wants to see him treating her well and see that woman’s disgusted expression as much as possible before coming.”
“…….”
“But you know what’s funny? At first, she insisted not to come, but when she heard that I’m doing well with you, she said she won’t come. She used to be like that when I was young too, but she seems to trust you too much.”
Come to think of it, that’s how it was. Even though her well-raised daughter was going to visit a house with a boy of the same age alone, Hyesuk even sent snacks.
“Adults do have a different perspective.”
Sajun, who arrogantly spoke, placed a steaming mug in front of Taehui.
The fragrance revealed it was her favorite cream caramel rooibos tea.
“Is this okay?”
“Yeah, it’s good.”
Sajun pulled a chair next to Taehui and sat down.
“What you asked me, I talked to my grandfather about it.”
She almost burned her tongue with the hot water.
Taehui opened her eyes wide and asked, “….Why?”
“If I’ve done wrong to you, I have to repay it. That way, I can face the ancestral tablet properly, and you can see it too. Besides, my grandfather is an expert in that field. He can force people to spit out what they want.”
“You didn’t tell him everything, did you?”
“I told him everything.”
With a very neat answer, Taehui glared at Sajun.
“Hey, you fool! Why would you tell everything as if it’s a good thing? Were you always this loose-lipped?”
“There are no eternal secrets. Even if you don’t reveal them to the world, you still have to face the consequences for the sins you committed.”
There was no sign of Sajun showing remorse. It wasn’t that he thought it was a wrong statement, he just wanted to quietly move past it. For Min Suntai and his family, there were other ways to take revenge, and he didn’t want to dirty his hands with such a stained name.
“So, you’re saying you’ll take that punishment instead of me?”
“No, my grandfather will.”
Taehui burst into laughter, finding it absurd. It seemed early then, but it was indeed too early now.
What does he think he is, a grand papa boy or something?
“But then my grandfather handed it over to my father.”
“….!”
“That kind of dirty work is my father’s specialty.”
Ugh, instead of shouting, Taehui closed her eyes tightly. She couldn’t get angry because he did it with consideration, and she couldn’t praise him either.
Quietly suppressing emotions, my body jolted. Startled, I opened my eyes to find myself sitting on Sajun’s lap.
Sajun wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and rested his face on my shoulder.
“Sorry for acting on my own, Mintaehui.”
The moment my heart was lifted by his affectionate apology whispered in my ear, it instantly dulled.
No, it felt like it had already dulled from the moment I was embraced by this warmth and comfortable touch.
As Taehui stayed quietly nestled, Sajun sighed and spoke.
“You know, parents shouldn’t only think of good things; they shouldn’t do bad things either. So, I’m trying not to do bad things.”
“…….,”
“When I meet that person, I feel like I might cause trouble, so I handed it over to my grandfather. I asked him to scold you instead of me.”
I didn’t fail to understand Sajun’s feelings. Instead, I felt grateful for his explosive support, making me feel truly precious to him.
Still, thinking that caution was necessary, Taehui leaned against Sajun’s chest and said, “Promise me you’ll discuss anything with me in the future.”
Taehui also made mistakes.
No, perhaps she made more mistakes than Sajun, who seemed to be less swayed by emotions.
But Sajun always answered that he knew and reassured her.
He simply stood quietly by her side like a blue pine tree.
Thinking like that, everything from one to ten about herself seemed petty, and Sajun seemed like a big person.
“I promise.”
Hearing Sajun’s response, Taehui let out a light sigh.
“How can I face Grandfather and the chairman now?”
“Why feel embarrassed? You didn’t do anything wrong. And both of them adore you without lying. They say you’re charming just by breathing. Grandfather even calls you a ‘boulder.'”
“I’m a boulder?”
Sajun’s large hand covered Taehui’s belly.
“You’re growing a boulder here.”
With a voice full of laughter, Taehui also burst into laughter.
Since things turned out this way, she decided to thoroughly make use of this situation.

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.”
