Jae Ha sank deeply into the straight-lined sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass.
“Yoon Yeo Jin…”
I picked up the rustling envelope caught on my fingertips.
The slanted envelope spilled out photos with a thud.
There were various pictures: the couple tangled in the car, holding hands affectionately, and more.
The envelope was packed with the intensely private life of his half-sibling, without any filter.
“You already knew about the affair…?”
Jae Ha was quite surprised to learn that Yeo Jin knew about it.
What exactly did she know, and who was the Yoon Yeo Jin he had come to know?
His thoughts were tangled and disorganized, unable to process everything.
He held his forehead and suddenly picked up his ringing phone.
“CEO, have you negotiated with the young lady?”
Far from negotiating, the deal that was supposed to be about Seo Ji Han’s affair had been completely scrapped.
As he hadn’t even imagined this situation, a bitter laugh escaped Jae Ha’s lips.
“She already knew about the affair.”
“…What? Really? The young lady already knew?”
“You’re surprised too, Secretary Han? So am I. It’s driving me crazy.”
Especially when she talked about revenge, she seemed to lose words in astonishment.
He didn’t know that the quiet woman had enough talent to shut a businessman’s mouth.
“Find out if there’s any sign of the fact that I’m the CEO of KBC Holdings leaking out.”
It seemed that I had fallen asleep after spending the night with my eyes open, and I woke up naturally.
The day had dawned, and the morning sunlight was shining down.
I pushed aside the rustling blanket from my fingertips and got up from my bed.
“Should I go to the hospital?”
Since returning, I had no memory of falling into a deep sleep.
One day, the scene of Ji Han and Seo Rin tangled together crossed my mind, and on another day, I remembered the day I faced Jae Ha.
“Ji Hyun said I need to treat my insomnia too.”
The words of Ji Hyun, a family medicine doctor at Daejin Hospital, came to my mind.
When I turned on the phone next to my bed, my gaze stopped at the picture on the screen.
There were pictures of Seo Rin and Ji Han, who had continued to meet even after the funeral.
“You probably don’t know what I know, do you?”
There wasn’t much time left.
After the shareholders’ meeting, their happy lives in two households would turn into hell.
As I opened the window, a cool breeze tickled my cheeks.
Until the moment we parted last night, I couldn’t hear a definite answer from Jae Ha.
“When is the shareholders’ meeting?”
“Next week.”
Jae Ha, who had been quietly listening to my story, just asked when the shareholders’ meeting was.
He was a man whose intentions were hard to fathom.
“Did I jump the gun?”
Did I speak too hastily about Hojin? I shook my head at the wave of regret that came over me.
“No, that was certain.”
Because I saw his eyes, which were calm for a moment when I talked about Hojin, waver.
As I was lost in thought, the phone I had placed on the windowsill lit up with a short vibration.
“…A message?”
The long-awaited contact had arrived.
[Do you have time? How about now?]The carefully nurtured fish finally bit the bait.
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.”
