Yoon picked out a simple dress that Kyung Hwa had chosen for her a while back. Along with it, Kyung Hwa had also given her a black mini bag to carry when she wore the dress.
“You must wear this dress when you visit your parents’ house. This dress is a limited edition and isn’t easy to find. So, you absolutely must wear it and flatten your nose……”
Kyung Hwa stumbled on her words and kept complaining about how could a mother buy such a dress for her daughter.
Eventually, Yoon ended up going back to the house in Seongbukdong today. It had been ten years since she had left that house.
“It’s okay.”
Indeed. She was no longer a little girl. She was an adult. She wasn’t a ragdoll that they could treat any way they wanted, and she had no reason to tolerate such treatment, then or now.
Sitting at the vanity, Yoon did her makeup as Kyung Hwa had instructed.
“Sigh……”
The beautifully dressed Yoon in the mirror let out a sigh.
She had only lived in that house for about two years, but she couldn’t understand how the horrible memories remained so stubbornly in her mind. If she could, she really wanted to erase them completely.
Bad memories were persistent, evil, and cruel. They clung and followed her, tormenting her.
Perhaps that’s why she had lived even harder. To not fall apart because of those terrible memories, to not give up.
“Yoon, let’s be strong.”
Yoon took a deep breath and left the room.
As she descended the stairs, Kang Hyun was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed. He was often unable to sleep properly due to latenight filming, and he also suffered from insomnia.
“Why can’t he sleep well?”
The irregular lifestyle characteristic of his acting profession seemed to exacerbate his symptoms. His eyes, always bloodshot, now looked pitiful.
“I’m down.”
As she cautiously approached him and spoke, he slowly opened his eyes.
“Is this the dress Kyung Hwa picked?”
“Yes.”
No matter what dress Yoon wore, Kyung Hwa never held back her praise, saying the dress killed it. To Kang Hyun, it also looked good. No, he really liked it.
“Let’s go.”
He stood up from his seat. Whether it was the slim fit of the suit or not, he seemed taller, causing Yoon to tilt her head.
Dressed in a suit, he looked quite different from his usual self. That look also seemed cool.
Kang Hyun put his arm around her shoulders and they left the house. Standing in the elevator, Kang Hyun furrowed his brow at the sight of her pale face in the mirror.
“Are you hurt?”
“I couldn’t sleep much last night.”
Yoon had hardly slept, thinking about going back to Seongbukdong. She tried to sleep at least a little, but her consciousness only grew clearer, so she eventually gave up on trying to sleep.
“Aren’t you studying too hard?”
Kang Hyun thought that she hadn’t slept because she was studying.
“I can’t study that hard.”
“There’s no need to push yourself to the point of damaging your health. If you don’t pass this year, you can take the exam next year.”
He spoke while gently stroking her cheek, which looked unusually haggard today.
“Yes.”
As the elevator stopped, he took her hand and they descended.
“Why are your hands so cold?”
“My hands are usually a bit cold.”
“Really? That’s good. I tend to run hot.”
He put a glove on her hand and walked to the car, opening the passenger door for her.
“You should always put on your seatbelt when you get in the car.”
As Yoon sat in a daze, caught up in various complicated thoughts, he reached out and fastened her seatbelt. In the process, he didn’t miss the opportunity to steal a kiss from her lips.
As Yoon looked surprised, he patted her cheek with a smile and started driving the car, gently turning the steering wheel.
“It must be nice to be on vacation. Lots of free time.”
“Ah……”
While she was busy studying, she felt somewhat guilty seeing Kang Hyun, who hardly had time to step into the house because of his work and couldn’t even sleep properly.
She had made up her mind to be assertive and came with a strong resolve, but when the familiar neighborhood scenery, which she didn’t want to see even in her dreams, came into view, Yoon just closed her eyes.
Every time she rode the driver’s car after school and passed by here, she wished that time would stop. She even wanted to disappear like smoke.
‘You fool, what are you doing? Run away.’
But she didn’t have the courage to do that. No, she didn’t have the strength to do that.
‘If that’s what you want, then go on living there. You fool.’
She felt as if she could still hear someone’s mockery. Yoon plugged her ears.
“What are you doing?”
He, who had gotten out of the car first, asked, finding it strange when he opened the passenger door and saw Yoon covering her ears.
“I feel a bit dizzy……”
“Do you want to just go? You don’t seem to be in good condition today.”
Yoon’s eyes widened at Kang Hyun’s words.
‘Does that mean I can just go? If that’s the case……’
However, her hopes were shattered with the arrival of Kyung Ho, her halfbrother.
“Come on in.”
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.”
