Chul Soo, who seemed determined, clamped his mouth shut. He jumped out of his spot and approached the desk.
“One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand… hundred million?”
At his words, Jin Soo and Kwang Jung also rushed over ecstatically.
“Really. Is this, is this for us?”
“Yes. But I think I need to receive an apology first.”
Kwon Jae Ha said with a placid smile.
“Apology? What kind of…?”
“Do you not know what an apology is?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I apologize!”
“I also apologize!”
“These damn fools. Apologizing so eagerly, thinking they know what’s happening.”
They came rushing without hesitation, such a spectacle. Kwon Jae Ha’s bitter smile deepened.
“Mr. Kwang Jung, that rathole sized store. [Eddy, what was it?]”
[It’s usually called a PC room.]
“Right, a PC room. There wasn’t such a deficit before.”
“What, what? You did a background check?”
“A respectable man who even has a daughter did such a shameless act.”
“That, that was because I was drunk……”
“Yes, alcohol.”
The long finger that picked up one of the cheques started to tear the paper in half.
Almost torn into two pieces.
“Ah! Stop! I, I was wrong! Please forgive me!”
Kwang Jung, who had been bowing, rubbed his hands together, and the brothers who saw this scene chuckled mercilessly.
Jae Ha, with an emotionless face, leaned deep into his chair.
Creak screech the unpleasant noise made by the wornout metal echoed throughout the wide space.
“Kneel.”
It was a low, subtle voice, but clearly as cold and chilling as iron.
“……What?”
“Didn’t you hear? I. Said. Kneel.”
The moment Jae Ha checked the time again.
Kwang Jung’s knee hit the floor with a dull thud. It sounded like his bones might have broken.
The knees of the two brothers also quickly fell to the dusty floor.
For exactly seven minutes afterward, Jae Ha whistled while making the chair creak.
None of those who had knelt seemed to dare stand up. Only faint moans were heard from time to time.
In front of Eun Jo, who filled her stomach with water due to her hiccups, an appetizer was placed.
A dish that seemed to be just a mouthful in a fancy plate. It was scallop ceviche.
The fresh scent tickled her nose, but there wasn’t a single drop of saliva forming in Eun Jo’s mouth, which felt like it was drying up.
“Eat. You like seafood.”
“……Yes.”
Jae Ha, who picked up his fork first, took a small piece into his mouth.
“It’s soft and very sweet.”
“……”
Eun Jo’s face, nodding her head, was whitened to the point where it could no longer be pale.
“Thank you. For giving me the chance to help.”
“Huh? No! I, I should be thankful. But, not 6,000 but 6hic.”
Jae Ha’s face, pushing her water glass towards her, was filled with a gentle smile.
“It did cost more than I thought.”
Eun Jo couldn’t nod her head as she was gulping down the cold water.
“……”
“But you’ve managed to keep your mouth shut, so it worked out well, didn’t it?”
Did it really work out well? Eun Jo couldn’t take her hands, feverish with heat, off the cool glass.
“Hmm, it melts gently.”
The small, cut pieces of apple crunched. It added a good texture, as well as a refreshing taste. The subtle but deep nutty flavor of the pine nuts added to the flavor.
But there was another reason why her mouth was salivating.
The white fuzz of her neck, exposed under her neatly tied hair.
The two pretty lumps that rose and fell as she gasped in surprise.
Her slim and slender legs, obviously gathered neatly under the table.
Even if he sank his teeth into her right now, it wouldn’t be enough. He was on the verge of going crazy just looking at her. He wondered how long the pretentious smile hanging on the end of his lips would last.
Jae Ha slowly scanned Eun Jo’s white hand with his eyes. Her posture was helpless, holding the small fork.
“……I’ll try to do it as quickly as possible.”
“Quickly what? Am I intruding if there’s someone to give it to?”
Jae Ha, who slowly wiped his lips with a napkin, narrowed his brow.
His scant patience disappeared too easily. Just by imagining another bastard.
As expected, when Eun Jo, who frowned, put down her fork, the napkin in Jae Ha’s hand was crumpled.
“That’s right, with that pretty face, it’s only fair for guys to line up to pay about 600 million.”
Eun Jo looked at Jae Ha’s face with scrutiny.
Even when they were young, living together, he often acted like this.
He was often ready to drop the shoulder even when he was being nice if his mood got twisted.
There were times when she thought it was cute and lovely. Like a bigsized child, craving for affection.
But now, it’s just annoying.
600 million… How could he suddenly appear and…
Ah… There was a faint doubt in Eun Jo’s eyes. Several scenes were confusingly mixed in her head.
But she didn’t have the strength to piece it together right now.
“……Give me some time. There will be a way.”
“There’s none.”
“……”
“You, there’s no way.”
“Not hoping that there isn’t one?”
“Perhaps.”
Jae Ha, who answered curtly, stood up from his seat and buttoned up his jacket.
“Let’s go. I lost my appetite.”
She didn’t have an appetite to begin with. Eun Jo quickly stood up from her seat.
“I’ll go my way. Anyway, I ate well and I will soon……”
Jae Ha, who had already started walking briskly in front, seemed to have no intention of listening to her words.
He stopped in front of the elevator as he left the restaurant and suddenly turned around.
“There’s a way to pay it back in one go.”
“……?”
Before she could even be surprised, his hot breath brushed past her ear.
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.”
