Su Hee hadn’t done anything wrong by shedding tears, yet she turned her head towards the opposite side of Seung Jo.
Swiftly wiping away her tears, Su Hee used all her might to hold back her impending sobs.
“I didn’t want to be like this….”
Seung Jo raised his hand at the sight of Su Hee covering her mouth with her palm.
He wanted to grab her trembling shoulders and turn her around.
It was heartbreaking to see her, unable to cry her heart out.
All he wanted to do while listening to her story was to embrace her.
He wanted to hold her tight in his arms until she felt warmth and not let her go.
However, all he could do from his position was just watch.
Eventually, the hand he had raised fell back down.
Seung Jo took out a navy handkerchief from inside his jacket and handed it to Su Hee.
“Use it.”
Without looking at Seung Jo, Su Hee reached out and took the handkerchief.
Su Hee, who had been sniffling, spread the handkerchief and covered her nose.
Suddenly, as if a fullgrown elephant had appeared, Seung Jo’s eyes widened.
Calmly, Su Hee folded the handkerchief and pressed it against the tip of her nose.
“I’ll wash it and give it back to you.”
Seung Jo raised his hand as if to refuse.
“No, just throw it away.”
Su Hee, turning her head away, looked at Seung Jo with teary eyes, teasing him.
“Is it because I blew my nose so it’s dirty?”
“You have to be precise with your words. You didn’t just blow your nose, you blew a lot.”
“Ha ha.”
Because of Seung Jo’s unnecessarily precise words, Su Hee burst out laughing.
Quickly composed herself from laughing, Su Hee mumbled.
“Oh, I shouldn’t laugh after crying.”
Just a moment ago, her breath seemed to be completely blocked, and Su Hee looked up at the sky as she let it out.
The large crescent moon, which had been hidden behind the clouds just a moment ago, was now shining above her head.
“I feel a bit better after venting.”
Seung Jo lifted his chin and looked at the spot Su Hee was gazing at.
“I’m glad you’re feeling better.”
A face of sadness rose above the yellow moon that seemed as if someone had taken a bite out of it.
Feeling as if the sadness was looking at her, Su Hee’s nose tingled and turned red.
‘Mom, I think I won’t be able to keep my promise. I still love being an actress too much.’
Perhaps the curse that had been cast upon her would never disappear in her lifetime.
Even so, she hoped that her mother would hate her just a little bit.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t said thank you.”
Su Hee, who had been staring at the night sky all the time, spoke to Seung Jo.
“Thank you for listening to my story.”
Their gazes met in the void where the night air flowed.
Then, Su Hee’s eyes widened in tranquility.
This was because Seung Jo’s hand touched her cheek.
Before the tears hanging on the edge of her eyes flowed down her cheeks, they met Seung Jo’s thumb.
The hand on her cheek was cautious, and the hand wiping away her tears was gentle.
Su Hee didn’t push Seung Jo’s hand away, she accepted it.
‘Is it okay to do this much. To touch you.’
If you had a man you loved rather, your wounds wouldn’t have festered this much.
Even when you were young, people were constantly around you.
Among all those people, didn’t anyone exist to whom you could bare your heart?
How have you lived in pain all this while?
I wished you were happy.
What I wanted to see were not tears of sadness, but tears of joy.
When Seung Jo withdrew his hand that wiped away the tears, Su Hee slightly rubbed the spot where his hand had touched.
“Representative Han Seung Jo is really ironic.”
“In what way is it ironic?”
Su Hee, leaning on the bonnet with both hands, looked up at Seung Jo.
“Sometimes you’re so cold as to be cruel, and sometimes you’re so tender as to bring tears.”
“……”
“I wish you would just do one. It’s confusing sometimes.”
Seung Jo chuckled and laughed softly.
His laughter might have been drowned out by the rough wave sounds, but the laughter reaching her ears was clear.
Keeping a faintly spread smile, he said.
“If you want, I’ll just do one.”
“……”
“Preferably, the tender enough to bring tears one.”
Why does he smile so warmly?
It makes my heart flutter for no reason.
From the black sky to the black sea. She wasn’t lonely in the world painted all black.
Is all this because of Han Seung Jo?
If not, was it because it was the first time she had received consolation from someone?
“Honestly, at first, I thought you might insult me when you heard my story.”
“Why would you think that?”
“Because if I had given up on being an actress, my mom wouldn’t have left like that.”
“I find you, Oh Su Hee, remarkable.”
Su Hee’s lower lip quivered and trembled.
“For not giving up on the work you love even after going through such things. For somehow enduring and living.”
People sometimes find answers in unexpected places.
Like Su Hee never expected to receive comfort from a man named Han Seung Jo.
“I didn’t expect you to say that.”
The words she uttered seemed slightly trembling.
Ever since Ae Ran left the world, Su Hee felt as if she was living alone on a small planet.
On a planet where no one else existed, she had been living, gnawing at herself.
When she had been left with only a nail’s worth of existence and it wouldn’t be strange if she disappeared, he seemed like the only person who came to comfort her in her pain.
“If I had cared for Miss Oh Su Hee, I would have said the same.”
“……”
“That everything isn’t your fault, that you don’t have to take responsibility for everything that’s happened.”
Her heart swelled up like a balloon, as if it could burst at any moment.
Why do you make me feel this way?
How much do you know about me to stand on my side?
“Just a few days ago, I thought I would die, but now, I feel like I can live a bit more.”
Su Hee gave a refreshing smile.
“Thanks to you, Mr. President.”
Somehow, there are days like that.
A day when it feels like you can bear whatever happens.
That day was today. Today, no matter what happened, she felt like she could endure it.
“It sounds like a confession.”
Seung Jo’s lips curved into a crescent moonlike smile.
“Sometimes, the one causing confusion isn’t me, it seems like it’s Miss Oh Su Hee.”
It was a little strange.
The air flowing between them had changed in an instant.
If it could be seen as a color, it probably would have looked a lot like pale pink.

The man in the driver’s seat pressed the shutter consecutively as the movements continued.
The subjects contained in the rectangular screen were Su Hee and Seung Jo.

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.”
