In the break room, employees of the marketing team, including Su Ah, were gathered and chatting.
“Did you see that? A new team is moving into the vacant space next to us.”
“A new team? What kind of team is it?”
“They said it’s the Brand Launching TF Team.”
“Ah. It was nice having the 25th floor to ourselves. This could get a bit inconvenient.”
Some of the employees already seemed to worry about the inevitable discomfort of sharing a floor, their expressions not very pleased.
“Is this about the new TF team issue?”
The voices from an unexpected source made all the employees in the break room look in the same direction.
“Vi, Vice Chairman.”
The complaining employee jumped up from his seat as if he’d been sprung.
“Vice Chairman, I, I didn’t mean it that way.”
The employee, his mind gone blank, stammered and broke into a cold sweat.
It was clear that under normal circumstances, he would have been severely reprimanded with a fierce gaze for having complaints about the company’s directives.
However.
“Hmm. That is indeed a situation that could cause inconvenience.”
…Huh? Did I hear wrong?
Caught off guard by Ha Joon’s unexpected comment, all the employees in the break room widened their eyes.
“No, sir. It’s not inconvenient. There’s no problem at all.”
Despite his assertion that everything was fine, the employees vehemently denied Ha Joon’s statement, waving their hands.
“No, it’s not. It’s definitely an area that could be inconvenient.”
Despite their insistence that everything was okay, he kept mentioning potential inconvenience. What was his angle?
The employees swallowed hard, their expressions bewildered.
“The TF Team’s office will be renovated to be as separate from the marketing team as possible. I expect there will be many inconveniences, but this team will be leaving as soon as this project is completed. We ask for your understanding during this time.”
The employees could only blink, unable to show any response.
And so, a time of awkward silence passed.
“Ah, it’s now work hours. I will get back to my work.”
At one employee’s words, the rest strongly agreed and swiftly tidied up their places.
The employees quickly disappeared like a receding tide, and just as Su Ah, who had been left alone, was about to leave the break room,
“Everything is going according to plan.”
Ha Joon leaned in and whispered into Su Ah’s ear.
“What plan?”
Su Ah turned her head quickly and, not daring to speak out loud, asked with her lips.
“You’ll find out soon.”
Instead of answering, Ha Joon left a meaningful smile and disappeared into the underconstruction area.
What on earth was he planning? He wouldn’t even tell her.
Su Ah shook her head and soon returned to her desk.
As she was about to start on the work she hadn’t finished in the morning, a PR team employee came into the office.
The PR team employee put some documents on Min Jun’s desk and patted his shoulder.
“Poor Mr. Kim, what are we going to do about you?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Min Jun, who had been staring at his computer monitor, turned his head.
“Starting from next week, the TF team will start working here next door.”
“So? What’s that to me?”
“You’re going to be on the same floor as the Vice Chairman, why are you so relaxed?”
“Vice Chairman? What are you talking about?”
For a moment, Min Jun’s eyes widened as if they were about to burst.
“You didn’t know? The Vice Chairman’s name is on the brand launching TF team’s list.”
“That can’t be. That’s impossible.”
“Well, that’s why you could afford to be so relaxed because you didn’t know.”
The PR team employee chuckled and once again placed a hand on Min Jun’s shoulder.
“So, how about it. Will you buy me a drink after work to console me?”
“…Would one drink be enough?”
Damn. It seemed like he would have to be on his toes all day long.
Sigh. With a deep sigh, Min Jun’s shoulders dropped.
When the PR team employee left the office, Min Jun, as if in disbelief, tore at his hair and looked at the construction site.
Even though he was a superior, was he that much of a nuisance?
Su Ah looked around with a puzzled expression, and the expressions of the other male employees were not much different from Min Jun’s.
“It looks like we’re going to be working hard for a while.”
“Exactly. I wonder if we’ll be able to even properly drink a cup of coffee while under the Vice Chairman’s watch…”
Wasn’t it okay to use the café on the first floor or take a walk at any time during work hours? Why would they feel watched?
“Do you mean the Vice Chairman is always keeping an eye on you?”
Su Ah asked curiously.
“No, it’s not that he keeps an eye on us, but rather, he makes us feel watched.”
“He makes you feel watched?”
“Seeing the Vice Chairman work so tirelessly, just watching him makes you feel like you’re being watched.”
Ah. She hadn’t really seen him work, so how could she know? It was a reason she hadn’t expected at all.
“But then again, he’s so cool when he works that you can’t take your eyes off him.”
“Right. There are times when I want to be the paper in his approval tray.”
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.”
