At that time, I was alone, but this time, I wanted to feel that moment together. Thinking that he would surely like it, I grabbed him and asked if it would be okay today.
“The shoot got canceled, so I only have academy classes today. What are you doing after the morning appointment? If you have no plans―”
“I have a prior appointment today, sorry.”
“…No, it’s okay, really.”
I couldn’t control my expression well because I thought I was a step late.
It seemed that he could see my regretful feelings on my face too. While he was brushing away my cheek with a smile, he said he would take a day off tomorrow.
I agreed again.
Swallowing the hidden implication that I might not be here tomorrow.
Eunjae smiled with a hint of regret, leaving the disappointment behind. She put the umbrella back into the drawer and momentarily pushed the suitcase she had taken out to the corner, intending to pack later.
Let’s postpone it for just one day. Just one day. It should be okay for one day. Thinking like that,
Wearing an umbrella, Eunjae stepped into the backyard, cherishing each step as she walked through the garden. And she captured in her eyes the beautiful scenes that she wouldn’t see after today.
Various flowers were blooming in the surroundings, not just hydrangeas and tulips.
A yellow flower covered in raindrops caught her attention. She wanted to see it up close. As she reached out to it, she inadvertently made a small sound as she stepped into a puddle.
“Oh, it’s cold.”
Should have worn boots. As she looked down at her already thoroughly soaked sneakers, a scene flashed through Eunjae’s mind.
It was right in this spot.
He had asked to play together, but he had neatly dressed up, wearing an umbrella alone.
How annoying that sight was. The day he deliberately stepped on a puddle to splash water when I was wearing sneakers and not boots.
“What are you doing?”
“I told you to wear boots.”
“Seriously.”
If he had known that those sneakers were worth 2 million won, he wouldn’t have made such a joke.
Later, when I received his sneakers for laundry from Aunt Seongsan, I was so surprised to hear that story.
“Right? Who comes out wearing something like that?”
As Eunjae muttered to herself and chuckled, she suddenly looked up at the detached building.
At first, the detached building felt unfamiliar and large, but now it felt cozy and familiar. It felt like a real home.
“It’s been almost three months since I came here.”
I was happy. It was the happiest three months of my life, no exaggeration.
And those thoughts inevitably brought him to my mind. My handsome husband Yoon Sunwoo, who looked cool when he smiled, when he frowned, and especially when he had a blank expression.
“I saw him this morning, but I want to see him again. It’s severe, really severe.”
Having dreamed such a good dream for three months, I thought I could easily endure the next three years, thinking that way while wiping my eyes that were getting moist.
“What are you doing?”
When I said I missed him, I wondered if it was an auditory hallucination. Eunjae’s eyes, following the source of the voice, quickly widened.
“What if we got confused? I was worried.”
He was really standing on the other side.
“Really… Sunwoo?”
“Would there be a fake one?”
It wasn’t an illusion, nor was it a mirage. It was really him. He approached Eunjae with a cheerful smile.
“No, why… why are you here?”
“I have a little time left, so how about lunch together?”
Before Sunwoo’s words could finish, Eunjae threw the umbrella aside and jumped into Sunwoo’s arms.
“Our wife, I didn’t know you were so spirited. Can’t you be like this normally?”
“…….”
“Your expression this morning looked upset, and it kept bothering me.”
Sunwoo was momentarily bewildered by Eunjae’s sudden actions, but he smiled while gently stroking Eunjae’s head as it rested against him.
“When that happens, I feel like dropping everything and running to you. It drives me crazy.”
Tears that had been held back all along poured out at the sound of his sweet voice. Everything crumbled.
“I feel like I can breathe only when I see you like this. It’s really insane.”
“…….?”
“Do you feel the same way?”
“I do… Yes, I do.”
Nodding again, Eunjae buried her face in his arms. The tears flowing endlessly stained his chest. The hand that held onto his sleeve tightened involuntarily.
How could I leave you after seeing you like this? How could I possibly go on without you?
“Eunjae, look at me. Look at me for a moment.”
Despite Sunwoo’s words, Eunjae raised her head without responding and buried her face even deeper in his embrace.
Carefully separating Eunjae’s stirring shoulders, Sunwoo gently lifted her face. He caressed the reddened eyes with his thumbs.
“It’s still so easy to make Lee Eunjae cry.”
“That’s why you should have said something before coming. If you had talked to me, I wouldn’t have been so shocked.”
“There’s medicine in the bedside drawer. Take a shower and eat as soon as we go inside.”
“What kind of medicine—”
Thud! The umbrella he was holding fell to the ground, and his boiling hands landed on Eunjae’s cold cheeks.
Her breath got caught. The liquid, whether rain or tears, flowed into her mouth sharply.
She was drenched all over. Nevertheless, he held me even tighter with even stronger strength.
I thought I could hold you anytime I wanted. I thought you would always be there to hold me.
If I had known that your embrace was this warm, if I had known that I would miss your embrace so much, I would have asked you to hold me a little more. I would have told you that I love you more. I would have expressed a little more, been a little more honest.
Eunjae reached out with both hands and gently wiped his cheeks.
“You said you came for a moment. What should I do? We’re completely soaked.”
Tears, being swept away by the rain, continued to flow. Sunwoo wiped Eunjae’s moist eyes and aligned their gazes.
“Eunjae.”
“…….?”
“You know.”
“I feel a bit cold.”
We know how much we love each other. So, I hope you didn’t know until the end.
Just like ordinary lovers, accumulating resentment, misunderstanding, piling them up in the chest, arguing, hurting, and then making up. Hoping to naturally become a distant ordinary couple.
I hope you can occasionally smile when you think of me in your memories and remain as the woman you once passionately loved.
Hatred, resentment, hatred, sadness, longing. Those negative thoughts are entirely mine.
Happiness, sadness, pain, okay, what you’re thinking right now. Because we are a couple who can understand each other with just a glance.
So don’t say anything.
“Hug me.”
Since it seems like you know everything, don’t say anything.
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.”
