“Sorry is unnecessary. What more can you ask for after coming back like this?”
“I wanted to greet you, but I felt like it would be too hard for me if I saw you, so…”
Oh my, getting old is troublesome. Seongsan-daek muttered to herself, wiping her eyes with the apron she pulled, saying, “Food?”
Probably not hearing the question due to sniffles, Eunjae seemed to be sniffling. Sunwoo, patting Eunjae’s back, answered the question instead.
“Not yet.”
“Good. I made sea urchin seaweed soup that Aunt Jisamo likes.”
Raw. Bursting into laughter at their sudden change in mood, Eunjae and Seongsan-daek exchanged smiles.
In fact, I couldn’t erase the thought that while staying in this house, it felt like being treated as a guest. It was my own thought, and I realized it too late. Nevertheless, my chest swelled with emotion, and tears flowed incessantly.
The smell of delicious food, a place where a welcoming person awaits.
Everything familiar here warmed my heart; this was truly my home.
While the dining table was filled with various side dishes, Eunjae, sitting across from Sunwoo, asked cautiously.
“Where is your mother?”
“She’ll probably come in by dawn. Let’s greet her tomorrow morning.”
“Yes…”
Sunwoo, neatly placing the utensils during Eunjae’s murmured monologue, calmly replied.
“Stop it.”
“Kim Driver? Why? All of a sudden like this?”
“There was an issue, it’s a long story. Since it’s late today, sleep well, and we’ll talk tomorrow. I’ll tell you everything.”
“By the way, what were you doing until this late instead of having a meal?”
Just then, Seongsan-daek, who was bringing out the soup, asked. Both couldn’t say a word, just looking at each other, blushing.
While Sunwoo was washing up, Eunjae, tidying up, opened the bankbook her mother had given her for wedding funds.
30 million won.
In the end, she couldn’t use it this time either. She had thought about using it when buying the house this time, but for some reason, she wanted to keep it more.
As luck would have it, her salary came out, and since the deposit was relatively low, combining the money she had saved before matched quite well. Actually, it would be correct to say that they went according to that amount.
Still, looking back, she thought she had done well.
When looking at this bankbook, one side of her chest strangely ached, but at the same time, she felt a reassuring feeling.
Eunjae smiled cheerfully, filling the clean empty drawer with her belongings.
“What were you doing?”
“I organized my things.”
While asking the question, Sunwoo’s gaze was directed towards the bankbook held in Eunjae’s hand.
“What are you holding?”
“Oh, it’s the money my mother gave me for wedding funds.”
“The money you used to buy the house. Give it here.”
“Again, you’re like this again.”
Eunjae suddenly stood up and planted a kiss on Sunwoo’s lips.
“Don’t think a kiss will resolve your anger.”
“Oh, has your anger already subsided?”
“Why, is it too easy, so it’s not charming?”
“Besides that, there are many other charms.”
“For example?”
“For example…”
Extending his hand toward his upper body, Eunjae slid her hand inside his gown. Stroking the wet abs, Eunjae looked up at him.
“Like this?”
Feeling his broad chest rising and falling, she added, “Don’t twist your words. Anyway, I’ll do everything you want from now on.”
Eunjae chuckled and wrapped her arms around his waist.
“I couldn’t use the money because it seemed obvious how my mom had saved it. It feels like a charm that protects me, so I just wanted to keep it.”
“Don’t touch the charm.”
Looking at each other intently, they burst into laughter and continued to kiss each other without a break.
That bankbook, like a charm, nestled deep into the drawer, firmly in place.
Resting on Sunwoo’s arm, Eunjae let out a deep sigh and burrowed into Sunwoo’s embrace.
“Why have you been sighing so much since earlier?”
“I just can’t sleep.”
“Aren’t you tired?”
“I am and I’m not…”
Sunwoo, thinking that the light might be preventing Eunjae from sleeping, reached out and turned off even the small lamp.
“Sing me a lullaby?”
“Sure, I’ll sing for you. Let’s see how well it works.”
Sunwoo pulled Eunjae, who was chuckling, even tighter. The caress of his hand on her head was very comforting.
“After you left, I couldn’t bear to come home. Your traces were everywhere, and it felt like I couldn’t lead a normal life. So, I stayed at the studio apartment the whole time.”
“You said you’d sing a lullaby…”
Eunjae, feeling somewhat guilty, trailed off in her words.
“I hadn’t thought about it that much either, but my mother told the family about it. She said there was an issue, and I’d be staying at the studio apartment for a while.”
“I’m sorry for your mother. She must have worried a lot. I feel bad for making you concerned about even such things.”
“She only told your mother and aunt. Don’t worry about it.”
“Ugh, you’re doing it again.”
“Wasn’t that why you couldn’t sleep?”
“How long are you going to tease me?”
“Every time you make me upset.”
As if spreading tiny kisses on his lips, Eunjae suddenly found herself looking up at Sunwoo. Lowering her lips to his forehead, she whispered, her sweet voice tickling his skin.
“I talked to the cafe and restaurant managers. I’ll quit tomorrow.”
“The restaurant was a short-term part-time job for weekends, so it’s over. I need the experience at the cafe for what I’ll be doing in the future.”
While continuing her explanation, Eunjae, realizing something, lightly tapped Sunwoo’s chest.
“Oh, right. Sunwoo, cancel it quickly!”
“What?”
“The annulment lawsuit.”
“What are you talking about?”
“The call with the new lawyer in front of the entrance. Wasn’t it about that?”
Sunwoo frowned as if displeased and straightened his posture. Then he embraced the lying Eunjae in one swift motion.
Sitting on Sunwoo’s thigh, Eunjae found herself looking at him. She was relieved that the lights were off. By now, her face would undoubtedly be as red as a beet.
“No, who wants to divorce for someone else’s happiness?”
“Then don’t.”
“I’m sleepy. Sing me a lullaby. Embrace me.”
Sunwoo, holding Eunjae tightly, listened to her soft voice. When her breath touched his neck, his narrow eyes changed.
“Forget the lullaby.”

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

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.
