"Yoongi, I'm meeting with the director of the contracting company soon."
" huh. "
"So, since you're working overtime in two days, eat well."
" ... huh, "
"You understand?"
"Okay, I get it. If we meet up for dinner, I'll definitely order your favorite steak. If that doesn't work out... "
"Yeah, I do whatever I want except for company matters."
"Right-,"
"The sea."
" why? "
“I enjoyed the yulmu tea, thank you.”
The sea calls them,

'Time flew by. The overtime shift, supposed to be two days away, was confirmed for today. Work seemed to be moving too fast. Everyone was pushing carts, and I was walking on a wheel like clockwork. I couldn't keep up, so I was crushed beneath it. And for my sake, the wheel rolled on top of me, without any intention of stopping.'
"Yoongi, you have to make this and send it in by today! By 2 o'clock!"
"Yoongi, this assignment is due today. Could you do it for me? It's due by 8 o'clock, but something came up today."
I already have a lot of work to do today..?! There aren't many people in the design department, but I have a lot of work because of that company I don't know if it's Seri or Berry.. Why are so many people already absent..? Huh? Do you have a grudge against me.. Dangbal..ㅠ
"Uh-"
"What's going on?"
"My daughter has a fever. She's very sick and needs to go now. I need to get everything done by midnight, but I can't... Could you please just take care of the rest?"
"... Oh, yes. Of course, since your daughter comes first."
"Thank you, Yoongi! I'll buy you a meal next time!"
ShiX, you're definitely going to be working overtime today, Min Yoongi.
How did you get all this? Can you do it all? Are you confident?
"No... What about leaving work on time? Should I stay up all night and go?"
Working in South Korea is tough, no matter what.
"Hello. My name is Han Myeong-jin, CEO of Seri Enterprises."
"Oh, yes, should I listen while I eat?"
That restaurant, with its dazzling chandeliers and high-rise buildings, was known only for the wealthy. It was a succulent steakhouse with a taste for the ocean. The steak was always delicious. It was a definite ocean taste. Just because it had the word "ocean" in its name, seafood didn't mean it was number one. Because of that, Yoongi would get tired of steak every day on their dates. So he'd order other things like pasta and pizza. Oh, it was so funny... That was almost half a year ago.
"Here, I'll have this steak, and then some cream cheese—"
"Oh, what would you like me to do, Director Han?"
"Please do the same for me."
"Okay, I'll do the steps as they were."
" thank you. "
"The chef came in person to take our orders. This is truly a remarkable company." I could see the thought, but I wished he'd at least said something. The men behind Myeongjin moved and disappeared from sight. Then Myeongjin leaned a little closer and spoke.
"Are there a lot of people here?"
"That's right."
"Who did you go with? The interior is really well done."
" ah. "
"Wow, the view is amazing."
"Really? I've been meaning to come with you. Good job, huh?"
"Well done, our sea."
"Is the steak good?"
"How could it not be delicious? A steak a day."
'...I hope you're happy... heh...'
"Give me some creamy shrimp pasta!"
"Oh, are you my younger brother?"
' lol, '
"No, not my younger brother...!"
"Huh. It's a secret, Chef."
"Yoon... no, I used to come here often with my husband."
"Oh, I see. That ordinary husband."
... Yoon-ki was always criticized like that by ordinary people. Even netizens, the unknown reason for the marriage and the unexpected news of it made his father questioned at many parties, and he would drink wine, saying, "For my daughter's happiness," with a perfect face, a mask on his face.
"I'm curious. How did you end up getting married?"
"...you weren't a reporter, were you?"
"It wouldn't be a bad idea to get to know each other."
It's getting closer, closer. The steak shows no sign of coming out, so I'm even more anxious. Oh, maybe it wasn't consideration, but rather a blocking.
“Why, do you covet my husband’s place?”
I'd like to hear an honest answer. This is probably the first time I've been this direct with him. He's probably more curious. Is he looking to develop a personal relationship between the two?
"My husband's position, so it's also because I covet you..."
"I also covet the position your father holds."
"That's an interesting answer."
"Anyway, we're going to meet for three days to sign a contract. Whether it's at my house or the director's house, we have to meet for three days together."
"You decide, Director Kim."
"Would you like to do it at my house or at Bada's house?"
It's a gamble. This is a gamble on our company. Director Kim must know that Director Han is the grandson of the chairman of Seri Enterprise. If he refuses, our company will be immediately criticized. I had to make a wise decision, for the sake of my father, and for the sake of our people. He looks quite likable, doesn't he? I quite like the way he speaks. I have to keep up the good work.
"...I'll do it at my house."
Here, the sea is perhaps overlooked. Before it was a company's purpose, before it was a status struggle, before it was a fight for the crown.
' yunki min' That it was a gamble in itself.
And the answer to the gamble the sea offered was a knife that cut out the heart of the mermaid who was already living a lonely life of love, hiding in the deep swamp.
The mermaid was not a doll, and his heart was so devastated and withered that he could not understand and accept her love at every moment.
The mermaid needed her sea,
The sea no longer needed the mermaid who was its light.
The sound of the keyboard and mouse, the screen's light, the glare from his glasses, the man's eyes wide, sipping coffee, his phone rang with a notification. He blinked for a moment, then checked his phone, cursed softly, and let a tear or two escape. He didn't want to hold it in. He didn't hear the sound of his sorrowful sobs. He was just holding back the sobs, tears streaming down his face.
"What did I, uh, do wrong?"
>💖Honey🌊
"Yoongi."
"Sorry, I'll just clean up your room and give you a hotel room for three days, so stay there."
'I Hotel. Room 308.'
-I wasn't sure about your love.
No, now I wanted to cling to it so desperately that I wanted to believe it.
My own beach in my own private resort,
If we give meaning to the sea we shared together.
Maybe it was you to me.
The sea calls them,
