In response to an abrupt question, Yura lost her words and merely blinked her large eyes. Staring at Ihyun’s eyes, which seemed uneasy and trembling, she slowly moved her lips.
“Nothing at all… is wrong.”
“Ah…”
Only then did the strength in Ihyun’s hand, holding her shoulder, loosen.
Ihyun, unintentionally caught off guard, was conscious of his father’s violence exposed and the reporters guarding like predators. Moreover, Yura’s sudden visit seemed to surprise Ihyun.
If it weren’t for the series of events, Ihyun’s demeanor would have been mistaken for the usual concern of any husband about his beloved wife. Somehow, this concern and tenderness left Yura’s heart feeling empty.
“If I caused you to worry, I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s because you suddenly came to the company. I thought someone said something unnecessary again.”
It was indeed an unnecessary misunderstanding and an empty hope.
“I came right after reading the articles.”
“Why did you come here instead of going home and resting?”
“Sorry for bothering you when you’re busy.”
“It’s okay.”
Following Ihyun’s lead, Yura sat on the sofa and brought up the story Jinho had told her.
“I heard from the articles that Oppa released.”
“President Baek said that?”
“Yeah, thank you.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
What I had to do… Ihyun’s words added more uneasiness to Yura’s heart. She had never believed it was natural, as she didn’t consider the relationship to be something taken for granted. Because it wasn’t a relationship to be taken for granted, unnecessary misunderstandings arose.
“I thought you believed that article, Oppa.”
Ihyun jumped up and clapped his hands.
“Why
Here is the English translation of the provided Korean paragraph:
The conclusion with the wife where the scandal erupted, if it’s not divorce, what on earth could it be? Ah, alimony? Trying to gauge the fundamental purpose of compensation, Yi Hyun instead asked, “Did I say I would compensate with a divorce?”
Yura fumbled through her memories in response to Yi Hyun’s question. Clearly, it was stated that if a problem with emotions arose, compensation must be provided, and Yura had agreed without hesitation.
However, within that memory, there were no details about the compensation. If it was a contract, why didn’t she scrutinize the compensation part more meticulously?
“Uh, well… No.”
“It’s not going to be compensation.”
Yi Hyun’s eye corners slightly lifted.
“Then what? I said I would receive it properly.”
Yi Hyun had firmly stated that he would receive it properly once this matter was resolved. He emphasized the word “properly” as if he were exerting strength in his words.
If the compensation wasn’t divorce, what could it be? If it’s not alimony either, and not money with divorce, then what is it? No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t think of anything that could be called compensation.
Yi Hyun stretched his lips and smirked teasingly. Leaning forward, closing the distance between him and Yura, he whispered.
“Since we’re on the subject, should I receive it now?”
Even that, receiving it right now, made Yura more frustrated. Feeling indignant, she furrowed her brows and retorted as if accusing him.
“Now? No, I mean, what is it? I won’t give it unless I know what it is.”
Yi Hyun’s face, still smiling, looked particularly annoying today. A smiling face, whether it was Baek Jin-ho or Baek Yi-hyun, seemed equally annoying. The Baek family truly had a knack for choosing annoying behaviors.
As Yi Hyun slowly stood up, Yura’s gaze followed his movements. Seductively parting his lips, he uttered a single word.
“You.”
“What?”
“The compensation I will receive is you.”
Dumbfounded, Yura couldn’t even respond, just stared intently at Yi Hyun. With a playful eye smile, he walked towards the desk. Watching him quietly, Yura stammered.
“W-What is that…”
However, Yi Hyun didn’t respond to Yura’s words. Instead, he pressed the button on the phone and connected to the secretary’s office.
“Secretary Ahn, how is the schedule after this?”
Beyond the speaker, Secretary Ahn’s voice responded to Yi Hyun’s question.
-There’s a meeting scheduled in two hours.
“Let’s postpone it for another hour. Until then, please don’t let anyone into the office.”
-Yes, understood.
Yura, sensing something unusual, stared silently at the scene. The statement about delaying the meeting by another hour until the scheduled conference in two hours hinted at receiving compensation.
When considering that the compensation was not a legal or material process but the person themselves, a scene flashed in Yura’s mind. On a night when memories were blurred by alcohol, the only memorable gaze was that of Baek Yi-hyun.
“Come here.”
The look in Yi Hyun’s eyes, standing in front of the desk and extending his hand, was identical to the gaze in that memory. No, it was an even more intense desire, akin to the predatory gaze seen during their honeymoon.
Yura, unable to approach Yi Hyun, sat still like a statue and swallowed dryly.
“Now, isn’t it what I’m thinking?”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
