Tae-seo looked Ted up and down, who wore a gray hoodie and a brown oversized coat. Ted, for a moment, looked down at his clothes and hastily added.
“Just, just a walk. Just for a walk…”
“Well. For someone who exercised and is going home, you didn’t even sweat a drop.”
“…….”
With a somewhat embarrassed Ted, Tae-seo and Jae-in walked away. Walking in the morning wasn’t particularly strange.
“It’s okay. I’m not feverish; I just couldn’t sleep well. I’m sorry. I’ll focus.”
As Ted apologized to everyone, Jae-in reached out as he confirmed the brightening screen of the phone in front of him.
“Oh, it’s Sanghwa.”
“What did you say?”
The moment Jae-in, who had been waiting for contact, spoke in Korean, Ted, faster than anyone else, turned his head towards Jae-in. It was because he quickly reacted to Sanghwa’s name despite not speaking Korean.
It was before checking the messages on the phone. Despite Jae-in’s blinking eyes at Ted’s unexpected question, Ted, who didn’t notice, urged her.
“What are you saying? Is your body okay? Did you sleep well… Did you sleep?”
While Jae-in’s head tilted slightly as she looked at Ted, the quick-witted Tae-seo stood up.
Manager Jang and Amber were also looking at Ted with suspicious eyes. However, Ted, whether he didn’t notice the gazes on him or was waiting for Jae-in to speak, didn’t react.
“You don’t seem to be feeling bad? You drank a lot, didn’t you? Do you not remember what happened all night?”
Having said that much, Ted was pulled up by Tae-seo’s hand and dragged upstairs. While staring blankly at that sight, Jae-in’s gaze turned back to the phone screen.
After pondering over the short sentence that was hard to understand even after several readings, Jae-in regained her composure and asked Amber.
“How old is Ted…? How old is he?”
Amber smiled and raised both hands, spreading two and one finger each.
“Twenty-one.”
“Oh my…”
“In Korean age, he’ll be twenty-three this year. There’s an eight-year age difference with Ms. Sanghwa.”
Even with Manager Jang’s quick addition, Jae-in’s lips remained closed.
Jaehoon, with bloodshot eyes, scanned his office once. In the broad daylight office swept away by a noisy atmosphere, only dust was floating.
“Kang Tae-seo, this guy…”
Without thinking about what I had done, Jaehoon’s temples bulged at the thought of only the things that went wrong in Tae-seo’s life.
As he chewed tightly with force on his molars, he felt the jaw with a scar from an accident to be irritatingly tight. Scanning his jaw that he was gritting, he glanced down at the documents he had thrown in front of me.
There was an ongoing lawsuit related to affiliated entertainers.
Moreover, due to a trusted idol member exposing internal conflicts and discrimination by the team and the agency, protests were pouring in from all over the world. The phone line had been off the hook for a long time, and the website was paralyzed.
There was no one to answer the calls and manage the website. Employees who should inquire about the amount they should be paid in case of quitting had already quit long ago.
Surprisingly, the recently hired secretary was still here, holding her ground. However, Juan Entertainment was on the verge of collapsing.
It was not surprising since the representative Jaehoon had not nurtured it with great enthusiasm and affection. Although he brought in artists with luck, talent, he didn’t pay much attention to their management.
Moreover, Tae-seo had meticulously planned the work, so one problem solved only led to two or three more. Now that it had come to this, even the employees who should step forward and solve the crisis had scattered and run away.
“You haven’t answered.”
―Do I look like a person with nothing to do right now?
“I will trust and wait.”
With an anxious heart, I called Jo Dae-hoon last night. However, there was no gain at all. It was a sight sharper than usual as it followed Jo Dae-hoon’s sharpness before responding to the prosecution’s attendance request.
In fact, with the legacy left by my grandfather, I can somehow save the company if I can put out the urgent fire. It may take some time, but with effort and bringing along the artists I’ve worked hard with, I might be able to revive it.
However, I bet everything I have on Jo Dae-hoon. Even though the tilted ship is clearly visible, if I can save Jae-in from there. So, if I can keep her by my side.
“Jae-in, I’ll use everything I have to save you. From your father. And also from that guy Kang Tae-seo.”
Jaehoon, who believes he is the savior to save Jae-in, looked up with eyes full of fatigue and stared at the empty sofa. With eyes that scanned as if licking with a tired gaze, it was the place where Jae-in had sat last time.
“Don’t worry too much.”
“But I’m still worried.”
Tae-seo and Jae-in were walking toward the house. Lunch was planned to be prepared at home with the ordered food ingredients.
“I heard about Ted, and though it was impulsive, it wasn’t a light-hearted decision.”
“But you two met for the first time last time. At that time, Ted seemed afraid of Sanghwa. Moreover, Sanghwa seems to blame himself, so I’m worried. I’ve known Sanghwa for a long time, but this is the first time for such a thing, so it’s confusing.”
“Both of them are adults; they’ll handle it well. Besides, Ted is…”
Tae-seo, who lowered his voice, stopped walking. It was natural for him to gently pull her closer, holding Jae-in’s hand. He held her hand and pulled her closer, embracing her naturally.
As he buried Jae-in’s face in his chest, he slowly turned his head and looked around. Then, he discovered something, and Tae-seo’s gaze, staring at that place, was sharp.
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:
