“Thanks to you, I found a good restaurant. The food was great.”
“I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks to you, I also had a great meal.”
They had each paid their bills. Tae Seo gave a warm smile and opened the restaurant door. Jae In followed Tae Seo out to the street.
Contrary to worries that it might be uncomfortable, the meal with Tae Seo was pleasant. There was no unnecessary conversation and she never felt his gaze burdensome.
Tae Seo had adjusted the pace of his meal to allow Jae In to fully enjoy the cold noodles and dumplings. Jae In liked the way Tae Seo focused on eating his food with a neat demeanor.
She wasn’t sure yet, but it seemed that the man named Kang Tae Seo was not the type to be swayed by Jae In’s appearance.
As the woman who should lure him into a divorce, she was torn between considering this fortunate or unfortunate.
“I rarely meet people who like Pyongyang cold noodles, it’s surprising.”
“My grandmother liked them, so I have memories of eating them together. As a child, I didn’t understand the taste, but as I grew up, I often thought about it.”
“Right. I really miss it from time to time. There are no restaurants in Chicago that serve Pyongyang cold noodles. It’s been a long time, so I was really glad.”
“Did you live in Chicago?”
“Yes. It’s my hometown.”
“Chicago must be very cold now.”
“Have you been there before?”
At Jae In’s question, Tae Seo furrowed his brow and laughed, as if recalling something.
“I visited Chicago in the middle of winter when I was a college student and had a really tough time. Especially in Lake Michigan, where I only had my goose down padding jacket. I nearly froze to death in the minus 30 degrees weather. I wonder how I was so gutsy back then.”
“Chicago winters are indeed harsh.”
“I thought only New Jersey was cold in winter, being a country boy.”
“Did you live in New Jersey?”
“I graduated from a university there.”
Jae In already knew this. From what she found out through search, Tae Seo had taken the elite path, even among elites.
He had completed his middle and high school education in England a little earlier than his peers. Then at 17, he crossed over to the United States and entered the Economics Department of Princeton University, considered prestigious among the Ivy Leagues.
And after graduating, he went on to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (a specialized business graduate school) to earn a master’s degree.
But it was strange. Despite entering both university and graduate school with good grades, he graduated much later than others. Yet his graduation grades were excellent.
Who exactly are you? Jae In, who was curious, looked up at Tae Seo. Even though Tae Seo knew Jae In was looking at him, he pretended not to notice and only looked ahead.
“You’re from Chicago, but why in Korea…… Do you have family in Korea?”
“No. I don’t have any family in Korea.”
At her firm response, Tae Seo nodded. He did not feel any falsehood in her words now. Perhaps it was because Jae In did not consider her biological father, Jo Dae Hoon, as her family.
Tae Seo was enjoying the current situation. He already knew that Jae In was from Chicago. He also knew that her biological father was in Korea, but he pretended not to know and asked her on purpose.
It was a pleasure to get to know her through Jae In’s own words. And the more he knew, the more curious he became about things not mentioned in the report.
For example, he wanted to know what kind of weather she liked, what season she preferred. What she did when she rested, what songs she liked to listen to recently, and whether she enjoyed other exercises besides yoga.
What other foods she liked besides Pyongyang cold noodles and dumplings, whether she had a favorite writer, what was the most impressive movie she had seen, what was the first thing she did when she woke up in the morning. He began to be curious about the mundane things of a person named Yoon Jae In.
However, Tae Seo didn’t ask. He believed she wasn’t someone to be understood by asking once or twice. If he wanted to observe her for a long time, he had to approach her slowly. He didn’t want to rush and get slapped by Jae In.
“Why were you alone in that café earlier? Did you have someone to meet?”
“No. I had something to think about after work, and it got a bit cold while walking, so I went in for a coffee.”
It wasn’t a complete lie. At Tae Seo’s answer, Jae In opened her eyes wide as if surprised.
“Do you work around here?”
“It’s not too far.”
“I work as an instructor at the yoga studio on the third floor of that café. You should come to learn yoga.”
“Do you offer any discounts for acquaintances?”
“No such thing. But we do give away a yoga mat if you checkin for a month as an opening celebration. It’s expensive, so it might be worth considering.”
“Hmm, that’s tempting. I was thinking of buying a good mat anyway.”
At her natural sales pitch, Tae Seo gave a faint smile. Jae In glanced at Tae Seo and shrugged her shoulders.
“To be honest, I was a bit surprised.”
“What about?”
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:
