Calmly or leisurely, I wonder. Dajeong involuntarily smirked at his open and explosive demeanor. Thanks to him, the stifling atmosphere became much more comfortable.
“You’ve heard already?”
Subin spoke with a slightly subdued voice.
“Yes… I had no idea. I thought you were just a calm artist.”
“I’m not the type to show off that kind of personality.”
“Well, actually…”
Dajeong cautiously opened her mouth.
She couldn’t avoid revealing who he was and his relationship with Taesang. She felt a bit anxious about how he would react, but she couldn’t keep it a secret any longer.
“Talking about Taesang?”
“Do you know?”
“Yeah, I naturally know. There are eyes here, and there are mouths talking.”
“If you knew, then why…”
The words questioning why he hadn’t told her sooner almost slipped out. She felt a bit foolish for being the only one who didn’t know.
Dajeong looked at him with a complicated expression.
“Sorry. I knew for quite a while, but I didn’t tell you because I thought you might be uncomfortable. People at the company already know that Taesang and I don’t have a good relationship, right?”
“…”
“And honestly…”
He hesitated slightly, as if it was awkward to talk about.
“I didn’t want to be seen as Taesang’s younger brother. So, from now on, just see me as Subin.”
“Oh…”
She never suspected such a reason. Dajeong quietly pondered Subin’s words again.
If she had known who he was, could she have treated Subin normally? There was no need for extensive contemplation. It would have been impossible.
Erasing the relationship with Taesang and thinking about him would have been impossible. After meeting Myeongok, she would have awkwardly avoided him.
Dajeong awkwardly smiled as she looked at him.
“I’ll… try my best.”
“You’re so honest. Painfully so.”
Dajeong, who was awkwardly averting her gaze, suddenly widened her eyes as if she had a thought.
“Oh, this…”
It was a slightly damp handkerchief. Dajeong handed him a neatly folded piece of cloth.
“I appreciated it earlier. I cleaned it with soap, but… still, it’s better to wash it again.”
“Is it okay if it gets wet?”
Subin asked with concern.
“Yes. The jacket is thick, so it survived. Thank you. Thank you for sharing the handkerchief.”
“Thanks. Can a little guy like me give you a hard time, Dajeong?”
“That guy… who is he? Seems like you know each other well.”
“Kang Sunjae, the eldest son of Daesung Group. Our grandfathers have been close friends for a long time, so I’ve known him since I was a kid. Even when we go to gatherings, there’s a separate table for us kids.”
“Ah… I see.”
Her shoulders instinctively shrank at the mention of the huge corporate name she had only seen on TV. Dajeong absentmindedly played with the sandwich wrapper, averting her gaze.
Then Subin opened his mouth as if to comfort her.
“Sunjae hyung just vents unnecessarily to you. You don’t have to be intimidated.”
“Why would he vent to me…?”
“He’s disliked Taesang since ancient times. Despite being two years older, he always felt inferior, making it unbearable.”
“…”
In other words, according to Subin, he had a competitive relationship with Taesang. However, understanding that didn’t make it reasonable for him to confront me.
As Dajeong silently grinned, Subin continued speaking casually.
“But since they even got engaged, he’s causing even more trouble.”
“What engagement?”
“…”
Surprised gazes turned towards Dajeong. After blinking his large brown eyes several times, Subin nodded slightly.
“Ah… you haven’t heard? Do you know who the woman Taesang almost married is? Kang Miyeon, Sunjae hyung’s sister. In other words, that annoying guy is the older brother of the woman who broke Taesang’s engagement.”
“So, that’s why…”
Now everything made sense.
The man’s face in the lobby who changed upon hearing my name. The consistent frustration and attitude he couldn’t let go of. It was a kind of resentment and anger towards Taesang’s new girlfriend.
For a moment, Dajeong was captivated by a sense of embarrassment.
Just the thought that Taesang was almost married was hurtful enough. To receive someone’s hatred on top of that felt like adding thick salt to the wound.
“But why did she come here? She wouldn’t have come to meet me.”
A deeper, weakened voice flowed out.
“She came because of our company’s advertising plan. Despite being a bit lacking, Sunjae hyung oversees marketing at Daesung Planning.”
“Ah…”
“If Sunjae hyung bothers you again, let me know. I’ll be in the education building all day today.”
Subin said, straightening his shoulders.
Dajeong silently watched him, puzzled. As she felt during the art festival, he seemed to naturally take on the role of helping her.
Whether it was blindly or devotedly, Dajeong cautiously opened her mouth with a thoughtful voice.
“I appreciate the offer… but you don’t have to help me.”
“I’m not trying to help you.”
Subin said in a calm voice.
“Really?”
“I’m trying to protect you.”
“…”
Dajeong momentarily forgot what to say at his firm statement.
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?
