Breaking Matchmaking (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 6
Jenny approached, tilting her head in confusion.
“Sister-in-law!”
Faced with an awkward situation, Chae Won bit her lower lip tightly.
“Hee Joo unnie, unnie? What are you doing here?”
Even as she spoke, Jenny’s curious gaze remained fixed on Yoo Gun.
Having made up her mind, Chae Won quickly turned toward Jenny with a bright smile.
“Oh my, what a coincidence running into you like this! Goodness.”
“Right? But, unnie, who’s this person?”
Chae Won shifted her eyes from Jenny to Yoo Gun. He stood silently, lips pressed together, waiting for an explanation—his quiet demeanor oddly intimidating.
Swallowing hard, Chae Won adjusted her tone to be more polite.
“Mr. Yoo Gun, what should we do? I’ve just met someone extremely, extremely important. Let’s call it a day here—I’ll contact you later. I’m really sorry.”
After bowing slightly, Chae Won quickly grabbed her bag and stood up.
“Huh? Unnie, what’s going on? I have an appointment right here!”
Then don’t pretend you know me.
Chae Won linked arms with Jenny and firmly dragged her outside.
“Yaaah! Where are you taking me? Let go and talk properly!”
Once they reached a suitably quiet spot, Chae Won faced Jenny, her eyes dry and her lips barely curved into a smile.
“The world really is small. Running into you here of all places.”
Jenny scanned Chae Won, who now looked even more elegant than before, then lifted her chin proudly.
“Wow… This is brand-new Hermès! Unnie, just how much compensation did you get? Did you get hit by some chaebol’s car or something?”
“Not quite a chaebol.”
Chae Won brushed away Jenny’s hand, which was fiddling with her clothes, and stood with dignified poise.
“But what brings you here, miss?”
“What do you mean? I came to meet my Ho Tae.”
“Mr. Ho Tae?”
Jenny gave Chae Won a once-over, then her expression soured.
“My fiancé—the guy I’m going to marry. Wow, unnie, you really got into a bad accident, didn’t you?”
Chae Won gave an awkward smile and nodded.
“How much compensation did you get, really? Huh?”
“You’re something else.”
Jenny’s slightly tanned skin and deep double eyelids—reminiscent of a foreigner’s—widened into large, round eyes.
“…Huh?”
Tired of the repeated questions about compensation, Chae Won let out an uncomfortable sigh.
“When your family’s been in an accident, shouldn’t you first ask if they’re alright or whether they’ve received proper treatment?”
Chae Won’s expression wiped clean, her question caught Jenny off guard, making her blink rapidly several times.
“I—I didn’t mean…”
“Go on. Say it.”
Chae Won stepped forward as if to listen properly, causing Jenny to take a step back in flustered panic.
“What’s up with you, unnie? Why are you acting like this? Did the accident mess up your personality or something?”
Just who was Kim Hee Joo in their minds?
How badly must she have been treated all this time?
And yet, why couldn’t she just divorce cleanly and walk away—why did she have to rebel by leaving home like this?
“Um… Did the hospital say you’re… okay?”
Faced with such an ingratiating question, Chae Won answered with a bitter smile.
“They said it’s temporary, so don’t worry.”
“Hmm.”
Jenny’s face scrunched slightly as she rolled her eyes—then suddenly widened them again upon spotting Yoo Gun emerging in the distance.
“But unnie, what’s going on between you and that guy? Does my brother know him?”
Following Jenny’s gaze, Chae Won inhaled sharply and quickly turned her head. He, who certainly wouldn’t stay behind to eat alone, was just then walking out into the lobby.
“I already told you—it was work-related.”
“What kind of work? You’ve only ever managed the household—how would you even… Wait, that’s Ho Tae!”
When she turned, she saw a man wearing jeans and a blue shirt—an outfit that clashed dissonantly—furrowing Chae Won’s brow.
That man now stood before Yoo Gun, who was walking like he’d stepped out of a magazine shoot in a crisp suit, and called out loudly:
“Hyung!”
At that exact moment, Chae Won’s pupils trembled faintly.
Hyung… Did he just say “hyung”? What hyung? Surely it must be just a casual term of address, like how some people loosely call others “unnie”—just a common way of speaking, right? Chae Won desperately hoped so, her eyes fixed on Yoo Gun’s lips.
“Yeah.”
Watching Yoo Gun’s response, Chae Won’s mouth fell open slightly as she turned her head forward.
Of all people, it had to be Jenny’s fiancé—the one who calls him “hyung.”
Now that things had turned out this way, if she wanted to keep her identity hidden, she absolutely had to end things with Choi Yoo Gun right here and now.
“Ho Tae!”
At Jenny’s tactless shout, both men’s eyes snapped toward her instantly. Chae Won, caught in Yoo Gun’s gaze, forced a bitter smile.
Right—before things get even more tangled, she needed to get out of here immediately.
“Well then, miss, enjoy your time with Mr. Ho Tae.”
Feeling Yoo Gun’s gaze on her back, Chae Won hurried toward the emergency exit.
“Unnie?”
Chae Won pressed an unused phone to her ear and walked on, pretending not to notice.
Praying Yoo Gun wouldn’t chase after her and shout, “Kim Chae Won!”
Praying Jenny wouldn’t cry out, “Hee Joo unnie!”
“Unnie! Hee Joo unnie, where are you going!”
Damn it.
She had a feeling this girl would never be anything but a burden in life.
Biting her lip, Chae Won quickly opened the emergency exit door and vanished.
“Hyung, what brings you here?”
Yoo Gun’s gaze, which had followed Chae Won’s retreating figure, returned to Ho Tae.
“Had to meet someone.”
“Did you go on that blind date?”
“That’s my business.”
At Yoo Gun’s curt reply, Ho Tae clicked his tongue disapprovingly—then his eyes lit up as their gazes happened to meet.
“Oh, that watch—I haven’t seen that one before. It’s pretty. Must’ve cost a fortune. How much?”
“Cheap. Cheaper than the car you wrecked and ate.”
Ho Tae rolled his eyes with an awkward chuckle.
“Hyung, why are you still bringing up ancient history?”
There had once been a legendary incident when Ho Tae, at a family gathering, secretly took Yoo Gun’s car and completely destroyed it, forcing it to be scrapped.
“Ho Tae!”
Yoo Gun turned toward Jenny, who had approached with a gentle voice.
“Oh, sweetheart! You’re here early?”
“Yeah.”
Seeing Jenny’s curious look as she stared at Yoo Gun, Ho Tae glanced between them and suddenly exclaimed, “Ah!” before starting the introductions.
“Sweetheart, this is Choi Yoo Gun—my cousin hyung. Say hello.”
“Oh! Hello. We’ll see each other again soon, but I’m Jenny—the one engaged to Ho Tae.”
Remembering she was the woman who’d just left with Chae Won, Yoo Gun gave a light nod of acknowledgment.
“You saw her just now, right?”
“Yes.”
“But how do you know our sister-in-law?”
“Sister-in-law?”
“Hee Joo unnie—I mean, I’m Hee Joo unnie’s sister-in-law. I saw you two having dinner, so I wondered how you knew each other and why you were here.”
Yoo Gun stared at Jenny for a moment—not looking at her so much as pausing in thought.
When Jenny raised an eyebrow as if to ask why he was acting strange, Yoo Gun quickly replied in a calm voice.
“We just happened to meet for work. I’ll see you again sometime.”
After giving Jenny a brief farewell, Yoo Gun walked past the two of them and out the door.
Unable to tear her eyes away from his retreating figure, Jenny murmured,
“He looks like a celebrity—so ridiculously handsome?”
“What did you say?”
Startled by Ho Tae’s annoyed tone, Jenny quickly brightened and continued,
“Oh, nothing—I guess your family just has great genes. Everyone’s so good-looking. Though obviously, my guy’s the best.”
Soothed by her words, Ho Tae relaxed his shoulders.
“Well, our family is like that. So you won’t have to worry about our kids’ looks.”
“Right! No worries at all!”
Jenny gave him a cheeky grin, then glanced once more toward where Yoo Gun had disappeared, lost in thought.
“But seriously, what kind of work could our sister-in-law possibly have with him?”
“Our sister-in-law—that airhead?”
“Yeah. I just saw her having lunch with your cousin hyung.”
Muttering to herself, “Could she be having an affair?” Ho Tae scoffed.
“Why would Choi Yoo Gun risk anything with a married woman? Besides, hyung’s a workaholic who doesn’t even date. Do you know Grandma’s even offered her fortune just to get him to fall in love?”
“Oh my gosh, really?”
Jenny had been about to say his looks were too good to waste, but noticing Ho Tae’s furrowed brow, she clamped her mouth shut.
“Anyway, he’s weird—acts like he’s better than everyone else, seriously annoying.”
Realizing the rift between Ho Tae and Yoo Gun, Jenny stretched her upper lip thoughtfully, then quickly grabbed his arm and shook it playfully.
“Honey, Jenny’s hungry. Let’s go eat already, okay?”
“Alright, alright. Come on, sweetheart, let’s go.”
Walking side by side with Ho Tae, Jenny kept glancing back, haunted by the lingering image of those two together.
“But how do you know our sister-in-law?”
Sister-in-law…
There’s no way Madame Kim would have been so careless as to seat a married woman as a blind date candidate—she must’ve investigated thoroughly.
“Hee Joo unnie!”
That other name, called out repeatedly.
Kim Chae Won, who responded instantly and without hesitation.
“What on earth… is this unsettling situation?”
Lost in thought while gripping the steering wheel, Yoo Gun’s phone suddenly rang.
[Kim Chae Won]Staring quietly at her name, Yoo Gun soon pressed the call button.
– “I feel I didn’t properly greet you earlier. I just ran into someone I absolutely couldn’t ignore.”
It was a polite voice.
– “Even so, I shouldn’t have left like that… By the way, don’t worry—I’ll explain everything well to Father about our blind date. I feel terrible for disappointing him in every way.”
Acting cute by switching between playing sick and acting like a princess was forgivable, but leaving after just slicing through two pieces of steak and saying “goodbye” was outright cheating.
And Madame Kim, who stubbornly believed her bloodline was supreme, wouldn’t believe it even if told she’d been rejected.
Leaving with zero consideration, their mysterious parting left a bitter taste.
“Where are you?”
– “Huh?”
“I think we have something to talk about.”
– “Ah, I don’t really…”
“Then I’ll just join my cousin and his girlfriend on their date. Jenny seemed awfully curious about our sister-in-law. We could share even more stories about you, Ms. Chae Won.”
An uncomfortable sigh came through the line.
– “Mr. Choi Yoo Gun.”
“Yes. Ms. Kim Chae Won—or wait, was your name Hee Joo?”
– “Let’s meet.”
As expected—she was hiding something again.
– “No, why would you interrupt a young couple’s date? That’s not okay. That’s being mean. Let’s meet right away—just us. Where am I? Well…”
After checking the location she gave on his navigation, Yoo Gun ended the call and started the engine.
Maybe things would resolve more easily than he thought.
He pressed down on the accelerator.
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?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
