“I’m going to sort it out soon. So…”
“I’m sorry. I…”
Rajin slowly backed away.
“Rajin, come here.”
The man’s posture suggested he might grab her nape any moment. Sweat broke out on her forehead. She had to escape now, deal with the consequences later. Rajin turned around abruptly.
“I should go first.”
“You!”
The growl from behind her, followed by Yoojoon’s sharp call for Director Hyun, hastened her steps. As the sound of hurrying footsteps followed, Rajin ran straight ahead. She squeezed through the revolving door just as it was closing and sprung out as soon as it opened.
The cool air enveloped her.
“Ha… Ha.”
Rajin gasped for air, rushing towards a taxi as if charging into battle.
Jiho stood behind a large statue, bringing the phone to his ear.
He couldn’t hear Park Rajin and Kim Yoojoon’s conversation from his distance, but he didn’t avert his gaze. Expressions and gestures often revealed much.
‘What’s with that woman?’
Every time Yoojoon spoke, Rajin lowered her eyes or shivered like a lost cat. Yet, her eyes occasionally showed different emotions.
Disgust, anger… and resignation, sorrow.
Was she not Yoojoon’s girlfriend?
Their relationship seemed uncertain; her eyes looked too troubled for a lover.
‘No, I don’t…?’
Her lips clearly formed a rejection. But before he could decipher more, she turned away. The scattered guards rushed after her like hunters. What were they doing?
Jiho, clenching his fist, watched Yoojoon closely and quickly moved away. Having reported on the situation during Chairman Kim Gitaek’s arrest, he knew Yoojoon might recognize him.
Hiding near the staircase, Jiho texted Hojin.
“”
As if executing a covert operation, Jiho gave Hojin a few more instructions.
Just then, a deep voice approached.
“Director Hyun.”
“Yes, Executive Kim.”
“Contact Oh Jonghyuk right away.”
Though his face was not visible, it was definitely the voice of Kim Yoojoon from the news. It sounded muffled, as if he was biting his words.
“I’ll instruct him to check if the actress has arrived.”
“Think of a way to make Rajin more obedient.”
The notion of making a grown adult obedient was absurd, let alone someone he was supposedly close to.
Was he in his right mind?
Even if they were lovers, it was weird; if not, it was stranger still. If it weren’t for Yoojoon’s status as a chaebol, he was no different from a lowly criminal harassing a woman. Surely, he wasn’t stalking her?
Jiho turned towards the pillar to listen better.
“Use the most effective and fastest way. Don’t limit the means.”
After those words, Kim Yoojoon’s voice faded away.
Jiho shook his head while glancing at the staircase.
“Crazy.”
He stared down at his phone and then, as if mesmerized, opened the search bar.
―Park Rajin.
Typing her name brought up numerous articles, photos, and advertisements she endorsed. Like scrutinizing case records, Jiho sifted through Park Rajin’s personal life.
A mysterious concept?
Her life, seemingly special, was simpler than expected. No scandals, not even common dating rumors. What exactly was her relationship with Kim Yoojoon? Numerous questions filled Jiho’s mind.
Someone unrelated, even a celebrity he just met today. Why was she on his mind?
Before Jiho could find a clear reason, his phone rang.
“Ah.”
He had forgotten his actual duties while spectating. Making sure no one was around, he answered the call.
“Yes, Chief Kim. I was just about to call you. Can we talk?”
The call was about a suspect who had recently fled but was now captured.
Suddenly, the image of Rajin running away flashed in his mind.
She invaded his thoughts uninvited. Even while talking to the investigator, the earlier scene kept replaying. Had he been too conscious of her due to his interest in capturing Myungjin?
“Start the interrogation of the suspect first. I’ll be there soon.”
Jiho methodically instructed the next steps and quickly ended the call.
“Were you here?”
Hojin, who had approached quietly, leaned against a pillar.
“Kim Yoojoon?”
“He went to the Deputy Chief.”
“We’ll talk more in the office.”
“Haa. I couldn’t enjoy the meal, knowing I’d have to be watchful. If I had known, I would’ve grabbed two servings of sushi.”
Hojin playfully mimed eating as Jiho chuckled. Indeed, Hojin’s light words helped clear his cluttered mind.
“I’ll treat you tomorrow.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Let’s leave here.”
With the Deputy Chief identifying them, attracting more attention would be pointless.
The two quickly left the hotel.
In the taxi to the office, only the radio music filled the quiet space.
‘Special prosecution, handover, Kim Yoojoon… and top star Park Rajin.’
So much had happened in a short span.
Jiho’s mind felt overloaded. One thought led to another, adding to his frustration. He cracked the window slightly, letting in a faint smell of grass and the briny river breeze.
“Phew.”
As he pushed his thoughts out of the window,
“Hello, I am actress Park Rajin, the public relations ambassador for the Ministry of Justice.”
The woman he had encountered twice appeared again, this time in a radio public service announcement. It was almost as if she was showing off. Irritated by her voice clinging to his ears, Jiho murmured,
“Annoying.”
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~
