However, ironically, Jiho felt both anger and relief at the same time. If Kim Yujun’s intention was to capture Lajin by using the frustrating link with the past, cutting off that annoying connection would be the end of it.
“What I did to make Kim Yujun like that… Jiho, you, and your work, I’m afraid I’ll ruin everything.”
“Ruining? Not at all.”
Adding Hojin’s joke, “A pretty troublemaker has appeared,” Jiho deliberately included it. It seemed to make her feel better. Whether Lajin intended it or not, the fact was that the information she provided had broken the deadlock in the investigation.
However, the reason for sorting things out here was not because Lajin was in danger, but because her role was insufficient.
“How grateful we are to you.”
Asking for gratitude, Jiho kissed Lajin’s cheek. It landed softly, separated, and then touched again.
Lajin’s round eyes shook once again.
Jiho didn’t offer any constructive stories, urging Lajin to have confidence or not to be afraid. He simply repeated his sincere thanks. When Lajin’s emotions settled down, she would realize it herself.
However, there was one thing he couldn’t overlook.
“I have a question. Can I ask just one?”
“Go ahead.”
“When Kim Yujun survived that time he couldn’t die, wasn’t he an adult?”
As expected, when Lajin nodded, Jiho smirked.
“Whether I’m weird or Kim Yujun is weird.”
“What do you mean?”
“It doesn’t make sense logically.”
Deliberately tilting his head, Jiho caught Lajin’s gaze. Then, he sneered at Kim Yujun as if mocking him.
“He used the words of a high school student he met for the first time as a revenge weapon? A full-grown adult?”
He barely restrained himself from saying, ‘Are you out of your mind?’
Even if young Lajin’s words could have an impact on Kim Yujun, could that be Kim Yujun’s excuse? Would the fact that she received comfort from Lajin be enough to turn her words into the driving force for revenge?
“Kim Yujun used me to create a reason for revenge… did you engrain those words in your bones and turn them into the driving force for revenge?”
Wasn’t that going too far? Jiho found Kim Yujun’s baseless excuses amusing.
“I only see Kim Yujun’s self-justification in my eyes. What about Lajin’s thoughts?”
“Well…”
“A person who couldn’t die was struggling so desperately to have Myungjin? Is that it?”
Jiho shook his head openly.
Kim Yujun quickly seized control of Myungjin, seemingly waiting for Chairman Kim Gitaek to be arrested. To achieve that, he did all sorts of illegal and legal things. Would a person in despair act so deliberately?
“I’ve seen many people who have fallen into despair for various reasons.”
“…….”
“Instead of revenge, sometimes they can’t even come out of their houses.”
One thing Jiho felt every time he investigated numerous criminals was that everyone somehow shifted the blame onto others. Even a murderer without any excuse attached unreasonable reasons to innocent victims.
People tend to be lenient towards themselves. In Jiho’s eyes, Kim Yujun’s actions today weren’t much different from theirs.
“What Kim Yujun did was due to his greed, not Lajin’s fault.”
“Jiho.”
“At least I can say this with certainty.”
“What is it?”
“Lajin was genuinely deceived by Kim Yujun today.”
Jiho wanted to let her know the absurd nonsense that Kim Yujun spewed. He wanted to inform her that she was deceived by that nonsense.
“His brilliant successor is probably calling for him. Lajin is undoubtedly mine.”
While embracing Lajin’s surprised face gently, Jiho spoke.
“But don’t worry.”
He kissed her forehead as if stamping an approval on her round forehead.
“I won’t leave it like that.”
Lajin, who didn’t know what to do, couldn’t continue speaking. If a person’s bewildered appearance is this pretty, what can you do? Jiho, who had already raised both hands and feet in his heart, raised the corners of his mouth.
“It’s too confusing.”
“I’ll give you time to think. In return, though.”
Jiho narrowed his eyes. Then, he gently stroked Lajin’s soft cheek.
“From now on, you’re with me.”
“What?”
“Rest, eat, play by my side, and think slowly.”
It was an impulsive proposal. It was an idea he stumbled upon while rolling his head to somehow keep her.
“After the drama ends, how about a reward vacation? I saw an article about going somewhere like that. Isn’t that right?”
“Well, let’s go.”
“Then let’s go together. In celebration of Lajin’s hard work.”
Jiho pressed firmly on Lajin’s trembling cheek. If he left her alone like this, she would undoubtedly be captured by negative emotions. Although he wanted to give her time to think, he also wanted to guide her in a positive direction while being together. That’s all Jiho wanted.
“If it feels burdensome, how about going with my vacation?”
“You’re busy.”
“Working 20 hours a day without a day off. I need a break for a day too.”
As he added the saying about collapsing just before falling, Lajin’s forehead blurred.
“Already tired. You’re making me worry for no reason.”
“No apologies allowed for a while.”
After rejecting the apology, Jiho stared intently at Lajin. Then her pupils rolled to the side.
“Jiho, you seem different today.”
“I was too surprised earlier. Stay by my side until I return to normal.”
Whether the soft nature trapped in the cold shell had awakened just now. Jiho poured out unusually warm words that he would never say normally.
The anxiety that Lajin could go wrong and the relief that she came back safely had pressed Jiho’s awakening button. If that’s the case, there was no need to hesitate anymore.
“Let’s quickly pack and leave.”
“Now? Right now?”
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:
