Changing the camera battery, Green was brimming with enthusiasm, eliciting an embarrassed but apologetic smile from the principal.
“The kids are still just aspirants. You don’t have to be so hard on them.”
“Who knows? One of them might become the next Jenny Jang or Morgan.”
The principal’s face lit up with unmistakable pride at Green’s words. Jenny Jang and Morgan were the top stars that the academy had produced.
“Is Jenny doing well? Still busy?”
“Of course. She’s even been invited to a film festival abroad.”
“She’s making it big. What about Hannah? Has she completely given up modeling?”
At the principal’s question, Green playfully winked.
“Honestly, Hannah is more suited to be a stylist. She does like to eat a bit.”
The principal burst into laughter at Green’s candid assessment.
The profile photo session for the model aspirants ended well past 4 PM.
Packing up her camera and lenses silently, Green noticed someone staring at her at the entrance of the studio.
A tall woman, nearly 180 centimeters and wearing high heels, was smiling playfully at her.
“Hannah! When did you get here?”
“Just now. You were so focused on your work, even the president could’ve walked in and you wouldn’t have noticed.”
“Stop kidding around, I’m starving. Let’s eat.”
Realizing Green hadn’t eaten lunch yet, Hannah glared at the principal.
“That’s too much, isn’t it? You should at least feed her while she works.”
“Hey, I told her to eat first. Did I, or did I not?”
“Never mind that, just pay Green her fair day’s wage.”
Though the principal grumbled about being fleeced by Hannah, Green knew he had generously compensated her for her work.
“Thank you, Principal.”
“I should be thanking you. Seeing you two standing there reminds me of when you first met. When you three were cramming students, roaming around day and night, it was really something.”
The principal’s eyes glistened with memories.
Back when they were twenty-year-olds, Jenny and Hannah were students at the modeling academy, and Green was a student at the photography academy in the same building. As the owners of both academies were brothers, the photography and modeling classes had joint practical sessions towards the end of the course. Jenny, Hannah, and Green, being of the same age and repeat students, quickly became friends.
“We all have foreign-style names. Hannah, Jenny, Green. What a coincidence! Must be fate!”
Hannah’s exaggerated manner made Green and Jenny protest.
“Hey, Green is a pure Korean word. Like in ‘I painted a giraffe,’ that ‘painted’.”
“Jenny is just a stage name. I have a different real name, but don’t bother asking.”
“Whatever! Anyway, we are friends for life now. Betrayal equals death. Now, swear!”
With three cans of beer placed before them, Hannah demanded a pledge.
Unlike the shy Green and indifferent Jenny, the sociable and optimistic Hannah had somehow managed to bind these three disparate personalities into a single unit.
Their friendship remained strong even after Green pursued photography, and Jenny and Hannah debuted as models.
When Jenny, who shifted from modeling to acting, rose to stardom in just two years, Hannah, realizing her talent lay in styling, went to study in Japan and became Jenny’s stylist.
Thanks to Green’s experience assisting in Jenny’s photo shoots since college, she was able to establish herself in the industry as a photographer.
Both Hannah and Green were grateful to Jenny for their livelihoods, but Jenny saw it differently.
“You saved me.”
Green and Hannah, sensing Jenny had her own troubled story, did not press her for details, waiting seven years for her to open up.
Hannah led Green to a snack bar in front of the academy, a place they frequented during their repeat student days.
“Eat up. It’s on me.”
Hannah solemnly declared as she ordered a whopping six dishes, including kimbap, rabokki, pork cutlet, and noodle soup.
“I’ve made money, too. Let me pay for today.”
Even as she stuffed kimbap into her cheeks, Green waved Hannah off.
Finding this hilarious, Hannah poked Green’s cheeks while laughing.
“Hurry up and eat! We need energy to foil that marriage.”
Green stopped chewing at the mention of the marriage. She was reminded of Sun-woo, whom she had met that morning.
“What’s up? Why?”
Green’s unusual behavior piqued Hannah’s interest, sensing that something was definitely up after seven years of friendship.
“Hannah, I think I might go through with that marriage.”
“What?”
Green’s sudden decision to marry, after vehemently opposing her father just the day before, left Hannah slightly baffled.
Glancing around, Green leaned forward and whispered.
“I met Jin Sun-woo this morning.”
Green spilled everything about her meeting with Sun-woo, including the promised ‘big payback’ and financial compensation.
“I’ll detail everything in the contract at the engagement ceremony, but I’m determined to ensure my mom’s hospital fees are covered. This will surely cut ties with my father, but I need to find my own way.”
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.
