“I live alone too, near the hospital.”
“I see.”
As Eun Chae responded, her phone rang. It was Kwon Ki Joo.
‘What does he want at this hour?’
She tilted her head and excused herself to answer the call.
“Hello?”
[Dash] Hey, it’s me. Did we say the movie is at 2 tomorrow?“Yes, that’s right. The movie at 2:10.”
[Dash] Then I’ll come to pick you up around 11:30. Think about what you want for lunch.“No, don’t bother to come pick me up. I can manage.”
Siwoo glanced at Eun Chae as she spoke.
[Dash] It’s just a car ride. Just know I’ll come to pick you up.“But I feel a bit bad…”
[Dash] Why is it so quiet?“Huh?”
[Dash] Where are you that it’s so quiet?“I’m in a taxi right now.”
[Dash] Taxi? Where are you going at this hour?“Just meeting a friend, now on my way home.”
[Dash] Alone in a taxi?
“No, I’m with a friend.”
“Alright, then. I’ll see you tomorrow at 11:30 in front of my house.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow.”
After Eun Chae hung up, Siwoo quietly watched her and asked, “A friend?”
“Yes, a friend.”
“You’ve planned to watch a movie together tomorrow?”
“Yeah.”
“Anything interesting being released?”
“There’s a zombie movie that’s out. We decided to watch that.”
“Zombie?”
“Yeah.”
“…Unexpected. You like those kinds of movies?”
Siwoo looked surprised as he asked Eun Chae.
“Yeah, I’m a total zombie movie fanatic.”
“Really? The friend you’re going with likes zombie movies too? Most girls don’t like that stuff.”
“Oh, it’s not a girlfriend. It’s a male friend.”
The smile that was faintly spreading on Siwoo’s face quietly faded.
“A male… friend?”
“No, not a boyfriend. Just a friend who’s a guy.”
“Oh…”
Siwoo’s expression turned lukewarm, as if lost in thought.
“He’s also a zombie movie enthusiast.”
“Oh… I see.”
Siwoo remained silent, lost in thought, and soon after, the taxi stopped in front of the coffee shop.
After getting out of the taxi, they slowly entered the coffee shop. It was close to 11 PM, and the shop had only a few customers.
Seeing Siwoo still silent, Eun Chae cautiously asked, “What would you like to drink?”
“Uh? Oh. I’ll have an iced Americano.”
Startled from his reverie by Eun Chae’s voice, Siwoo answered.
“Do you want to sit while I order?”
“No, let me buy it.”
“No, I should buy it. Can you please sit there?”
Siwoo reluctantly went to the seat Eun Chae pointed out. Soon after, Eun Chae returned with the coffee.
Siwoo thanked her with a smile, but it seemed bittersweet.
After taking a sip of his coffee, Siwoo seemed about to speak, then hesitantly said, “Eun Chae.”
“Yes?”
“I like zombie movies too.”
“Really? That’s nice. You like zombie movies too.”
Confused by Siwoo’s abrupt comment, Eun Chae nodded.
“So, let’s watch a movie together next time.”
“Next time?”
“I like all movies, whether they’re about zombies or anything else. Let’s watch together next time.”
His smile hid a strong desire to do so, and Eun Chae nodded in agreement.
“Okay… let’s do that. That sounds good.”
“Is it a promise?”
Siwoo smiled widely, pleased.
After taking a sip of her coffee, Eun Chae, feeling the awkwardness, changed the topic.
“So, why did you go down to Yeosu? After you transferred, that was the first time you went, right? The kids were really surprised.”
“Oh, well… it was definitely a long-awaited visit, 11 years. I had some family matters to attend to. On my way back, I ran into Yeongjun. He was ecstatic and practically dragged me to meet the others. I was surprised too; they were all so welcoming.”
“It makes sense. Every time I go down to Yeosu, which is every two or three months, your name always comes up in our conversations.”
“Why my name?”
“You were popular, remember? Handsome and nice. Did you know your nickname was ‘Smile Angel’?”
“Smile Angel?”
Siwoo frowned as if he had heard something he shouldn’t have, and Eun Chae chuckled.
“Yeah, ‘Smile Angel.’ That’s what the girls called you. They said your eyes turn into crescent moons when you smile, just like a gentle retriever.”
Eun Chae curved her fingers around her eyes to mimic Siwoo’s smiling eyes.
“There were quite a few girls who liked you. Some even cried when you transferred. Didn’t you know?”
Siwoo rested his chin on his right hand and gazed intently into Eun Chae’s eyes.
“…Weren’t you one of them?”
“Huh?”
“Didn’t you like me?”
Eun Chae blinked rapidly, taken aback by Siwoo’s sudden question.
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~
