Seven-year-old So-eun lived in the employee quarters of Tae-joon’s house until her father, who was serving a prison sentence, returned.
Ten-year-old Kim Tae-joon and seven-year-old Han So-eun quickly became friends. So-eun was completely won over by the few candies and caramels Tae-joon offered her. Young So-eun, whose heart was stolen by a few sweets, followed Tae-joon around loyally.
“How about we play rock-paper-scissors?”
“Okay!”
“If you lose, you get a flick on the forehead. What do you think?”
“Sounds fun!”
So-eun agreed to any game Tae-joon suggested. Just being played with was exciting enough for her, and she would shout with her mouth wide open in excitement. Tae-joon swallowed a bitter smile watching the child.
There was a pattern to So-eun’s rock-paper-scissors. Once he figured out the pattern, he always won.
Flick. Flick. Flick. Using the excuse of winning at rock-paper-scissors, Tae-joon had every reason to flick So-eun’s forehead to his heart’s content. Even when she got a bruise on her round forehead, she would quickly laugh it off, not knowing when to stop playing even if it hurt.
After hitting her particularly hard, Tae-joon would deliberately lose. Winning only one out of ten times, So-eun would be overjoyed as if she had won the world.
“Yay! I won! Now it’s your turn to get flicked, oppa.”
“If you hit hard, I won’t play with you.”
Tap.
“Ahhh! Hey! That really hurts!”
Although the child’s flick wasn’t painful at all, Tae-joon acted as if he couldn’t bear it. His exaggerated acting softened So-eun’s flick even more.
A seven-year-old couldn’t outdo a ten-year-old. So-eun was an easy target to fool and bully, and Tae-joon would look for her whenever he was bored, pulling her hair, tripping her, or pouring mud on her to relieve his gloominess.
Tae-joon’s favorite game to torment So-eun was hide-and-seek. He would tell her to hide really well in the vast mansion’s garden and then lazily go to find her when the sun was almost setting.
Once, after less than an hour of starting hide-and-seek, So-eun came out of the bushes, whimpering. Tae-joon scolded her.
“You should stay hidden until I find you! What if you come out? Don’t you want to play with me anymore?”
“No-oo…”
The child said she came out because she was scared but didn’t dare to express her unfairness.
“You have to wait patiently even if you’re scared!”
Tae-joon scolded her again, emphasizing the essence of the game.
“From now on, wait no matter where you hide. I’ll always find you. Understand?”
“Yes.”
“And don’t cry. If you cry, I won’t play with you. Got it?”
“Yes!”
Seeing the naive child quickly stop her tears and smile widely, Tae-joon couldn’t help but smile helplessly along.
In front of Tae-joon’s office.
So-eun looked into the paper bag in her hand and asked blankly.
“……Yes?”
“There were a few left over, and you were the only one around.”
Tae-joon responded.
Eel over rice. The eel over rice that her boyfriend had mentioned.
Her heart fluttered just at the sight of the label saying ‘Eel over rice’.
The division head is a good person!
A beautiful person with a beautiful heart!
“Thank you.”
So-eun bowed deeply. Maybe it was because of Hee-wook’s text. She felt like crying over just a box of eel over rice.
The world is warm.
Yes. Hang in there, Han So-eun.
“May I take this and eat it?”
“Of course.”
“Yes. Thank you. I’ll enjoy it.”
“But…”
Just as she was about to leave with another bow, Tae-joon caught her with a brief preamble.
So-eun stopped, and he stepped closer and asked.
“Have we met before?”
“Yes?”
It was a rhetorical question. He was too distinct to ever forget. Unless he had undergone plastic surgery, it was impossible not to recognize such beauty.
Kim Tae-joon, was that his name? The name seemed familiar. There must be at least ten people with similar names in the company. In So-eun’s 27 years of life, she must have come across that ordinary name countless times.
And him, too. The name ‘Han So-eun’ was just as common.
But
He scrutinized So-eun’s face as if trying hard to remember something. His piercing gaze seemed to penetrate even behind her glasses, making So-eun uncomfortable. It felt like his long, large hands might snatch off her glasses any moment. Her heart raced.
As his gaze intensively focused on her, So-eun forgot to breathe and froze, her face flushing despite feeling frozen.
“It’s nothing. You can go.”
After a moment of searching, he straightened up and spoke. So-eun bowed again and left.
Tae-joon watched her back until she reached the elevator at the end of the corridor. With each step she took, the neatly tied ends of her hair fluttered.
She seemed not to recognize him, just confused by his unexpected question.
There was no sign that she was hiding something.
Further investigation seemed necessary.
The Han So-eun he met after a long time had completely shed her past image and become a mature woman. Still, there were a few things about her that Tae-joon could never forget.
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~
