“After considering it, I believe the best way for you to sincerely express your regret right now is to give your best to the remaining schedule and contribute positively to his project. This project is one of the most important to Director Lee Kang Hyun at the moment.”
Eun Ji Yeon had no desire to comfort her.
But if she genuinely wanted to apologize, if they could find a way to comfort Kang Hyun together…
“Instead of just verbal apologies, consider other methods. And as time passes… when it becomes comfortable for both parties, you may then express your apology. Of course, only if the other party desires it at that time.”
“…….”
Kwon Ji Su nodded faintly, her head still bowed.
“I have always admired your work, so I was really looking forward to this project. So please, I ask you to do your best for the remaining schedule. If there’s anything to convey, I’ll contact you through Manager Kwon Chung Sik or by email. Now, I’ll be going.”
Eun Ji Yeon left without waiting for her response.
Back in the office, after focusing on work for a few hours, Eun Ji Yeon headed to the rooftop garden for a break.
The TF project would probably be finished in a month, or a month and a half at most.
The next two weeks would be spent finalizing the video and creating ad copy.
The remaining 2 to 3 weeks would involve finalizing the video, exposing it to media, and checking feedback… then it would be back to regular duties.
Both Kang Hyun and Eun Ji Yeon had been too busy to meet each other, communicating only through messages and brief calls since the day of the meeting with the sales team.
“I miss you, Lee Kang Hyun. I really do!”
Although she was alone, she whispered, half-worried someone might hear her thoughts about Kang Hyun.
“If you call me that quietly, I won’t be able to hear you. You should call me louder so that I can hear.”
Startled, Eun Ji Yeon turned around to see Kang Hyun approaching with a coffee in hand.
“Director! Where have you been?”
“I was just coming up here too. I saw Eun Ji Yeon heading up just a bit ahead of me.”
Kang Hyun chuckled and ruffled Eun Ji Yeon’s hair.
“I missed you too, Eun Ji Yeon.”
Such a simple thing.
Why did her heart flutter at the phrase “I missed you”?
Why did a smile spread across her face at the sight of his smiling face?
Why did his playful ruffling of her hair make him look so endearing and lovely?
In that fleeting moment, Eun Ji Yeon looked at Kang Hyun with these thoughts.
Feeling such emotions was a pleasant moment for her.
She was delighted to have a heart that could like someone fully and without suspicion.
“Thank you, Director.”
“For what?”
“Um… it’s a secret, but anyway, thank you.”
“Alright. If I did something good, I guess I deserve some praise. So… I don’t know what it is, but I should receive a reward.”
Saying this, Kang Hyun gave Eun Ji Yeon a quick peck on the lips.
Eun Ji Yeon, startled, looked around to make sure no one was there, relieved that they were alone.
“Receiving a reward feels good.”
Kang Hyun said this with a radiant smile to Eun Ji Yeon.
“Yeah, it does.”
Eun Ji Yeon smiled back at him.
“You must be very busy with various projects these days?”
“Yes, it’s been hectic since I was suddenly assigned this. The preparation time was too short, so it’s been quite tough sorting and updating the data.”
“Is it a project with a tight deadline?”
“Yes, initially it was an investment extension case with a month-long schedule. Fortunately, I managed to extend the deadline after an early update and obtaining consent from the other company. Still, the investment extension period itself is almost over, so I’m feeling pressured.”
“One month. That’s harsh. It usually takes at least a quarter to start a project.”
“It was a project already being handled by Executive Director Cha Min Woo, but I had to take it over urgently.”
“Cha Min Woo?”
“Yes, it’s the Onyu Pharmaceuticals investment case. They requested to stop the investment when less than a quarter was left before the maturity of the investment.”
“Onyu Pharmaceuticals investment case? There was a request to stop the investment?”
Eun Ji Yeon asked in surprise, and Kang Hyun looked at her curiously.
“Do you know about this project? That’s unlikely. It was initiated before you joined the company.”
“Sigh….”
Eun Ji Yeon then realized she had never mentioned that her family owned Onyu Pharmaceuticals.
When explaining her relationship with Cha Min Woo, she had only mentioned it as a marriage within family circles.
‘Of course, he wouldn’t know. Even though my family name isn’t common, who would just assume and connect it to a big corporation?’
Eun Ji Yeon smiled awkwardly and faced Kang Hyun.
“I never mentioned it. I didn’t feel the need to…”
“…….”
“My father is the chairman of Onyu Pharmaceuticals, Eun Joo Hoon.”
“Oh! Then, is Eun Ji Eun, the head of the department, your sister?”
Kang Hyun asked, seeming very surprised.
However, his surprise seemed not so much about Eun Ji Yeon being from the Onyu Pharmaceuticals owner family, but more about her being the sister of someone he knew.
“Yes, that’s right. You’ve met my sister, I see.”
“Yes, I met with Department Head Eun Ji Eun regarding this investment case. She’s very sharp and impressive.”
“Right? I think the coolest woman in the world is my sister.”
“The one who always calls you a little kid.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Someday, aside from work, I’d like to go and greet Department Head Eun Ji Eun with you, Eun Ji Yeon.”
Eun Ji Yeon was speechless at Kang Hyun’s sudden remark and looked at him.
“Soon, there will be an opportunity, right?”
Kang Hyun’s face, full of a refreshing smile, looked at Eun Ji Yeon and asked.
“Yes… soon…”
“Once we get through these busy times, I’ll introduce you to my family too. Oh, before that, I’ll introduce you to my close friends. They’re really eager to meet you, Eun Ji Yeon.”
“You’ve talked about me to your friends?”
“Of course. I even consulted them when I was worried about you. These guys, who can hardly manage their own affairs, were all eager to give me dating advice. They keep asking when I will introduce you, pestering me every chance they get.”
Kang Hyun chuckled, thinking of his friends.
Eun Ji Yeon, having never separately met and been introduced to any close friends of Cha Min Woo, found this talk quite new and exciting.
Meeting the close friends of a boyfriend.
An experience she had never had before.
“I’m eager to meet them too, Kang Hyun’s friends.”
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:
