Ha Hyun looked at his master with a blurry gaze.

The sight of him calmly polishing his sword appears no different from usual on the surface. But he could tell that person was in a subtly gloomy state right now.

That’s all though.

‘What’s the problem this time?’

I need to know what’s bothering him to comfort or soothe him.

His master would sometimes get like this, becoming gloomy on his own. Being someone with a lot on his mind, he would get exhausted dwelling on his own problems, which I now understood.

But even then, his attitude never became crooked, and since his expression and demeanor were originally calm, few people could tell when he was in ‘that’ state.

Ha Hyun was one of those few people.

The problem was… he could only recognize it, not discover the cause.

Moreover, since he didn’t seem much different from usual to others, the one worrying like this ended up looking strange instead.

Knowing that, it was still a problem that he couldn’t help but be concerned.

It was a dilemma in many ways – not wanting to ask what’s wrong for fear of making him even gloomier, and not being able to ask why later when he’s better in case he becomes gloomy again.

After staring for a while, Ha Eun finally seemed to notice his gaze and turned his head to ask.

“What? Do you have something to say?”

“…No.”

“I see.”

He narrows his eyes briefly but doesn’t ask twice.

In that sense, it makes me realize again that this person really isn’t in a good mood.

Ha Hyun swallowed a sigh inwardly. And though he knew it would be meaningless, he slowly recalled recent events. He pondered what among the incidents that had occurred recently could have made Ha Eun’s state of mind so complicated.

But as always, the days had passed without any dangerous or complicated events occurring.

‘He doesn’t even go outside the mountain gate in the first place.’

It’s not like anyone’s stopping him, but for some reason he likes the mountain gate so much that he had never seen Ha Eun go out. So the only events he could think of were not even worth laughing about.

‘Is it because the wooden sword he was using broke into four pieces a few days ago?’

It was a superstition stemming from the similarity in pronunciation between the character for death and the number ‘4’. As he recalled such things, Ha Hyun suddenly felt ridiculous at himself.

It was only a few years ago that he had to receive training to be used as a tool. After taking his first steps, he was essentially neglected for over ten years, then after being belatedly discovered, he had to choose that path as if pushed without any choice.

It was a path he didn’t like, but he couldn’t deny that it suited his aptitude.

Perhaps that’s why he hated it even more.

Though that was certainly the case, he felt a stark contrast to the past now that even things that could be called worries were like this after fleeing to Hwasan.

He dropped his shoulders as he let out a silent, hollow laugh.

Ha Eun, who was the cause of Ha Hyun having such worries that weren’t even worries, was certainly a strange person.

Not in the sense of being a crazy person you might occasionally see anywhere.

Rather…

‘It seems like it would be hard to see someone similar to him anywhere else.’

That’s exactly the kind of impression he gives. It had been that way consistently from when they first met 2 years ago until now.

Ha Hyun recalled the past time.

He remembers quite vividly when he first met Ha Eun after coming to Hwasan. He’s not sure how it was for Ha Eun, but for Ha Hyun at least, it was memorable in many ways for various reasons.

Back then, when he saw Ha Eun left alone in the training grounds.

Looking back, he had vaguely thought the atmosphere was strange from far away.

‘A feeling of discomfort… as if seeing something that doesn’t mix well with its surroundings.’

Ha Eun was only 13 years old at that time. Of course, he himself was only fifteen, but compared to Ha Hyun who had grown faster than others from a young age, Ha Eun wasn’t big even then.

It wasn’t a thought one should have looking at someone a head and a half shorter than oneself, but he had no intention of retracting that impression either.

For instance, should I say it was like a small, angular box wedged between round marbles?

It would stand out that way, but when alone it seemed somewhat faint and like it might scatter at any moment.

‘It’s not to that extent anymore now.’

Ha Hyun looked to the side again.

He could see the side profile fully concentrated on polishing the sword. Now it doesn’t feel as out of place as when he first saw him, but when he closes his mouth like that, the atmosphere still seems the same.

Ha Hyun thought that perhaps the reason he no longer felt that sense of discomfort now was because he had become accustomed to Ha Eun.

In any case, he was an extraordinary person from the beginning, enough to evoke such contradictory impressions.

He retraces his memories.

When they first met, after trying to speak to him and confirming that the response wasn’t good, Ha Hyun had withdrawn so quickly it might have seemed somewhat unnatural. He thought it was either because his nature was cold or…

‘He had hostility towards me.’

He thought it was one of the two. He had seen it as quite possible at the time.

But for something he was so certain about, he realized a few days later that it was neither.

Ha Hyun still vividly remembers the complex emotions he felt while watching that calm face casually talking about his own misfortunes. And how he suddenly felt embarrassed at himself for thinking so calculatingly.

Ha Hyun now had a rough idea of why Ha Eun had been like that when they first met.

Ha Eun was probably just shy, or flustered, or both…

It couldn’t have been anything else, because otherwise he wouldn’t have looked after himself, who was lagging behind throughout the entrance exam.

From their first meeting to all the situations afterwards, objectively speaking, Ha Eun had no reason to be fond of Ha Hyun. He should have found him uncomfortable, if anything. But the 13-year-old, two years younger than him, stubbornly tried to take care of him.

While looking strangely at Ha Hyun who was trying to be careful in his attitude on his own.

‘If it weren’t for someone helping like that, I probably wouldn’t have been able to walk in on my own two feet into the sect.’

Ha Hyun objectively assessed himself dispassionately. That was the truth.

It was the second time he had received unconditional kindness from others.

When he passed through the main gate under the nameplate of the sect with the purple mist-covered sky as a backdrop, when he saw Ha Eun embracing the master and the master smiling down at his disciple, and when he saw the sect leader smiling contentedly beside them.

And when their gazes turned to Ha Hyun, to himself…

At that time, looking at all those scenes before him, Ha Hyun had thought:

‘Now I too can become part of that scenery.’

I can be in a place where the sun shines and the sunset glows, not in shadows where even moonlight doesn’t reach.

And that really was true.

Abandoning his past name, he became Ha Hyun.

That’s how he was able to become Ha Eun’s junior disciple, a disciple of Hwasan’s First Sword, a member of Hwasan.

Since he didn’t match the age of the other second-generation disciples except Ha Eun, and there was also a big difference in the progress of learning swordsmanship, Ha Hyun naturally spent a lot of time with Ha Eun.

Swinging swords in the same training ground every time, receiving guidance from the same master, studying together – it was only natural that they would become familiar with each other and get to know each other well.

Ha Hyun came to know that Ha Eun’s personality couldn’t be completely defined by just one simple word.

He’s not just cold, nor is he simply kind-hearted, bestowing kindness on anyone without any expectation of return.

He speaks like an adult despite his age, but that doesn’t mean he acts like an adult in every aspect.

He had a diligence of only practicing swordsmanship as if fixated on something, even though it was a rough rocky mountain with no other amusements, and while possessing a talent that anyone would applaud as gifted, he showed a strangely skeptical attitude towards that talent, yet enjoyed observing the swordsmanship displayed by others.

Adding all of that together, even after two years since meeting him, he still makes me think he’s strange in many ways, but…

In any case, he is his master.

Whatever his personality or atmosphere might be like, that fact was clear and one of the unchanging things.

And Ha Eun was also the first person to reach out a hand to Ha Hyun.

Even before their master, Yu Un.

Ha Hyun knew that his master had not brought him to Hwasan intending to make him a disciple from the beginning.

‘Being kindhearted like a Taoist, he probably wouldn’t have neglected me completely.’

But that doesn’t mean he thought about taking responsibility for him from the start.

He’s not unaware that the master accepted the sect leader’s instruction to take responsibility and make him a disciple just before the entrance exam.

He’s not dissatisfied with that fact. It’s only natural.

In fact, just bringing someone who randomly asked to be taken along from the street all the way to Hwasan already makes him a lifesaver. Moreover, since becoming master and disciple, he had never been negligent even once. Ha Hyun also respects his master immensely.

‘But.’

Back then during the exam, from the foot of the mountain.

Before anyone else in Hwasan, the very first person…

The person who acknowledged that Wol Young would become part of Hwasan, who already recognized him as his junior disciple.

The one who gave him the certainty that there would be a place where he could exist as a complete person, not a tool, was clearly Ha Eun.

‘Yes, that’s why.’

Inwardly, he may have considered Ha Eun the most meaningful of anyone in Hwasan.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have felt his heart drop to his feet at the sight of him coughing up blood right before his eyes.

Ha Hyun slightly furrowed his brow as an unwanted memory filled his mind.

But once recalled, the memory didn’t easily scatter. Even with Ha Eun right in front of him looking fine, just seeming a bit down in mood but healthy otherwise.

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~
