I gave him a slight bow as I boarded the bus. I saw him looking out the window as the bus pulled away.
I bowed my head in greeting, and he also slightly bowed his head in response.
[Star Icon][Star Icon]“Mom, do we have to leave so early?”
5 A.M.
I asked, placing the luggage we packed the day before at the front door.
“We should leave early because of the Chuseok holiday traffic.”
My dad, who loves to sleep in, and I yawned as we stood idly next to the luggage.
Mom seemed a lot more excited than we thought. Ever since we decided to go to Gangwon Province for a 2-night, 3-day vacation, Mom has been full of anticipation.
“Moon Da Yul, did you forget anything?”
“Nope, um, no.”
My yawn seemed to be contagious; Dad yawned too. Just as Mom double-checked that we hadn’t forgotten anything, I received a call from Ji Seo Joon.
[Dash] Are you ready?“Yes.”
[Dash] Come down. I’ll load the luggage.We decided to take only one car between Ji Seo Joon’s and my parents’. When I went downstairs with the luggage, I saw Ji Seo Joon’s car.
“What’s with all this…”
Stunned by the amount of luggage, Ji Seo Joon forgot to greet.
“Seo Joon, you came early. How are you? I heard you worked late last night.”
“Ah, hello.”
Mom took off her wide-brimmed hat to greet Ji Seo Joon. Only then did he regain his composure and greet her politely.
“Seo Joon, it’s been a while.”
Dad’s eyes were still half-closed.
Ji Seo Joon explained that Mrs. Yoon Hee and her husband would bring their car up from the underground parking lot. Mom started dividing the luggage between Ji Seo Joon’s car and Mrs. Yoon Hee’s car.
“Hey, is there anything you want to leave behind?”
Ji Seo Joon nudged me and whispered.
“No.”
Upon hearing my firm response, he pondered how to fit all these bags, starting with the largest one in the trunk.
“Oh my! Da Yul’s mom, you look so pretty today.”
Just then, Mrs. Yoon Hee and Mr. Seung Ho arrived from the underground parking lot.
“She’s the prettier one.”
We began to load the luggage, starting with the largest bags.
The two ajummas’ matching floral dresses fluttered before my eyes. Flowers, oblivious to the season, bloomed randomly on the fabric.
“What is all this stuff? Are we moving?”
Those were the same words Ji Seo Joon had said to me in the past, and now Uncle Seung Ho repeated them. Aunt Yoon Hee then slapped his bicep and retorted,
“Shut your mouth; we’ll need all of this.”
While rubbing his bicep, Uncle Seung Ho began playing Tetris with the luggage, along with my dad and Ji Seo Joon. Still, everything fitting into the car impressed me secretly.
“Let’s leave before the traffic gets worse.”
After slamming the trunk shut, my dad shook off his hands. The ajummas, who had been busy arranging their stuff, took notice of the car and commented.
“A new car would be nice, right?”
As I subtly angled towards Ji Seo Joon’s car, Aunt Yoon Hee’s gaze was fixed on Ji Seo Joon. I hesitated for a moment.
Actually, I had dreamt of a drive with just the two of us, stuffing all the ajummas and ajusshis into one car. But that dream was on the verge of falling apart.
“Uncle Seung Ho might get bored, right?”
I casually suggested sending the ajummas to another car.
“If Da Yul rides with him, he won’t have a moment to be bored.”
I pondered over another excuse to Aunt Yoon Hee’s rebuttal, but then my mom shifted towards Uncle Seung Ho’s car.
“I prefer a familiar car. Let the young ones ride in that one, and we can gossip in this one.”
Mom opened the back door of the car and beckoned Aunt Yoon Hee.
“So, should Da Yul’s dad drive and I go with the kids?”
Uncle Seung Ho’s clueless comment prompted a loud call from my mom.
“Hurry up!”
Thus began the erratic journey of the two families.
“Moon Moon. Could you maybe not show your feelings?”
“What feelings?”
I was diligently chewing gum in the passenger seat to avoid dozing off.
“Worrying about getting caught, yet impatient to go with me?”
Ji Seo Joon took my hand, laughing. I gave him a quick glance before intertwining my fingers with his.
“It’s not like we’re going on a trip alone; we’re traveling with elders. We need some sort of fun.”
Ji Seo Joon laughed, as refreshing as a summer air conditioner breeze, while tailing Uncle Seung Ho’s car.
“Your mom seemed happy.”
“Yeah. It’s her first holiday trip after we got married.”
“Right, you guys always gathered with relatives.”
Since Ji Seo Joon’s grandmother lived in the U.S., their family often went on trips during holidays. When we came from the countryside, they would ask us to bring side dishes.
Excitement was temporary, and soon the highway started to clog up. We were delayed, so we decided to have lunch at a rest area.
“It’s hard to find a spot.”
Finally, the six of us found a place to sit. The bustling rest area was filled with people tired from long drives and those full of excitement for their hometown visits.
Before leaving the rest area, after a cheerful meal carried out by Ji Seo Joon, my dad, and Uncle, I said,
“Buy me that.”
“With a body like that after eating, you’re blessed.”
Ji Seo Joon slightly pinched my side.
“Hey!”
I slapped his hand away.
“What do you want?”
Before I could even make a retort, Ji Seo Joon pulled out his card.
“Potato sticks.”
I chuckled quietly, watching Ji Seo Joon patiently stand in line to buy sweet potatoes.
Suddenly, the adults emerged from the bathroom. Sitting in front of the car eating sweet potatoes, my throat clenched at Yoon Hee Ajumma’s words.
“Shall we ride in Seo Joon’s car this time?”
Yoon Hee Ajumma, you’re a disappointment when you look like that.
Ji Seo Joon patted my back as he handed me a glass of water. I clenched the bowl filled with sweet potatoes. What should I do to overcome this situation?
“Let’s just go in the car we’ve been using.”
Just then, my mom, arms crossed with Yoon Hee Ajumma, headed towards Seung Ho Ajusshi’s car. I watched the two flower-patterned dresses climb into Seung Ho Ajusshi’s car.
“Suspicious.”
“What is?”
Ji Seo Joon, who snatched a sweet potato next to me, asked.
“Very suspicious.”
I chuckled and watched my mom climb into the car intently.
And the next day, I found out why my mom had specifically chosen to ride in Seung Ho Ajusshi’s car with Yoon Hee Ajumma.
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.

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.
