“We’re going to eat something really expensive tonight. Let’s go together.”
“What? Uh, I…”
What shame it was to refuse to join that dinner. I was about to open my mouth to refuse.
“Refusing is a no-no. It’s beef. Today, it’s Hanwoo!”
He pulled out a very attractive card called Hanwoo. This elite team leader negotiated well. Ji Seo-jun, who was standing next to me with a somewhat displeased expression, said.
“If it’s burdensome, you don’t have to come.”
“Manager Moon. Today, we’re going to a restaurant where it costs more than 50,000 won per person.”
Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon, who was standing a little away, spoke up.
“I’ll go! I’ll go!”
“Why does Ji Seo-jun look like that? Did something bad happen today?”
On the way to the company dinner, I whispered to Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon, who was standing next to me, about Ji Seo-jun’s expression, which was not very good, although everything seemed fine.
“Originally, isn’t he always like that?”
I shook my head at the serious question from Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon.
“You have to look very closely to know. If here, here feels itchy, it means he’s not feeling well. If more than three lines are drawn on this side, it’s really bad. Also…”
I explained in detail, poking my forehead with my index finger. Jang Woo-seok turned around to look at me, seemingly intrigued by my explanation.
“Moon Da-yul, come here.”
Suddenly, Ji Seo-jun grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him.
“Senior Ji is secretly quite jealous.”
Whether Jang Woo-seok was complaining or not, he pushed me inward, creating some distance between them.
“Do you not like going to dinner with me?”
“It’s not that…”
“We were just joking around. When Manager Moon is with you, Senior Ji seems like a different person. So, when we teased him a bit with the team leader… he gets jealous easily and has a narrow mind.”
“Mr. Jang Woo-seok, watch your mouth.”
In response to Jang Woo-seok’s words, Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon quickly covered his mouth.
“Haha, does that mean Senior Ji is a lover? Right?”
Although Jang Woo-seok spoke earnestly, his words were muffled, and I couldn’t understand what he wanted to say.
A premium Hanwoo specialized restaurant with an elegant exterior. An employee approached and, with professional touches, expertly grilled the meat while explaining about it.
“I like it when others grill the meat for me.”
Director John, who has become fully Korean.
“Well. Hmm. Should I make a major announcement?”
While everyone was engrossed in the meat, Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon gathered the attention of the team members.
“I… I’ve become a dad!”
“Pfft. Cough. Cough.”
Jang Woo-seok spewed the water he was drinking.
“Mr. Jang Woo-seok…”
In Ji Seo-jun’s chilling voice, I quickly took out tissues and started wiping everywhere.
“F… Father?”
“Yes. I am a father.”
Everyone, except Ji Seo-jun, was shocked by the bombshell statement.
“Did you have a girlfriend? No? It’s betrayal!”
Among them, Jang Woo-seok seemed the most surprised. Jang Woo-seok grabbed Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon and shook him vigorously.
“Oh, um, I feel nauseous. Nauseous.”
Shaking in Jang Woo-seok’s large hands, Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon looked like a paper doll.
“Kyung-hoon, so, are you getting married now?”
Even with such surprising news, Director John, who continued to use chopsticks to pick up the meat, showed no signs of stopping.
“Yes. I want to hurry before my girlfriend gets full. Everyone here must come!”
Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon’s expression, who said he would create a meal place with his girlfriend when the wedding invitation comes out, looked very happy.
On the way home after the dinner.
Walking with Ji Seo-jun, who said he would take me home, we walked the path we had walked together since childhood. If anything had changed, it was the hands that were now holding each other seamlessly.
“Did you know?”
“About Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon getting married?”
“Yeah. You seem to be the only one not surprised.”
“I knew.”
“Really? Did Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon only confide in you?”
“I happened to catch him.”
Yeah, that side was much more natural.
“Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon looked happy, didn’t he?”
Thinking of Researcher Lee Kyung-hoon, who announced his surprise marriage and looked happy, I shook the hand that was holding Ji Seo-jun’s hand back and forth.
“Yeah.”
“When your girlfriend is introduced, can I go out too?”
“Yeah.”
“I’m looking forward to it. Right?”
Ji Seo-jun looked down at me without answering, with a hesitant expression.
“Why?”
“You…”
“Yeah?”
“Never mind. It’s cold. Let’s go quickly.”
“What’s wrong? You had something to say, didn’t you?”
However, Ji Seo-jun kept his lips tightly sealed, like a clam that had closed its shell.
In the next 10 minutes, this year will come to an end. How did the viewers spend the year?
On TV, the impressive stage of idol groups unfolded. Now, the world of idols where you don’t even know who’s who. I absentmindedly turned the channel, feeling a bit melancholic.
Turning to another channel, I saw a reporter conveying the situation amid the crowd gathered to hear the ringing of the New Year’s Eve bell.
Looking at the phone clock, now there are 9 minutes left.
The last day of the year.
Every year has an end. December 31st.
But today felt unusually special. Perhaps because it’s the end of my twenties. Or maybe it’s because I’ve become closer to Ji Seo-jun than anyone else.
So, I was looking forward to today.
Hearing the ringing of the bell and shooting fireworks right into the East Sea. Looking at the rising sun, we would talk about how it feels to welcome our thirties together.
That’s how we planned it. But…
“Anyone want more beer?”
“I’ll take one. Seo-jun’s dad.”
“This guy! Drink slowly!”
“No, I’ve only had one can now…”
Mom asked, looking at Dad’s unjust expression, “Then who drank this one?”
Suddenly, ten pairs of eyes turned to me.
In my hand, there was a beer can with only a little left.
“This dominator… How many cans did you drink?”
At that moment, Mr. Seung-ho, who was bringing cold beer cans from the fridge, chuckled.
“On days like this, you have to loosen up.”
“This kid doesn’t have many days with a tight rein.”
I just tilted the beer can in response to Mom’s rebuttal.
“Hey, this kid was planning to go on a trip with Seo-jun alone and protested against joining us.”
“No, Mom.”
Instead of me, Ji Seo-jun replied.
Our plan to go and hear the ringing of the bell was disrupted because of Mom. Just before leaving, Mom yelled from the bathroom.
“Dayul! The bathroom door won’t open!”
“What? Why?”
I was about to go out without saying anything when I turned the doorknob of the bathroom.
‘Creak, creak.’
The sound was loud, but the door had no intention of opening.
“Try pulling it from inside!”
“Ugh… It won’t work!”
I tried to exert force even taking off my coat, but the bathroom door showed no sign of opening.
“Dad, where are you? The bathroom door won’t open.”
Dad is now on his way upstairs with Mr. Seung-ho after buying beer. It will take about 3 hours?
Despite wrestling with the doorknob, the door wouldn’t open. In the end, until Dad and Mr. Seung-ho returned, I couldn’t go out, and the promise with Ji Seo-jun was broken.
“I got trapped because I wanted to be trapped.”
While Mom was grumbling like that, the countdown to the New Year began.
Happy New Year.
Listening to the ringing of the New Year’s Eve bell on TV, we exchanged New Year’s greetings. Then, Ji Seo-jun and I locked eyes.
“Shall we go outside for a moment and take a walk?”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Seung-ho said,
“It’s fine if you two don’t come in! Hahaha.”
The sound of his laughter echoed loudly in the living room.
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 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~
