In that gaze, Taehui involuntarily swallowed a dry spit.
It felt like the first time Sajun looked at her with such a chilling gaze in the 13 years they’ve known each other.
To be honest, she was scared.
What right did she have to interfere in his life, especially when their relationship started as nothing more than a contract, not as friends or lovers?
Yet, she knew that she could say such things to Sajun because she was herself.
It was the only trust that had developed over their long time together. The belief that no matter what she wanted, he would accept it, and no matter what she did, he would forgive her.
With these thoughts in mind, Taehui calmly spoke up.
“An adult has come to see you. Just give me 10 minutes, Sajun.”
The door was still half-open. Through it, she made eye contact with the patient-looking Chairman Kang, who was waiting outside without coming in.
His eyes, different from Suntae’s who only knew the outside, were the real eyes of a father.
Looking into those eyes, Taehui felt that it wouldn’t be right to let Yongjin leave like this.
Although both Suntae and Yongjin seemed to be turning away from their children, Yongjin had the qualifications, unlike Suntae.
At least, he had the right to spend about 10 minutes facing each other and having a conversation.
Knowing it was a risky move, Taehui had no choice but to bring out her ultimate weapon.
“Sajun, you said if we were in a relationship, you would always be the one in control. You said you would listen to whatever I said. Was that a lie?”
“That’s only for you…”
Sajun, who had been sweeping his hair back with a cynical gesture, couldn’t finish his sentence.
Taehui subtly grabbed Sajun’s hand, which was hanging in the air.
As the stern expression softened a bit, he soon let out a deep sigh.
“I’ll be with you instead.”
Wide-eyed, Taehui pointed at herself with her finger.
Why was she involved in a conversation between rich people?
As Sajun, trying to close the door again, attempted to do so with annoyance, Taehui quickly agreed.
Then, turning back to open the door wide, Sajun said to Chairman Kang.
“It’s five minutes.”
It could be something to be thankful for.
As Yongjin entered, he didn’t look at Taehui and walked past her.
Sajun followed behind.
Seeing the two broad backs like the Pacific, Taehui muttered to herself.
They seemed to have inherited their temperaments.
Both men sat facing each other on the living room sofa.
Whether it was a conversation between a father and a son, or between two who agreed to converse, the atmosphere was equally unyielding.
Taehui let out a small sigh, feeling the tension, awkwardness, and harshness all combined. She didn’t want to squeeze into such a tightly wound atmosphere.
If they were a real couple, she might have endured such things. It felt unfair to go to such lengths for a fake relationship, but she had created this situation, so she decided to take responsibility.
Approaching cautiously, Taehui sat down beside them. When Sajun tried to close the door again with a stern expression, she quickly understood.
Only then did she turn her body to face Chairman Kang, who was waiting patiently outside the door.
“Talk to him, Sajun. I’ll give you just 10 minutes.”
Unable to do anything, Taehui, holding Sajun’s hand, broke the icy atmosphere.
“Would you like some water?”
With a cautious offer, Yongjin raised his hand to indicate it was okay.
But looking like this, the two really looked alike.
Yongjin’s face, with distinct lines that looked like Sajun, was delicately and beautifully sculpted.
“I might be a bit bothersome, but it’s an unavoidable situation, so please bear with it. So, pretend I’m not here and have a comfortable conversation with Sajun.”
Sajun, who had stubbornly kept his mouth shut, sarcastically blurted out.
“I’m not going to have a comfortable conversation with that person. Sitting quietly without saying anything would be better.”
Taehui blinked quickly in surprise.
It was also the first time Sajun had revealed his emotions so forcefully.
Just as Taehui was thinking about how to connect this situation, Yongjin finally spoke.
“We’re in an uncomfortable situation with each other, so let’s stick to the main topic. I heard you met Yeonhwa.”
If it was Yeonhwa, it probably meant that woman.
Yongjin’s wife and Sajun’s stepmother.
“You said you weren’t interested in Seomun. Is that your sincere feeling, or did you decide that way because of Yeonhwa’s wish?”
Sajun didn’t even receive a gaze from Yongjin, let alone an answer.
Touching Taehui’s hand he held, Sajun just stared beyond the terrace.
But through the held hand, Taehui felt Sajun’s tense anxiety.
Thinking that if she let go of this hand, Sajun might collapse, she held onto it even more tightly.
Surprisingly, it was Taehui, not Sajun, who was surprised by Yongjin’s light sigh.
“Your stepmother and I, Yeonhwa, are at fault, not you, Sajun. So don’t act like you’ve committed a crime in front of Yeonhwa.”
“…”
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:
