Looking up at him with startled eyes, their gazes locked. His face seemed to be smiling, amused, and incredulous all at once.
Sajun whispered teasingly, “So fragile.”
Why was losing balance for a moment seen as weakness?
Biting her lip, Taehee tried to regain her balance, but Sajun’s large hand wrapped around her shoulder.
She shot him a warning look. Take your hand off, now.
But Sajun, undeterred, tightened his grip and calmly replied, “Manner hand.”
“I don’t need a manner hand, so remove it, will you?”
Then Sajun drew her closer and whispered in her ear.
“Look over there, Taehee.”
Following his gaze, she saw a man embracing a woman, holding her not by the shoulder but around the waist.
She wondered when Sajun had noticed that amidst not caring about their surroundings.
“Sajun, they’re obviously a couple.”
“We are too, for today.”
Taehee’s eyes, filled with laughter, finally realized something.
Sajun wasn’t finding this situation uncomfortable or difficult; he was thoroughly enjoying it. He was effortlessly handling these unfamiliar circumstances with a sense of fun.
Though she hadn’t wanted things to go this way, Taehee couldn’t argue.
It was her idea to play the role of lovers for a day, under the condition that she would be the absolute superior.
“Sure, you’re right, but do we really have to imitate that sort of thing in our relationship?”
“Yep. I have to. If I’m going to date anyway, it’s good to try out different things in advance. It would be even better if it’s with you.”
Wow, making a sly appeal again?
Astonished, Taehee watched as Sajun smiled, revealing his dimpled cheeks.
His disarming smile made Taehee turn away quickly.
She should start calling him Kang Fox instead of Kang Sajun. Why does he always act so cunningly?
“Aren’t you practicing too realistically for a fake relationship?”
“Who knows? A fake relationship could turn into a real one.”
Taehee looked at him, shocked, and Sajun appeared nonchalant.
“It’s not impossible. We became real friends from pretending to be friends, right?”
“Compare things that should be compared. Friends and lovers are totally different.”
“To me, they’re the same.”
Taehee internally scoffed at Sajun’s calm response.
It was the first time in 13 years that Sajun acknowledged her as a friend, but she wasn’t happy about it.
Why say such a thing now? And how could friends and lovers be the same? Was this also part of his strategy?
Only Sajun knew the truth, but it was Taehee’s head that was spinning.
The idea that their show-window relationship could become real shook her heart again.
She hated the thought. The idea of Sajun in a fake relationship was infuriating enough, let alone a real one.
Should she just blurt out that they’re dating now, despite the possibility of heartbreak or being crushed later?
Lost in these thoughts, Taehee was oblivious to Sajun’s persistent gaze. She didn’t realize it was her, not Sajun, who was being swayed already.
The movie theater was on the 9th floor of a multi-complex mall.
Taehee regretted getting on the elevator connected to the subway station.
The elevator, stopping at every floor, filled up more and more, bringing them closer together.
Why wasn’t the overcrowding alarm sounding today?
When the elevator reached the 5th floor, it was already packed. Yet people still pushed in, causing the crowd to sway.
Feeling a man’s back almost pressing against her chest, Taehee hunched her shoulders.
That’s when she was suddenly pulled around to face Sajun’s sturdy chest.
Before she could react to their switched positions, the elevator alarm finally sounded.
The swaying man steadied himself against Sajun’s solid frame.
Sajun, with his imposing presence, received an apologetic glance from the man.
“I’m really sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
Sajun didn’t even turn to answer, his eyes fixed on Taehee.
Taehee knew, in his position, anyone else would have exploded with irritation. But Sajun’s expression was unnervingly calm.
Finally, the crowd in the elevator expressed their displeasure, urging others to wait for the next one, and the elevator chaos was temporarily resolved.
As the elevator ascended again, packed with people, Sajun couldn’t avoid contact with others.
Only Taehee was comfortably nestled within the barrier Sajun created, as if he couldn’t tolerate anyone else touching Taehee.
Now, Taehee began to worry about something else.
She deeply regretted her choice of wearing enhancing undergarments for a better fit, especially in these close quarters.
Their chests were dangerously close to touching.
However, Sajun’s arms, firmly planted against the elevator walls, maintained a precarious distance.
Despite his delicate, princely features, the muscles and pronounced veins in his forearms peeking out from under his short sleeves seemed inexplicably attractive.
It was like a crazy arm fetish that started to stir Taehee’s otherwise calm heart.
Slowly, Taehee placed her hand somewhere between Sajun’s chest and abs, applying slight pressure.
Avoiding Sajun’s questioning gaze, she murmured almost to herself, “Maintaining a safe distance.”
It was, after all, absolutely necessary in their current situation.
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.
