Instead of ending it, Sajun found himself addicted to Taehui.
Not a superwoman, yet she seemed capable of anything. Intelligent, diligent, and quick-witted, she anticipated Sajun’s needs and acted accordingly.
What Sajun liked most was Taehui’s ability to ward off people who bothered him before they got within fifty meters.
Without Taehui, his days felt incomplete. She seeped into every aspect of his life.
On sleepless nights, gloomy days, or when he was sick, he would wake up to find Taehui by his side.
Through these 13 years, he came to know her well – calculative yet not selfish, disliking to receive if she didn’t give, stubborn, and prideful.
He enjoyed her constant nagging and didn’t mind her harmless violence.
For the usually solitary Sajun, these were the moments he felt less lonely, felt what it was like to live among people.
All these were possible only because of Taehui.
She had become an irreplaceable presence in his life, although the way he kept her close was admittedly pathetic.
Acting like a dependent, needing to be taken care of.
Sajun’s strategy had always been to keep Mintaehui close, treating her as if she was irreplaceable.
“Kang Sajun, you’re not a newborn baby. Even for a friend, isn’t that a bit too much?”
“…A newborn baby?” Sajun’s menacing glare made Jinwon flinch.
“I mean, it’s just an example. Where would you find a muscular giant baby like you? Haha! Can’t you take a joke?”
With Sajun’s mind already heavy with thoughts of Mintaehui, Jinwon’s words felt like adding fuel to the fire.
Sajun casually shifted the conversation to business matters.
“Did you hear someone showed interest in the small building in Apgujeong we rebuilt?”
Jinwon replied, acknowledging a potential buyer but noting they offered 2 billion less than the market value.
Sajun immediately stated, “It can’t be less than 75 billion.”
Jinwon’s response showed his surprise at Sajun’s firm stance. He jokingly remarked he would make it happen if that was what Sajun wanted.
After Jinwon left, Sajun increased the treadmill’s speed, his mind filled with thoughts of Mintaehui.
She had been acting strangely lately, seemingly avoiding him, distancing herself, and her mind elsewhere.
“Does she no longer need me? Or has she found someone else?”
Wondering how he should act if Mintaehui was pushing him away for another man, Sajun felt a headache coming on.
Mintaehui had always been unpredictable, like sand slipping through his fingers the more he tried to hold onto her.
“What should I do with you?”
His phone, the object of his frustration, rang. It was the call he had been waiting for, from Mintaehui.
Pretending indifference, he answered, “Yeah.”
[I’ve arrived in Ilsan. Are you working out?]“Yeah.”
[Great, could you pick up some macarons from the Zeus Hotel bakery on your way here?]“If I bring you macarons, what will you do for me?”
Her calling him petty hit a nerve. Sajun had a lot to say.
“It’s not fair. For 13 years, I’ve kept only you by my side, done everything you wanted, allowed you into my space and bed, even showed you my naked body.”
He bit back these words, only saying, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”
Knowing Mintaehui hated anything free, he asked her, “What can you do for me?”
Her response, asking what he wanted, made the corners of his lips twitch slightly, but he maintained his composure.
“My grandfather’s heard strange rumors about me. Since I don’t date women, they say I either have peculiar tastes or a physical problem.”
[…]“Ignore it, but my grandfather is making a big deal out of it. He wants me to date or get married.”
[Why all of a sudden?]Mintaehui’s voice sounded hesitant as she listened to his explanation.
“Adults usually have this notion that you should get married before you turn 30. Every time you go to Ilsan, your mother nags you about getting married, doesn’t she?”
“You know, Min Taehui, I can’t refuse what Grandpa says.”
[So, what are you going to do?]I wanted to say, ‘How about dating me?’, but I swallowed those words, imagining Min Taehui’s reaction. Especially since these days she seems to be distancing herself from me, I feared saying the wrong thing might push her away forever.
“I only have you as a friend, so help me think this through. You’re smart.”
[It feels like being mocked when someone with an IQ of 160 says I’m smart.]“I’m sincerely asking for help. You’re better at scheming than I am.”
[Wow, even when complimenting me, you manage to sneak in a dig.]Taehui bristled, and Sa Jun chuckled. Finally, Taehui joined in the laughter. Hearing her bright laughter over the phone, she seemed to return to her usual self, dispelling my earlier worries.
Still chuckling, Taehui asked again,
[Are you going to buy the macarons, or not?]“I’ll see.”
I planned to buy them.
But I wanted to play hard to get for once, charmed by Min Taehui’s voice, which I hadn’t heard in weeks.
[What if I get into trouble in Ilsan because my sugar levels drop?]“Don’t say creepy things like that.”
[You tell me not to, so I want to do it even more.]“You always disobey.”
Despite his words, a faint smile appeared on Sa Jun’s lips.
“I’ll buy you loads of them. But don’t cause any trouble and wait for me obediently.”
Taehui should have been ecstatic, shouting ‘yay’, but the other end of the phone was quiet.
“Min Taehui, did you hang up?”
[No.]“Then why aren’t you speaking?”
… Making me anxious.
[You’re so impatient. I was about to speak.]As if I hadn’t heard that a thousand times. I was about to retort when Taehui spoke.
[Wait for me quietly, and I’ll come quickly.]Suddenly, my mind went blank.
Did I mishear, or misunderstand? As I replayed her words in my head, the call had already ended.
Beep-beep[Disconnect].
Staring at the hung-up phone with a troubled look, Sa Jun thought to himself,
Definitely, Min Taehui has changed.
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~
