Ihyeon took the post-it note, held it up close to his face, then opened his desk drawer to take out a cherished note.
It was the note left by the woman who disappeared that day.
“The handwriting is the same.”
He couldn’t stop smiling.
“It’s not just the handwriting.”
Whether his eyes were open or closed, lately, all he could think about was Yerin.
When he visited the CEO of the Cetto brand to inquire about that woman, Yerin’s reflection was clearly visible in the glass-walled conference room.
Yerin kept shaking her head and crossing her hands over her chest, probably telling the Cetto brand’s CEO Kim Nari not to divulge any crucial information.
He nearly laughed out loud at the sight.
How long could Yerin keep hiding that she was that woman?
That was also interesting to him.
He was curious why Yerin wouldn’t admit she was that woman.
So far, Ihyeon had only seen women who were eager to please him.
That’s why Yerin’s reluctance to mention that day’s events piqued his interest.
That led him to propose this absurd fake relationship.
And, in truth, he couldn’t forget that night.
Specifically, the woman who disappeared, Yerin.
He wanted her by his side and to know more about her.
To understand that inexplicable feeling he had for her.
Having her around often seemed like a good enough reason for this fake relationship.
The more reasons to intertwine their lives personally, the better.
Ihyeon tucked away the note from the disappeared woman and the post-it from Yerin with care.
“This is evidence, after all.”
Even when Yerin reported her departure for the day, Ihyeon let her go with a friendly smile.
She was relieved to be able to leave but also anxious.
‘I haven’t yet told the Director that I don’t want a fake relationship.’
Thinking Ihyeon had somewhat understood her reluctance, Yerin headed to the S Hotel with light steps.
Thanks to Nari’s reservation, they were led to a private room at the restaurant.
“Hey, Han Yerin!”
“Nari!”
Nari opened the door and welcomed Yerin with open arms.
Yerin hugged her back and then sat down.
“I have so much I want to ask.”
“Let’s eat first.”
The two ordered pasta and waited for their meal to arrive.
“Why is Director Cha Ihyeon looking for a woman who resembles you?”
“Ah.” Just thinking about it gave me a headache.
“Nari, don’t be shocked, but listen.”
“It must be shocking then. Okay, I’m ready.”
“I actually… with our Director…”
Yerin spilled everything about what had happened that day.
She also mentioned unintentionally getting her original boss disciplined, which led her to cross paths with Ihyeon again.
Nari was speechless with her mouth wide open.
“Crazy. So he’s asking you to find that woman?”
“Yes.”
“But, that woman is you.”
“Of course, I can’t say that.”
“Why not? Just tell him confidently!”
“I can’t.”
Yerin explained the reasons why she couldn’t.
She added the part about how Ihyeon said she would be responsible for all the damages caused by her inability to work properly if that woman was found.
“Is that the situation?”
“Yes.”
“That’s tricky.”
Nari empathized with Yerin’s predicament, running a hand through her hair.
“But I thought of a good idea.”
“What is it?”
Nari motioned Yerin closer and whispered in her ear.
“That’s crazy. You’re joking, right?”
“I’m serious.”
There was no trace of jest on Nari’s face.
“How about it? If you use my method, you won’t have to find the disappeared woman, right?”
“No way. How could I do such a thing.”
“What if you really seduce the Director? The situation would change, right?”
“To make him forget about that woman?”
“Exactly.”
Yerin shook her head determinedly.
“I can’t do that.”
The more entangled she became with Ihyeon, the more the situation spiraled into unforeseen directions.
That’s why it was better not to create any points of contact with him.
“I really just want to run away.”
Yerin, feeling trapped in her situation, sighed deeply.
Despite having set no trap, she felt like she had unwittingly fallen into one.
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~
