Xiwoo’s blue eyes quickly scanned the inside of the hospital room. Beyond Ijoon’s shoulders, he saw Eunha, covered with a white blanket, soundly asleep.
Xiwoo shifted his gaze back to Ijoon.
Although Ijoon had an expressionless face, there was something he couldn’t hide. Disheveled hair. Rising and falling chest. Unsettled breathing and such.
It was a restless and tense appearance, not much different from Xiwoo, who had just entered the room.
‘Did he rush here?’
Did he worry about the senior? Why is he here? Feeling somewhat irritated, Xiwoo sharpened his gaze at Ijoon.
“Why are you here?”
Xiwoo threw the question, but Ijoon didn’t respond. He just turned his eyes to Eunha, who was sleeping deeply under the influence of a sleep-inducing agent.
Unlike usual, Eunha, who had taken the sleep-inducing agent, did not easily wake up even at the sound of conversation.
“I asked why you’re here.”
“…….”
“You know that your senior is hospitalized, and that he’s here. Aren’t you afraid?”
Xiwoo shot sharp words as if interrogating. However, the response from Ijoon was not an answer to the question just asked.
“It seems that there are no specific injuries. Do you happen to know anything?”
Xiwoo’s eyebrows wiggled significantly. Judging by Ijoon’s attitude, it seemed he had no intention of answering Xiwoo’s previous question.
If that was the case, Xiwoo also had no intention of answering his question.
“I have no information to convey to you.”
Of course, Xiwoo had not received any information about Eunha’s condition just arriving at the hospital. But even if there were information, he had no intention or need to notify Ijoon.
Xiwoo stepped confidently between Ijoon and Eunha.
Thud!
As if blocking any further approach, Xiwoo extended his arm and stood between them. The hair beneath his hood was gradually turning white.
“The senior is someone I’m protecting. So, I can’t provide any related information to someone like you, who might be an enemy or ally.”
“Protect?”
Listening quietly, Ijoon let out a dry laugh. Through twisted lips, he said something strange.
“So, you’re protecting Eunha?”
Eunha?
The unfamiliar name changed Xiwoo’s gaze for a moment. Ignoring Xiwoo’s change, Ijoon calmly loosened his necktie.
“If that’s the case, you’re doing it wrong. If you were properly protecting her, she wouldn’t be lying in a place like this wearing a patient gown.”
Crackle…
A nostalgic scent. Xiwoo instinctively covered his nose.
It was such a faint scent that an ordinary person might not have noticed, but Xiwoo, who had a sensitive sense of smell, could easily detect it.
This isn’t a perfume scent. Not the smell of blood either.
‘Pheromone scent.’
Perhaps it could be called a body odor.
Xiwoo, who covered his nose with his hand, frowned and said, “Don’t you have the right to say such things to you?”
Xiwoo clearly remembered.
The first time he uttered Ijoon’s name, Eunha’s face came to mind. During the Burst Gate search, the gaze Eunha cast at Ijoon from a distance. The voice of Eunha recalling past events with Ijoon.
Unable to describe it skillfully in words, everything was ever so slightly different from usual. It was an extremely subtle difference, but Xiwoo could easily notice it.
“Senior wanted to meet you.”
A faint displeasure flickered in Xiwoo’s blue eyes. As if unimpressed, he raised his eyebrows slightly. Clenching his fist vaguely, he asked again.
“But what about you?”
“…….”.
For a moment, a strange light flickered on Ijoon’s face. It was just a brief moment, but Xiwoo clearly noticed that momentary change.
The thick scent that had filled the hospital room had disappeared like smoke.
Was he hesitating? Xiwoo wasn’t sure. He struck again.
“Do you now pretend to be a colleague? If so, it’s a bit amusing, isn’t it? Maestro.”
Eunha and Ijoon were said to have been close comrades for a considerable period during the turbulent times.
However, Ijoon’s attitude toward Eunha could by no means be considered the same as that toward a beloved colleague. Word has it that even this time, the senior’s suspension from activities was due to his influence.
Saving a life and engaging in such bizarre behavior against someone trapped in the gate.
‘No, more than that.’
Above all, what Xiwoo didn’t like was Ijoon’s attitude when he came out of the blue and demanded a contract termination with her.
Even if he investigated, information about the Maestro Hunter itself was limited due to the veil surrounding it and the difference in nationality.
The conclusion is this. Shin Xiwoo does not trust Baek Ijoon. Even if he is the first S-rank Hunter in South Korea and a 1st generation Hunter like Eunha.
“…….”.
“…….”.
Silence ensued.
In the quiet hospital room, the faint sound of Eunha’s breathing, the only white noise, was heard.
Ijoon did not step back, and neither did Xiwoo. In the uncomfortable atmosphere, a knock was heard.
“Excuse me─.”
Following that, the one who opened the door and entered was a doctor from the hospital.
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:
