During lunchtime, Taeyeon called Yunji separately. They entered a restaurant a bit away from the company and ordered sandwiches and coffee for a light meal.
“Taeyeon, you really worked hard for the launch of the new product.”
“I’m glad the response is good.”
“That’s true.”
Biting into a sandwich, Taeyeon cautiously spoke.
“I’m planning to take about a two-week vacation starting next week.”
“Good idea. You haven’t had a proper break during all this time.”
Taeyeon faintly smiled. Yunji noticed that Taeyeon seemed more tired than usual. If the response to the new product was explosive, the Taeyeon she knew wouldn’t be able to contain her laughter. However, now she sat hunched over as if she had lost everything in the world.
Without asking what happened—because she was sure the answer would be no—Yunji asked another question.
“Where are you going for your vacation?”
“Huh?”
“Are you going alone or with someone?”
“Oh. I’m going alone.”
Without taking her gaze off Taeyeon’s face, Yunji asked,
“Should I take a vacation during the same period then?”
“Huh?”
Surprised by Yunji’s question, Taeyeon hesitated. Normally, Yunji would have suggested going together without waiting for her to propose it first.
“Oh… I just want to be alone and quiet this time.”
“Really? Well, can’t be helped. Let’s plan to go together next time.”
Taeyeon only nodded slowly.
Looking at her, Yunji was convinced that something was definitely wrong.
“But when you come back, are you going to submit a new proposal for the new product? Why do I have no ideas this time?”
It was a question thrown to test Taeyeon’s reaction.
Normally, Taeyeon would spread out her ideas proudly, feeling invigorated.
But today was different from Yunji’s expectations.
“I don’t have any particular ideas this time.”
She seemed exhausted.
The usually energetic Taeyeon was nowhere to be found, sitting there as if she had given up on everything.
Unable to hold back, Yunji finally asked,
“Are you in a slump?”
“Huh?”
“No, anyone would think you’re about to resign tomorrow the way you’re sitting.”
“……”
Taeyeon dropped the sandwich she was holding.
Seeing that, Yunji’s lips slowly opened.
“What’s wrong with you, really?”
“So… Yunji.”
“What?”
“I’m going to take a vacation and then resign.”
“……”
Yunji lost her appetite, almost throwing the sandwich on the table.
“Why? I mean, the response to this new product is so good. Your promotion is almost guaranteed, isn’t it?”
No response.
“You were the one who enjoyed working at our company more than anyone else.”
“Work… is still enjoyable.”
That meant external factors were pushing her to resign.
Remembering the scene she had witnessed even in the executive restroom, Yunji cautiously asked,
“Is it because of the Branch Manager?”
“…….”
Seeing that she didn’t deny it, it seemed to be true. Yunji didn’t know what to say, so her lips trembled in uncertainty. Thus, a moment of silence passed between them, and Yunji, who broke the silence, had been contemplating for a while.
“Why. Did you fight with the Branch Manager?”
“No, nothing like that.”
“Then, are you getting a divorce?”
At that statement, Taeyeon’s eyes widened noticeably as she had been staring at the table. When Yunji slowly pushed her head up, Taeyeon’s face revealed a bewildered expression.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“No, Yunji. Did you know about this?”
“Know what? That you and the Branch Manager are a couple?”
Taeyeon covered her mouth with both hands.
“Since when?”
“Um, since the Branch Manager returned?”
“…….”
Beep-
Perhaps due to being too surprised, a ringing sound echoed in Taeyeon’s ears.
“You knew.”
“Well, they seemed to want to keep it a secret, so I pretended not to know.”
Yunji, pulling her upper body even closer, asked,
“Hey, are you really considering a divorce? Is that why you’re sorting things out at the company?”
Taeyeon’s hazel eyes trembled slightly.
She knew too well that no matter what she said, it wouldn’t be understood in her current situation.
Watching Taeyeon looking confused, Yunji let out a short sigh.
“It seems like you really are.”
“I mean, I…”
“I thought you two were such a good match. But I guess there are other circumstances.”
If it’s difficult, there’s no need to talk about it, Yunji comforted Taeyeon.
“What did the Branch Manager say?”
She still hadn’t spoken.
Well, actually, she didn’t have the confidence to talk about it while looking at Dojun’s face.
With no response from Taeyeon, Yunji quickly changed the topic.
“Okay, forget it. You guys will figure it out. Anyway, where are you planning to go for the trip?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
It wasn’t important where they would go. The goal was simply to leave Dojun.
“Go to Busan.”
“Busan?”
“Yeah. Our parents run a guesthouse there.”
“That’s right. We were supposed to go there together, but we haven’t been yet.”
“They say there aren’t many people these days, and the guesthouse is completely empty.”
After hearing that, Taeyeon thought for a moment.
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~
