Why bother.
Seemingly concerned about potential eavesdropping devices, Tae Yeon scanned her surroundings in the space.
“There’s only you and me in this space.”
Why was he uttering words he didn’t mean then?
In the midst of Tae Yeon’s curiosity, Do Jun moved one step closer, narrowing the distance.
“Typically, a newlywed couple who’s been apart this long would…”
“…”
“Do you know what they’d do?”
How could she know?
At the age of 25, she had kept a wall between herself, relationships, and men; in such situations, she couldn’t but be ignorant.
Do Jun, as if to teach her the answer himself, stepped closer and stared intently at her with a cold gaze quite distant from affectionate.
“I guess they’d hug and kiss while telling each other how much they missed each other, something cheesy like that.”
“What are you suggesting?”
With a surprised look on her face, Tae Yeon covered her mouth with her hand and instinctively stepped back.
She remembered the emotionless kiss on the day of their wedding shoot.
Although Do Jun, infamous for his many women, probably didn’t feel the same, that was Tae Yeon’s first kiss.
She still felt very bitter thinking about how her precious first kiss was wasted on a mere photo shoot. She’d been looking at that picture from the moment she woke up till she fell asleep.
Snick
Seeing Tae Yeon tense, a mocking laughter slipped from Do Jun’s lips.
“I’m not suggesting we do it now.”
“Ah, okay.”
“We’re not a couple who got married out of love. Isn’t that so?”
“Yes, we’re not that kind of couple.”
Do Jun glanced at the clock on the wall and gestured towards the door.
“I think it’d be better if we discussed our many shared stories after work, at home.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Good. Oh, and if our employees ask why I called you, what will you answer?”
“…”
Unable to think of an excuse, Tae Yeon couldn’t respond. She couldn’t possibly mention her sudden reappearance after a year and a half.
Do Jun thought for a moment, then provided an excuse on her behalf.
“Say I called you because you resemble my first love. I thought you might be someone I know.”
“What?”
Before she could even ask what he meant, Do Jun waved his hand, signaling her to leave quickly. Tae Yeon bowed politely and opened the door to his office.
He pushed her out with such a useless excuse. He might as well have not said anything.
As expected, when Tae Yeon returned to her office, everyone was looking at her with curiosity.
“What did you talk about?”
“We had a brief meeting.”
“Really? Why did he call you first?”
“I don’t know.”
Tae Yeon shrugged and sat down at her desk, pretending to be calm. Thankfully, no one else asked her further and focused on their own work.
Her mind was tangled with complex thoughts. It was shocking that he had returned so suddenly, but she was more worried about the inevitable changes in her life ahead.
Rrrrr.
Lost in her thoughts, Tae Yeon’s phone rang. The caller was her father, President Yoon Dong Pil.
Seeing Team Leader Park’s glance, Tae Yeon headed for the ladies’ lounge.
“Yes, father.”
Tae Yeon, did you know!
As soon as she answered the call, her father’s enraged voice rang out. It was always like this. Tae Yeon clenched her eyes and continued the call.
“What are you talking about?”
Your husband Cha, he came to KK Foods today.
“Ah, you’re very quick to hear news.”
Dong Pil yelled loudly. Tae Yeon turned down the call volume and sighed deeply.
“Father, I found out just a little while ago.”
Huh, it’s very disappointing that you’re so irresponsible. I didn’t raise my daughter to be like this.
“Even if I knew beforehand, nothing would’ve changed.”
Did you forget your promise to take good care of Cha?
“I remember very well.”
From the start, she was a substitute for her twin sister Tae Jin who didn’t want to do things. She had never been loved equally with Tae Jin in her life.
It was the same with her marriage to Do Jun. It was an arranged marriage to the daughter of Cha Corporation, and naturally, Tae Yeon was selected as Do Jun’s partner because Tae Jin strongly disliked him, known for his libertine lifestyle and preference for women.
KK Foods was necessary for Cha Shin Business, and like it was being sold, Tae Yeon was exploited in this marriage. It was under the condition that it was okay to get divorced after living for 2 years.
Of course, the marriage was not without gain for Tae Yeon. It was the only opportunity to escape from Dong Pil and Hye Sook, who had been comparing her breathlessly with Tae Jin for 25 years and receiving abuse.
Once, she had run away claiming independence when she was over 20 years old, but Dong Pil found her in just an hour by mobilizing all kinds of connections.
Thinking about that time still made her dizzy. She was confined in a room for a week and heard severe scolding that was hard to accept.
Yes. If it weren’t for the marriage, Tae Yeon couldn’t even dream of independence.
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:
