Married First, a Couple - Chapter 6

Do Joon entered a pharmacy that had just opened.

Not long after, Do Joon came out with a bag full of something.

It was a very odd item for Do Joon, who was dressed in a fancy designer suit.

After getting in the car, Do Joon took out a medicine box from the white bag. Then, as instructed by the pharmacist, he poured out the dosage amount of pills onto his large hand.

His gesture of handing over the medicine was kind, but his face was frozen cold.

Just like that day during the wedding photoshoot when he showed her the courtesy of covering her with his suit because Tae Yeon looked cold.

“For now, it would be good if you at least take this.”

“Thank you.”

Tae Yeon reached out her hand to take the pills.

The pills were so tiny that her fingers touched Do Joon’s palm as she tried to pick them up.

It was a trivial touch, but strangely, the fingers that made contact with his hand felt electrified.

Tae Yeon hurriedly took the pills and withdrew her hand.

Do Joon didn’t seem to mind her hand touching his at all, as his expression didn’t change one bit.

“It happened because Chairman Cha forcibly sent an assistant. I’m sorry.”

Seeing him apologize politely, Tae Yeon apologized as well.

“I was too awkward this morning, wasn’t I? It was a bit difficult to act as if looking at a loved one. I’m sorry.”

Tae Yeon was laughing awkwardly, seemingly genuinely sorry.

Do Joon stared intently at Tae Yeon’s face.

He knew very well that it was a lie that it was difficult for her to pretend as if looking at a loved one.

He would have to get used to her spitting out lies like she’s eating rice with that innocent face of hers.

With that thought, Do Joon let out a quiet, low voice.

“You did well. You even kissed my cheek in the end.”

“It was… not a kiss but a peck.”

Do Joon chuckled seeing Tae Yeon clearly correcting him.

“Right. Let’s call it a peck then.”

Do Joon himself tore open the medicine so it would be easy for Tae Yeon to take and placed it on her hand.

And he silently waited as if he would wait until she took it.

After Tae Yeon put the medicine in her mouth and swallowed, she nodded as if to say it was okay to depart. Do Joon gently started driving.

“If you continue to feel unwell, I’ll call Dr. Kim.”

“No. It’s just indigestion, there’s no need for that.”

“Keep checking your condition and let me know. I’m worried.”

Worried.

It was a word that was somewhat distant to be exchanged between the two of them.

‘Why would he be worried about me?’

That thought lasted only a moment. Soon, the answer came to her.

It must be because if she’s sick, it would impose many constraints on acting like this.

She decided to conclude as such.

It was around the time when Do Joon’s car, enveloped in silence, was almost arriving at the company. Tae Yeon hurriedly reached out and pointed to the crosswalk.

“Please drop me off in front of there.”

“Do you have somewhere to go?”

“No. I just thought it would be strange if we went to work together.”

At those words, Do Joon hesitated for a moment, then without a word, changed lanes to where Tae Yeon pointed.

And after dropping her off, he drove away quickly as if he had no lingering attachment.

“Haa.”

A sigh escaped between Tae Yeon’s red lips.

It was the only freedom she could have during the roughly 10 minutes of walking to the company.

The daily life that had been so natural was being disrupted starting from yesterday.

As she faced the refreshing air, the suffocation she felt while being with Do Joon was instantly relieved.

Tae Yeon walked towards the company as slowly as possible.

Because she wanted to delay the time to meet him even a little.

Seeing Do Joon arrive at work, Secretary Choi said,

“Did you drive directly to work?”

“Yeah.”

“From tomorrow, I will come pick you up.”

Do Joon couldn’t readily answer to that.

Until now, Secretary Choi had always accompanied him to and from work. One of Do Joon’s work methods was to save time by receiving reports while on the move.

However, he could no longer adhere to that method. Because of Tae Yeon.

Regrettably, upon hearing Secretary Choi’s words, the first person that came to mind was Tae Yeon.

With the thought that her discomfort would double if they rode together in the car driven by Secretary Choi.

And he found it absurd that he was having such thoughts.

Tae Yeon probably doesn’t care about him at all and is only thinking about giggling with another man.

“She should know that I’m being considerate like this for her sake.”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing. Secretary Choi, for the time being, you don’t need to worry about my commute to and from work.”

At those words, Secretary Choi didn’t press further. He judged that Do Joon needed time to talk with Tae Yeon alone.

“I understand. Since the directors will know you’ve returned to Korea, I suspect there will be movements from their side as well.”

“Probably. They can track well in Korea. Find the guy who delivered those bogus documents properly.”

“Yes, director.”

Do Joon vowed that once he finds out who it is, he won’t let them off easily.

“What time is the new product-related meeting?”

“It’s scheduled for 2 pm this afternoon.”

“Okay. You may go.”

2 pm today. The entire new business team of KK Foods is set to have a meeting regarding new products.

Which means he is scheduled to face Tae Yeon then.

Strangely, he was looking forward to it. What his wife would be like when working.

[This is the timeline separator]

The three people entered a high-end traditional Korean restaurant.

After entering a private room, they laughed loudly looking at each other’s faces as if something was so delightful.

After ordering the most expensive course, Hye Sook spoke first.

“Chairman Cha, did you know that your son-in-law has returned to Korea?”

President Jin replied with a deep frown.

“I heard yesterday too. Why didn’t Tae Yeon share such a thing in advance? Tsk.”

“She probably didn’t know either.”

“What? Then she hasn’t been in contact with her husband all this time?”

“Seems like it. That girl doesn’t do anything properly.”

Seeing them gossip about Tae Yeon, her twin sister Tae Jin curled up the corners of her lips. And leaning on Hye Sook’s shoulder, she acted coy.

“Mom, if you get angry like that, you’ll get wrinkles on your pretty face.”

“Then I can’t have that. From now on, I need to take care of myself to hear that mom is beautiful at our Tae Jin’s wedding.”

“But mom is already beautiful now?”

Tae Jin kept grinning from ear to ear. Then, as if thinking about Tae Yeon again, she fiercely frowned.

“I don’t even want to say that Jin Tae Yeon is my sister anywhere I go.”

“Right. Even though you’re sisters, I don’t know how you two are so different.”

As Hye Sook let out a deep sigh, Tae Jin stroked her hand and comforted her again this time.

“But you have reliable me, mom.”

“Of course. Without you, I don’t know how I would have lived… My daughter, want to have a date with mom after the meal today?”

“Sounds good.”

They looked like a happy family to anyone’s eyes.

And there seemed to be no place for Tae Yeon to fit in there.

Even while the ordered food came out and they ate, the three of them constantly chewed out Tae Yeon like a side dish. President Jin mumbled while ravenously tearing into the braised short ribs.

“And why is KK Foods in that state?”

“But seeing Chairman Cha’s son-in-law returning to Korea to try to grow KK Foods, it doesn’t seem like Chairman Cha will abandon KK Foods.”

“Invite your son-in-law and Tae Yeon over to the house soon.”

“I was going to do that anyway. Darling, while having a meal, casually mention our Chasin Dairy business to your son-in-law.”

Hye Sook placed well-grilled short ribs on Tae Jin’s plate and encouraged her to eat a lot.

“Whew. What would have happened if that man and my precious daughter had gotten married?”

“I know, right? Mom, I heard he’s having a homecoming party soon.”

“Eek. Where?”

“Where else could it be but a club? He’s really a man of low quality. Lots of women and huge scandals.”

Hye Sook clicked her tongue along with Tae Jin.

“If his family wasn’t one that could help our business, we wouldn’t have gotten involved with him at all.”

“That’s right. Other than his decent looks, he’s a worthless man, isn’t he?”

“Yeah. Even his looks, well… Our daughter is too good for him actually.”

Hye Sook tapped Tae Jin’s bottom while looking at her with loving eyes.

In Hye Sook’s two eyes, there was only Tae Jin.

There was only one thought about her own daughter Tae Yeon.

When thinking about the business Chasin Dairy will do with KK Foods, that was it.

2 pm. Do Joon attended the meeting of KK Foods’ new business team.

Everyone greeted him with stiff postures.

“Alright, begin.”

At Do Joon’s words, Team Leader Park came forward and led the meeting. They took turns presenting the proposals they had prepared.

As if he wasn’t pleased at all, Do Joon, who was watching the presentations, let out a deep sigh. The atmosphere in the meeting room sank even further.

Finally, it was Tae Yeon’s turn. As if he had no expectations at all, Do Joon leaned deep into his chair and closed his eyes tightly.

Even seeing Do Joon’s behavior, Tae Yeon came forward without being discouraged, projected her proposal on the screen, and began her presentation.

“As much as there is high interest in dieting, I thought it would be good for our KK Foods to also create new products in line with that trend.”

The new product Tae Yeon brought was konjac rice made with konjac. Do Joon asked again as if it was very strange.

“Konjac rice?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s a product I conceived with the idea of capturing customers on a diet by adding more healthy ingredients and lowering calories.”

It was the exact opposite of the expectation that she would present a new product using dairy products so that Chasin Dairy’s products could be utilized.

Do Joon pulled his upper body forward and gestured as if telling her to continue.

“I envisioned two types in total: one product mixing in grains such as oats, barley, and brown rice, and another product flavored with soybean paste.”

Unlike other team members who only brought vague ideas, the proposal Tae Yeon prepared was close to perfection. To the point that discussion on new product development could proceed right away.

Do Joon had a dazed look on his face like someone who had been hit on the head. And rubbing the back of his neck, he focused on her presentation.

After Tae Yeon’s presentation ended, the lights in the meeting room turned on.

Although it didn’t show, she must have been somewhat nervous as Tae Yeon was looking at Do Joon with an awkward smile.

Team Leader Park and all the team members gave Tae Yeon a thumbs up and sent her cheers for a job well done.

“I listened well. I will review a bit more and select one of the proposals presented today to proceed with as a new product.”

Do Joon left his seat first.

It was impossible to know his intentions at all, whether he liked it or not.

[This is the timeline separator]

Tae Yeon’s office phone rang as she was working at her seat after returning.

“Yes, this is Assistant Manager Jin Tae Yeon of the New Business Team.”

−Come to my office now.

It was Do Joon.

As she put down the receiver with a quizzical tilt of her head, Yoon Ji, who was sitting next to her, asked,

“Who was it?”

“The Executive Director.”

“Why?”

“He told me to come to his office for a moment.”

“Maybe because your proposal was so good?”

With a dumbfounded face, Tae Yeon knocked on the door of Do Joon’s office.

Hearing him say to come in, she entered and saw Do Joon focused on documents without taking his eyes off.

“You called for me?”

Only then did Do Joon put down his pen and stand up from his seat. And coming close, he stared intently at Tae Yeon’s face.

“It seems there’s a lot I don’t know about you.”

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~
