Seo Ha appreciated the kindness, but it wasn’t a situation where she could take care of things like batter. As Seo Ha tried to shake her head, Seung Oh gently stopped her and answered on her behalf.
“How would our princess cook pancakes? Never mind.”
Seung Oh often called Seo Ha a princess. The word that always made her feel good, today it was strangely irritating.
“Let’s just go. Honey, help me walk.”
Taking care of the sensitive and fragile Seo Ha was always Seung Oh’s responsibility. Seo Ha believed without a doubt that she would be able to rely on Seung Oh’s large hand and strong arm to help her walk home today.
However, that belief was shattered by a single scream.
“Ahhhh!”
Ji Soo had hurriedly stood up, lost her balance, and fallen like the Little Mermaid.
“Ouch…”
“Are you okay?”
The hand that always supported Seo Ha now reached out to the fallen Ji Soo. Ji Soo hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the hand and rushed over to Seo Ha.
“Miss, please take the pancakes. You probably didn’t have much dinner. I don’t want to inconvenience you because of me…”
“It’s fine. I don’t like pancakes anyway.”
“Ah, yes… I’m sorry, Miss.”
Ji Soo’s face turned as red as a beet. Seung Oh, who had been quietly watching, picked up the stillwrapped bag of pancakes in one swoop.
“Thank you, Ji Soo. It smells good.”
After helping Ji Soo up and packing the pancakes, it was Seo Ha’s turn. Seo Ha slapped away Seung Oh’s outstretched hand and crossed the living room on her own strength.
She had been really happy and excited on her way there. The bag of pancakes and the scent of fabric softener from the dress seemed to have nibbled away at her happiness.
No one spoke on their way home.
As soon as she got back, Seo Ha quickly washed up and lay in bed. Seung Oh would come in soon, probably with a cup of herbal tea that was good for headaches.
As Seo Ha had expected, quiet footsteps approached and stopped next to the bed a short while later.
“Drink this.”
The aroma of the herbal tea she often drank when she had a headache wafted around the bed.
“…Later.”
“It’s the perfect temperature now. Drink it and lie back down.”
Seung Oh supported Seo Ha’s neck and helped her sit up. He was his usual self, not saying much and being a bit blunt, but always taking care of her attentively. Seo Ha pretended to give in and took the warm teacup, sipping a few mouthfuls.
“How do you feel?”
“Better than before.”
“Drink all of it. I’ll help you to the bathroom.”
While Seo Ha emptied the teacup, Seung Oh silently stayed by her side. It was the comforting silence that Seo Ha loved.
“…Why did you do that earlier?”
After finishing the herbal tea, Seo Ha asked softly.
“You know I treasure that dress. You didn’t take my side even though you knew I’d be upset. I was also hurt when you helped Ji Soo up first when I said I had a headache. And the most hurtful thing was when you laughed so loudly at what Ji Soo said, even though you don’t laugh that much when you’re with me.”
Seung Oh took the empty teacup and set it down beside them. His touch on Seo Ha’s slightly dry shoulder seemed casual but warm.
“I’m sorry.”
“Is that all?”
“I didn’t take your side there because I thought your mom would be upset and might not think you’re pretty. I helped Ji Soo up first because it was a reflex when I saw her fall in front of me. I’m sorry for laughing too. I just laughed because the word was funny. That’s all.”
The hand that had been touching her shoulder slowly wrapped around Seo Ha and pulled her closer. Seo Ha leaned into Seung Oh’s broad, warm embrace, took a deep breath, and tried to let go of her earlier hurt and discomfort.
“Be more careful now.”
“Of course, I’ll be careful. My beloved princess.”
“Calling me a princess again.”
“Is there something wrong with that? I plan to serve Yoon Seo Ha as a princess for the rest of my life.”
Seo Ha started to like the word “princess” again. She playfully hugged Seung Oh’s waist and buried her face even deeper into his chest.
“I love you. Really, a lot.”
“I love you too.”
There was no way to know what Seung Oh’s expression looked like as he gently stroked her hair and answered.
Seo Ha was in an incredibly good mood. She had woken up for no reason at the break of dawn, and suddenly, an amazing design idea had popped into her head. She hadn’t been able to sleep since then because she was busy visualizing the design in her head and sketching it out, but her excitement was greater than her fatigue.
“Get some sleep on the way to work. You said you woke up at 3 a.m. yesterday.”
Seung Oh said as he started the car.
“I’m too excited to sleep. This is a completely new design. I think it’s going to be my brand’s signature.”
“Hmm.”
That was the extent of his reaction. It was disappointing.
“Aren’t you going to congratulate me? You know I’ve been feeling down lately because I couldn’t come up with any designs.”
“It’s nothing new. You’re always so good at everything that if I tried to congratulate you for each one, there would be no end.”
“This time, even a hundred congratulations wouldn’t be too much. It’s not like designs that perfectly fit my taste come along often.”
“Alright, alright. Congratulations. Princess.”
Seung Oh reached out a hand and gently ruffled Seo Ha’s hair. The feeling of receiving a bow while lying down wasn’t particularly refreshing.
The couple’s commute to work was always similar.
Unless there was a special reason, they would take the same car to ‘Kang Yoon Company.’ Seo Ha, a designer, would get off at the third floor where Design Team 1 was located, and Seung Oh, a manager, would get off at the fifth floor where the business support department was. Everyone knew that the couple, who had accumulated skills and experience, would eventually inherit the company.
“Are you going up to the president’s office?”
Seung Oh asked as he noticed Seo Ha pressing the button for the top floor instead of the usual third floor.
“Yes. I want to show it to him right away.”
Seo Ha spoke proudly, clutching the design book filled with new ideas from last night. It was a treasurelike design that she had created after overcoming a monthslong slump.
“Should I go with you? I’m curious too.”
“You’re asking even though you know it’s absolutely not allowed, right?”
Business is business, and love is love. It was unthinkable to reveal the signature of a new brand that designer Yoon Seo Ha was launching with her name and career on the line before the sample production.
Seo Ha hugged the design book tightly and went up to the president’s office alone. Just as she was about to raise her hand and lightly knock, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
“Ah!”
Surprised, Seo Ha jumped back. Her hand, which almost collided with the door handle, lost strength, and the design book fell open on the floor.
“Ah. Darn it.”
The person who had come out of the room picked up the fallen design book and dusted it off with a rather insincere gesture.
He was a tall man with broad shoulders, dressed in a suit. His slim figure and slightly slanted eyes without double eyelids, combined with his fair skin, gave him a cold and irritable impression. If he were an employee likely to come out of the president’s office, Seo Ha should have known him, but she couldn’t remember who he was, no matter how hard she tried.
“Is this yours?”
The man asked, as if throwing the question at her. Seo Ha didn’t want to answer his ambiguously rude question, so she just held out her hand. Leaving rudeness aside, it was his turn to apologize and return the design book he had picked up to Seo Ha, as any person with a normal sense of reasoning would do.
“…”
He stood still, staring at Seo Ha as if observing her. His behavior was a bit distant from what Seo Ha considered a ‘normal person.’
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:
