My Husband's Scandal (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
Today, at the Yoorim Hotel’s Yooseong Hall, Kang Hyun and Yoon held their engagement ceremony.
Yoon had been dragged out at the crack of dawn, gotten her hair and makeup done at a salon, put on the dress Seo Jung had chosen, and was now sitting blankly in the waiting room.
It was a blush-colored silk chiffon dress that matched the pure and innocent fiancée concept—draped by hand with every small detail perfected, giving it a lovely yet luxurious feel.
Her hair was styled in waves, half-tied with a ribbon accent, making her innocent charm stand out even more.
“Argh! If I’d known it was Cha Kang Hyun, I would’ve done it myself. Me!”
Yoo Jin’s grumpy, repetitive whining continued today as well.
“You don’t know Cha Kang Hyun? He has zero manners and he’s a total playboy. You couldn’t handle him.”
Kyeong Jin, Yoo Jin’s second oldest sister, clicked her tongue while looking at her.
“I don’t care. Can’t I do it even now? It doesn’t have to be her anyway!”
Yoo Jin, still unable to let go, kept throwing a tantrum.
“Kyeong Jin-ah, take her out of here. She’s going to cause trouble today.”
Hyun Jin, the eldest sister, said.
“What is this? Why is she the one marrying Kang Hyun oppa? I’m seriously losing it.”
Yoo Jin screamed while pulling at her already messy hair even harder.
“You wouldn’t work anyway. If you’d stepped up saying you’d marry him, do you think Kang Hyun would’ve agreed? He’s the type who’d die for his older brother. He only stepped in because they were going to marry the illegitimate child off.”
“Ugh, whatever. Then just say I’m illegitimate too.”
“What?”
The two sisters sighed in disbelief at Yoo Jin, who seemed to have regressed in maturity rather than grown up.
“Hey! It must be nice being the illegitimate one.”
Suddenly, Yoo Jin turned her glare on Yoon as if she wanted to kill her. Yoon flinched. Even after ten years, facing Yoo Jin still made her body freeze instinctively.
“How do you have this much luck? Hey, take off that dress! I’m going to wear it. Argh!”
At that moment, Yoo Jin suddenly lunged at Yoon. Kyeong Jin and Hyun Jin hurriedly grabbed her and barely managed to hold her back.
Yoon just closed her eyes and trembled.
“Didn’t she take her meds earlier?”
Hyun Jin shook her head.
“She probably did.”
“Take her out. At this rate she might rip the dress apart. We have to get through the engagement safely, at least.”
Kyeong Jin finally dragged Yoo Jin by the arm.
“Good grief, what did she even eat….”
Kyeong Jin barely hauled the girl twice her size outside.
Yoon, fully made up and wearing the uncomfortable princess-style flowing dress, had been terrified listening to all of Yoo Jin’s outbursts. The moment Yoo Jin left, she let out a huge sigh of relief.
“Hey!”
This time it was Hyun Jin, arms crossed, glaring sharply at Yoon.
“Yes?”
“Don’t get too happy. Do you know who Cha Kang Hyun despises most in the world?”
Right now, Yoon only felt grateful that Yoo Jin was gone—she didn’t care who Kang Hyun despised.
“It’s illegitimate children. He absolutely hates them. So good luck from now on. Hmph!”
After sneering at Yoon to her heart’s content, Hyun Jin left too.
“Phew….”
Yoon sighed. Only then could she lean back comfortably in the chair. She’d been tense the whole time, afraid Yoo Jin might grab her by the collar and shake her.
Yoon felt pathetic that even now, seeing Yoo Jin still made her body shake.
“You’re an adult now. How long are you going to be like this? Please stop shaking.”
She comforted herself and just wished this engagement thing would end quickly.
Above all, having to keep facing these people was torture. The thought of being tied to people she never wanted to see again made her shudder already.
On top of that, the whole situation felt like watching a boring, tedious movie. It didn’t feel like her own engagement. She just wanted to throw everything off and go home to rest.
“Why did Kang Hyun suddenly step in instead of Executive Director Cha without any discussion?”
Seo Jung didn’t care whether it was Yoo Hyun or Kang Hyun, but she was annoyed that they’d done whatever they wanted.
“We suddenly switched to Yoon too, so we’re not exactly in a position to complain.”
Ji Man, however, thought Kang Hyun might actually be better. His fandom was huge—perfect for using him in next year’s election.
“He even wants the wedding to be completely private. Everything has to be his way.”
Seo Jung’s voice dripped with irritation. She couldn’t believe that little punk was doing whatever he wanted without consulting the adults.
She wasn’t close to Kyung Ho and hadn’t seen Kang Hyun often, but whenever she did, he’d been unbelievably arrogant even as a child.
By family hierarchy, everyone knew her son Kyung Ho ranked far higher, yet Kang Hyun had always acted confident. Seeing Kyung Ho shrink in front of Kang Hyun had upset her more than once or twice.
“That kid treats adults like jokes.”
“Isn’t private actually better? Why are you complaining?”
Ji Man thought private was preferable. Yoon’s existence could become a problem at any time. She was on the family register, but if anyone dug properly it would be a headache.
And since she’d already gotten what wanted from Chairman Cha, didn’t care whether the wedding was public or not. A slightly delayed announcement would be fine.
Then Ji Man remembered seeing Yoon for the first time in ten years in the waiting room earlier. Seeing how beautifully Yoon had grown, felt it was almost a waste to tie her to Woosung Construction.
She had good looks and a decent educational background.
“I should’ve noticed that child first. With that level, could’ve made a marriage alliance with an even better family. At least the second son of DK Electronics would’ve been possible.”
The second son of DK Electronics was over forty and had two divorces, but Yoon being illegitimate still left room for possibility.
“I can always divorce her later when the time is right and find her another place.”
Ji Man once again felt glad for putting Yoon on the family register.
She was far superior in every way compared to own other three daughters. Especially compared to the wild Yoo Jin—the difference was heaven and earth.
Kang Hyun and Yoon’s engagement ceremony began. At Kang Hyun’s insistence, it was strictly private.
No media was informed; only family and close relatives attended, but this moment firmly tied Cha Yoon Chang and Seo Ji Man through marriage.
Kang Hyun glanced sideways at Yoon, who stood quietly beside him like a perfect lady. Today was only their second meeting since the matchmaking.
“You’re a school teacher?”
“Yes.”
Kang Hyun had been surprised to learn she wasn’t some idle freeloader but an actual high school Korean literature teacher.
“Is a teacher supposed to act like that? Were you that desperate to marry into a chaebol family?”
“…….”
Kang Hyun sneered again today. Yoon decided it was better not to respond and pressed her lips together.
“Is it an act?”
While holding Yoon’s tiny, delicate hand—barely half the size of his—for the cake cutting, he asked.
“Yes?”
“This whole docile thing. I absolutely hate stuffy people. If it’s an act, drop it.”
Kang Hyun looked down at her with an indifferent face.
“…….”
“Well, it’s better than someone loud and annoying. Keep it up then.”
Yoon had only just learned why Kang Hyun was doing this marriage. He apparently hated illegitimate children in particular. So Cha Kang Hyun had stepped on the landmine in place of his brother.
Now she also understood why he’d been so rude at the matchmaking. But no matter the reason, she didn’t deserve this treatment.
Because she hadn’t wanted this marriage either.
“Phew….”
“Why are you sighing?”
“Can’t I even sigh?”
Yoon was exhausted from being tormented by one person after another since morning.
“Fine, do whatever you want. It’s not a real marriage anyway, so no need to act all meek.”
“I’ve never acted meek.”
“Is that so. Teacher.”
Yoon grew more and more confused about the person named Cha Kang Hyun.
“What kind of person is he?”
The boy she’d met as a child had definitely been kind.
But now—was he acting like this because he was marrying her, the illegitimate child he despised, or had he always been this rude?
She’d occasionally seen articles saying he wasn’t particularly nice, but she really hadn’t known he was this bad.
“What am I even doing here?”
Being in a space where everyone was hostile toward her reminded her of those hellish days ten years ago in the Seongbuk-dong house. She was terrified of returning to that kind of life.
Then her eyes met Yoo Jin’s, who was glaring as if she’d murder her. Startled, Yoon quickly looked away. She started shaking again.
Yoo Jin’s eyes looked like she might charge over and grab her by the collar any second.
“Are you cold?”
Kang Hyun looked down at the trembling Yoon and asked.
“Uh… the air conditioning is too strong.”
Yoon stammered while stealing glances at Yoo Jin, who was still glaring.
“You’re just too frail. How do you teach kids when you’re this weak?”
Despite his words, Kang Hyun somehow found himself concerned about Yoon, who looked utterly terrified.
“I’m not frail.”
Yoon answered a little sulkily.
“You’ve got some temper, huh?”
Saying that, something vaguely familiar flashed through Kang Hyun’s mind. Her slender shoulders also felt somehow familiar.
“Have we met before?”
He asked the same question he’d asked at the matchmaking.
“No.”
Yoon didn’t feel like bringing up the past to Kang Hyun, who didn’t recognize her. Even if she told him, he probably wouldn’t react at all.
She’d probably just be ignored again. It was better if that memory remained beautiful only in her mind.
Just then, Yoo Jin suddenly shot up from her seat. Yoon reflexively flinched and stumbled. Kang Hyun caught her by the waist.
“What’s wrong?”
He checked her complexion and asked.
“…….”
As Yoo Jin approached with a menacing face, Yoon’s mouth froze; she couldn’t speak. She was so terrified she couldn’t even feel Kang Hyun’s arm around her waist.
‘I’m scared.’
Yoon squeezed her eyes shut. When no commotion followed, she cautiously opened them again and glanced toward Yoo Jin.
Thankfully, Hyun Jin and Kyeong Jin were dragging her out.
“Phew….”
Yoon let out a sigh of relief.
“Are you okay?”
Kang Hyun looked down at Yoon trembling in his arms and asked in a worried voice.
Her appearance somehow overlapped with memories of his older brother Yoo Hyun struggling with panic disorder.
After confirming once more that Yoo Jin was gone, Yoon finally seemed to relax and caught her breath.
Then she noticed everyone’s eyes on them. Only then did she realize she was completely buried in Kang Hyun’s embrace.
Seeing his arm around her waist, Yoon jumped and quickly pulled away.
“I’m sorry.”
She hurriedly apologized to Kang Hyun.
“Do you happen to have panic disorder?”
Kang Hyun grabbed her still-trembling shoulders and asked.
“Huh? No. I… just didn’t sleep well last night.”
Yoon stammered while glancing toward the entrance again. Feeling somehow sorry for her, Kang Hyun took her shaking hand.
“Why are your hands so cold?”
Unlike earlier, her hand was now ice-cold.
“They’re usually a bit cold.”
Kang Hyun’s large hand wrapped more warmly around Yoon’s small, delicate hand.
Yoon tried to pull away because people kept staring, but Kang Hyun instead pulled her closer.
“My hands are warm, so just hold on for a bit. Got it?”
When Yoon kept trying to free her hand, he blurted out whatever came to mind. Her face was drained of color and her body was shaking like a leaf—it bothered him.
‘Why is she shaking so much?’
Kang Hyun glanced around and noticed Seo Jung glaring at Yoon like wanted to kill her.
‘What’s that? Is bullying her because she’s illegitimate?’
When their eyes met, Seo Jung quickly smoothed her expression.
Meanwhile, hearing Kang Hyun say to keep holding hands, Yoon looked up at him in confusion, wondering if heard wrong.
But his expression was just as cold as when he’d told her to sign the divorce papers.
“So just stay still for a bit.”
Yet his voice somehow sounded a little warm, so Yoon could no longer pull her hand away.
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~

Maldito jefe de curso y maldito exnovio, son basuras, tratando mal a los abuelitos de Yoon, ojalá queden en vergüenza los dos. Por otro lado, pensé que Kang Hyun iba a tardar más en llegar, que bueno que no alargaron tanto el drama. Finalmente, sospecho que la madrastra de Kang Hyun estuvo detrás de esto.
