Line returned home half-dazed. Juhyuk was already there, and on the dining table, there was chicken and the beer Line liked.
Juhyuk, sitting on the sofa, greeted her with half-open eyes, seemingly having dozed off. Seeing Line in her work clothes, he fully opened his eyes.
“Where did you go? You said you’d be nearby.”
“I had something to do. I had to meet someone.”
The lie she came up with during her journey back was simply that she had met someone.
“Senior, I realized I haven’t eaten anything all day.”
Changing the subject, Line took off her coat, quickly washed her hands, and sat at the dining table. She immediately opened a can of beer.
“The chicken must be cold by now.”
“It’s fine.”
“You eat so little. It would have been so much better if you could enjoy it warm and delicious.”
Juhyuk placed a plump chicken leg in front of her.
“Senior.”
Line looked at him seriously, as if she had something important to say.
“Yes, talk to me.”
“Am I ill-mannered?”
Surprised by the sudden question, Juhyuk tilted his head.
“Why do you ask?”
“No, I was just wondering if it shows that I grew up without parents. Am I rude?”
She could only ask Juhyuk this question. Juhyuk frowned deeply at her inquiry.
“Who said such a thing?”
“No one said it directly… If they did, I would have ignored them.”
“No, you’re not ill-mannered. You’re polite and know your boundaries. As long as you don’t harm others, who can say such a thing?”
Line nodded absently.
Juhyuk, seeing Line’s dispirited state, worried about what she had been up to lately. She wouldn’t be going from law office to law office…
“I didn’t realize it while at the prosecution office, but I think I might be a bit stingy in conversation.”
Hearing Line speak dishearteningly, Juhyuk displayed a disbelieving expression.
“Suddenly feeling this way? Who in our organization isn’t stingy in conversation?”
He wholeheartedly supported her.
“What exactly have you been doing lately? Where are you going to hear such things?”
Line responded by lifting her beer can.
“Really, you’re not going to talk? You want to disappoint me?”
“Senior, I’m just reflecting on myself while preparing for my reinstatement lawsuit. Don’t worry too much.”
Juhyuk decided not to probe further and simply trusted her words. They had a brief beer and chicken session and then he went home.
Line quickly changed and headed back to the office. The thought of unfinished work made it unlikely she’d be able to sleep. She arrived at the office and opened the web files shared by lawyer Cha Haein. Filled with Tae Sung Legal Office’s tricks, she couldn’t help but frown.
Among these, a photo of Song Kang caught her eye. It was from his military days. He served in the honor guard with his tall stature and had been honorably discharged – a rare background for a chaebol.
The picture conveyed his pursuit of proper etiquette and a righteous life, not just in words but in practice. His exemplary way of life pricked her conscience.
It was past 3 a.m., and her eyelids grew heavy. Around 4 a.m., she dozed off at the desk.
As dawn broke and cars began to chart new paths on the roads of the city, the sound of the keypad being pressed was heard. Song Kang entered the office.
Unaware of Line asleep behind the stack of documents, Song Kang strode towards the window. It was only when he reached the desk that he noticed her and stopped short.
Yesterday, I definitely dropped her off at her house, so why is she sleeping here… As Song Kang approached Line, she coughed abruptly.
He turned his gaze to the indoor environment monitoring system. It was dry and the temperature was low. None of the devices – the air purifier, heater, or humidifier – had been turned on, a predictable situation.
Song Kang set all the systems to run automatically using artificial intelligence. He then gently draped his coat over Line’s shoulders.
His gaze shifted to the documents spread across the desk and then to the monitor. Seeing his own military service photo on the screen made his face flush. What was the legal office even doing?
The warmth from his coat transferred to Line, waking her up. She looked around and saw Song Kang staring at the monitor.
“Song…”
Line almost spoke before thinking, catching herself just in time, and turned her gaze to the monitor.
“Oh!”
She quickly moved the mouse to close the photo and then looked back at Song Kang.
“This is the material prepared by Tae Sung. You know, right?”
“Do you have this kind of taste?”
“What do you mean…?”
“Uniform?”
Line’s flustered reaction was enough to raise suspicion.
“I respect you.”
Line bowed her head, sighing deeply. She hadn’t expected him to visit the office at this hour, let alone leave his photo open on the screen.
“What brings you here at this time?”
“This is my office too. By the way, did Prosecutor Jin Line spend the night here?”
“Yes, I guess so.”
When Line’s response ended with a cough, Song Kang grew inwardly concerned.
“It will warm up soon. Didn’t you know how to turn on the heater?”
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:
