Sung-Hyuk knocked and entered the study.
The entire walls around the large desk, which faced away from the huge window, were densely packed with books, leaving no space unfilled. It reflected the taste of the study’s owner, a voracious reader.
Like father, like son, Sung-Hyuk also loved books, to the point where he once suspected himself of being addicted to reading.
His reading habit diminished when his addiction shifted to something, or rather, someone else. Chae Young-In was more interesting than any book.
He bowed slightly to the man with a dignified presence and piercing eyes.
“I’m here, father.”
Chairman Cha, sitting at his mahogany desk, stood up, taking off his silver-framed glasses.
“Sit down.”
The father and son sat on the black leather sofas.
“How’s work?”
Mrs. Han had called Sung-Hyuk the previous evening to relay that Chairman Cha wanted him to come home.
“I’m getting a handle on it.”
“No regrets?”
“No, none.”
Chairman Cha was strict about rewards and punishments. He had intended to give the position of Head of Management Planning, held by his eldest son, Myung-Gyu, to Sung-Hyuk, his second son.
This was to hold Myung-Gyu accountable for his failure in acquiring a mixed-use development site and to commend Sung-Hyuk for successfully acquiring promising startups while at SL Automobile’s U.S. branch.
However, Sung-Hyuk suddenly chose SL Entertainment over the Management Planning Division. When asked why, he simply replied his heart had changed.
Chairman Cha allowed this, wondering if it was to avoid conflict with his elder brother or for some other reason. He also recalled the day, three years ago, when Sung-Hyuk abruptly left for the U.S.
Having achieved significant success abroad, there was a certain anticipation to see what he would do this time.
“We’ll see what kind of results you bring.”
There was a certain pleasure in watching the unpredictable moves of his son.
“You won’t be disappointed.”
Sung-Hyuk was determined to achieve remarkable results.
Apart from his competitive spirit, he also didn’t want to be mocked for merely following a woman if his true intentions were revealed someday.
Especially if it affected Young-In.
He didn’t want Young-In to be disliked by his parents for no fault of her own.
Having shared his honest opinion on investment strategies to dominate the future mobility market, Sung-Hyuk left the study feeling proud and fulfilled. His last three years in the auto industry hadn’t been in vain.
He was curious how aggressively his father would invest in companies with innovative technologies despite the challenges in immediate profitability.
As he closed the study door, he paused momentarily seeing Yeon-Hong, his younger sister, standing there.
Yeon-Hong, the youngest daughter of Chairman Cha and Sung-Hyuk’s sister, was twenty-two this year. She was ten years younger than her oldest brother and eight years younger than Sung-Hyuk. Though a bit whimsical and brazen, she was adored by the entire family for her cuteness.
It was almost a month since Sung-Hyuk returned to Korea, and this was their first meeting.
“What’s this? Coming empty-handed?”
Sung-Hyuk looked at his sister, who was scrutinizing his hands, and replied in a dry tone.
“What should I be carrying?”
“My present.”
He turned away, dismissing her expectation. Yeon-Hong quickly followed him.
“Brother, notice anything different about me?”
He stopped at the end of the hallway and turned to her with an unequivocal response.
“You’ve gained weight.”
Yeon-Hong rolled her eyes, looking displeased.
“Not at all.”
“Then what?”
“I cut my hair short! It’s the first time I’ve gone this short!”
Sung-Hyuk stepped back as Yeon-Hong thrust her C-curl bobbed hair towards him.
He was an indifferent brother, immediately noticing the hair length of an ex-girlfriend he bumped into after three years, yet unable to recall whether his sister’s hair was long or short six months ago when she visited the U.S. His attentiveness wasn’t universally applied.
“I got it, so back off.”
“What!”
“That thing you’re waving around.”
“Hmph!”
A loud snort followed, then a grumpy male voice echoed down the hallway.
“Why does she have such a big mouth?”
Turning around, Sung-Hyuk saw a slightly built man with a clear ‘M’ shaped hairline, and a graceful woman with a neat 5:5 parting, her hair tied back.
They were his brother Myung-Gyu and sister-in-law Jung-Hye.
Unlike the slender and soft-featured Myung-Gyu, who resembled their mother, Sung-Hyuk took after their father with distinct features and a robust build. Yeon-Hong also resembled their father.
“Who knows.”
Sung-Hyuk shrugged noncommittally as Yeon-Hong stomped off, pouting.
Jung-Hye stepped forward, politely greeting Sung-Hyuk.
“Welcome, young master.”
“Yes, sister-in-law.”
Barely had the formalities ended when Myung-Gyu twisted his lips in a sardonic smile.
“Am I a joke to you? Is that why you didn’t contact me for nearly a month after you came back?”
Sung-Hyuk coolly replied.
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.
