Yeong-in sat dazedly for a long time after Seong-hyuk left, then finally stood up. She tried to organize her jumbled thoughts, but only concluded that it was impossible.
Her steps were heavy as she walked across the hotel lobby, leaving the café. The brilliant chandelier, mimicking falling stars, and the unique paintings and sculptures didn’t catch her eye at all.
Returning home as if possessed, Yeong-in was about to take off her heels when she paused and looked at herself in the hallway mirror.
“Disappointed it wasn’t the person you were expecting?”
His sharp voice echoed in her ears.
Indeed, she couldn’t deny it. Even to her own eyes, it looked like she had dressed up for a blind date.
There was no desire to impress Oh Chang-geun, yet it felt a bit unfair to be misunderstood.
Then she wondered, would Seong-hyuk have cared if her blind date wasn’t Oh Chang-geun?
“The woman who rejected me marrying that kind of guy? I couldn’t stand it. It would make me feel too insignificant.”
Even if he thought that way, she couldn’t possibly consider his pride and dignity when choosing a marriage partner.
Detaching from the mirror, Yeong-in removed her heels and slipped on her house shoes.
She stopped abruptly upon reaching the living room, finding someone there she assumed would be out.
“You’re home?”
Arim, engrossed in a phone game and lounging on the sofa with a face mask, turned her head. Her appearance was somewhat eerie.
“Why are you back so early? Didn’t you have dinner?”
“Yeah.”
“What did you decide?”
“About what?”
Arim frowned deeply.
“What else? Did you agree to get married?”
Yeong-in couldn’t retort back. Perhaps it was because she had just met someone even more impulsive.
“We’re getting married.”
That could barely qualify as a proposal.
“Really? You agreed?”
Arim’s eyes sparkled as she bounced excitedly.
“Should I? Is it okay?”
A half-mocking smile flickered across Yeong-in’s lips and faded.
“Why ask? Of course, it’s okay. You two are perfect for each other. Don’t mind us, go ahead. Who cares about the order in this day and age, it’s so old-fashioned.”
Arim’s encouragement was based solely on the conviction that whoever Yeong-in ended up with couldn’t be worse than Oh Chang-geun. She couldn’t stand the thought of Yeong-in meeting a better man than her.
“I’m going upstairs.”
Arim almost shouted for a clear answer, then changed her mind.
She was encouraged that Yeong-in, who knew Oh Chang-geun’s true nature as well as she did, showed this much reaction. Yet, she was puzzled.
‘Why doesn’t she seem totally against it?’
As Yeong-in went upstairs, Arim’s suspicious gaze followed her.
‘Does Oh Chang-geun have some unexpected charm?’
She couldn’t imagine who Yeong-in’s blind date was.
The next night, Seong-hyuk found himself back at the club where he had reunited with Yeong-in. It was the same room as last time.
As soon as he entered, Beom-jun’s voice greeted him.
“The guest of honor has arrived!”
Seong-hyuk looked disapprovingly at Beom-jun, who hurried over.
“Why so late?”
“I almost didn’t come. Another welcoming party? What a fuss.”
Seong-hyuk’s grim expression was due to these welcome parties being held against his will.
This was already the third one.
Unlike Beom-jun, who was crazy about partying, Seong-hyuk didn’t enjoy nightlife, especially not when it involved a crowd.
“We have to let everyone know that Cha Seong-hyuk is back.”
“Just an excuse to drink,” Seong-hyuk remarked.
Ignoring Seong-hyuk’s comment, Beom-jun pulled him to the empty main seat.
“Here, have a drink first.”
Seong-hyuk responded dryly to his friends’ greetings while accepting the drink Beom-jun poured for him.
It was then that a slurred voice cut through.
“Hey, Cha Seong-hyuk…”
Turning his head, Seong-hyuk saw Chang-geun, his face blurry with drunkenness. His thin lips parted irritably.
“How was the blind date?”
Seong-hyuk twisted his lips into a smirk.
“Yeah.”
He wasn’t there just because of Beom-jun’s insistence. He was more curious about Chang-geun’s reaction.
Looking at Chang-geun, who usually didn’t engage in such antics, Seong-hyuk guessed he was quite disappointed. Of course, he felt no sympathy. He just hoped Chang-geun wouldn’t provoke him further. However, his hope was in vain.
“Laughable. You were rejected.”
Chang-geun sneered, causing Seong-hyuk’s brow to furrow.
“Rejected?”
“Jin Yeosa or whatever, that matchmaker lady said the girl’s side wasn’t keen. That’s like Yeong-in rejecting you, right?”
Confused, Beom-jun, who usually found it hard to even speak to Seong-hyuk, interjected.
“What do you mean? Yeong-in rejected by him?”
“I worked hard to set up the blind date for Yeong-in, and this jerk Cha Seong-hyuk stole it!” Chang-geun exploded with anger, regretting his failure to refuse firmly.
“What? You mean Seong-hyuk was Yeong-in’s date yesterday, not you?”
Beom-jun looked at Seong-hyuk, puzzled.
“Why did you?”
Seong-hyuk retorted.
“Why are you just watching some jerk flirt with your sister?”
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.
