What is he saying? Tae-hong seemed to be writing his own narrative, trying to extract something from Haegin’s eyes.
“If I’m not a private investigator, then definitely not here for undercover employment.”
Haegin finally spoke, compelled to clarify before the speculation spiraled into a greater misunderstanding.
“So, you’re not in an unspeakable relationship with the chairman?”
Haegin had to stop this wild imagination from taking flight in all the wrong directions.
“You mentioned I’m a parachute hire, and I won’t deny it.”
At Haegin’s unexpected confession, Tae-hong seemed to slightly lower his guard of suspicion.
Maybe honesty is the answer.
Feeling he had grasped which direction to take, Haegin started to speak more freely.
“Some sort of deal, yes. There was a deal.”
Suspicion faded from Tae-hong’s face, replaced by slowly growing curiosity. Haegin spoke with determination.
It was time to make clear what the deal was.
“It’s exactly what the chairman asked of me.”
You better listen carefully. I’ll only say this once.
Haegin took a deep breath. Though his face appeared delicate, his resolve was firm. The slightly upturned corners of his mouth were enough to ease the other party, but inside, he was still the versatile assistant, Jeong Haegin.
“We have a rugby ball in our company, and I was asked to take care of marking it.”
Without a trace of humor, Haegin perfectly imitated Joon-tae’s voice, relaying the message without missing a beat.
In this brief encounter with Tae-hong, Haegin discerned something. Honesty and factual stories worked better on him than falsehoods and feeble excuses.
Tae-hong’s brows furrowed as he heard Haegin’s unexpected imitation of Joon-tae. His crossed legs unfolded, and his body, which had been reclining deeply in the chair, leaned forward.
“Rugby ball and dedicated marking.”
Tae-hong’s hand went to his forehead, smoothing out the deep wrinkle. His fingers eventually pressed against his temple.
“The chairman knows me too well. But why appoint a woman, not a man, for dedicated marking?”
There was a slight edge to Tae-hong’s voice, perhaps tinged with mockery. Or was it just Haegin’s imagination?
Haegin remained silent, needing time to discern Tae-hong’s strategy. The spacious room felt heavy with tension again.
The difference now was that they faced each other, eyes locked, instead of just looking in one direction.
It was more uncomfortable, yet there was no space or opportunity to escape. Haegin clasped his hands together on his lap, feeling the tension to the point of sweating.
Whether it was the heat from the tea or the intensity of the gaze upon him, he wasn’t sure, but the pressure of the heavy air felt scorching.
All he wanted now was for this uncomfortable meeting to end quickly.
“Do you feel confident?”
It was an awkward question. Extremely awkward.
How could he be confident? He was doing this out of necessity for survival.
“I am confident.”
Contrary to his thoughts, his voice came out more assertive than he expected. His pure and delicate face contrasted with the firmness in his voice. Cornered in a battle for survival, Haegin exhibited extraordinary patience.
“You’re confident.”
The end of Tae-hong’s sentence trailed off, his expression contorting strangely. This time, his probing gaze was more overt.
“How confident are you?”
Haegin coughed lightly and straightened his posture. Realizing his livelihood depended on this answer, he automatically sat up straight.
You need to answer well, Haegin. You’re not the Jeong Haegin of Zion anymore. There’s no turning back, and opportunities like this are rare. Who knows, this might even be a chance to reunite your family.
So, Haegin, do this right.
“I handle accidents well.”
The words ‘rugby ball’ and ‘dedicated marking’ fit well in Haegin’s mind for this situation. However, the current situation was undoubtedly an accident.
The chairman must have been concerned. With his handsome looks, tall stature, and most importantly, as the only son to inherit Yeonchang Group, he must attract many temptations from the outside.
Especially from women. Scandals due to women throwing themselves at him could be a significant risk. In this aspect, a female dedicated marker could handle and respond more flexibly.
It would avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Perhaps that’s why he was assigned to monitor Tae-hong conveniently. These were the reasons Haegin, losing sleep while controlling his mind, had come up with for his employment.
Hoping for someone experienced, not a newbie, desperately needing this job, and well-versed in the industry’s dynamics.
Haegin now realized he was at the intersection of numerous conditions.
But Tae-hong’s expression contorted again. The texture of his overt gaze twisted.
“Handling accidents.”
Contrary to the utterly serious Haegin, Tae-hong found something amusing, laughing so hard he leaned his head back. After a long laugh, Tae-hong’s laughter ceased.
It was a moment when Tae-hong’s real face was revealed, one that Haegin had never seen before. Haegin froze in place.
His narrow, fierce eyes rendered her immobile.
“Alright, Jeong Haegin.”
As if nothing had happened, Tae-hong dusted off his pants and stood up, prompting Haegin to look up as well. His expression unfolded along with his pants.
Was her life about to speed onto the highway? It was almost delusional.
And then, without realizing it, Haegin rose from her seat like a marionette following his lead.
Tae-hong, with his sleeves rolled up, extended his hand towards Haegin.
“I look forward to having you as my dedicated marker.”
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.
