Sometimes, on days when schedules don’t align, commuting alone might feel awkward and strange, but how about him?
“It might be uncomfortable, but there’s nothing I can do.”
Certainly, he clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. It’s not just being cold; his position as the successor of the Yeonchang Group also plays a role.
“But still, try to coordinate your commute with Deputy Jeong as much as possible.”
Better to keep looking at the phone. Instead of documents, when she looked at Haejin, embarrassment surged, and her face flushed.
Snap, just like the gaze with which we kissed.
“Since we’re talking about it, why not leave work together today?”
He shook his head subtly so that he wouldn’t notice. The one unable to distinguish between public and private was herself.
The recurring hot thoughts were a big problem, she exclaimed.
**
Haejin pressed the 28th floor, where the sales department was, but Taehong stood behind her and pressed the 45th floor above her head.
When Haejin turned her body on an unexpected floor, she realized that he was standing right behind her. His outstretched hand above her head rested on her forehead.
“If I press it, will it shrink?”
His words were faster than the question of why he said such a thing.
“Jung Haejin is too visible.”
Haejin wasn’t short. If she wore heels, she was easy to find anywhere. So, she agreed with the comment that she looked good.
“While passing through the lobby, every time someone else’s gaze follows Deputy Jeong’s steps, I want to make it smaller.”
As if to emphasize that it wasn’t an empty talk, the hand on her forehead pressed down again. But, it’s not like she’ll shrink because of that.
“Why are you going to the 45th floor?”
“I’m going to the chairman’s office.”
Haejin alternately looked at the button marked 45th and Taehong.
“Why?”
“Let’s go see the chairman.”
She couldn’t hide the bewildered look. She had known that she couldn’t escape the gaze looking down. Fortunately, the only two of them were in the elevator.
“Is there something bothering you?”
“No.”
Embarrassed Haejin took a step back. Only now did she notice Taehong’s appearance clearly.
“I’m sorry. I think I reacted too sensitively to the chairman’s story without realizing it.”
The elevator arrived at the 28th floor. Only Haejin got off. Taehong was still inside the elevator.
“Take care.”
Between the open elevator doors, Haejin bowed her head. Taehong raised his hand once, then lowered it and pressed the close button.
The doors closed, and Taehong disappeared from Haejin’s view. The elevator that carried him went up quickly. The scent of Haejin still lingered inside the elevator.
He was tall, but compared to her height, he was small. To her, he was cute, but to others, he was the object of attention.
While commuting together, she witnessed it several times. Whenever male employees looked at him admiringly, a slightly unpleasant feeling bubbled up inside her.
Although there was no chance of him shrinking by pressing her head, the emotion associated with the thought was unpleasant.
Lately, she had experienced several times her emotions getting mixed up with his emotions. Especially, when she suggested commuting together, just thinking about that time made her burst into laughter.
She liked the step she showed, and she liked the expression that didn’t hide. It was hard to pretend not to notice her efforts not to reveal embarrassment. But she didn’t want to burden her gradually approaching, even if it was a little.
Of course, going up to the chairman’s office now was also a means to relieve her burden. One by one, she wanted to lighten it. She hoped for speed in her walking steps.
The 45th floor.
It indicated that the timing of the end of her thoughts had arrived. The laughter that naturally flowed out when thinking of her disappeared from his face with the opening door. Now was the moment to hide her thoughts.
Walking down the quiet corridor, the destination became visible. It was a place that didn’t look particularly inviting, and it was not a place that gave such thoughts.
“Have you come?”
As Taehong had mentioned in advance, Secretary Choi quickly came out to greet him and Taehong.
“Is the chairman inside?”
Knowing that they were not on intimate terms, Secretary Choi opened the door to the chairman’s office with a short answer, “Yes.” Taehong, who was standing behind, nodded briefly to Secretary Choi and entered the chairman’s office.
Juntae remained unchanged. His hair style was flawless, and there was not a single wrinkle on his clothes.
“Come in.”
Juntae was already sitting on the sofa in the reception room. Seeing that there was no steam rising from the teacup placed in front of him, it seemed that some time had passed.
The object that Taehong needed to temporarily hide in his mind was recalled just by looking at the teacup.
Next time, should he let the barley tea cool a bit before pouring it? The thermos he had at that time looked a bit big; maybe he should buy a smaller size.
The images of Haejin happily eating and holding the thermos close to her chest passed through Taehong’s mind one after another.
There is no way to hide it.
With a smirk, Taehong sat across from Juntae.
“Is there something good happening?”
It was his son, who hadn’t shown a smile in front of him for a long time, so the current appearance was quite unfamiliar to Juntae.
There was something good happening, but the person he least wanted to find out was right in front of him.
“No.”
However, Taehong answered sharply as if there was nothing happening and kept a poker face.
“Okay, what’s the reason for calling me?”
The awkward atmosphere between the wealthy father and son seemed to make even the air tense. Juntae, who brought up the main topic first, adjusted his jacket, pulling it slightly forward to regain composure.
Shall we get to the point? His lips loosened a bit.
“Deputy Jeong, stop cutting the parachute cord, will you?”
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:
