Postponing Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
The voice saying “let’s divorce” was so clear that it couldn’t be misheard.
Hearing those unexpected words, Jae Oh froze in that instant froze completely and couldn’t even blink.
Divorce? What kind of nonsense is this, like knocking on a window in one’s sleep?
For a moment, unable to grasp the situation, he moved his stiff eyes to look at Chae Yoon.
The voice that had said “divorce” was clear as if she was in her right mind, but right now Chae Yoon was so drunk she could barely walk properly. Her eyes that looked like they would fall asleep any second were proof of that.
That’s why the eyes looking at me seemed like they would fall asleep at any moment.
That’s how drunk Chae Yoon was.
Jae Oh simply dismissed Chae Yoon’s words about divorce as nonsense said under the influence of alcohol.
“Stop saying useless things and just tell me if you can walk on your own or not.”
At Jae Oh’s words, Chae Yoon smiled brightly again.
Jae Oh’s brow furrowed lightly as he looked at Chae Yoon smiling cheerfully at him.
Why does she smile like that every time I say something? It only makes my already troubled heart even more troubled.
His heart beating to a strange rhythm, his mind confused after hearing the word “divorce.”
Feeling strongly that he shouldn’t let himself be swayed any further by Chae Yoon in this situation, Jae Oh spoke in a firm voice.
“Can you walk or not.”
His voice, lowered by a tone, was heavy.
Then Chae Yoon, who had been smiling with drowsy eyes, finally moved her lips.
“I can… go on my own.”
Chae Yoon spoke as if making a firm resolution and moved her feet.
The step she took with a rather solemn expression didn’t last long in momentum.
“Huh?”
Seeing Chae Yoon stumble after barely taking two steps, Jae Oh let out a sigh as if he had expected it, then suddenly picked her up in his arms.
Feeling her body lift into the air, Chae Yoon widened her eyes and looked at Jae Oh.
“Why……”
At the gaze that seemed to ask why he had picked her up, Jae Oh answered on his own.
“You can’t even walk properly.”
“No, I can go on my own.”
“……”
“I told you I can go on my own……”
Even though she said it twice, when no response came from Jae Oh, a faint trace of irritation appeared on her moderately flushed face from the alcohol.
Her face crumpled because she didn’t like the current situation, her eyes hazy from the alcohol, her small lips moving as she grumbled.
Was it because he was seeing all of this for the first time?
Jae Oh couldn’t take his eyes off Chae Yoon, who was pouting in his arms.
Meanwhile, Chae Yoon, bewildered that Jae Oh who had picked her up wasn’t doing anything in particular, looked up at him.
Their eyes met perfectly.
If she hadn’t been drunk, it was a distance where she wouldn’t have been able to look straight at him. Moreover, perhaps because it was mixed with darkness, the intensity of his gaze felt unusually deep, but to the drunk Chae Yoon, none of this was visible.
“Put me down.”
So when she asked to be put down again, Jae Oh withdrew his gaze fixed on Chae Yoon and started walking.
It was a choice made because the words of a woman who was about to fall after taking just two steps weren’t even worth responding to, but Chae Yoon, taking that as being ignored, furrowed her brow and said.
“Oppa.”
” (brother/husband)
“……”
“I can go on my……”
“Either you think about sleeping in the garden like this, or stop there.”
No matter what Chae Yoon said, Jae Oh, who had no intention of putting her down, cut off her words sharply.
While doing so, he thought to himself.
That even if he said this, Chae Yoon’s stubbornness wouldn’t break.
However, contrary to his expectation, no answer came back.
Moreover, it was strange how suddenly quiet it became, so he lowered his gaze to check on Chae Yoon’s condition.
“What, you’re sleeping?”
The face that had fallen asleep in that short time was peaceful.
How long had it been since she asked to be put down that she fell asleep right away?
“Your drunken habits are really something.”
Though he said that, seeing her asleep in his arms brought a sense of stability along with a strange feeling of relief.
It was the stability that Chae Yoon belonged right here by his side.
[Shall we get divorced?]And the relief that those words were probably just one of her many drunken antics.
So he even rationalized to himself that he didn’t need to attach any meaning to it, but the saying “truth comes out when drunk” put a brake on his thoughts.
‘If the words about divorce were sincere……’
As soon as he made that assumption, his handsome face crumpled severely.
The sense of stability he had felt just moments ago evaporated, and an inexplicable anxiety welled up.
He didn’t know why he was feeling this way, but one thing was certain.
That he had never once thought about divorcing Chae Yoon.
And that he didn’t like hearing such words come from Chae Yoon’s mouth.
His eyes looking at Chae Yoon in his arms darkened deeply.
The eyes that had been quietly closed, showing off long eyelashes, suddenly snapped open.
Seeing the white ceiling filling her vision, Chae Yoon sat up abruptly.
Blinking her dry eyes and looking around, fortunately, this was her own room.
Judging by the fact that she hadn’t removed her makeup or changed clothes, it seemed she had collapsed as soon as she got home, but how on earth had she gotten back?
Chae Yoon clutched her throbbing head and tried to recall yesterday’s events.
‘I drank with Eun Ha unnie and Assistant Manager Lim, then unnie drove me home in Assistant Manager Lim’s car…… and after that……’
As Chae Yoon tried to recall, her face gradually turned pale.
[How much did I drink?]It was because she remembered meeting Jae Oh.
‘What? Why did Jae Oh oppa suddenly appear?’
She remembered encountering him in front of the house, but everything after that was blurry.
Worried about what she might have said in the fragmented memories that came to mind, Chae Yoon anxiously moved her eyes to check Jae Oh’s bed.
“Phew…… he’s not here.”
Fortunately, Jae Oh wasn’t there.
Feeling grateful in this moment that Jae Oh wasn’t present, Chae Yoon patted her anxious chest and checked the time.
The current time was 6:30 a.m.
It was early, but knowing Han Jae Oh could leave the house even at this hour, Chae Yoon was certain he had gone to work and headed to the bathroom while trying hard to piece together yesterday’s fragmented memories.
While absentmindedly unbuttoning her blouse one by one, suddenly a click sound was heard.
‘What was that?’
At the sound of someone nearby, Chae Yoon’s head reflexively turned.
The person coming out of the bathroom amid the humid steam was, of course, Jae Oh.
Meeting his eyes directly, Chae Yoon froze on the spot.
“……”
A short silence passed.
His hair damp with moisture, the trail of water droplets flowing down from there.
Chae Yoon’s eyes, blankly following that trail downward, suddenly widened in shock.
“Kyaaah!”
She didn’t even have time to care about her open blouse.
Turning her body swiftly, Chae Yoon blinked in stunned surprise.
Wondering what on earth she had just seen.
‘No, why did he come out like that?’
Whenever she heard the sound of water in the bathroom, he would usually use the bathroom in another room or avoid it, so they had almost never run into each other, and even if they did, he always came out wearing a bathrobe after showering. Not like now, with his upper body completely exposed.
“Phew……”
Last time it was his back, this time an even clearer view of his muscular upper body—the surprised breath escaped faintly through Chae Yoon’s lips.
While Chae Yoon couldn’t calm her wildly beating heart, Jae Oh glanced once at the round back of her head turned toward him in surprise, then walked to the powder room.
Hearing his footsteps, her dazed mind snapped back and she regained her senses.
Only then did Chae Yoon close her blouse and glance at him sideways.
Unlike her whose heart was pounding crazily from this first-time situation, the man was perfectly calm.
Moreover, the shaded muscles of his back under the light, and the water droplets running between them, were quite sensual.
‘Oh my, what am I thinking.’
Was the alcohol still not out of her system?
Otherwise, why would she think about wanting to touch that back?
Thinking her mind had gone crazy, Chae Yoon hurriedly entered the bathroom.
“Ah……”
It was a place she had avoided to not think about Jae Oh, yet the bathroom was filled with the scent of his body wash.
Han Jae Oh’s scent. It wasn’t a fragrance she was smelling for the first time, but why did it feel so stimulating today?
Thump thump, her fiercely beating heart showed no signs of calming down.
“Whew, calm down, Song Chae Yoon.”
Chae Yoon took deep breaths trying to calm her wildly beating heart.
20 minutes later.
Chae Yoon finished her shower, desperately trying to ignore Han Jae Oh—or rather, his back—that filled her mind.
Washing her sticky body clean made her feel refreshed, and her mood lightened considerably.
However, because the memories from yesterday still hadn’t fully returned, the uneasiness in her mind remained, so Chae Yoon let out a small sigh and left the bathroom.
After skincare, drying her hair, changing clothes in the dressing room, Chae Yoon headed downstairs to the first floor.
Her feet descending the stairs stopped.
It was because of Jae Oh sitting on the living room sofa.
‘What, he hasn’t left yet?’
Seeing the person she had naturally assumed would be gone, her stiff eyes met Jae Oh’s gaze.
Upon spotting Chae Yoon, Jae Oh set down the teacup he was holding.
Clink.
At the sound of the teacup touching the saucer, Chae Yoon’s blankly frozen eyes moved.
Why hadn’t this man gone to work? Why was the atmosphere so unlike usual today, and could it possibly be related to yesterday?—because of such thoughts, anxiety began to spread in her large eyes.
“Why haven’t you… gone to work yet?”
A voice reflecting her nervousness flowed from her full lips.
Then Jae Oh stood up from his seat.
Seeing him approach silently, the memory from yesterday suddenly surfaced.
[Shall we get divorced?]Finally, with the memory becoming clear, Chae Yoon’s eyes widened in horror.
‘No way.’
It was something she had intended to say while sober. She had been waiting for the right moment to say it, but her mouth wouldn’t open, and yet she had said it while drunk.
‘I’m really crazy.’
Though she blamed herself, it was already done, so Chae Yoon stopped recalling yesterday and stared at Jae Oh approaching her.
Thanks to the now-clear memory, Chae Yoon understood why Jae Oh hadn’t gone to work and was still here.
‘To ask what I meant by saying divorce yesterday.’
Intuitively sensing that the time had come to finally tell Jae Oh about the divorce, Chae Yoon did not avoid his approaching gaze.
Jae Oh, having walked right up to her, scanned Chae Yoon’s face once with his eyes and then spoke.
“I have something to say, so eat breakfast first.”
Chae Yoon nodded.
At Chae Yoon’s agreement, Jae Oh turned toward the dining room, but Chae Yoon did not.
Noticing that Chae Yoon wasn’t following, Jae Oh’s eyes turned to her heading upstairs.
“I said let’s eat, where are you going.”
“Ah, just getting something real quick. Go ahead first. I’ll be right there.”
Smiling awkwardly as she answered, Chae Yoon went to the second-floor room, retrieved the divorce papers, and came back down.
In the dining room where she arrived one step behind Jae Oh, cool soybean sprout soup was prepared.
She wanted to soothe her upset stomach with that refreshing broth right away, but anticipating the conversation they were about to have made her throat feel so blocked that even water seemed like it wouldn’t go down.
Staring quietly at the soybean sprout soup, Chae Yoon asked the helper nearby.
“Where’s Grandfather?”
“He said he had business in the provinces today and left earlier.”
She had planned to tell Jae Oh first and Ji Pil later, so it was actually good that he wasn’t home.
Thinking it fortunate that Ji Pil wasn’t there, Chae Yoon lightly gripped the divorce papers she was holding, then went to sit across from Jae Oh.
Seeing Chae Yoon sit, Jae Oh finally picked up his spoon.
He scooped a spoonful of glossy rice to eat, but when Chae Yoon just sat still without doing anything, he put down his spoon and asked.
“Aren’t you eating?”
Meeting Jae Oh’s eyes, instead of answering, Chae Yoon asked a different question.
“What did you want to say to me?”
There were many things he wanted to ask—like whether she had gotten a job and what was going on, what she meant by saying divorce yesterday, who she had been drinking with to get that drunk—but more than that, he was curious about what was inside the white envelope Chae Yoon had placed on the table.
“What’s that.”
Touching the envelope that had caught Jae Oh’s interest, Chae Yoon pushed it straight toward him.
At the gaze telling him to check it, Jae Oh opened the envelope and looked inside.
「Divorce Registration Form」
His sharp eyes crumpled mercilessly.
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.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~

“Alright. Then I’ll wait until you’ve sorted things out. Just contact me once yo
He’s so selfish. There’s no desire to understand why she’s discontent or genuinely have a relationship with her. He just wants to be indifferent again
