Lee Soo swallowed her sad tears alone, hoping that if she could endure for five more years, she would live again with her mother.
But even that hope had now vanished.
Shaking her head as if to shake off her thoughts, Lee Soo opened a book.
Around the time she had read through one book.
Tap, tap.
At the sound of rain tapping against the window, Lee Soo raised her head.
Was there a forecast for rain?
Lee Soo opened her phone and checked the weather.
Rain from 3 PM to 10 PM.
It’s doomed. She didn’t have an umbrella.
Since there was no one to bring an umbrella for her when it rained, she always checked the weather before going out, but today she had to rush out and didn’t have time for that.
It always seemed to rain on days like this.
She looked around, wondering if there were any familiar faces, but the library was scarce of people as it was the first weekend of the semester.
After reading the book, Lee Soo got up from her seat.
Thinking about grabbing some coffee, she found a note on the door of the cafe in the basement indicating they were closed for interior renovation.
It was a bitter weekend afternoon in many ways.
((()))((()))
In March, the spring rain poured down like a midsummer downpour.
The mercilessly falling rain seemed to swallow up the world.
With his right blinker on, Ji Ho’s car drew a curve and went into the school.
After finishing a team meeting, Ji Ho offered to drop his friend Jun Woo, who was in the same department, off in front of the school on his way home.
“You can drop me off here.”
Jun Woo, who was about to get off at the front gate, said to Ji Ho.
“You said you’re going to the library. I’m driving anyway.”
The rain was so heavy and the wind so strong that using an umbrella was practically pointless.
“Ugh, I’m touched.”
Jun Woo, with his hands clasped over his heart, responded sarcastically.
Jun Woo initially had preconceptions about Ji Ho due to his seemingly solitary appearance and the significant background he had.
However, Ji Ho was humble where he could have been arrogant, and seemed indifferent but could also be affectionate, just like now.
His outstanding abilities made him an enviable friend, and sometimes, his aura felt unapproachable.
When the car came to a halt, Jun Woo thought to himself how lucky he was to have made such a friend.
“Thanks, Ji Ho. Be careful on your way home.”
As the passenger door opened and Jun Woo got off, Ji Ho’s eyes, which had been casually observing his friend, widened a little.
Ji Ho, tilting his head over the steering wheel, looked back towards the front of the library.
Every time the wiper swept away the rain from left to right, he caught a glimpse of Lee Soo, then she disappeared, and then reappeared.
She held a mini bag that barely accommodated her mobile phone and wallet, with one hand stuffed in her pocket and the other slightly extended into the rain.
She looked perplexed. Lee Soo frowned and looked up at the distant sky, then glanced at something with an intense gaze.
Wondering what she was doing, he noticed that she didn’t have an umbrella.
He let out a low sigh.
So what?
Ji Ho turned his head forward and slowly lifted his foot from the brake.
Why did she keep catching his eye?
Surely she wasn’t going to get caught in this rain.
His car was moving forward, but Ji Ho’s gaze kept drifting back.
Through the side mirror, he saw Lee Soo blur out.
The car, which had been moving slowly, stopped again after a short distance.
((()))((()))
Standing at the edge of the library roof, Lee Soo stared hard at the student union building.
There was a convenience store and club rooms there, so she would be able to get an umbrella if she could just get there.
It was across the street, but there was a wide road in between and the distance was quite significant.
Would it take about 20 seconds if she ran?
When she slightly extended her hand into the rain, raindrops fell heavily.
She let out a deep sigh, as if the ground was caving in.
Her dad said he would come from Jeju Island on the last flight.
She had no boyfriend to call.
Just as she was about to step into the rain out of helplessness.
“Are you going to get caught in this rain?”
Instead of cold raindrops, a sweet voice soaked her ears.
At the same time, her arm, held by a firm hand, was pulled back quickly.
Startled, Lee Soo turned her head.
“Oh? You’re that…”
Lee Soo recognized him as Seo Ji Ho at a glance, but didn’t know how to address him, so she trailed off.
“… You don’t know my name?”
Looking down at Lee Soo, Ji Ho muttered to himself as if talking to himself.
She hadn’t introduced herself so it was understandable that he wouldn’t recognize her. Just as she was about to speak,
“I know.”
Yesterday, he was formal but meeting Seo Jiho today, he had naturally switched to casual speak.
Well then, me too.
“You’re Seo Jiho.”
At Lee Soo’s confident voice, Jiho lightly laughed and nodded.
“……This time, you recognized me right away.”
“Ha ha. Of course. Of course, I’d recognize you.”
Even though she was surprised, Lee Soo cheerfully replied.
Even though it was overwhelmingly confusing, she was extremely glad to see a familiar face.
It felt like she had been drifting alone in the vast ocean and had encountered a rescue ship.
“……”
At Lee Soo’s cheerful smile, Jiho was momentarily lost for words.
Was he glad to see her?
Lee Soo’s face, bright with a smile, felt refreshing and pretty like spring.
Jiho, feeling a little flustered, looked at Lee Soo and asked.
“But were you thinking of running in the rain just now?”
“Ah…… I thought there would be an umbrella in the club room. There’s also a convenience store nearby.”
“You were going to run all the way there?”
As Lee Soo slightly nodded her head, Jiho broke into a disbelieving laugh.
She was really planning to get wet in this rain.
“You’ll be soaked by the time you get there.”
“The weather forecast said it would rain till 10 pm, I don’t know anyone and I don’t have an umbrella. I have to do something.”
‘Knowing someone and an umbrella……’
While replaying Lee Soo’s words with a slight raise of his eyebrows, Jiho let out a soft chuckle.
He seemed to now understand why Lee Soo had laughed so cheerfully earlier.
For a moment, he was mistaken.
Jiho thought he should lend her an umbrella and was about to speak.
Lee Soo too, remembering something she wanted to say after meeting Jiho, opened her mouth.
“So……”
“Yesterday……”
Both of their voices overlapped before they stopped talking.
Jiho touched his neck with his hand and spoke.
“You go first. Yesterday, what?”
“……Thank you for finding my student ID.”
“Mm.”
“I was so flustered yesterday, I didn’t ask. Where did you find it?”
Now that he mentioned it, she had looked completely oblivious yesterday.
She must have been curious.
“In the plane. It fell under my feet.”
“Ah……”
Surprised, Lee Soo’s mouth slightly opened.
Remembering that day in her head, Lee Soo started speaking again.
“So, when my bag spilled……”
“I helped you pick it up.”
Jiho finished her sentence for her.
“So, you remembered just now?”
It was like all the scattered pieces of a puzzle had found their place.
She hadn’t thought about it.
That guy was Seo Jiho.
Looking at Jiho’s face with a disbelief, Lee Soo slowly moved her lips.
“……I remembered the smell that day.”
At the word ‘smell’, Jiho slightly scrunched his face.
“It was really nice.”
Lee Soo took a deep breath.
“This smell right now.”
Jiho lifted his arm and brought it to his nose.
“It’s not that strong of a smell……”
To think she remembered this.
“I smelled it for the first time. What perfume is this?”
Looking up at Jiho, Lee Soo asked.
Her brown eyes, asking the name of the perfume, sparkled with curiosity.
It was only yesterday when those eyes were filled with tears.
“Follow me. I’ll show you now.”
Under the umbrella spread wide in the rain, Jiho stepped in.
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~
