The team leader’s sorrow-laden words were shocking. Cheonrang was no different from the Association. And they’re talking about cuts now?

That seemed insane. The guild would surely fail.

Suddenly, someone screamed. Someone had just destroyed a dummy used for combat power measurement.

The constant accidents only added to the already heavy workload.

Yet, my faint hope that working hard might get me a permanent position shattered.

I must escape. No matter what, I have to run away after three months.

Unaware of my thoughts, the team leader kept praising me. Her eyes seemed to sparkle as she said it’s a shame I’m leaving after three months. Must be my imagination.

While focusing on work, I heard the clear sound of birds somewhere. Team members, burnt out, started rising like zombies and moving somewhere.

“What’s happening?” I wondered when the team leader, about to leave, asked me.

“Aren’t you going, Ha Young?”

“Huh?”

“Oh, I forgot to explain. It’s lunchtime. The staff cafeteria is this way.”

Usually, a mentor would explain these things. Though I don’t even know who my mentor is. I had no choice but to follow the team leader.

The cafeteria was busy but not as crowded as I thought.

“Come this way.”

The team leader, who had already secured a spot, called me over. I joined her without hesitation, collecting my food and sitting opposite her.

The quality of the food was impressive.

Having only known the bland meals at the Association, I cautiously started eating, almost dropping my spoon in surprise.

“Wow…”

It was a flavor I had never experienced before. I’ve never had a five-star meal, but if such food exists, it might taste like this.

Seeing my expression, the team leader burst into laughter.

“Ha ha, look at that face. Everyone makes that face the first time.”

“How can such a taste even exist…”

“The chef in our cafeteria is a culinary Awakener. You know, food prepared by culinary Awakeners has buff effects. Although mass-produced food like this is lower grade, the taste is incredible.”

“Unbelievable…”

“Plus, some Gate by-products are used as ingredients. The buff effects are minimal, but they’re there, and the taste beats most restaurants. Pretty good, right?”

“Yes…!”

I was moved to tears. The thought of going home vanished. I was glad I chose Cheonrang over the Association.

Watching me for a while, the team leader lightly gestured and said.
“Want to have coffee downstairs after eating? It’s on me.”

“Yes, yes. Thank you!”

Humans are simple creatures. Just a tasty meal can uplift one’s mood to this extent.

While savoring each grain of rice, taking my time to eat, I noticed the familiar and famous face on the TV in the cafeteria.

“The notorious S-class ‘Black One Day Gate’, not even conquered by the elite party of Amwol, has been single-handedly cleared by Cheon Sin-woo, who continues to make shocking moves…”

It was a rerun of a familiar news broadcast. I glanced over and saw the world-weary, forlornly handsome man giving an interview with a gloomy voice.

“He’s really handsome…”

“Hm? Oh. Our guild leader is handsome, indeed. On lucky days, you might even run into him in the hallway.”

I couldn’t help but admire aloud, to which the team leader cheerfully responded. She then scrutinized me and added,

“You know, Ha Young, you somewhat resemble our guild leader.”

“Me?”

“Yes. Is it the eyes or the face shape? There’s a general resemblance. I was quite surprised when I first saw you.”

“That, haha.”

It was a ridiculous notion. To compare my face to such a handsome man was an insult to Cheon Sin-woo.

When I vehemently denied it, the team leader narrowed her eyes.

“Really? You don’t believe it? But it’s true.”

“Thank you for saying so.”

“Are you sure there’s nothing? You do look alike… There was some talk in our team since you’re not Awakened. Your skills are evident in your work, but, huh?”

“I’m actually related to Cheon Sin-woo.”

“What, really?!”

“Just kidding! Joking! We even have different surnames. I’m a Park!”

“Ah, got me there. Well, if it’s not true, it’s not true.”

Her voice was loud when she asked if it was true, attracting attention. It was embarrassing. They couldn’t have heard our conversation, right? When I hurriedly denied it, the team leader looked disappointed and still somewhat suspicious.

If only I were really related to Cheon Sin-woo. Then I wouldn’t have to struggle so much.

“Are you done eating? Let’s go to the cafe on the first floor; their coffee is delicious. I promised to treat you, so let’s hurry.”

“I won’t refuse then.”

After finishing our meal, we headed to a peaceful time. The team leader jokingly said I’d have to pay her back when I get my salary, but when I agreed, she panicked and stopped me.

The rest of the day went the same as before. The only difference was that I now had a self-proclaimed mentor who kindly explained things to me.

Yes, this is my life. Struggling but moving along calmly, without major incidents.

I hope every day is like today.

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 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.
