Yeonwoo had been lying down, ill for several days. Not eating anything, not even sleeping, just blinking her eyes lethargically.
“Why on earth…”
On the third day, Junhwi, seeing Yeonwoo growing increasingly listless, opened his mouth first.
“You should eat, Yeonwoo.”
He swallowed the question he wanted to ask about why she was torturing herself like this and why she wasn’t making an effort to forget and move forward. In that moment, what his wife needed wasn’t criticism but affection and comfort.
“How can I eat? It’s because of me.”
“What are you talking about?”
Yeonwoo, who had sat up in bed after three days, choked on her words with a voice that was hoarse.
“Because of me······ Because of me, our baby went wrong, how could I······ What right do I have!”
The sniffles turned into loud sobs.
Yeonwoo cried like a wild animal, painfully. She wailed, beating her chest, shouting out the words she had kept inside.
“I didn’t even know I was pregnant, always drinking coffee.”
“······It’s not your fault, Yeonwoo. Stop it.”
“I didn’t know there was a baby, I had just gotten a promotion, so I worked overtime, ate a lot of instant noodles, all because of me······!”
Sitting on the bed, Junhwi pulled Yeonwoo close without a word. The wailing sounds faded into stifled sobs in his embrace.
“It’s not like that, you know it too. Kim Yeonwoo. Look, what did the doctor say?”
“Sob, but it’s because of me! Sob······!”
“Pity, but it’s a common thing. Don’t blame yourself.”
“······.”
So it’s not your fault.
Whispering gently as he patted Yeonwoo’s thin back, Junhwi comforted her.
Yeonwoo, in Junhwi’s embrace, cried all night.
Crying, falling asleep, waking up again, crying while suppressing the sorrow that had only accumulated and pressed down.
Since that day, Yeonwoo gradually, little by little, filled the emptiness in her heart with Junhwi’s care, letting go of all the self-blame.
Recalling the terrible nightmare from just two months ago, Yeonwoo shuddered. But thanks to Junhwi holding onto her tightly, the shock and sadness had become much dimmer than at the beginning. To think that she could even reminisce like this.
“Oh, wait. I have to take that in the morning.”
As if something occurred to her, Yeonwoo rushed into the resort from the poolside table. When she returned, she held a packet of herbal medicine in her hand.
“What’s that?”
“My grandfather gave it to me. Ugh, it must be so bitter!”
Yeonwoo poured the dark brown liquid from the pouch into a glass and stabbed a piece of mango with a fork.
“What kind of medicine is it?”
“Well, who knows? Just a healthy tonic for the body, maybe?”
Suddenly sending herbal medicine to her daughter-in-law. Junhwi was curious about the intentions of his grandfather-in-law, Han Jung-ho, the chairman. Junhwi’s suspicious gaze sharpened.
“Well, then, I can take it too.”
Junhwi pretended to snatch the cup from Yeonwoo’s hand.
“No, you can’t! It warms the uterus······!”
Oops. Seeing the annoyed Junhwi, Yeonwoo pressed her lips tightly.
“Lawyer, don’t misunderstand, okay?”
“Misunderstand what?”
“Grandfather just gave it to me out of concern.”
“Making herbal medicine for someone who hasn’t fully recovered, is there no intention to pressure her to get pregnant again quickly? Is that what he wants you to believe?”
Of course, Yeonwoo was not oblivious to Chairman Han’s subtle intentions. Yeonwoo rolled her eyes awkwardly, feeling uneasy.
“Don’t accept this kind of thing. I’ll tell him.”
“No, don’t bother saying that. I’ll just accept it. Grandfather was genuinely worried about my health!”
Despite Yeonwoo’s active protest, Junhwi remained silent, pressing his temples and lost in thought.
Afraid that Junhwi might rush to confront Chairman Han and ignite a conflict, Yeonwoo hastily explained.
“What do you think, Yeonwoo?”
But after a long silence, Junhwi, lips finally moving, unexpectedly asked.
“Would you like to have a baby?”
“Um······.”
Even before experiencing the pain of a miscarriage, they, as a couple, had never specifically discussed plans for having a child.
Yeonwoo hesitated for a moment. When she did, Junhwi slowly continued.
“Well, I don’t know. I still think we’re a complete family with just the two of us. I’ve never heard the most important opinion, my wife’s.”
Indeed, they say men change 180 degrees after marriage.
The man who was so selfish and seemingly indifferent during their dating days, after marriage, had changed like this.
Even in this serious atmosphere, Yeonwoo felt a sense of pride.
“I’m happy now, too, of course. It’s enough for just the two of us. It’s good. It’s fine······.”
Still, she wondered what it would feel like to have a child who resembled him. Yeonwoo just smiled inwardly, suppressing the thought.
“Do you want a baby?”
“······I thought you didn’t like kids, Lawyer.”
Feeling awkward, Yeonwoo toyed with the moisture on the surface of her coffee cup.
“Then, you shouldn’t be drinking this kind of thing even more.”
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.
