His younger sibling, who knew this, checked on Jun Hwi’s wellbeing using her profession as a doctor, and sometimes even scolded him instead of their mother.
The first person he had talked about all this to after becoming an adult, excluding medical personnel, was Yeon Woo.
“So your sibling tried to wake you up… But why in the office? What if someone misunderstands like I did?”
“I don’t just see her at the company. I also go to the hospital. We meet in various places.”
Ah. His personal schedule. ······Now I understand.
“Yes. So that’s how it happened.”
“······.”
She nodded lightly a few times with an indifferent expression. She could not read Yeon Woo’s reaction, which was normally so transparent and clearly visible.
Did the misfortune of another, which she learned about against her will, feel burdensome?
Jun Hwi also silently furrowed his brows.
“But Attorney. Why did you tell me such an important······ secretive story?”
Yeon Woo, breaking the momentary silence, raised a question that even Jun Hwi didn’t know the answer to.
He also wanted to know the reason more than anyone else. Why was he exposing his deepest vulnerability to her?
Whether as a prosecutor or a lawyer, Kwon Jun Hwi always had to show a flawless and perfect image. Life was about pushing your point as strong and as right, no matter what.
But why do you always become the exception?
Just······ He couldn’t bear it any longer that this small face tried so hard to avoid him at all angles.
He had to clear the misunderstanding and make those round eyes meet mine again. That’s all he thought.
Even if everyone else avoided Jun Hwi, saying he was a lone wolf, a hunting dog, and that it would be troublesome if they got involved, he wished that Kim Yeon Woo wouldn’t avoid him.
“Well·····”
He didn’t want to postpone the answer either.
There were moments when he lost control in front of her. It was inevitable, like tinnitus that suddenly appeared and tortured him.
“Use it for your work. You are my assistant after all.”
“······.”
Both knew that it was a lame excuse. Yeon Woo tightly shut her mouth again.
How did she react to his past he wanted to hide? Jun Hwi, who never considered the perspective of others, found it difficult to even guess.
Would he regret revealing this story? For now, waiting for a calm judgment was the best option.
The canned coffee in Yeon Woo’s hand grew cold. The short winter sun was gradually staining the surroundings yellow and started to decline.
“Shall we go in now?”
“Mm, yes.”
“You go down first.”
Jun Hwi pulled out another warm canned coffee from the coat pocket that was draped over her shoulder and put it back in Yeon Woo’s hand.
She smiled. It was a warm smile that he hadn’t seen in a long time.
“I’ll drink them well, both.”
It’s neither hot nor cold. Even such small things were extreme. So he involuntarily laughed. It was so very Kwon Jun Hwi.
Yeon Woo handed back his coat and left the rooftop first.
The next day. Yeon Woo, who he met on the first floor on his way to work, no longer avoided him.
“Hello, Attorney.”
“Yes.”
And the silence that followed was the same as usual.
The hum of the elevator carrying just the two of them filled the space gently.
“Attorney. Are you alright?”
This was something different from usual.
“……”
His brows furrowed deeply, as if he had heard something unpleasant. Yeon Woo shrank back a little at his unexpectedly harsh reaction.
As expected, was she also trying to sympathize with Jun Hwi?
That alltoofamiliar sentence was the start of sympathy for him. His homeroom teacher who found out about his situation, the doctor, and the nurse, all of them said the same thing.
Are you okay? How are you today? Please let me know if you need help. You must have had a hard time. I feel so sorry for you. It will get better. Hang in there.
Was he destined to remain an object of sympathy and compassion for Kim Yeon Woo as well? A bitter taste rose in his mouth.
Jun Hwi put the mobile phone he was about to look at back into his pocket, and clenched his hand tightly. He was about to lash out, saying he didn’t need such pity and worry.
“Did you not see the news?”
She said something quite different from what he had expected. Jun Hwi’s guard naturally dropped.
“……Not yet.”
“Someone posted on the internet at dawn that J Airlines manipulated the safety inspection results for their old aircraft, and it’s causing quite a stir right now.”
What trouble could that always troublesome client J Airlines have gotten into again? As he heard Yeon Woo’s explanation and hastily reached for his phone, it began to vibrate. It was the head attorney Ro An Yul.
“Yes, Mr. Chairman. It’s Kwon Jun Hwi. ……Yes, I’m figuring it out right now.”
Yeon Woo quickly thrust her own mobile phone in front of his eyes. It was an article summarizing the situation with J Airlines. Holding up three fingers, she whispered, ‘Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, 3 o’clock.’
“The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport will hold a press conference at 3 o’clock about the situation. ……Yes. The safety inspection was outsourced to a Japanese company.”
Jun Hwi quickly scanned her mobile phone and briefed the head attorney.
The elevator doors opened at their destination. Yeon Woo’s quick steps outpaced his own striding footsteps, and she used her security card to open the office door and they both went inside.
Soon, Jun Hwi, who had finished his call, turned to look at Yeon Woo in front of his own room.
“Deputy. I’m going to report to the chairman right now.”
“Yes, I’ll arrange a meeting with the J Airlines officials and start the meeting first.”
“Please also get information on the safety inspection company.”
“I will request it from the research team.”
“The article you showed me earlier.”
“I’ve forwarded it to your email, sir. Should I also print it out?”
“……”
Instead of answering, Jun Hwi stared straight at Yeon Woo.
“Do you have any other instructions?”
Her plump cheeks flushed with tension. Round eyes looking at him seriously. He couldn’t find a trace of pity in any part of her face.
Kim Yeon Woo was different from others. She was an exception again.
Perhaps she was… going to be his only exception moving forward.
“Attorney?” His mind returned to the present at the repeated calling, and Jun Hwi smirked.
“No, please print it.”
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 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.
