Whether it was because of the factory relocation issue or the suddenly advanced marriage due to some unknown reason, there was no way to know for sure.
“Director, we’ve arrived.”
At Park Director’s voice heard through the phone, Woo-jin’s gaze turned to the window.
Cheongdam restaurant, Léan. It was the place where he had agreed to meet his blind date today.
He looked at his wristwatch and, realizing he had arrived ten minutes earlier than the appointment time, took out a cigarette from the inside pocket of his suit. Then, before lighting the cigarette, he got out of the car.
He smoked, yet ironically, he detested the smell of cigarettes. However, even though others claimed they couldn’t smell the cigarette he smoked, his exceedingly neat and meticulous nature wouldn’t allow him to smoke in an enclosed space.
With the sound of a snap, when the flame from the Zippo lighter transferred to the cigarette, he inhaled deeply, absorbing the bitter and acrid smoke, and shifted his gaze. Then he saw her, a woman lingering at the end of his sight.
A woman with a puzzled expression, alternating between the entrance of the restaurant and the tip of her shoe.
With a single glance, he recognized that she was the blind date he was supposed to meet—Min Tae-eun. No, it was impossible not to recognize her. Even if she had come without recognizing his face as her blind date, the woman, who was much more beautiful in person than in the photo, had a distinctive atmosphere that made one’s gaze linger.
Thanks to her, a middle-aged man who had just come out of the restaurant almost slipped on the icy road, as he kept staring at her. Of course, the woman, who was unaware of it, remained lost in her thoughts, still looking down at the tip of her shoe.
What on earth could she be so distressed about?
A wry smile appeared on his lips as he looked at the woman. After all, he thought he was no different from the old man he had just met.
Over the past week, he had seen numerous spouse profiles sent by his aunts, but none of them appealed to him. The intentions behind the profiles seemed too obvious.
His grandmother, Chairman Jung, and other aunts hoped that he would marry Go Ji-hye, the second daughter of Hansung Group. Therefore, profiles other than Go Ji-hye were almost like trash. Then he noticed her, Min Tae-eun’s profile. No, to be precise, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the woman in the photo instantly captivated his gaze.
Even if she were an actress, she had a beauty that didn’t lose to one. The seductive atmosphere that could pierce through a photo, along with her dismal conditions that followed, pushed everything else to the background.
When people hear about marriages in chaebols, they usually think of business. Therefore, there were many people around him who maintained separate relationships for marriage and love. However, he didn’t like that approach. With a wife alone, there was no time or energy to spare for a nagging lover.
If it was going to be an impossible marriage anyway, a woman’s appearance was very important. That way, even after marriage, he could start something, whether it was love or ugly affection.
In that regard, Min Tae-eun was qualified. In reality, she had a three-dimensional appearance that was incomparable to the photo. Not to mention the atmosphere.
“Sigh…”
A narrowed gaze, emitting bitter smoke, looked at her through the white haze.
But then, she received a call. Even from a few steps away, he could tell from the woman’s expression that the voice on the other end of the phone was not friendly.
She briefly answered the person on the other end, and behind Tae-eun, a hysterical scream came faintly through the phone, saying that if she couldn’t get an after-appointment, she shouldn’t come home.
As she hung up the phone, a sigh escaped her lips, and he couldn’t help but smirk at that.
At the same time, he recalled her profile.
Didn’t she say her father was her biological father, but her mother was a stepmother? Even with just one phone call, it vividly passed by how difficult a life she was living.
Holding the phone that was cut off, she stood still for a while. Then, with an empty gaze, she looked somewhere else. Her eyes looked so precarious that his heart felt like it was tightening.
What could she be thinking right now?
Anxiously, his gaze couldn’t look away.
And when she finally took a step, he unintentionally opened his mouth.
“I think the direction is not that way.”
At the sudden interference, she shifted her gaze from where she had settled and looked at him, as if to say, “What’s your business?” However, he paid no attention and closed the distance between them. In her eyes, seen up close, there was full of hostility.
But it was strange. Those eyes didn’t feel unfamiliar. For some inexplicable reason, a pang of pain passed through his chest.
Why…
In the face of unknown emotions, a brief silence ensued.
Soon, he, who found the silence uncomfortable, drew deeply from the cigarette between his fingertips, then opened his mouth.
“Why, am I getting on your nerves?”
Unlike the scattering cigarette smoke, there was a feeling of cluttered thoughts being organized all at once. Just because this woman was in front of him.
It was truly a bizarre phenomenon.
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:
