She couldn’t push him away further, given his demeanor suggesting she was nagging.
The day after the move, Hyuk-ju prepared to return to Seoul.
Now, with her in Jeju and him in Seoul, they’d live their separate lives, occasionally checking in on each other.
Though that was what she hoped for, thinking of it made one side of Eun-su’s heart heavy. However, Hyuk-ju’s words were entirely unexpected.
“I’ll settle some things and come back.”
“What do you mean by ‘settle things’?”
“I plan to resign from the company as soon as I return.”
“Mr. Hyuk-ju.”
“There are plenty of places to work here too.”
“You know I’m not saying this because I doubt your capability to work.”
Quitting his job sounded absurd.
She shook her head in disbelief, but Hyuk-ju appeared unfazed. His eyes, seemingly having made a firm resolution, were resolute.
“There won’t be a situation where I can’t play the role of our child’s father due to a lack of money. So don’t worry.”
“What are you talking about now…”
“Also, use this phone from now on.”
Hyuk-ju took out a mobile phone from his suit jacket pocket and handed it to Eun-su.
He then picked up the phone placed on the living room table, the one Eun-su had been using since arriving in Jeju.
Eun-su looked puzzled, wondering why he suddenly wanted her to change phones.
“Aunt might try to contact you.”
“She promised she wouldn’t.”
“I can’t trust that promise.”
Eun-su said no more.
Young-ran’s promise to not make contact was made when Hyuk-ju seemingly accepted the situation.
If he declared to quit his job once back in Seoul, it was obvious Young-ran would immediately get in touch. Perhaps she might even suggest meeting right away.
Eun-su didn’t want to deal with such hassle. Hence, she pretended to be persuaded by Hyuk-ju’s suggestion to use the new phone.
“I’ll be back.”
“Mr. Hyuk-ju.”
“No matter what you say, I’ll come back. So, don’t talk about ending or finishing anything with me.”
She was about to mock him, but her words froze upon seeing the deep look in Hyuk-ju’s eyes as he stared at her stomach.
It was like he was looking at his committed self, knowing she was pregnant and vowing to protect the child. Hence, Eun-su couldn’t add any more words.
“I’ll be back. If anything happens, contact me right away.”
Worried Eun-su might argue, Hyuk-ju quickly got in his car.
When he came to Jeju, he felt despair like facing a thick fog, but now, his mind was clear about what needed to be done.
He had to think about Eun-su and their child.
The house, leased on an annual basis, was fully furnished with furniture and appliances. Thankfully, the move wasn’t too taxing.
It felt like a vacation by the sea.
It would be a vacation for a year.
Eun-su checked the message from Hyuk-ju but did not respond. She was taken aback by the name saved on the phone.
Husband.
Unbelievable.
“He does as he pleases.”
Picking up the phone again, Eun-su pressed the edit button next to the saved name ‘Husband’, deleted it, and typed in ‘Moon Hyuk-ju’.
She had done the obvious, but found herself sighing for no particular reason.
She put her hand on her cheek and looked towards the living room window.
The sea was right in front.
The waves were breaking white, indicating it was quite windy.
Eun-su stood for a while, gazing at the sea with a calm face. Suddenly, the ringtone of her phone broke her trance.
“He said he boarded the plane…”
As Eun-su tilted her head, her face lit up upon seeing the name on the phone screen.
It was a call from In-woo.
Before she could greet him, In-woo’s voice poured out.
— Oh Eun-su? Did you cause some trouble? You changed your number and now again, what’s the deal?
“There were some circumstances.”
— What circumstances?
“I’ll tell you later.”
She couldn’t recount every detail of the events over the past few days.
Thankfully, In-woo didn’t pry further.
— You’re still in Jeju?
“Yes. I plan to stay here.”
— What do you mean?
“I liked it here, so I decided to live for a year.”
— ….
“People are trending a year stay in Jeju. So, I thought I’d join.”
— … That’s nice.
There was a long pause before he said that. Although he didn’t know everything, In-woo seemed to have a rough idea of her situation.
— How’s the baby?
“He’s fine. I went to the hospital last week.”
— Grown a lot?
“Um… He was only the size of a bean?”
— They grow quickly. You know you have to eat well and rest, right?
“Yes. You sound just like the doctor.”
— I am a doctor.
Laughing at In-woo’s indignant response, Eun-su said.
— Eun-su.
In-woo suddenly called Eun-su in a serious tone. Just as she was about to ask why, the doorbell rang.
She wasn’t expecting anyone.
“It seems someone’s here, In-woo. I’ll call you back later.”
Eun-su hurriedly ended the call and approached the wall-pad to check the face on the screen. The face appearing on the black-and-white screen was that of the landlord.
Pleased, Eun-su immediately opened the door.
The landlord stood there, holding two enormous suitcases in each hand.
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?
