“It seems so. Also, when I tried to introduce Saet-byeol to In-woo last time, and Director objected, was it also because of this?”
“Probably. If I were to take sides, I’d lean towards Hyun-soo.”
“Well, then I’ll take In-woo’s side.”
“What?”
Eun-soo’s joking remark caused Hyuk-joo’s forehead to crease instantly.
Not because of the intention to put In-woo in the middle of the two who were likely to become a couple soon, but because Eun-soo seemed to favor In-woo with the tone of her statement, Hyuk-joo felt hurt.
Detecting that, Eun-soo held back her laughter and asked, “If you look objectively, In-woo is really not a bad person as a man, right?”
“Yeah.”
Hyuk-joo replied with a detached expression.
Was I always such a thick-skinned person? he wondered for a moment. His relationship with Hwang In-woo had clearly improved through several contacts and his mother-in-law’s 49-day ceremony.
As Eun-soo said, he was a decent guy, even in the eyes of other men. His capabilities, as well as his character, were evident from their conversations.
However, when Eun-soo mentioned his name, Hyeok-joo felt a strange emotion.
Is this feeling jealousy?
Hyeok-joo couldn’t help but laugh at her awkward self, even as she thought about it.
“Hyeok-joo.”
“Yeah?”
“I was just kidding.”
“I know. Still, it feels a bit off.”
“I know exactly how you’re feeling right now, Hyeok-joo. I’ve felt this way for a few years.”
Ha. A short sigh-like sound burst out of Hyeok-joo, close to a sigh.
In hindsight, he was a thorough sinner in front of Eun-soo. Moreover, he was like a fool who, believing that an enemy in front of her was virtually a benefactor, committed foolish acts without hesitation.
Eun-soo gently took Hyeok-joo’s darkened hand.
“If you want to repay what happened between us, Hyeok-joo, you’ll have to put in a lot of effort.”
“Of course.”
Hyeok-joo overlapped his other hand on Eun-soo’s dorsum, gently stroking it.
While doing so, he raised his head and looked at the scenery in front of him.
Like the waves endlessly rushing towards the vast sandy beach outside the window, he had to express his sincerity to Eun-soo without a break.
He vowed over and over again.
The warm afternoon sunlight brightly illuminated the two sitting side by side.
The 6-person room was packed with no empty beds. Nevertheless, Ju-hwan was fortunate enough to get a seat near the window.
Although his body was perfectly fine, pretending to be sick was also a taste of death.
Ju-kyung warned that he should prepare for the possibility of serving time in prison later. So, Ju-hwan, who wanted to escape immediately, lay on the bed and received only intravenous fluids.
“It would be good to take a walk or something…”
Ju-hwan picked up his phone and called Ju-kyung.
Ju-kyung had been too busy to contact since yesterday. Even today, after several attempts, he could only have one brief conversation. That was all he said because he was busy.
“You’re busy spending money by walking around!”
Ju-hwan suddenly stood up, shoulders rising as he excitedly chattered. In his eyes, a patient who boasted about his children was visible on a shelf.
Today, as well, he was loudly bragging about how excellent his children were, as if it were his hobby.
‘So many outstanding children, but you’ve never bothered to visit your father here even once?’
Ju-hwan inwardly clicked his tongue.
As he looked around the 6-person room with six beds, memories of the past suddenly came to mind.
His deceased wife had also spent one or two years in a place like this.
There was no sign of waking up, and it felt like a waste to spend hospital expenses on someone who seemed unlikely to recover. That’s why I had told Eun-soo that I wouldn’t support her hospital expenses anymore.
Having sent only the minimum cost every month, Eun-soo reluctantly moved her mother to such a place to take care of her.
Anyway, I thought there was no big difference between a single room and a 6-person room since they were all patients.
“If I had known it would be this noisy, I wouldn’t have done it.”
Constantly noisy patients during the day, and another patient snoring at night. Thinking that Eun-soo had taken care of her mother in such an environment, Ju-hwan was once again impressed by his daughter.
“She must have received blessings for living like this.”
Ju-hwan took a sip of water from the bottle on the shelf and took off his stained glasses. His hand, wiping the glasses with a cloth, suddenly stopped. The more he thought about it, the more his anger surged.
Although it was a pretense, Moon Hyeok-joo must have clearly mentioned her condition. Still, it was annoying that Eun-soo, who hadn’t called once, was ridiculous.
“No. She probably thinks I’ve been discharged. If she knows I’m here like this, it might make Eun-soo feel weak.”
Since there was no way to convey his situation without knowing the contact information, he couldn’t just contact Moon Hyeok-joo without reason. At that moment, he remembered the manager of the entertainment agency that Ju-kyung had told him about before.
Considering that he quickly found out who the woman his son-in-law was meeting, he seemed to have extraordinary skills. A smile broke out on Ju-hwan’s face, which had been sulking for a long time.
He called Ju-kyung again. Fortunately, this time he was connected right away.
— Why? I told you I’m busy.
“I know you’re busy. I called to ask for a favor.”
— If you need something, just send a message. Or ask the nurse.
Ju-kyung grumbled with an irritated tone. The sharp voice contained noise, as if she had been to a department store or something.
While her husband was like this, she was wandering around outside carelessly.
Annoyance surged.
— So, what do you want me to do?
“I need something, that’s why. Give me the contact information for that entertainment agency you asked Moon Hyeok-joo to take care of.”
— Why suddenly that?
“Just give me the contact information for now. I have something to check.”
— Fine. I’ll send it to you right away.
Ju-kyung immediately hung up. Although she said she would send the message right away, it took a while for the message to arrive.
Ju-hwan searched his phone and found the copy he had taken before. Since he knew Eun-soo’s resident registration number, knowing the contact information was a piece of cake.
But as Ju-hwan was about to call the entertainment agency, his eyes narrowed for a moment.
Come to think of it, there were quite a few suspicious things about Ju-kyung’s recent actions. It seemed better to coolly find out once rather than keep suspecting.
Nodding his head, Ju-hwan pressed the call button.
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.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
