Eun Soo cautiously looked up at Hyuk Joo’s face.
The end of Hyuk Joo’s eyebrows rose sharply.
Even though no words had come out of his mouth yet, Eun Soo found herself shrinking just by looking at Hyuk Joo.
She felt like a child who had committed a forbidden act. Like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for punishment, Eun Soo lowered her gaze to the floor.
Her heart pounded loudly.
“Why did you suddenly look up the hospital bill?”
“…Just because I was curious.”
“It doesn’t seem like you were just curious?”
Hyuk Joo’s questioning tone was unavoidably sharp.
Seeing Hyuk Joo’s feet moving closer towards her, Eun Soo stepped back impulsively. But the place she stepped back into was against the wall.
She could feel the hard touch of the wall against her back. Eun Soo bit her lip tightly and swallowed her dry saliva.
She thought of all sorts of excuses to tell Hyuk Joo.
The hospital bill for my mother seems to cost more than I thought.
I need to know how much the hospital bill is.
Several excuses came to mind, but Eun Soo couldn’t easily spit out any of them. If she mentioned the excuses she thought of, Hyuk Joo seemed ready to raise more questions.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
So, Eun Soo chose to keep her mouth shut.
Was her silence frustrating?
Hyuk Joo simply summed up the situation.
“Eun Soo, I know your mind is filled with thoughts of your motherinlaw, but I’d rather you didn’t worry about things like hospital bills. It’s a detail you don’t necessarily need to know.”
“…But it’s my mom’s hospital bill.”
“So? Are you saying that’s why you’re living with me? So, did you calculate how much it costs to live with me?”
Hyuk Joo continued coldly with a laugh.
“How much? Do you think the price of living with me is less than this?”
“Mr. Hyuk Joo…”
“It doesn’t seem like the face of someone who thinks they’re receiving more than they’re doing.”
Eun Soo looked up at Hyuk Joo’s face, which was mocking her.
His neck had turned red with anger for some reason.
He seemed to think Eun Soo was valuing him in terms of money. It seemed to be a feeling of humiliation, as he was a person who had never been treated like that by others in his life.
Eun Soo moved her dry lips slowly.
“I was just curious. Just…”
But the words that came out of her mouth were a repetition of what she had said earlier.
It couldn’t be helped.
Because she couldn’t tell him that the first thing she needed to do to break up with Moon Hyuk Joo was to find a way to solve her mother’s hospital bills.
Whether he thought it was an appropriate answer for Eun Soo or not, Hyuk Joo’s hardened face began to soften a little.
Eun Soo quickly seized this opportunity to resume their routine as a couple.
“I’ll have the coat cleaned separately.”
Eun Soo, who picked up the coat in Hyuk Joo’s hand, hung it on a hanger. Then she took out Hyuk Joo’s pajamas.
“I’ll leave them on the bed.”
“…Okay.”
“Do you want to shower first?”
“Sure.”
Hyuk Joo glanced at Eun Soo’s face once and then strode into the bathroom with his long legs.
Eun Soo stared down at his pajamas, which were still at the end of the bed.
Swallowing a small sigh, she picked up the pajamas and placed them on the shelf in the powder room in front of the bathroom. Then Eun Soo picked out some clothes to change into and went into the bathroom in the living room on the second floor.
She turned on the hot water and began to shower.
She washed her hair and lathered her body.
The pitiful image of herself, unable to maintain her composure in front of Hyuk Joo due to just a hospital bill, flashed in Eun Soo’s mind, and she let out a hollow laugh.
It was a marriage she had seemingly clung to from the start.
Therefore, whatever Hyuk Joo said or did, Eun Soo couldn’t say anything. Because it was a marriage that started with a promise not to interfere in whatever he would do in the future.
She felt frustrated.
Throughout the shower, Eun Soo rubbed her heavy chest with her palm.
She didn’t know why she felt the illusion that the invisible bruise on her snowwhite chest was deepening.
The gallery where the celebration party was being held was bustling with people.
One of the wives of the presidents of the affiliate companies of Myungjin Group was opening a gallery, so Eun Soo attended the party to pay her respects. As she was turning around after offering her congratulations, a call came in from an unfamiliar number.
Her principle was not to answer calls from unknown numbers.
Her aunt always told Eun Soo that answering such calls would only lead to unnecessary complications.
Eun Soo was about to ignore it, but unconsciously pressed the call button.
Unable to hang up the already connected call, she opened her mouth.
“…Hello?”
― Is this Eun Soo’s number?
“Yes, I’m Eun Soo.”
― Oh my goodness! It is Eun Soo!
At the familiar voice of the other party, full of delight, Eun Soo hurriedly moved to a place away from the people.
“Aunt Yoo Seon, is that you?”
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:
