He thought it would be a good idea to have dinner if his wife was still at her motherinlaw’s hospital.
However, only the call connecting sound could be heard, his wife didn’t answer the phone. It was the first time his wife hadn’t answered his call, and Hyuk Joo felt strange.
Had something happened?
His wife’s face, seemingly worn out from caring for her aunt’s child, Seong Hwa, kept floating in front of his eyes.
“Haah……”
Hyuk Joo, who was about to put his glasses back on, let out a deep sigh instead.
The fact that her aunt openly discussed the matter of a child in front of me meant that she had been relentlessly pressuring my wife all this time.
Like a fool, kind Eun Soo would have repeatedly said she would try, apologizing over and over.
Hyuk Joo found himself wishing that the problem had been with him instead.
Then no one in the family would be able to say anything to his wife about having a child.
Hyuk Joo pressed the intercom and called for Manager Song.
Shortly after the call, Manager Song entered.
“Vice President, you called for me?”
“I’d like to leave early today.”
“When you say early, what time are you referring to?”
Manager Song’s voice was cautious as he asked.
Due to preparations for a new business project, Vice President Moon Hyuk Joo’s departure time had been inconsistent since last month. Even on the earliest days, it had been past 10 pm, and often it was past midnight.
“Now.”
“Now?”
Manager Song’s eyes widened.
It had just past 5 pm. To Manager Song’s knowledge, since joining the company, Vice President Moon Hyuk Joo had never left before 6 pm.
Had something serious happened?
Manager Song awaited his response.
“Now, immediately. If you can reschedule the remaining appointments to tomorrow, do so. If it’s difficult, set it for the next available slot.”
“Yes, understood.”
This was unusual.
Vice President Moon Hyuk Joo was not one to postpone today’s work till tomorrow. It was more common for him to bring forward tomorrow’s work to today.
With questioning eyes, Manager Song quietly watched Vice President Moon Hyuk Joo prepare to leave. Then he remembered what he should do.
“I’ll have the car ready for you.”
“Leave it.”
“Pardon?”
“I intend to drive.”
“……Yes, understood.”
As Hyuk Joo was buttoning his suit jacket, he stopped Manager Song, who was about to leave the Vice President’s office.
“Contact the hospital and check if Eun Soo, no, if my wife is still there.”
“Yes.”
His wife often put her phone on silent when she entered her motherinlaw’s hospital room. That’s probably why she couldn’t answer his call.
Hyuk Joo left the Vice President’s office.
He got into his car and headed for the hospital.
“Sigh……”
He gripped the steering wheel tightly.
For Hyuk Joo, the hospital was a place that invoked feelings of guilt.
He was always tormented by the guilt of leaving his sick mother alone.
‘You were the one.’
When he met the child his mother had been searching for until her dying breath, Hyuk Joo was happy. That’s why he didn’t refuse anything he could help with. He felt as if only by doing so could he be redeemed from the guilt of leaving his mother alone.
What had started as a way to alleviate the guilt deeply etched in his heart, had gradually transformed into an arrogant sense of responsibility to save a person.
He thought that marriage was the right thing to do if he was to keep her by his side for life, and he quite assertively expressed his intention to marry her. As he had expected, his aunt strongly opposed.
Hyuk Joo felt a strange sense of satisfaction in standing up to his aunt, who tried to control him and his father.
‘That child, she left without a backward glance when she saw the money.’
Whether she had succumbed to his aunt’s persuasion, or whether she had made such a request first, Hyuk Joo didn’t bother to find out.
He was tired of constantly confronting that woman, who was always demanding something from him, and his aunt, who showed a sharp reaction every day.
Time passed with such a ticking time bomb in place.
‘She is just my type.’
His aunt had introduced Eun Soo like that.
What had she done to earn the favor of his aunt, who rarely gave her heart to others?
Before he even met Eun Soo, Hyuk Joo thought of her as his aunt’s person. Therefore, in a moment of raw emotion, he blurted out that he was in love with another woman.
He had no idea that the words he impulsively spat out would later weigh so heavily on him.
When that woman returned and expressed her desire to help, Hyuk Joo remembered Eun Soo’s face, calmly telling him to do so.
“Should I have stayed silent instead……”
Mumbling to himself, Hyuk Joo soon shook his head.
He didn’t want to keep secrets from Eun Soo.
He thought that if Eun Soo found out later that he had helped that woman, she would feel uncomfortable.
“What am I to you?”
Hyuk Joo smirked bitterly.
When he said he would help that woman, he secretly wished Eun Soo would show her dislike.
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.
