“Ugh, I can’t drink anymore.”
After visiting the restroom, Shin Yeon didn’t return to her seat.
She felt like if she took even one more sip, she would simply collapse.
In the end, Shin Yeon went outside the restaurant to get some fresh air.
“Haah….”
Her sigh trailed off, her gaze lifting to the distant sky.
The midsummer night was extremely noisy.
From the cicadas, whose constant shrilling grated on her ears.
To the laughter and chatter of people roaming the streets in search of a cool beer to beat the heat.
Looking at such a scene, all she should have thought was ‘Summer is here.’ ‘It’s going to get hotter soon.’
She should have cooled her head while enjoying the twinkling sights of the summer night.
But then.
“Huh…?”
Thump.
Something welled up in her eyes, and without any resistance, they fell onto the ground.
“What’s this?”
Shin Yeon seemed surprised by her own falling tears.
She didn’t know why.
She really had no thoughts at all.
She wasn’t particularly sad, or in much pain.
All she did was chew on the name Park Jin Woo for the first time in a very long while.
But her tears… just wouldn’t stop.
“Hic, sniff. Waaah….”
In the end, Shin Yeon couldn’t hold back and burst into tears.
Even when she bit her lower lip hard, the grief that refused to stop just poured out.
She let it flow amidst the noisy crowd of the summer night.
The moment of the heartbreaking and pitiful breakup.
“Park Jin Woo, really…. waaah.”
It felt as if something she had been holding back all day suddenly burst.
She endured, and endured again.
She had clenched her teeth for years not to crumble like this.
Yet just at his name, she found herself crying out loud, and she despised herself for it.
Could emotions and reason truly be separate entities?
Thud.
And then, at that moment,
A jacket was placed over the head of the weeping Shin Yeon.
“It’s still cold. The night is.”
It was obvious.
The only one who would carry a suit jacket in this summer was the new employee.
Shin Yeon, embarrassed, didn’t lift her head once, and in the space made darker by the jacket, she let out the pain that had piled up once again.
It was the noisiest summer night. The most silent moment.
((()))
Thud.
The new employee’s act of opening the hangover remedy was extremely natural.
Shin Yeon, who had been crying for a while, followed him nonchalantly to the convenience store at his offer of ‘Would you like to go get some ice cream?’ as if nothing had happened.
“From wanting to eat ice cream…”
“Do you usually cry when you are drunk?”
Now, it was time for aimless conversation.
Shin Yeon swallowed the hangover drink he offered in response to their disjointed answers.
The parasol outside the convenience store, it was a decent spot.
“Uh, this is more bitter than I thought.”
“Did you finish all of it?”
The inevitable question came.
Ha. Shin Yeon let out a short sigh and looked up at him.
“Yes. I’m fine now. And I was crying about that divorced man that the rookie heard about in the elevator this morning. That’s it.”
The rookie seemed to understand and nodded.
Seeing this, Shin Yeon made a mischievous face.
Rookie, he is unexpectedly strong.
Although he did not voice it exactly, he pressured her slightly with his gaze on the way to the convenience store.
As if insisting on a clear reason for why she was crying.
“Why? Do you want to see him again?”
“No! Absolutely not.”
She could definitely answer that, if nothing else.
“Even if he comes to get back together?”
“There’s no need to think about that since that’s not going to happen.”
Shin Yeon emptied the remaining hangover cure into her mouth.
“Why did you break up?”
But more importantly, why is this guy so curious?
He’s goodlooking so she was giving him a pass.
“Do you, Mr. Lee Hyun Woo, usually take a lot of interest in your coworkers’ personal affairs?”
Shin Yeon blurted out, then immediately regretted it.
After all, he was the rookie who had lent her his jacket and even brought her to the convenience store.
“Ah… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that.”
Just now, even she thought she was being emotional.
Shin Yeon quickly apologized.
“I don’t want to talk about why I got divorced because it’s embarrassing. I don’t even want to think about it because it’s too pitiful.”
Then she regretted it again.
Oh no, did she just admit she was fooled?
“You don’t have to. There’s no need to talk about it.”
The rookie’s words, implying that there was no need to go into details, stimulated her curiosity in a strange way.
“It was a relationship that started too young. We dated for a long time.”
Let’s see, it started when she was twenty.
“Like, he was the standard for all my choices. He was the most grownup person to me at that time, and he was the most important person to me.”
In young Shin Yeon’s eyes, he, who was her senior, was someone who was good at everything.
Unlike Shin Yeon’s life, which had chosen ‘diligently’ over ‘why’, he seemed to effortlessly lead the way, no matter what he did.
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.
