“Yes?”
Manager Song turned and walked over at Woo Hyun’s call. Se Kyung gave her a smile and a nod.
“Se Kyung’s got a gift?”
“A gift for Se Kyung? I’m not sure… Oh, maybe that’s it? A flower basket was delivered to Director Tae’s office this afternoon.”
“A flower basket? To Tae Jo’s office?”
What a mismatched combination.
Both Woo Hyun and Seok Joo looked at each other with puzzled faces. Then, seemingly intrigued, they asked Se Kyung.
“Who sent it?”
“I’m not sure…”
“Could it be Se Kyung’s boyfriend?”
“Uh… wouldn’t a boyfriend send it to her home, not the office?”
Se Kyung dodged Woo Hyun’s gaze, feeling awkward.
“Ah, right. I’m curious though. Who could have sent it?”
“Yeah. But are you sure it’s for Se Kyung? If it went to Tae Jo’s office, it might be for him, not Se Kyung.”
“A flower basket for Tae Jo? Who would send such a tasteless gift…”
Woo Hyun shuddered at the thought of Tae Jo with a flower basket.
But, curiosity lingered. Who was the flower basket in Tae Jo’s office really for?
“…”
Glancing sideways, Woo Hyun nudged Seok Joo’s ribs.
Even the typically slow-witted Seok Joo seemed to catch on, grabbing Se Kyung’s shoulder and spinning her around.
“Let’s go, Se Kyung. You came to get your gift, right?”
“Uh, yes?”
Unable to resist Seok Joo’s push, Se Kyung’s legs moved involuntarily.
They arrived at the entrance to Tae Jo’s office.
Kim, the secretary outside the office, looked unusually flustered as Se Kyung, followed by the two men, approached.
“Tae Jo is inside, right?”
“Yes.”
As Kim reached for the intercom, Woo Hyun gestured for her to put the receiver down.
Se Kyung, urged by Seok Joo’s meaningful look, knocked on the door.
“Director Tae, it’s Yoon Se Kyung.”
“Come in.”
Tae Jo’s voice came from inside.
Se Kyung hesitated, glancing at Seok Joo, who nodded for her to go in. Reluctantly, she opened the door.
“What’s this?”
Tae Jo frowned at the sight of the two men following Se Kyung.
“Why are you here?”
“We heard there’s a gift for Se Kyung.”
Tae Jo’s frown deepened. Woo Hyun casually looked around the office.
“Is it this?”
Woo Hyun pointed to a large flower basket on the sofa table.
“Yes.”
“Why would Se Kyung’s gift come to your office?”
Woo Hyun inspected the basket, moving around the table.
Se Kyung, curious, looked at Tae Jo. The ivory ribbon on the basket’s handle only had a message congratulating her on the drama’s premiere.
“From Sister-in-law.”
“Uh? Sister-in-law?”
As Woo Hyun questioned, Tae Jo nodded in confirmation.
“Whose sister-in-law?”
“Do I have another sister-in-law? The one who married my brother.”
Woo Hyun blinked in surprise at Tae Jo’s nonchalant response.
“So, this gift is for Se Kyung, and it’s from your sister-in-law?”
Woo Hyun wondered, knowing Tae Jo only had one sister-in-law. Why would she send flowers to Se Kyung…
“Is this from Vice President Ye Ryeong?”
Se Kyung’s bright voice caught Woo Hyun’s attention, who was still puzzled.
Se Kyung pulled the flower basket closer to her, sitting on the sofa. The lushly bloomed lisianthus was adorned with a small card.
“How do you know Ye Ryeong, Se Kyung?”
“I met her at a gallery. We had a meal together.”
Se Kyung replied to Seok Joo, then opened the card. It contained congratulations on her drama premiere and an invitation for another meal together.
“Do both of you know Vice President Ye Ryeong?”
“She’s Tae Jo’s sister-in-law and frequently visited when Tae Jo’s brother was the head here.”
“Ah, that reminds me…”
Se Kyung glanced at Woo Hyun, recalling his earlier comment about the flower basket.
“Someone said the flower basket was tasteless.”
“Who?”
Tae Jo asked as he approached the sofa, prompting a defensive response from Woo Hyun.
“No, I thought a woman sent the basket to Tae Jo, that’s why I said that!”
“You said that? I’ll tell sister-in-law that Woo Hyun thought her taste was poor.”
“Hey, really, Se Kyung? Why would you do that?”
Woo Hyun looked at Se Kyung with a wronged expression. She covered her mouth with the card, chuckling.
“I had something to ask Se Kyung.”
“Me? What about?”
“I wanted to know more about Yu Na.”
“Ah, about that…”
Se Kyung began to speak, but Woo Hyun, feeling unjustly accused, pointed at Tae Jo, asking for his innocence to be proven first.
“Exactly as Director Kang said. I thought the gift was for Director Tae and commented on the lack of taste of the sender.”
Se Kyung quickly shifted gears to clear Woo Hyun’s name. Tae Jo chuckled at her adorable and clever response.
“Director Kang, are you planning to recruit Yu Na to our agency?”
Se Kyung cautiously asked as she replied to Woo Hyun’s question. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
“We’re looking at it positively. Nothing’s confirmed, so don’t mention it to her yet. Seeing how she stepped up for you, she seems loyal. Her recent appearances on TV are impressive. And, Yu Na can sing well, right?”
“Yes. She was the main vocalist in her group.”
“Is she still that good? If her voice fits, she could sing for drama OSTs. If we sign her, it won’t be with Jin Enter but with our newly established label for entertainers and singers. Although there won’t be a huge difference. I’ll be more involved in that label than Tae Jo.”
“I understand.”
“But will she accept? I heard other companies are also interested in her.”
“That’s true. She hasn’t found a suitable place yet.”
“Then I shouldn’t take it easy. I’ll go and discuss with my team. Oh, Se Kyung.”
Kang stood up, looking down at Se Kyung.
“Yes?”
“Will you come to our workshop? I’ve heard from others, but not from you.”
“I have a schedule that day, but…”
Se Kyung hesitated, glancing at Tae Jo.
“The shooting isn’t for the drama, so it shouldn’t last late. Since it’s a staff workshop during the day, you don’t need to come early. Just show up for dinner if you can.”
“Okay. I’ll also come late after finishing my shoot.”
“Seok Joo, you’re coming too?”
“Yes. Woo Hyun will stay late too. Tae Jo, you’ll be there, right?”
“Depends.”
“If you ditch your friends and go back to Seoul alone, your car will get a flat tire.”
“Stop cursing me.”
Tae Jo frowned, prompting Kang Sung Moo to chuckle beside him. He reassured Tae Jo that he would hide his car keys well.
“Se Kyung, come by for a bit to relax. It’s a good time to greet people from the company.”
Encouraged by Kang Sung Moo’s words, Se Kyung nodded in agreement.
“Je Hoon was also disappointed he couldn’t go last year. I’ll consider joining too.”
“Great. See you there then.”
Woo Hyun quickly left after saying goodbye, and Seok Joo also stood up. He addressed Se Kyung, who was still seated.
“Uh? Aren’t you leaving, Se Kyung?”
“Me? Oh, yes. I’m leaving too…”
“Se Kyung, stay here for a minute. I have something to discuss with you.”
Tae Jo gave Seok Joo a look as if telling him to leave.
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~
