Yesterday, after returning to the accommodation and having a simple breakfast with the scones bought on the way, Se-gyeong and Tae-jo started preparing for their outing together.
The first place the two visited was a temple located near the sea. Wearing a floppy hat and a sky-blue dress, Se-gyeong walked arm in arm with Tae-jo, exploring the temple grounds.
Perhaps because it was a weekday morning, there weren’t many people around. Se-gyeong even placed coins on a large stone to pray for the safe birth of anko (sweet red bean paste). She also went into the temple to pray for the well-being of the baby.
Descending to the wide rocks connecting to the sea, they observed a school of yellow corvinas splashing in the water. On the way down to the parking lot, Se-gyeong purchased a wish amulet for safe childbirth and wore it on her arm.
“What do you want for lunch?”
Tae-jo asked Se-gyeong as they got into the car. Without hesitation, she replied, “Buckwheat noodles. I’ve been craving it since we found that great restaurant yesterday.”
Thinking of the vivid red seasoning, her mouth watered.
She entered the restaurant’s address into the navigation system. Following the guidance, Tae-jo drove while Se-gyeong leaned against the seat as if exhausted.
“Are you tired?”
“A bit. I feel heavier than before. Even walking for a short while makes my legs swell quickly.”
Se-gyeong tapped her calves, which felt swollen, with her fists. At that moment, a new message arrived on her phone inside her bag.
“Who is it?”
“Jae-hoon. He said he went out for a night with Manager Seok-joo yesterday. He’s probably heading back to Seoul now. Oh, Tae-jo knows, right? I received a proposal for a maternity photoshoot.”
“Yeah. Are you going to do it?”
“I’m considering it. It seems like it would be nice to have them, but are you okay? You’re already struggling, would it be okay?”
“If you want to do it, do it. I’ll make sure the process is not too strenuous on your side. It won’t be a lot of shooting.”
Se-gyeong waited for Tae-jo’s response, turning her head. He, who had been drumming his fingers on the steering wheel, finally opened his mouth.
“If you want to do it, go ahead. I’ll arrange for one more person to be there that day. Just know that.”
“Got it. After the photoshoot, let’s also book a studio and take pictures together. Since it’s the first child, there should be a photo with dad, right?”
Se-gyeong caressed her swollen belly. As she lightly touched it, a subtle movement could be felt from inside.
“Huh?”
Wide-eyed, Se-gyeong looked at Tae-jo. Understanding his gaze, she took his hand and placed it on her stomach.
Float.
“…!”
As a small pulsating feeling was felt beneath his palm, Tae-jo’s lips involuntarily loosened.
“It seems the baby is kicking now.”
As if understanding Tae-jo’s words, Se-gyeong’s belly vibrated again.
The red sun hanging on the horizon was sinking beneath the sea.
As the warm breeze carrying the scent of the sea followed the waves, Se-gyeong spread one arm wide, savoring the smell of the sea.
“Wow, it feels great.”
Se-gyeong smiled widely like a child. After eating dessert on Gangneung’s cafe street and briefly exploring Sokcho Market, the two unexpectedly found themselves on a beach near their accommodation.
As the day faded, families who came out for a walk began to appear on the beach, which surfers had occupied. Se-gyeong, holding Tae-jo’s hand, walked on the sandy shore, weaving through the families.
“I’m disappointed because we’re leaving tomorrow.”
Between their toes, thin sand flowed in as they walked. As the incoming seawater made Se-gyeong stagger slightly, Tae-jo pulled her waist to steady her.
“If it’s a shame, should we stay a few more days?”
“Is that okay?”
“What’s not okay? Woo-hyun might have a bit of a hard time, though.”
Se-gyeong burst into a light laugh. Earlier in the day, Kang Sang-mu had called her while they were at the cafe. Apparently, during the day, Seok-joo had teased Woo-hyun. They sent pictures of the food they had given to Se-gyeong and even sent a picture of Tae-jo eating ramen sitting cross-legged.
After seeing that, Kang Sang-mu called Tae-jo to express his lament. He complained about being lonely in the office while they were enjoying delicious food and dating in Gangwon Province.
“I start to resent Mr. Kang.”
“He told you to. He’s not even taking a vacation.”
“Is it because of the vacation? Mr. Kang probably wants to be in the same place as his friends… Oh, oh my!”
As a boy playing on the sandy shore abruptly fell, Se-gyeong exclaimed in surprise.
She approached the child and helped him stand. Brushing off the sand from his face, the child looked at Se-gyeong and opened his mouth.
“… Belly.”
“Huh?”
Wondering what he meant, Se-gyeong tilted her head. As if to explain, the boy pointed at Se-gyeong’s slightly swollen belly.
“Just like my mom. A baby’s coming out.”
“Oh, your mom is pregnant?”
“Yeah. My sibling! Inside mom’s belly.”
The boy, who seemed like he might cry at any moment, said proudly.
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?
