Was there a proposal like this to settle the debt all at once?
“As you get to know me, you’ll find out. Even without contact information, finding one person isn’t that difficult.”
He was a person full of confidence from the bottom, coming to a resolution with just one clap of his hands.
Perhaps, after coming out of one muddy pond, he might be entering another muddy pond, thought Doeum.
“Name, Kang Doeum. Age, twenty-five. Shingil-ro 11, Heungseo-dong. A neighborhood slated for demolition soon, so even if it’s evacuated, there seems to be no substantial compensation. I paid off the 240 million won debt from my stepfather’s loan and the 2,000 won debt my mother took out in my name. My biological mother left quite some time ago, and currently, my stepfather is working part-time to pay off the debt. Fourth-year student majoring in business administration at a Korean university. Took a one-year leave of absence to pay off living expenses and debts, but there’s no problem graduating with top grades throughout the semester, not missing out on scholarships.”
Samsung-dong Bando Construction Review Tower, 17th floor.
Snap, snap, snap.
While listening to the report, Jiwan’s fingertips tapping the mahogany desk created a rhythmic noise.
Uiseok quickly noticed that this was a habit of a man when he had concerns.
He had been managing him since Jiwan entered practical business in the United States, making it an 8-year partnership.
Having worked together day in and day out, Uiseok could read the boss’s mood with just the movement of his eyebrows.
A man who didn’t talk much and had no easy-to-read expressions, making it hard to understand his intentions.
Without coaching, he carried himself with formality and manners like a royal family member, yet he never revealed that he was from the royal family.
Until Lady Jang’s call in Korea, he was cautious and discreet enough that no one knew he was associated with Bando-ga.
Now, that man seemed quite anxious.
“Do you have concerns?”
“There seems to be no other option.”
If that’s the case, there’s no need to hesitate further, but the man was clearly hesitating.
“I was born and raised this way. So I wonder if this woman by my side can handle the contempt she’s accustomed to now.”
“If you’re worried about Miss Doeum…”
“I know my own situation; there’s nothing to worry about.”
Although he said that, the man’s feelings would be different when he didn’t know Doeum’s situation and after knowing it.
It was a concern that he might add more pain to the already stained life of the woman with wounds.
In the three letters of the name Kang Doeum, the man’s thoughts deepened.
Even if you wonder which parents would name their child like that,
it might be possible if you think about the benevolent meaning of the word ‘help.’
“It’s a name given by my father, who wanted me to become a person who helps the world.”
Reading Jiwan’s thoughts, Uiseok added.
Helping someone by doing something well would also be a form of assistance.
“It’s impressive.”
Under the wiping hand, the crimson pyramid-shaped cuff button of D Corporation shone.
“I looked into it, and although it could be a problem later, my relationship with men is very clean. I confessed to a few men, but each time, they rejected me, citing a lack of financial resources.”
Turning the office chair around, Jiwan shifted his gaze through the large window overlooking the city center.
He wasn’t ugly.
He wasn’t exceptionally handsome, either, but…
It was an untouched, clear, and pure feeling.
Generally, that kind of purity is the first to disappear in a harsh society.
The remaining ‘innocence’ in a woman who had lived more harshly than anyone else was quite fascinating.
“I’ve done everything that could make money. From tutoring to assisting in the demolition of stores and moving into new places. Probably, it wasn’t easy to pay off the debt with a student status of 2,000.”
There might have been ways to easily make money without torturing herself too much.
People who are chased by money are often vulnerable to such temptations.
If you give me money, I’ll do anything—cleaning, odd jobs, and even get married. But that’s the limit for a woman.
In the midst of a tough life, is it about letting go of everything, including pride and whatnot, but there’s one thing that must be preserved?
It wasn’t that bad.
As someone clearly in a superior position in this proposal, it was somewhat refreshing that, despite being someone with a clear advantage, his style was not to deceive with words. Understanding what kind of person he would be as a husband was also intriguing.
“In the eyes of Director Han, is she capable enough for this role?”
Uiseok answered while putting down the documents.
“If it’s a marriage that will be settled emotionally after just a few months, compared to the women I brought over the past two months, I believe she is more outstanding than anyone.”
Looking down at the bustling city, Jiwan turned the chair around and stood up.
“Let’s go meet the bride.”
“I don’t even know your contact information, yet you’re telling me it’s not a big deal to find a person like this.”
Placing two cups of coffee on the white plastic table with a loud thud, Doeum spoke.
“I would’ve told you to find out for yourself.”
“I did find out. You’re quite impressive. Because you’re so remarkable, you had to come dressed up like this, with a person in tow, and even follow someone to a place like this, right?”
Korea University, Main Building restaurant and coffee shop.
The gaze of many students scanned the luxury-clad man, who looked like a model from head to toe, and the man in black horn-rimmed glasses following closely behind.
You might think he’s a celebrity, I thought so too.
A man who wouldn’t even soil a speck of sand under his cheap shoes ran a 2,000-won coffee shop in the company cafeteria, and that was far from the truth.
“I had to come here because Doeum’s next task is to clean the swimming pool shower room. There was no choice.”
Instead of Jiwan, Uiseok, who provided additional explanations, said only what he needed to say and stepped back a couple of paces.
“Did you already investigate me?”
“For someone who’s going to be my wife, isn’t investigating a natural thing?”
After spitting it out, Jiwan, who examined the woman’s surprised face, added, “You’ve investigated me too, haven’t you?”
“Well, yes.”
“Well, if you like it?”
With a leisurely gesture of spreading his arms on the backrest of the chair, the low sighs of the crowded female students followed.
“Well, whether you like it or not, it’s a marriage that will last at most a year.”
In response to the uncomfortable gaze, Doeum added, “Wait here; it’s only 10 minutes.”
With an indifferent expression, the man pushed the paper cup in front of her aside, implying that he wasn’t offering her such things to eat.
“Well, suit yourself.”
The excited Doeum got up from her seat.
Seeing the name “Kong Dabang” written on the blue apron, Jiwan’s forehead wrinkled slightly.
Kong Dabang indeed.
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 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.
