Yeoreum’s mind became instantly tangled. The main storyline she had in mind was based on Lee Seol and Hyun-jun Lee getting together.
Now, if she had to connect her with Kim Min-jun, many small episodes would need to change. It looked like several more sleepless nights were ahead.
And yet.
“I can’t do it. Kissing the best friend of the woman I loved.”
Loved.
A seemingly insignificant past tense word, yet it poked at her heart.
“I’ll try to revise it.”
Although she didn’t like the ending Tae-seok suggested, there was no point in arguing since she had decided not to contradict him. Yeoreum picked up the script again from the table.
Tae-seok’s gaze fixated on her pale fingertips.
[Star Icon]“I’m sorry, Ji-hyeok. I really can’t make time right now.”
Yeoreum apologized earnestly into the phone.
They had planned to donate blankets to a stray dog shelter. Yeoreum had forgotten about it, not setting a specific date, but Ji-hyeok had apparently been gathering them discreetly.
[Then, how about the following week?]“It seems like I won’t be able to for a while.”
Yeoreum’s voice grew smaller, filled with regret.
[Can’t you make time even once before we start shooting? I’ll be really busy once the shooting starts.]“Um. If I can make time, I’ll definitely contact you.”
She thought about asking Tae-seok for a day off, but it seemed unlikely. Yeoreum hung her head.
[Ji-hyeok, are you locked up doing part-time work somewhere? Why do you never have time?]
Ji-hyeok’s words were likely meant in jest, but to Yeoreum, they struck a chord. She felt almost trapped in her current situation, and a bitter smile escaped her lips.
Every moment facing her ex-boyfriend, who seems to hate her.
She doubted he knew how even a small gesture from him could make her heart flutter uncontrollably.
Of course, he shouldn’t know.
Yeoreum shook her head and wrapped up the call.
“I’m sorry.”
[Okay. You owe me a meal later.]Ji-hyeok’s disappointed voice lingered as she hung up. Immediately, an unknown number called. Yeoreum hesitated but eventually answered.
[How have you been, Choi Yeoreum?]It was the voice of Hong Min-woo, a senior she was always glad to hear, even after years.
“Min-woo senior?”
Hearing Director Hong’s voice made her situation sink in. The relationships she thought had ended were reconnecting. When she and Tae-seok broke up, her ties with Director Hong had also been severed. Essentially, that was also a farewell with him.
[Long time no see.]“Indeed. Long time no see, senior.”
Laughter filled both ends of the phone, breaking down the barriers of time like old friends do.
Now that she was entangled with Tae-seok again, keeping distance from Director Hong seemed pointless.
Director Hong felt somewhat relieved hearing Yeoreum’s brighter voice than expected. He was worried she might be downhearted due to Tae-seok’s harassment.
Seeking a quiet spot, Director Hong opened the door to the emergency stairs. The newly built HJ Planning building had such efficient elevators that the stairs were rarely used.
“Yeoreum, Tae-seok is so stubborn. Eventually, it came to this. Your drama.”
[Yeah.]“I tried hard to stop him, you know. Really. But you know how stubborn he is.”
Yeoreum chuckled softly from the other end of the line.
“We should meet sometime. I’ve missed you. Searched for you a lot.”
[We can see each other. At his house. I’m there every day.]Yeoreum replied shortly. Director Hong sighed, sensing a hint of resignation in her matter-of-fact tone.
“Yeah, right. That crazy guy. Calling you to his house every day for what?”
[Just rewriting the script. It’s manageable.]“So why does he make you write at his house? I mean, he’s my friend, but his personality…”
[It’s okay. A month will pass quickly. I just have to endure it.]Director Hong shook his head, saddened by the resignation in Yeoreum’s voice.
“I should have argued more.”
[I’m fine, really. I’ve adapted.]After a few more minutes of exchanging updates, the call ended as Yeoreum arrived at Tae-seok’s house.
[I have to go in now, senior. We’ll talk again later. I’ll save your number.]“Okay. Take care. I might drop by Tae-seok’s later, maybe we can meet.”
After hanging up, Director Hong lightly climbed the stairs. Coincidentally, he bumped into CEO Ji-hyeon Jeong at the entrance.
“Oh, CEO?”
CEO Jeong raised her eyebrows, speaking coldly.
“Director Hong, what did I just hear? What’s Tae-seok up to with whom?”
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~
