The shooting didn’t end until after midnight. Taeseok, who endured it with an unknown mental state, felt no relief even though the lights were turned off. It was the worst acting of his entire acting career. He couldn’t bring himself to monitor this part later.
Sending a signal to Director Hong that he would go to the car first, Taeseok turned his steps towards the van. Director Hong was listening to the schedule for the month from the assistant director.
“There was an accident this month, Manager-nim.”
“Oh, that traffic accident?”
Director Hong, jotting down the information on his phone, asked absentmindedly.
“Yes. I’ve secured a stunt actor, but does Taeseok-nim have a separate stunt actor to work with?”
“Ah, the stunt actor. That guy.”
Director Hong, who was actively jotting down, stopped his hand and frowned.
“Well, there was one.”
A few years ago, Taeseok had a period when he starred in many action movies, so he had contracted with a dedicated stunt actor.
It wasn’t easy to find someone with a similar height and physique, and adjusting the combination each time was also a task. Therefore, having one person to work with for a long time was convenient in many ways.
However, that actor got into an accident. His popularity soared to the level of matching Taeseok’s, and under the influence of alcohol, he assaulted a woman in the middle of the street.
He was arrested for the incident, and since Taeseok took a break from shooting for a while, he didn’t bother finding a stunt double.
“Anyway, things got complicated, so this time I’ll go with the person Director Jo recommended.”
“Yes.”
The assistant director, after diligently noting down the details in his notebook, suddenly seemed to recall something.
“Oh! Right. The stunt actor who worked with Seo Taeseok a few years ago! Wow. What a shame. That person’s back looked exactly like Taeseok-nim’s.”
“That’s true. If only he hadn’t caused that accident…”
Just as the two were talking about it, Yoo-young suddenly intervened.
“My car suddenly won’t start. Director Hong, could you drop me off on your way?”
Since Yoo-young’s house was on the way to Taeseok’s, it wasn’t a difficult task. Director Hong agreed immediately. Taeseok had no objections; he welcomed the idea that even Yoo-young’s shadow would pass by.
“Sure. Get in.”
Young climbed into the car and greeted Taeseok.
“Thank you. As a thank-you for the ride, I’ll treat you to a cup of coffee.”
“At one in the morning.”
Taeseok scolded. Young shrugged her shoulders and spoke again.
“Drop me off in front of my house. After all, I’m an actress.”
“Well, you look like a kid to me.”
Although Young pouted, she didn’t seem upset. Even if he didn’t bring it up, she would have followed him on her own. That’s how Seo Taeseok was.
“What do you mean, a kid? I have plenty of guys who think I’m attractive.”
“So, have you ever dated anyone?”
As Taeseok gently teased, Young turned her gaze outside the window. The car was entering the entrance of an apartment complex.
“I don’t date.”
Taeseok raised an eyebrow gently, and Young’s smiling face appeared through the car window. She knew he had no feelings for her, but an old love found its way back to her like a habit.
On this late night when darkness settled deeply, when someone asked about love, her face came to mind as if she were someone expecting something.
“Oh. Yooyoung. Who’s there?”
Taeseok couldn’t fail to recognize that attitude. Like an older brother listening to his younger sister’s love story, he asked with a mixture of joking and caution. Young kept silent for no reason.
Finally, the car came to a complete stop.
“Joking like this makes me think of the old days.”
Young spoke as she picked up her belongings.
“We used to have so much fun together. All four of us, including Director Hong. Right?”
This time, Taeseok didn’t respond.
“Let’s go up. If Summer unnie isn’t sleeping, let’s have a drink on the excuse of that.”
She didn’t have to say anything grand like a Yeouido bridge, but Young did her best to help the two. Taeseok couldn’t leave him alone for long, and she knew exactly what name was left unwritten in Summer’s empty diary.
It was a night filled with such feelings.
There was a slight struggle in front of the entrance, but eventually, Ji-hyeok entered the house. He earnestly persuaded stubborn Yeoreum to sit on the sofa and personally took out ice, making a cold pack.
“We came from Imo’s store, and you got hurt. I have a responsibility too.”
He firmly spoke, cutting off Yeoreum’s guilt at its source.
“And what’s this hot pack? You don’t even know. For swollen areas, you use a cold pack. If it weren’t for me, what would you have done?”
“I was going to search again.”
Without waiting for Ji-hyeok’s response, Yeoreum fixed the pack tightly on her ankle, and Ji-hyeok drank a glass of water. Yeoreum’s house, which he briefly glanced at, was small, charming, and filled with various cute things.
The house looked just like Choi Yeoreum. He wanted to be formally invited and come again next time.
“I’ll use the bathroom for a moment. Wash my face a bit.”
“Sure. Over there.”
To erase unnecessary thoughts, Ji-hyeok intentionally washed his face with cold water. He had to consider tomorrow’s shoot, and the manager waiting on the first floor would be tired.
After standing for a while, pondering, Ji-hyeok concluded that he shouldn’t delay any longer. He made up his mind to go back, turned from the bathroom, and found Yeoreum sleeping on the sofa.
“Ha, this girl sleeps really well when she drinks.”
He glanced at Yeoreum with a clenched fist as if threatening her.
“A dangerous woman.”
Even though he said that, he didn’t approach her, knowing that the most dangerous thing right now was himself. After staring at Yeoreum for a while, Ji-hyeok finally turned away with a bitter smile.
It seemed he wouldn’t go as far as to move her to the bed. That was too much of a temptation, and he didn’t even know which room was Yeoreum’s among the two closed doors.
Soon, Yoo-young would come.
Thinking that way, he opened the front door and met the gaze of two men and women standing in front of the entrance.
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:
