Tour guests expressed their admiration while enjoying various spots in the village. The panoramic view of the beach from above was beautiful, but the charming houses and shops, resembling scenes from a fairy tale, also captured people’s attention.
Some people were buying things from souvenir shops scattered around, while others were capturing the unforgettable scenery with photographs.
While Yeonju continued to absorb the always-beautiful scenery, someone approached and asked, “Guide, could you take a picture for us?”
Yeonju turned her head to find one of the tour guests standing there. She was a thirty-year-old woman who had come on the trip with her mother. The mother stood in a spot overlooking the sea.
The person who had talked to Jinwook on the bus and hadn’t stopped talking throughout the tour was this guest.
“Yes, I’ll take the picture.”
Yeonju took the camera, and the mother and daughter posed affectionately.
“Mom, smile a bit.”
“What’s the use of taking pictures when I’m already old and nothing looks pretty?”
“Oh, come on. This is the time to take pictures; when else would you do it?”
Throughout the tour, the mother and daughter chatted happily, taking care of each other. They held hands wherever they went, and during meal times, they would put delicious food into each other’s bowls.
After taking several pictures from different angles, Yeonju handed the camera back to the guests.
“Thank you.”
“No problem. You both look very nice.”
Seeing the heartwarming mother-daughter scene, Yeonju smiled contentedly.
“Our daughter is getting married in June this year. I’m okay with it, but she insisted that we must travel now because it becomes difficult after marriage. Especially in Europe, it might be even more challenging. Our daughter is truly filial.”
“You’ve thought well. After marriage, it might be harder to find time, and people might notice it. Moreover, in Europe, it could be even more challenging. Your daughter is indeed filial.”
“Our daughter is filial. She’s been an obedient child, taking care of everything, even when her dad was in the hospital for six years until he passed away.”
“Oh, Mom, why are you bringing up those stories now? Anyway, thank you, Guide.”
Watching the mother and daughter gradually move away while chatting, Yeonju’s gaze became tender.
It was because their image overlapped with that of Mi-hyun and herself.
If Mom were alive, I might have come here with her.
Mom would have liked it for sure…
It was a moment when longing for Mi-hyun was etched in her heart, and her eyes turned slightly red.
“Guide, please take a picture for me too.”
A deep voice was heard from the side.
Yeonju turned her head. Facing her was Jinwook, holding out his phone.
“….”
Yeonju was perplexed. Throughout the tour, Jinwook had not spoken to Yeonju or taken any particular actions. He quietly enjoyed the sightseeing spots and historical sites following the guide’s instructions, and during lunchtime, he just ate without saying anything.
However, from time to time, he would look at Yeonju intently. Each time, Yeonju pretended not to notice and looked elsewhere or moved her steps.
Suddenly, Jinwook, who had been silent like a stranger, was now asking her to take a picture with his phone, and it made Yeonju feel uncomfortable.
Ignoring his words, Yeonju turned her head again. Then, Jinwook spoke in a slightly louder voice.
“You’re discriminating against customers. Some you take pictures for, and some you don’t.”
“….”
Yeonju, with a bewildered expression, scanned her surroundings. The tour guests passing by were looking at Jinwook with puzzled eyes after hearing his words.
Feeling conscious of others’ gazes, Yeonju reluctantly took the phone. At that moment, Jinwook gestured to one side and said, “Take the picture over there. It seems more picturesque in that direction.”
Jinwook walked in the direction he pointed. The place where he stopped had fewer tourists and offered a clear view of the beach.
As he settled there, Yeonju quickly took several pictures with her phone camera. Then, she approached him and handed him the phone. Watching Jinwook check the photos, Yeonju asked, “What on earth are you doing?”
“What?”
“Why are you doing this here?”
“Isn’t it my freedom to go wherever during the trip?”
Nonchalantly responding, Jinwook turned his head to look at the vast beach.
“Anyway, I wanted to come here. I’ve been to Europe several times for work, but I’ve never properly toured. Now, through this guided tour, I plan to explore properly.”
“…”
“I get to see the faces I want to see and do sightseeing, killing two birds with one stone.”
The eyes containing the sea sparkled in cobalt blue.
“They say this is a place you must visit before you die, and it’s not just empty words. I’m lucky to come here before I die.”
Yeonju glanced at him for a moment. With the warm sunlight casting shadows on his face, his features shone brightly.
Black hair fluttered in the sea breeze, naturally covering his forehead. Jinwook, standing against the backdrop of the blue sea, looked like a picturesque painting.
Jinwook remained unchanged. His distinctive facial features were still evident, and his broad shoulders, as vast as the sea, remained the same. His dark and deep eyes were unchanged, as was his unique aura.
If anything had changed from before, it was that he seemed to have lost weight, making his jawline slightly sharper.
At that moment, Jinwook shifted his gaze and looked at Yeonju. When their eyes met, Yeonju immediately turned her head away.
Jinwook, seeing Yeonju turning away, spoke gently.
“Did you know?”
“…”
“There’s not a single picture of you on my phone.”
Jinwook looked at the photos on his phone with a bitter expression.
“I didn’t know.”
“…”
“After you left, I wanted to see your face, so I thought of looking at a picture… but even after searching through my phone, there wasn’t a single photo of you.”
Instead of pictures of Yeonju, his phone gallery was filled with work-related documents.
Jinwook’s eyes gradually became darker.
“I regretted it.”
“…”
“If only I had taken even one photo.”
The regret-laden voice dispersed into a subdued murmur.
“I should have shared at least one meal a day with you.”
“…”
“We should have talked more.”
“…”
“We should have taken some time on the weekends, even if it was just to visit nearby places.”
“…”
“Since you left, every day has been filled with regret.”
Every day was a series of regrets. It was unbearable, feeling resentment toward her own indifference and foolishness.
“I know you’ve been through a lot. The fact that you didn’t trust me enough to share that pain was something I couldn’t bear.”
“…”
“I don’t want to do anything that I’ll regret anymore.”
Jinwook stared directly at Yeonju as he spoke.
“I won’t repeat the same life as before.”
After she left, he earnestly conveyed the countless resolutions he had made alone.
“I won’t let you endure it alone from now on.”
“…”
“I won’t leave you lonely.”
With a tender yet firm gaze, he met her eyes.
“Yeonju.”
“…”
“Give me another chance.”
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.
