Fortunately, he had prepaid the room rent for several months, so he wasn’t immediately worried about being kicked out. However, the problem was the living expenses.
Although he sent a letter to a trustworthy university friend asking for help, he didn’t know when that letter would arrive.
Thanks to that, Leon had been drawing for two days without eating. He was working on a landscape painting of a small village viewed from a shabby hill he found about ten days ago.
An artist is supposed to be hungry. This was also a good experience. Thinking so, Leon tried to focus on his work.
“…….”.
What interrupted his concentration was a gaze from afar.
A woman with a pale face and quiet eyes.
She was a woman who had been looking at him from a distance almost every day since he started drawing here.
In fact, it was hard to guess the age of an Asian from just the face.
With no facial makeup, she looked like a teenage girl, but thinking back, all the students he saw in the village wore school uniforms. So, he guessed she might be an adult.
Seeing her at the same time every day, it seemed that this hill was on her way. Every time, the woman would stare at him from a distance for a while.
At first, Leon wondered if she might be interested in him, but he soon realized that wasn’t the case. A few days ago, when he briefly left and came back, he found her looking at his drawings.
Approaching her stealthily as she lost herself in the drawing, Leon casually started a conversation.
[Do you like it?]However, as soon as he spoke, the woman ran away like a startled rabbit.
[No, it’s okay to look slowly…….]He tried to grab her in a hurry, but she didn’t look back.
Most people in this country were like that. Whether it was because they were not confident in their English skills, whenever a foreigner approached, they would first be frightened.
Although a few more words would reveal that they were generally kind, unfortunately, she didn’t give him the chance.
After that, even if he felt her gaze, he pretended not to notice on purpose. Although she seemed to like his drawings, he didn’t want to approach and speak to her again, fearing that it might cause her to avoid him forever.
In other words, for Leon, she was like the first fan he ever gained.
‘If only I could talk, I’d draw what you like.’
Regretfully thinking, he drew for a long time until he pretended to stretch and turn around. By then, the woman was gone.
Leon felt a sense of emptiness. At the same time, the hunger he had momentarily forgotten because of the woman revived.
Unable to endure it any longer, Leon folded the canvas and went down to the city. With this money, what could he buy at the market? Stopping his steps while touching a few coins in his pocket, he found himself in front of a small restaurant.
A mouth-watering aroma wafted from inside. It was somewhat similar to the scent of Indian curry that occasionally appeared on the dormitory menu, but less intense and much more fragrant.
The desire to eat became unbearable.
Leon hesitated. Even if he could manage to communicate somehow, he only knew a few restaurant greetings in Korean.
While contemplating, the delicious smell became increasingly intense.
He wanted to see it at least with his eyes. He peered through the glass wall at the customers dining inside. As expected, someone was eating something that looked like curry, topping it on white rice.
The steamy dish, with its tempting aroma, looked more delicious to Leon than any feast he had ever had in his life. If he could take just one bite of it, he felt he could sell his soul.
Staring at the food for a long time with hungry eyes, Leon suddenly realized that the waitress, the same woman, was gazing back at him from behind the counter.
…It was her.
In that moment of realization, he felt his face burning. Leon quickly turned around and left the place as if escaping.
‘Darn.’
In embarrassment, he had even momentarily forgotten about hunger.
What did she think of me?
Leon returned to the hillside. Hunger and embarrassment were forgotten only through drawing.
He desperately moved the brush to capture the last sunset glow over the village. And when the sunset was almost gone.
“Excuse me.”
A cautious voice came from behind. Startled, he turned around, and there she was, the waitress.
She looked at Leon’s canvas and suddenly mumbled.
[We didn’t realize how beautiful our village is.]Grammar and pronunciation were a mess, but he could understand well enough. Anyway, the fact that she could speak English was enough to bring tears of joy.
[Thank you.]Receiving the first compliment in his life as an artist, Leon felt a mix of happiness and a bit of disappointment. It wasn’t really about him but the drawing.
Leon slightly moved aside to allow her a better view of the painting. After staring at the drawing for a while, she suddenly held something out.
[Um, this.]Inside a plastic case in a plastic bag, the delicious aroma from the restaurant hit him as soon as he opened it.
It was food with yellow curry on white rice.
He should say thank you, he should say he survived because of her. Somehow, words wouldn’t come out easily, as if his throat was blocked.
While he foolishly remained speechless, she handed him the lunchbox and took a step back.
[I’ll come again tomorrow.] [Star icon]“Chairman, the curry is ready.”
At the stewardess’s kind voice, Leon opened his eyes. Before him lay curry rice with steam rising.
“Thank you.”
Taking a spoonful of curry to his mouth, Leon mumbled in his heart.
‘Just stay there a little longer. Until I go.’
Seoul was getting closer.
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.

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.
