Overwhelmed by the abrupt resignation thrown at him by Ra Jin, Jae Heon was in a state of shock that could not be fully expressed by the word ‘agitated’.
He had never thought that Ra Jin would ever leave his side.
“Did I upset you?”
“No, you didn’t.”
“You can tell me honestly. You know, I’m quite generous with my secretary.”
His words were true.
Feeling special due to Jae Heon’s attitude, which strangely softened towards her, Ra Jin could not easily escape from the fever of unrequited love.
“I guess I’ve been feeling a little tired lately.”
Tired? Jae Heon’s eyes narrowed.
After all, for the past few years, his schedule had been extremely busy with checking on his stepfather and achieving results.
It made sense that Ra Jin, who had been keeping up with his schedule without a hitch, would be tired.
“I see. You can leave now.”
With her head bowed, she left his office.
As the door closed with a bang, Jae Heon sighed lightly and washed his face.
Just the thought that Ra Jin might leave him was enough to make his heart sink.
There probably wasn’t anyone else who could make him feel as comfortable and fit as well with him as she did.
“I guess I’ll have to start taking care of my health first.”
((()))((()))((()))
A few days had passed.
But Jae Heon’s confrontation and Ra Jin’s resignation still lingered deeply in their minds, showing no signs of fading.
So, one day, when they finished a small project.
Jae Heon suggested dinner to Ra Jin.
Of course, she would refuse. It had always been like that.
But, as always, he made the offer. Jae Heon’s proposal and Ra Jin’s refusal had almost become a ritual between them.
“Secretary, you’ve been working hard.”
“I’ve just done my duty.”
The conversation flowed as usual.
“Shall we have dinner together? I’ll pay, as a sign of my appreciation.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“I knew this would happen, so I already packaged…”
Jae Heon paused, blinking.
“Secretary Ra, by any chance…”
“You didn’t hear wrong.”
Ra Jin ended the conversation.
“I told you I wanted to have dinner with you.”
Upon hearing that, Jae Heon let out a serious expression.
“…5 years.”
“Pardon?”
“The time it takes for a handover. At least 5 years.”
Suddenly, what’s with this unrelated talk?
“Did Secretary Ra ever accept my meal proposal? As far as I can remember, it never happened.”
“That’s correct.”
“There’s always a reason when people start doing things they didn’t do before.”
“If you don’t want to, I’ll retract it…”
“Who said I don’t want to?”
Such a quick temper. Takes after the boss, it seems.
“Let’s go eat.”
At the sight of Ra Jin, who seemed about to turn back at any moment, Jae Heon took the lead.
“Director.”
“It’s too late now. No retraction.”
“No, that’s not it.”
Ra Jin cleared her throat slightly, looking down as she spoke.
“I can’t eat spicy food. If you could take that into consideration, I’d appreciate it.”
She spoke shyly with an embarrassed expression, looking incredibly adorable.
“Of course.”
A faint smile hung on the lips of Jae Heon, who was leading the way.
((()))((()))((()))
The place Jae Heon took her to was surprisingly a simple meal house.
A small place that changed its menu daily according to the owner’s heart, the ingredients were fresh, the food tasted excellent, and the atmosphere was comforting.
“Why do you look so surprised?”
“Ah… I thought it would be one of the places you usually go to.”
She had been expecting a grand, lavish place with several employees. It was unexpected.
“Don’t you like it?”
He asked with a seemingly indifferent gaze, but there was caution in Jae Heon’s voice.
Ra Jin took a quiet look inside the restaurant.
From the clean swept and scrubbed corners, to the decorations made from plants picked from the backyard garden and orchard, it was clear that the owner cherished this space.
She liked the grand and luxurious restaurants where he held business meetings, but she also really liked this neat and warm restaurant.
“No, I like it. It’s cute and cozy.”
Only then did Jae Heon let out a faint smile, looking relieved.
“It’s a hideout for me and my grandfather. I don’t bring just anyone here.”
For a moment, Ra Jin stared at him, forgetting even to breathe.
Despite his cranky character that people either strongly liked or disliked, everyone agreed that Jae Heon was handsome, regardless of their preference.
“Even Yun Hee couldn’t deny that he was a handsome man that one would never tire of seeing daily.
To smile so sweetly with such an enchanting appearance.
Especially at this timing when she had decided to suppress her feelings towards him.
Ra Jin bit her trembling lips lightly and averted her gaze from him.
If she continued to look at Jae Heon’s face like this, she felt she might be more captivated by him.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Ah… No, it’s nothing.”
“It’s not like you to trail off in your speech.”
His expression became serious.
It seemed that Ra Jin had already firmly set her mind on resigning.
‘It’s serious. Just like me, once the secretary makes a decision, she’s not the type to easily change her mind.’
Sighing deeply, Jae Heon looked at her with a serious gaze.
“I would like you to hear me out before you make your decision.”
“…?”
“I’ve thought about it.”
Jae Heon’s lips parted slowly after a brief pause.
“I think I can’t do without a secretary.”
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.
