As Minwoo finished speaking, the staff chuckled softly. Jiho also responded with a similar smile. Amidst the laughter softly echoing here and there, a low voice that could only be heard by Hye-yoon descended.
“He’s a ghost.”
The wind blew from his whispered words. Exactly, happiness.
“I must have put in a lot of red pepper paste. The tteokbokki is a bit bland.”
The next scene took place at a snack bar nearby that had been booked in advance. Hye-yoon was already playing with one tteokbokki that came out as a prop. As soon as she brought one to Jiho’s mouth, he also opened his mouth wide.
Jiho looked at Hye-yoon while chewing on a piece of tteok. She was still chewing, perhaps because her mouth was small.
“You’re really good at cooking.”
“Me? No, I’m not good at all.”
“Why are you so humble? I’ve tried it before. The day you made breakfast.”
“Oh, that…”
Hye-yoon, who had been speaking briefly, quickened her pace at her mumbling mouth. Soon after swallowing with a gulp, she showed a satisfied smile. Her mouth, which was lovely even when eating, remained beautiful when hesitatingly open, revealing a shy appearance.
“Did you enjoy the beef radish soup?”
“Yes, a lot.”
“I’m relieved. Actually… I can only cook beef radish soup.”
“Huh?”
One of Jiho’s eyebrows twitched in bewilderment. A somewhat embarrassed light tinted Hye-yoon’s face delicately.
“As for side dishes… my mom made them all.”
“Hehe. Crazy.”
“How do you feel inside? But I really made the soup and rice…”
Slowly and hesitantly. Every time her eyelids moved, a small tremor of excitement accumulated. A slight restlessness was also present.
Watching the tender heart that she couldn’t hide as always, Jiho put a piece of fried food next to the tteokbokki into Hye-yoon’s mouth. Along with an answer that she would like.
“I find soup and rice the most delicious.”
“Hmm…”
The lips that tightly held the fried food made a soft sound. With a crisp sound rising and a slightly raised lip corner. What kind of emotion replaced the anxiety? Jiho smiled warmly, watching her.
“Do you really like it that much?”
“No. I have to tell my mom. Mr. Jiho said the side dishes weren’t good.”
“Wow…”
It seemed like a joke. Hye-yoon, who was about to laugh again, put another piece of fried food into Jiho’s mouth, just like before.
Although the location changed, the atmosphere remained the same. The assistant director, who joined a little later, approached Minwoo. Watching the same monitor as Minwoo, apparently, they shared similar sentiments. His voice was mischievous.
“Looks like you two really like each other?”
“Yes. I suppressed it. Just shoot it roughly.”
Just like the two people on the monitor, these two also laughed with the same emotions. However, soon there was a worry on the assistant director’s face.
“Even after Ms. Hye-yoon left the set for the first time, I hope she remains this funny. Right now… it’s a mess.”
“Well, it’ll calm down for a moment.”
“That moment is too amazing. Because of Mr. Jiho.”
Suddenly, three days later, the first broadcast approached. The two looked at the faces on the monitor with eyes devoid of laughter.
After playing a game and eating tteokbokki, the subsequent shooting was similar. Walking while eating fish-shaped buns, doing a little shopping. There was Heesoo presenting a workbook, uninterested in it, and Jongsu choosing what suits Heesoo better between two pieces of clothing.
Truly, it was like a date.
“Today was so much fun.”
At 6 p.m., just before the last scene of the day, Jiho muttered to himself. Hye-yoon stared at him intently because his voice was pleasant to listen to, wanting to hear more. Then, the eyes that met him caused the lips to warm up once again.
“I’ve been working since high school, so I didn’t have memories like this. In middle school, it wasn’t that kind of situation.”
“…”
“The writer today… filled six years of mine. What should I do if I only receive?”
As pleasant as the voice, Jiho’s gaze embraced Hye-yoon. Then, Jiho looked at Minwoo behind Hye-yoon. The sudden movement of his steps coincided with this.
And a moment later, Minwoo’s words calling for cheers from the staff were heard. Despite his tired voice from the shooting all day, it was full of enthusiasm.
“After today’s filming, let’s all have dinner together! We have shooting tomorrow, so no alcohol, just a meal! Mr. Jiho treated us to a famous Korean beef restaurant nearby!”
“Wow! Thank you, Mr. Jiho!”
Applause could be heard from various places. Jiho imitated the applause with a feigned smile. Hye-yoon looked at him again as he returned to her side. While it was naturally a good thing to treat them to a meal, the menu selection seemed to be wrong.
With so many people, it seems like the food is too expensive.
And it seemed that this concern was not hers alone. The assistant director, who had approached Jiho right beside him, quickly expressed his concerns than Jiho. He was standing there beside Jiho in a gap.
“Mr. Jiho, it seems like it will cost too much money. To eat full at that place, it will easily cost a few hundred. What’s a few hundred? It could easily be tens of millions if you’re not careful. I know another place, let’s go there.”
“No, today’s work was like hanging out with Hye-yoon. I’ll return the appearance fee, so don’t worry about it.”
“Mr. Jiho said he’s just giving away the appearance fee.” Behind this remark by the assistant director, Minwoo’s voice was heard closely. A joking remark like, ‘Actually, it seemed like you two were playing.’ The three men laughed heartily, but Hye-yoon didn’t laugh.
While watching the assistant director returning to his place, Jiho turned his gaze. In the eyes that looked up at him, there was an unjust feeling boiling up.
A feeling of sadness and tenderness.
“Why? Are you going to treat me to a meal again?”
Jiho playfully opened his mouth first.
Since the woman who is infinitely sincere in giving knows that her name is involved in the reason for the meal. It was relieving not to hear what she would say.
“It seems like it’s a very expensive restaurant. I’ve been working hard, but my debt keeps increasing.”
“Hehe. Instead of thinking about the meal cost, just make me a real meal.”
“A real meal?”
“Yes. You only need to make half. Half with your mother’s side dishes, and half made by the writer. How about that? Want to get used to it by trying it once?”
Hye-yoon received his affection, playfully packaged as a joke. She raised her eyes, sparkling with delight, along with that gaze. Thus, she responded with an answer that he would be pleased with.
“Yes. Then, I’ll make it frequently and a lot.”
“Ah… I guess I can buy dinner a few more times.”
“Oh, really! Stop spending money!”
In the end, until the last shoot of the day, the two couldn’t pretend not to like each other.
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:
