After her first English academy class, Arin felt strange on her way out.
In the elevator, she absentmindedly looked down at the textbook in her hand.
‘I’ve never attended an academy before.’
She had never tried begging to be sent to the academies that others attended. No, she couldn’t.
Because she knew she wasn’t really the daughter.
She envied the classmates who skipped academies, claiming it was boring with their childish minds. She even made sarcastic remarks about them boasting of being full.
Of course, her life was not ordinary even now.
‘But now, I feel like an ordinary girl.’
Thinking of Jaehyuk, her heart tingled.
“Arin!”
As Arin left the academy, a welcoming figure was shaking hands with her.
“Mother.”
Seo Yeosa, the mother of Jiyoon and Hyun, smiled at Arin.
“Why did you come all the way here?”
After a long time, Arin made lunch plans with Seo Yeosa.
“We came out quickly because we were looking forward to seeing our Arin.”
Seo Yeosa gently stroked Arin’s cheek.
“Your face looks quite bruised. Is it because of Hyun that you’re so upset?”
Arin reddened her eyes and lowered her head at Seo Yeosa’s words.
“It’s not like that.”
Seeing Arin, Seo Yeosa’s expression was pitiful. She remembered what her daughter had said some time ago.
“Arin organized Memorya.”
“Why suddenly?”
“Although Arin didn’t say anything, when I asked Chulyong, it seemed like there were many problems with Hyun Oppa.”
“In the end, did it turn out that way?”
For Seo Yeosa, Arin was as precious as her son Hyun. Both were equally her beloved children.
Understanding Hyun’s intense love for Arin and Arin’s heart, Seo Yeosa couldn’t take sides.
Thinking about the conversation with Jiyoon, Seo Yeosa held Arin’s hand.
“Shall we eat first?”
“Yes. Mother. What would you like to have?”
Arin walked slowly towards the subway, holding Seo Yeosa’s arm.
They arrived at a brunch cafe.
Arin felt guilty looking at Seo Yeosa. Her remorse for Hyun turned into guilt.
“I heard from Jiyoon. You quit Memorya.”
“…I’m sorry.”
“What are you sorry for? I’m actually sorry because of Hyun.”
At Seo Yeosa’s words, Arin vigorously shook her head.
“No, he didn’t do anything wrong. If anything, I’m the one who should be sorry.”
If she had accepted Hyun’s feelings, perhaps a better future might have unfolded than it is now.
‘Mother wouldn’t have to feel sorry for me, Hyun wouldn’t be in pain, and I wouldn’t have to leave Memorya.’
Although she understood it in her head, people’s hearts didn’t always follow their intentions.
Arin’s feelings towards Hyun were like that.
[If it weren’t for Ban Jaehyuk, if that man didn’t appear in front of you again, your side would have been mine.]Hyun said. Arin could confidently say that it wouldn’t have been the case even if Jaehyuk didn’t come back.
‘Even if Jaehyuk Oppa didn’t come back, I wouldn’t have seen Hyun Oppa as a man.’
Strangely, she had no romantic feelings for Hyun.
He was a good brother, a dear brother. Nothing more, nothing less.
Arin’s face darkened. Seo Yeosa gently held Arin’s darkened hand.
“As I said back then, Arin.”
Arin looked up, locking eyes with Seo Yeosa.
“I hope you and Hyun or Jiyoon don’t feel guilty about not accepting Hyun’s feelings. Forcing yourself to accept them when your heart doesn’t go that way will only make you unhappy. I think of you as my daughter, Arin. My feelings towards Hyun and Jiyoon are the same as thinking of you.”
“Mother…”
Arin’s eyes turned red at Seo Yeosa’s words. Tears quickly welled up in her warm eyes. It felt like they would pour out with just a touch.
“Hyun, that guy, can’t control his emotions like a child. That’s something he has to bear. If he can’t suppress his emotions, he has to take responsibility for it. So, Arin, be faithful to your emotions.”
Even though she thought it shouldn’t be that way, Seo Yeosa’s words somehow relieved her guilt.
With a voice full of concern, Seo Yeosa asked, “Does that man treat you well?”
Arin nodded slightly instead of answering.
“Good. I’m relieved. Arin.”
“Yes, Mother.”
Seo Yeosa gently stroked the back of her hand as she continued speaking.
“I’m on your side no matter what choice you make. So, make the choice that will make you the happiest.”
Warm words brought overwhelming emotions.
Arin eventually buried her face in Seo Yeosa’s hands. Seo Yeosa slowly and gently stroked her back until she calmed down.
“I’m sorry.”
Tears flowed endlessly down her white cheeks.
“And thank you.”
Seo Yeosa was the first family that Arin had formed. The same was true for Jiyoon and Hyun.
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:

Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
