“Yes. I just briefly saw the pop-up store on my way here, and as expected, Manager Yoon’s sense is exceptional. It mustn’t have been easy to create such an atmosphere just from hearing about it, haha.”
Arin tried to lighten the stiff atmosphere by forcing a smile on her lips that refused to part.
“Manager Yoon worked hard, I heard. When are you going back, CEO Choi?”
However, Hayeon, being a businesswoman, quickly composed her emotions and continued the conversation with Arin. Arin was relieved that Hayeon, at least, was clear about separating business and personal matters, unlike Yuhyn.
“Day after tomorrow.”
“Then, if you have no plans for dinner, would you like to join us?”
This time, Yuhyn was the one to respond.
“It’s fine.”
“Oppa……?”
Arin tried to dissuade Yuhyn. He firmly held Arin’s hand and continued in a resolute voice.
“We don’t need to have dinner.”
Arin, feeling Hayeon’s gaze, tried to pull her hand away, but Yuhyn didn’t let go easily.
“We plan to have dinner with our family. We appreciate your offer, Director.”
Hayeon’s gaze lingered on their clasped hands. Her eyes trembled noticeably more than before.
“……Can’t we just have a meal together? As a start to a more formal relationship……”
Yuhyn cut off Hayeon’s words. He was adamant.
“Do we really need personal ties for work? Besides, we won’t be seeing each other for work purposes anymore, so I don’t see the need to build a relationship.”
“You’re being cold.”
“I have nothing to say to that.”
Arin felt unable to intervene this time.
The atmosphere was such that she, a third party, couldn’t interject between two former lovers.
Partly because she saw a reflection of herself in Hayeon.
Partly because she understood Hayeon’s feelings.
Partly because she understood Yuhyn’s need to draw the line.
“Oppa, let go of my hand.”
Arin forcefully withdrew her hand from Yuhyn’s grasp.
“Director, I’ll just go to the restroom for a moment.”
“Ah, okay. Go ahead.”
As Arin stood up, Yuhyn tried to follow her.
“Don’t follow me to the restroom. Just stay here.”
Arin pushed Yuhyn’s shoulder, making him sit back down.
‘This isn’t right. What is he doing?’
Arin ignored Yuhyn’s gaze and left the meeting room.
She hoped the two would talk a bit in her absence.
Contrary to Arin’s wish, Yuhyn drew an even clearer line with Hayeon.
“I hope you won’t make such proposals anymore. If we had known that the executive of LW Group was Director Min Hayeon, we wouldn’t have accepted this proposal.”
“Yuhyn. I told you. There were circumstances, but you’re being too harsh without listening.”
Hayeon pleaded, but Yuhyn’s expression hardened further.
“Director Min Hayeon.”
He shook off Hayeon’s hand that held his.
“I hope you won’t force me to take a stand against you anymore. And don’t call Arin.”
“Yuhyn.”
“If you have nothing more to say, I’ll be leaving.”
Yuhyn stood up, picking up Arin’s bag. Hayeon quickly stood up and followed Yuhyn.
Hayeon blocked Yuhyn’s path as he tried to leave. Yuhyn’s lips twisted slightly, and sharp words flowed from his mouth.
“Min Hayeon, if you had any conscience, you shouldn’t be doing this. You’re the one who abandoned me when you told me to bark and wait.”
“Yuhyn.”
“And now you come back shamelessly asking for understanding? Don’t make me laugh. Just facing your disgusting face is a big decision for me.”
It was a side of Yuhyn Arin had never seen before.
With his voice sharp enough to slice through thin paper, Hayeon involuntarily swallowed hard.
“Just hear me out. I had no choice back then. It was my father!”
“Get lost.”
“Yuhyn.”
Yuhyn grabbed Hayeon’s wrist, refusing to let her pass, and pushed her against the wall. Hayeon closed her mouth as Yuhyn’s face came up close to hers.
“Do I have to resort to violence against a woman for you to stop?”
“…….”
“Just let your emotions spill in front of Arin one more time. Then, forget about being treated as a director.”
Hayeon had no choice but to release Yuhyn’s wrist at his words.
Left alone, Hayeon collapsed, her strength drained. The sound of crying echoed briefly in the meeting room.
Late at night, the various lights shimmered like gold paint on a black canvas.
From the top floor of VAN Group’s headquarters, one could see the night view of Seoul in its entirety.
And at the highest point was Jaehyuk.
Chairman Ban had retired from the front line of management due to deteriorating health caused by a chronic illness. Jaehyuk, though bearing the title of vice-chairman, effectively fulfilled the role of chairman.
Over the past year, Jaehyuk had immersed himself solely in work. Without sleep, hardly eating, he did nothing but work.
“Vice-Chairman.”
With a knock, Director Han entered the office.
“What is it?”
Director Han approached Jaehyuk, who was standing in front of the panoramic window.
“There was a call from the great madam about this week’s dinner with Chairman Min.”
“She never gets tired, does she?”
Jaehyuk clicked his tongue at the relentless Jung Madam.
“Decline it.”
His voice was firm as he sat down.
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 a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
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.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
