Startled by the deliberate cough from inside, Sooyoung stumbled backward and ended up falling on her backside.
Ignoring the pain in her tailbone, and feeling as if she’d been caught trying to listen in, she fled the house like a child caught stealing.
The next day, while watching a TOEIC lecture online in the information room, Sooyoung hurriedly stepped into the hallway upon receiving a call from her aunt.
As soon as she pressed the call button, she heard Youngmi’s panicked voice.
“Sooyoung!”
“Aunt? How are you doing?”
“Sooyoung, did you touch anything in that house yesterday? Or, did you leave anything out of place?”
“No, I don’t think so…” Suddenly, she remembered picking up a dumbbell yesterday. Did she put it back in its place? She thought she had, but couldn’t be sure.
“Why? What happened?”
“Well, that CEO called me, saying that after the person who worked yesterday left, something was out of place, and the homeowner tripped over it. He asked who was there.”
“Wait, the homeowner got hurt? Because of me?”
Sooyoung raised her voice, forgetting she was in the library, and a librarian shushed her.
“I’m not sure about that.”
“What should I do? Is it my fault that Auntie might lose her job?”
Hearing Sooyoung’s distressed voice, Youngmi tried to calm her down.
“No, he didn’t say that. So, you don’t remember anything?”
“Honestly, I can’t remember. Auntie, I’ll go today and apologize.”
“No need. They said you don’t have to come until my back is better.”
Youngmi’s words made Sooyoung feel like her heart sank. Her attempt to help her aunt might have just cost her aunt’s job.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she blinked rapidly. Hearing her niece’s silence, Youngmi spoke gently.
“They didn’t say you shouldn’t come at all. They just said they’d manage themselves for now. Don’t worry, Sooyoung. I called you in a panic. Just focus on your job preparation, okay? And thank you for trying to help me.”
Lost for words at her aunt’s response, Sooyoung didn’t know how to fix the situation.
Returning to the reading room, she sat down, but the online lecture couldn’t penetrate her thoughts.
After much contemplation, she decided to go and apologize to the homeowner.
Hurriedly packing her things, she slung her bag across her shoulder. Time was of the essence.
Breathless upon reaching the house, she debated pressing the doorbell but decided it was more polite since she was told not to come.
But strangely, the bell didn’t ring. No matter how many times she pressed, it was silent, as if intentionally made soundless.
“What should I do now?”
Biting her nails and pacing in front of the door, she gathered her courage and pressed the six-digit code.
As the door silently opened, she cautiously entered the quiet house.
It was unchanged from yesterday – spacious, with somber, luxurious furniture perfectly in place.
Curious, she tiptoed into the room with the exercise equipment and was surprised to find the dumbbells, previously arranged by weight, all gone.
Realizing it was her fault, she felt a wave of despair and stood there, lost. What should she do?
Heading back to the living room, she hesitated in front of the closed room, wanting to explain it was her mistake and not her aunt’s, but lacked the courage to knock.
She lifted and lowered her hand several times, wiping the tears seeping out. Finally, unable to knock, she slowly turned away, when something caught her eye.
Beside the grand window, a grand piano with a white stick wrapped in red ribbon on it – something she hadn’t noticed yesterday. What was it?
As she approached the piano, a sharp, immature voice rang out behind her.
“Don’t touch it.”
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:
