“It was too short a time to cause any trouble.”
“…”
“If you hadn’t found out, our mother-in-law could have been in real danger.”
Unexpectedly, Hyeji choked up at Sunwoo’s unintended words.
“Thank you. That’s what I wanted to say.”
“Sob… Hic.”
The tears she had endured poured out.
“I’m sorry for misunderstanding.”
I still vividly remembered the ill feelings I harbored that day.
Was it because of those feelings? I pondered whether there was something I hadn’t caught on to with this patient during this time, whether I had done something wrong. I contemplated it repeatedly.
When I heard that the surgery went well, I breathed a sigh of relief. Watching Miran recover after the surgery, I was tormented by immense guilt.
That day, I had truly harbored ill feelings.
It felt like my heart was pounding. I felt like a child preparing to tell a lie in front of my mom.
I wandered in front of the hospital room for a long time. I couldn’t stand it any longer, so it seemed like I opened the door and entered.
As soon as I opened the door and entered, I was shocked to see the patient Jung Miran’s condition. She wasn’t breathing, and she was unconscious.
I was scared at that moment. Scared that something might go wrong with this patient. Scared that something might go wrong with my patient.
I was anxious the whole time. And scared.
“No, I’m sorry… I’m really sorry.”
I was afraid that I might expose the bad feelings I had harbored.
“So something like that happened.”
Sunwoo and I sat side by side on a bench in the deserted hospital back alley, and Eunjae gulped down coffee.
He said it wasn’t a place where people usually passed by, a private space only known to them. However, no one passed by throughout our conversation.
“I was concerned. But saying that it was nothing was ultimately a lie.”
“Look into it a bit.”
He said if it was true, it would have been something that could turn the hospital upside down. Well, if someone did such a thing holding a patient’s life, it would be natural.
“It’s what Teacher Ju said. Back then and now, I seem a bit inexperienced.”
“What do you mean?”
“Saying harsh words and causing hurt to others is a bit clumsy for me.”
When you plucked the cherry blossoms stuck in your hair, when you tried to spill wine on my dress, on the day you said a lot of hurtful things to me.
I saw you hesitating for a moment.
“Because I’m not originally that kind of person. How much I must have hated it, being robbed of an unrequited love.”
“…Did you know?”
“You think I didn’t know except for Mr. Sunwoo?”
He laughed, saying sometimes a woman’s touch could be frightening.
“So, just overlook that level of jealousy as something cute.”
“…”
“It’s Teacher Hyeji’s words. She was really a good teacher to our mom. Anyone, even just briefly, would think of having such feelings. It’s the difference between putting it into action or not.”
“Your wife has a broad heart.”
“Yes.”
When Sunwoo kissed Eunjae’s wide-smiling lips, surprised Eunjae quickly glanced around.
“What are you doing at work?”
“I came to visit my mother-in-law at the hospital today.”
“But what if someone sees us?”
“No one’s here.”
As Sunwoo approached, Eunjae closed his eyes tightly. Seeing that, Sunwoo chuckled.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Well, close your eyes again and finish what you were doing.”
After gently pressing their lips together, he quickly covered Eunjae’s lips in one breath. Every time their lips parted briefly, they looked at each other and laughed.
“Wide-hearted wife, grant me one favor.”
The station was bustling.
Unlike other days, it seemed lively. Taegyu was about to pass the station as usual but suddenly stopped in his tracks.
At the center of it all was Nalim. She seemed to be in a good mood. Her closed eyes and smiling face somehow bothered me.
It felt strange. It felt like I was the only one conscious of Nalim.
“Hello, Teacher Yoon.”
The nurse standing at the station greeted Taegyu, and Nalim glanced at him briefly. It seemed like our eyes met for a moment, but she quickly averted her gaze.
“Yes, hello.”
She rummaged through the chart I had seen earlier. It was a meaningless repetition of actions.
The contents of the chart didn’t register in my mind. My eyes were fixed on the man in a suit I saw that day. Along with the image of Nalim sitting across from him, smiling.
Four nurses were chatting except Nalim, but only her voice reached me. Her voice, filling my ears, was clear. So it irritated me.
I thought about leaving my seat. I was about to leave the station with my tablet when someone tapped my back.
“Hey, Yoon Taegyu.”
It was Eunjae.
“What? You surprised me.”
“I called you, but you didn’t answer.”
I was looking at that nurse over there. Eunjae lowered his voice enough for only me to hear and chuckled.
“When did I? Be careful with your words.”
“Whom did you see like that?”
Her? Or her? Eunjae kept chuckling and muttering, so I thought I should leave the station.
“Hey, Jieunjae. Come with me for a moment.”
I tried to leave with Eunjae, but one of the nurses at the station recognized Eunjae and greeted him.
“Oh, by any chance… Aren’t you Professor Yoon’s wife?”
“Ah, yes. Hello.”
“Hello! I was really worried because of your mother. It’s really fortunate.”
“Thank you.”
“Are you close to Teacher Taegyu?”
“Ah, Taegyu and I are classmates.”
“Oh, I see!”
As the conversation seemed to be getting longer, Taegyu grabbed Eunjae’s wrist and blocked their conversation.
“We’ll be going now.”
“Yes. Please take care, ma’am.”
“Yes. See you next time.”
Exchanging greetings with the nurses, Eunjae followed Taegyu. Eunjae, who kept glancing back at me, quickly caught up with Taegyu.
“Did you have lunch?”
“No, I’m about to.”
“Eat this. You’ve been on duty.”
Eunjae handed Taegyu a hefty lunchbox he had in his hand.
“Oh, my sister-in-law packed this lunchbox, and Sunwoo delivered it.”
“…”
“Sunwoo says thank you. He said you comforted me when my mom was sick, came to play whenever you had time. It really helped a lot.”
“If you want to thank, do it yourself.”
Smiling at Taegyu’s grumbling, Eunjae handed him the lunchbox and whispered to Taegyu’s ear.
“Taegyu, it seems closer than I thought.”
“What do you mean?”
There’s something like that. A woman’s touch, you know?
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 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.
