“Ah, it’s all cold now. I didn’t even sleep a sigh waiting for you.”
“Why did you wait for me?”
Eun-jae, who used to cower like a frightened cat, was a bit firmer now. Well, with a husband like Yoon Sun-woo, I guess things like me are no longer of concern.
As the days went by, Eun-jae became more sophisticated.
If the former Ji Eun-jae, when occasionally encountered in the market, was beautiful enough to be praised, the current Ji Eun-jae felt something strong that couldn’t be easily grasped.
Kwon Seung-chul swallowed the bitter coffee and then scanned Eun-jae from top to bottom with an unreserved gaze.
“You seem to be doing well? Shin-soo has grown up a lot. Who would believe that you were the daughter of the tteokbokki restaurant, where the smell of gochujang wafted in the market?”
“Whether I’m doing well or not has nothing to do with you.”
“Why, it doesn’t matter. Hasn’t your husband said anything?”
“…Did you meet that person? Why did you meet him! It’s over!”
While observing Eun-jae’s reaction and sipping the coffee, Kwon Seung-chul, unexpectedly excited by Eun-jae’s response, enjoyed the taste.
There was one more occasion when Eun-jae showed such a reaction. Was it when she visited the company and caused a scene?
No, it was when, on the day she messed up the dishes at Jeon Mi-ran’s tteokbokki restaurant, she looked up at her mother with hands like dried radishes and embraced her with a messed-up expression.
“If you spend other people’s money and don’t pay it back, this is what happens. Understand, kid?”
“I won’t let you get away with it.”
“Sure, Eun-jae. Uncle will be waiting. I’m already looking forward to it.”
Ignoring the mocking laughter, Eun-jae, with a gaze full of venom, looked up at herself. With lips clenched, she shed tears like chicken droppings.
And Eun-jae, who knew nothing.
It was as expected. Yoon Sun-woo hadn’t said anything to Eun-jae.
The hypothesis that Yoon Sun-woo and Ji Eun-jae loved each other intensely wasn’t wrong.
If it were Yoon Sun-woo, he would have known enough to recognize. Probably on the day I visited. Even though I told him not to talk nonsense, he probably already knew everything. That’s what I wanted.
After being sentenced to imprisonment and spending three years in prison as a kidnapping attempt suspect, what evidence could be more certain than that?
You probably don’t want to believe it. Eun-jae probably wished she didn’t know.
“I thought it was all over, really, I thought so.”
Because, Yoon Sun-woo, you were probably afraid of Eun-jae leaving you.
And Eun-jae is your only weakness, Yoon Sun-woo.
“Ji Tae-kwang is indeed useful in many ways.”
In that sense, Ji Eun-jae, you too.
“This time, it’s impossible. It won’t go as you wish. A bad guy who threatens poor people and devours them.”
“Eun-jae. There’s something you’re mistaken about. I just did what the company told me to do. Your father who borrowed money and didn’t pay it back for 20 years is the bad one. What if we, who waited for 20 years, say we’re bad.”
And then, just like back then, Kwon Seung-chul’s rough hand moved toward Eun-jae’s head.
“I should rather be grateful.”
“Get your hands off, I’ll report you the moment you touch me.”
“Feisty wench.”
“Why, do you think I can’t do it?”
As if they were a married couple. Their way of speaking has become the same. Seung-chul frowned as if he didn’t like it, and clicked his tongue.
Stabbing the hand that was wandering in the air into his pocket, Kwon Seung-chul leaned back in his chair with a sneer.
“Your father borrowed from loan sharks when Ji Eun-jae was just four years old. If I had visited back then, what could the wife, who believed only in her husband and watched her husband from a corner of the house in poverty, have done?”
“…….”
“I waited like this, so your mother could taste the tteokbokki, your husband could pay off your family’s debt with the opportunity you earned, isn’t that right? Why blame me? Blame your incompetent father for borrowing from loan sharks.”
Eun-jae’s clenched fist under the table was visible. Even though she tried not to show it, her slender shoulders were trembling.
“Don’t speak lightly. To you, I might be one of the creditors, but to me, he’s my father.”
“Right, you too. Even though your fancy father messed up your life like this, you still say ‘father’?”
Giggling loudly, the atmosphere inside the cafe fell silent in an instant. Kwon Seung-chul’s pupils, pressing his fist on the table, were chillingly cold.
“Will the word ‘father’ come out of your mouth again this time?”
Kwon Seung-chul thumped the lighter onto the table, regularly hitting it, then looked at Eun-jae.
“Your husband, does he have a peculiar history? At the age of ten, an attempted kidnapping incident.”
Then, looking at Eun-jae’s trembling lips and fluttering eyes, he swept his tongue over the inside of his cheek.
How good would it have been if Yoon Sun-woo could see Eun-jae’s expression now. The laughter that flowed out was not hidden.
That’s why you should quietly hand over the money when you wake up a sleeping lion. Then, Eun-jae would have never known. Just as Yoon Sun-woo wanted.
“He’s probably your house’s son, but to avoid tarnishing your reputation, your father quietly settled the incident and sent him to the United States when he was young. Well, this is something that people can easily find out.”
“If you have time for that, take care of yourself. You’ll live like that for the rest of your life. Very dirty and pathetic.”
With malicious words, Eun-jae, as if not wanting to face him anymore, picked up her handbag and stood up. Then, she looked down at Kwon Seung-chul and smirked.
“The Eun-jae who used to tremble in front of you is no longer here. You know the situation has changed a lot. Let’s end this now. I’m tired of seeing your face for over 20 years.”
When Eun-jae stood up and walked past Seung-chul, he turned around, propped his fist on the back of the chair, and smirked slowly.
“You, aren’t you curious about who the kidnapper is? You’re someone who knows very well.”
“…….”
Curious. To the same question he asked Yoon Sun-woo, what would Eun-jae say?
The sound of creaking shoes suddenly stopped. When Eun-jae turned around, and her eyes met Seung-chul’s, he smiled slyly.
“Your father. Ji Tae-kwang.”
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:
