Do Ha’s vacant gaze drifted towards the empty house from which Hyun Seo had departed.
In retrospect, everything seemed precious.
The alleyway he had passed countless times since settling here following his mother in his childhood. From the time when the path started to look different.
It was a place that felt more like home to the thirteenyearold boy than his actual home. Looking back, everything that happened there shone brightly.
The home of Aunt Hye Su, who took care of Do Ha when he was not yet Do Ha, and the tenyearold girl with a beautiful smile.
From a certain point, it seemed like he deliberately slowed down his steps when passing that house.
The front gate of that house was often wide open, generously open to the thirteenyearold boy, like the heart of its owner.
“Do Ha!”
There was a warm person who never just passed by when the boy with a school bag appeared outside the gate.
She would always call out his name from the window whenever she saw him.
“Do Ha, are you home now?”
“Hello.”
At first, such kindness felt awkward, and he could only respond politely without a proper smile.
“You’re late. The sun is setting. Have you eaten yet?”
“I was about to eat at home.”
“Is your mom at home?”
“No, she said she’d be away for a few days.”
She said she was going on a trip with friends, but from what he heard while they were on the phone, it seemed like she was going out with some man again.
Hye Su nodded as if she knew, looking down at Do Ha. She would have known what kind of person Do Ha’s mother, Young Suk, was since she took good care of Young Suk as well.
Young Suk often left the house empty, and Do Ha naturally took care of his meals and laundry on his own.
“Do you have food?”
“I was just about to make ramen.”
“Ramen again? It’s not nutritious enough for a growing boy… Come in! We were just about to prepare our meal.”
Often, when entering the house for meals, the scent of grilled fish and boiling stew filled the air.
When it wasn’t mealtime, the clean smell of detergent and fabric softener lingered. The scent of the fabric softener in that house was new to him, but it was so fragrant and pleasing that he still remembers it.
Hyun Seo, the boy next door who was not even close, always rushed out of his room and set aside everything whenever Do Ha came.
“Oh? It’s Do Ha!”
He was always greeted with a smile as bright as sunshine, full of beautifully curved eyesmiles.
The vivid smile of the young girl lingered in front of his eyes.
That girl grew up, preserving that smile.
Even after Do Ha became Do Ha, she remained the same.
She, with her still beautiful eyesmile, thankfully, also kept her fondness for him.
And she even gladly followed him to Jin Seong.
Looking back, what a grateful event it was. But he never managed to say thank you.
Imagine all the harsh things she had to go through after coming to Jin Seong.
All things that wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t been Do Ha’s wife.
[Hey, hey, hey. What about my age? Is there an age limit in love?] Young Suk, who had been napping leisurely, barely opened her eyes at the sound of the bell.These days, she seldom went out and stayed at home, so sleeping excessively had become her daily routine.
Because of her son’s divorce, she was the talk of the town, so she decided to stay at home for a while, following Chairman Jae’s advice.
“Hello.”
Young Suk, still drowsy, answered the phone without checking the caller ID.
Mom, are you at home now?
“Me? Yeah, I’m at home. But why, what’s the matter that you’re calling and waking me up from my nap?”
Young Suk retorted gruffly. Since the last seafood stew incident, she had been sulking and hadn’t contacted Hye Mi.
Hye Mi’s voice did sound urgent, but Young Suk wanted to return to her unfinished sleep.
Mom! Something huge has happened!
“A big event? What happened?”
Young Suk sat up abruptly. Her sleepiness disappeared as if someone had doused her with cold water.
Ah, so I’m on my way to see you now. Please wait a little bit. I’m almost there!
.

Shortly afterward, Hye Mi entered the house. Despite her heavily pregnant state, she dashed into the living room where Young Suk was already sitting on the sofa, waiting.
“What on earth is going on? Why didn’t you just tell me over the phone? You’ve got me curious.”
Hye Mi wanted to deliver the news while observing Young Suk’s face turning red and pale at home, rather than explaining it over the phone.
“Well, mom! My brother got a compensation!”
The china teacup in Young Suk’s hand started to shake.
“What? What are you talking about! Who got what?”
Hye Mi glanced around once, then leaned further towards Young Suk and whispered.
“They say he got 1 billion?”
Clatter
Young Suk put down the china cup as if throwing it.
“1 billion?”
As she saw Hye Mi nodding her head, Young Suk squinted her eyes and asked.
“Who? Who said that?”
“I just heard it at the massage parlor.”
However, at Hye Mi’s answer, Young Suk tilted her head in confusion for a moment.
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~
