“You know that I truly love you!”
Before my eyes, a full-blown melodrama was unfolding.
Mostly, the woman was talking, while Seong Ji-chan just listened silently.
The woman had long hair, was tall, and her face was incredibly beautiful.
Even from a distance, her beauty was apparent, and I imagined she would be even more stunning up close.
“I was so angry back then, I lost my mind for a moment. You can’t seriously think I meant it when I said we should break up. What kind of relationship do we have!”
“……Sigh, calm down first.”
“Calm down? How can I be calm? It was all a misunderstanding. I wasn’t cheating on you!”
……It seemed like a love and war scenario from a melodramatic drama.
Considering it had a 19+ rating, it didn’t seem like something you’d find in a high school romance…
Despite my resolve not to eavesdrop, I found myself listening intently to their conversation.
“I’ve been missing you all this time. That’s why I came here.”
The woman finished speaking and finally burst into tears.
Seeing this, Seong Ji-chan let out a deep sigh, looking troubled.
According to the original story, Seong Ji-chan had a few ex-girlfriends.
Judging from their conversation, this woman seemed to be one of them.
Until now, Seong Ji-chan had been silent, but then he spoke up.
“……Han Ye-won. It was you who wanted to end things first.”
Han Ye-won?
That name sounded familiar.
‘Ah, right.’
The male lead’s ex-girlfriend.
She was another antagonist in the original story.
If Yu Hee-na was antagonist 1, Han Ye-won was antagonist 2.
While Yu Hee-na played the role of the male lead’s frail childhood friend, causing frustration, Han Ye-won was the complicated ex-girlfriend.
Another character destined to provoke irritation.
“I followed everything you wanted from the beginning to the end.”
To Seong Ji-chan’s words, Han Ye-won raised her head.
“You were the one who left me, not the other way around.”
“Left you? I never did such a thing.”
“……Han Ye-won.”
“It wasn’t cheating. I really didn’t do anything with that guy.”
Cheating…
Of course, the original story had more details about why they broke up.
There’s another crazy story there, but it’s not relevant enough to mention right now.
After a few more exchanges, Han Ye-won broke into loud sobs.
Eventually, Seong Ji-chan sighed, embraced Han Ye-won, and whispered something to her, probably trying to comfort her. Perhaps he still had feelings for her.
But as a reader of the original story, I knew the truth.
Han Ye-won did cheat, and Seong Ji-chan was fully aware of it.
He was just foolishly wavering because of his lingering feelings.
In today’s world, he would have been dropped from the male lead role long ago, but he survived due to being in an older story. Lucky guy.
“……Tsk.”
I involuntarily clicked my tongue, which made me reflexively lift my head.
Seon Woo-jin was looking at Seong Ji-chan and Han Ye-won, his face all scrunched up in annoyance.
Come to think of it… in the original story, Seon Woo-jin was surprisingly a character of loyalty.
Despite being the designated ‘cool guy’ with hardly any lines, there was one moment in the story where he exploded in speech.
It was when he defended Seong Ji-chan to the female lead.
Towards the end of the novel, Seong Ji-chan and the female lead break up due to a misunderstanding.
They could have solved it with just a word, but they dragged it out and eventually split up.
Despite the separation, they pined for each other in a frustratingly tiresome manner.
And the one who resolves this situation is none other than Seon Woo-jin.
Surprisingly, this seemingly indifferent character seeks out the female lead to clear up the misunderstanding between them!
Seon Woo-jin tells the female lead about Seong Ji-chan’s hidden circumstances, finally resolving their misunderstanding and leading to their reunion.
‘I wonder what he’s thinking now.’
I sneaked a glance at Seon Woo-jin’s expression.
Based on my interpretation from reading the original, Seon Woo-jin, though he might not like Han Ye-won, would eventually support his friend’s love.
“Anyway, it’s true that Seong Ji-chan suffered a lot after breaking up with Han Ye-won. So in the end, he’d probably wish happiness for his friend…”
“Ah, Seong Ji-chan, that gullible guy.”
“……?”
Wait, that’s not it…
Surprised by my own thoughts, I stared at Seon Woo-jin. Sensing my gaze, he looked down at me.
His face seemed to be expressing one word.
What.
“……No, go on.”
Seon Woo-jin turned his head back.
He continued to curse at Seong Ji-chan, and then, as if that wasn’t enough, he even started talking to me.
“Isn’t that guy really frustrating? Going all crazy over his cheating ex-girlfriend. It pisses me off just to see him like that. Such a blockhead! That’s why he’s always treated like a fool.”
I timidly mumbled in response.
“……Well, if they’re happy together, isn’t that okay?”
“What? Are you serious? You’re out of your mind.”
Seon Woo-jin cringed as if he had heard something disgusting.
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.
