Before meeting the legal team, Siyun began to review the files given by Director Kim. Despite the recent deterioration in management, which led to the imminent closure, detailed records from a long time ago were left behind, allowing him to understand the financial flow and operational management at a glance.
After concentrating on the monitor for a long time, Siyun leaned back and closed his eyes. Suddenly, he remembered the data he needed to check.
“Secretary Park, I heard you gathered some old files. Where are they?”
“They are stored in the cabinet in the upstairs office. If you tell me what you need, I’ll come get it for you.”
“No, since I have to check it at least once, I’ll check it myself.”
Siyun entered the office that Secretary Park had informed him of. A quite old steel cabinet took up a large space.
Clang.
The sound of the door opening was loud, as if it was filled with the passage of time.
“Will it be in the middle of all this?”
There was a possibility that it might not be there, but if there was a slight chance, he had to check it to the end. Siyun scanned through the documents in the cabinet with a gaze that seemed more determined than ever.
“I can look at this later, and this too.”
Siyun’s hand opening the cabinet became faster. And the moment the door opened, he finally discovered various-colored brochures filling the entire cabinet.
“I found it!”
Siyun’s touch began to get busy.
Starting from the most recent flyer to 10 years ago, even 20 years ago. As Siyun’s fingers moved up through the flyers, traversing time, his heart began to beat vigorously.
With this level of data storage, there might be flyers from around the time Miju went missing, and there might even be flyers about finding Miju. ‘If not! The probability of families looking for Miju is high, though I may be disappointed, I wanted to be prepared to comfort Miju first.’
Arriving first at the Wide Hotel Korean restaurant, Somin took out her phone and browsed through social media.
After a while, the sound of knocking was heard, and Reporter Yu entered the room. Somin, who had briefly glanced away from her phone, looked at Reporter Yu as if to express her pleasure.
“You said you might be late, but you came right on time.”
“Yeah, luckily there’s an entrance nearby.”
In a media outlet that deals with articles without department boundaries, would there be a separate entrance for reporters? But Siyeon pretends to be a fairly well-known reporter.
“But what’s up? Let’s have lunch together.”
“Yeah, I heard they have a new menu here, so I wanted to taste it. Also, I wanted to see your face.”
“I’m not in the mood to see your face while trying out a new menu.”
Reporter Yu made a grumbling remark, but the sound of knocking was heard, and the two fell silent. Soon, a staff member served two portions of appetizers and stood quietly.
“I ordered in advance. It’s a seasonal mushroom course. Is that okay? I haven’t ordered the main course yet.”
Somin looked at the waiter as if asking to explain the menu.
“For the main course, we have beef broth with pine mushrooms, mushroom rice with enoki mushrooms, and mushroom stew flavored with shiitake mushrooms. There’s also pine mushroom noodles made with pine mushroom strands, topped with pine nuts and deodeok. What would you like?”
“I’ll go with the light noodles.”
“Same for me.”
“Okay, I’ll prepare everything with noodles.”
“Oh, and please serve the food slowly.”
Was there something Somin wanted to say? She delayed serving the food.
But after the staff member left, Somin relaxed, seemingly indulging in her own leisure. Then, she tasted the mushroom porridge, acting as if she were treating herself.
“It’s delicious. Siyeon, try it quickly.”
When only the two of them were together, they used to reveal each other’s tricks, but today Somin was unusually gentle. Reporter Yu, sensing that something might be bothering Somin, became curious about what could be causing her to act so gently.
“I’m getting scolded and having a hard time because of Kim Siyun and that female reporter, and you want to settle it with a meal like this? What’s the point of having a meal for a mere rice bowl when I’m getting scolded and causing a commotion because of Chief Kim and the ad for Taehan Foundation? Ah, it’s annoying. Only the chief is allowed to do it.” Reporter Yu expressed her annoyance by making a fuss over the empty dishes for no reason.
The two were delicately teasing each other, seemingly avoiding each other’s nerves. And then, there was an anticipation of what kind of conversation would come next.
“But, Somin, don’t you do SNS? Sometimes, your SNS seems to do better than my articles. Like, with shopping or interior design, stuff like that.”
“Yeah. The number of followers has increased lately.”
“You didn’t take a picture of today’s new menu?”
“Today, I’m just having a quiet meal and talking with you.”
Meanwhile, Somin calmly tasted the mushroom porridge. Both of them were known for their impatience, but today, Reporter Yu couldn’t hold back and spoke first.
“Let’s get to the point. What do you want to say?”
“……. ”
Without answering, Somin leisurely took another spoonful of mushroom porridge into her mouth. Both personalities were known for their impatience, but today, Reporter Yu couldn’t hold back and spoke first.
“Ah, what’s with you!”
Only then did Somin, who had put down the spoon, quietly lowered her voice.
“Isn’t this about protecting your source?”
“Why are you talking about source protection?”
As if her appetite had suddenly returned, Siyeon leaned forward in front of the table.
“What’s going on? Tell me quickly.”
“Follow-up report. The immoral meeting of the Taehan Foundation heir and daughter-in-law. How about it?”
“Immoral meeting?”
Gumi was drawn in, but Reporter Yu was cautious as approaching based on rumors could backfire.
“There needs to be evidence.”
Somin clenched her fist and leaned back behind the chair. With a confident expression that said, ‘I’m one step ahead,’ she looked proud.
Even though it was a bit irritating, Reporter Yu decided to cool down her fervor until she confirmed whether it was a clean source.
“If there are photos. A picture of her meeting a man in the United States.”
“What kind of man?”
“Does it matter what kind of man? Right now, it seems that Choi Miju, that woman, met another man. Moreover, it happened while she’s married to Kim Siyun, the heir to the Taehan Foundation, in the United States. Isn’t that a fact?”
How to connect this? The sound of Yu Reporter’s rolling thoughts and the sound of Somin’s eyeballs seemed to be audible.
“Photos. Show them!”
“Now?”
“Now.”
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:
