The day Seungjoo promised to meet Yoon Eunseo.
Seungjoo, who had chosen a fresh outfit and tied a new tie since morning, found it amusing even for himself. Despite receiving hatred, he still wanted to look stylish. Anyway, things would end today. Getting involved with Yoon Eunseo made people act strangely.
Well, since today was the last day, Seungjoo decided to turn a blind eye just this once to his own absurd behavior.
However, she showed no interest in the new clothes and tie Seungjoo was wearing.
“Please postpone the demolition for just one year. I’m begging you.”
It was expected that she would ask to delay the demolition, but the reason was unexpected.
“At that time, my brother, Eunho, was six years old.”
Finding out that the ‘Eunho’ she called out when intoxicated was neither her ex-boyfriend nor her current lover but her brother, the conclusion did not change. Yoon Eunseo was still a presence he needed to distance himself from.
It seemed like she was appealing for sympathy, but after knowing it was because of her brother, Seungjoo’s determination to drive her away only strengthened. Seungjoo, more than anyone else, knew how futile it was to wait endlessly for someone who would never return.
So, deliberately being more cruel, he spoke harshly and drove her away.
“If the person was going to come back, they would have already. Seeing that they haven’t come back until now, they must be dead.”
The woman who left without saying a word, turning pale, seemed unable to endure deliberately advancing the demolition any longer. She was so angry that she even came to the company on the weekend.
Seungjoo, who happened to be on the phone with his stepmother Jiyeonhwa, was waiting on the street when she suddenly appeared and shouted loudly.
“Are you even human?”
Eunseo poured out rude words casually. It wasn’t just cursing; each word was abusive.
What was amusing was that despite hearing the insults, his heart was pounding. Whenever they faced each other, he was either surprised or felt uncomfortable, as if he were avoiding an awkward situation. He didn’t like that.
At this moment, she was looking straight at him.
“I’ll give you a piece of advice. People like you shouldn’t give advice to others.”
Her flaming eyes and the lips pouring out everything she wanted to say looked incredibly beautiful.
Maybe they would have kissed.
If the approaching vehicle hadn’t come into view behind Yoon Eunseo at that moment.
His body moved faster than he thought. He stretched out his arm, pushed her away with force, and at that moment, he was engulfed in darkness.
And when he opened his eyes again…
From a man to a boy, and then back to a man, Seungjoo stopped his long reminiscence at that point.
He knew best what was written in that note that Eunseo was so obsessed with. To put it bluntly, he could recite it line by line. Each sentence, each sentence, written with such earnest feelings.
Originally, there was no need for that note. The feelings written there still remained inside Seungjoo.
Eunseo noona is my first love.
As 18-year-old Seungjoo said Eunseo was his first love, it was the same for her. Yoon Eunseo was his first love and his current love. Previously, he had tried to avoid and escape from it, but now it was too late. No, thinking about it now, it was already too late back then. He was just foolish and unaware.
Now that he had returned as an adult as he had hoped for, all he had to do was love freely.
… The problem was that Eunseo’s feelings had changed.
[I did have feelings for you, but it can’t be you. I can fill everything that you cannot give if it’s that person. That’s why I chose.]He knew that all the words she had said about dating his step-sister were lies, even before he regained his memory. The fragile woman who fought hard to protect herself, thinking that she would fly away if she didn’t sleep well, was even more irresistibly lovely.
[I am a woman too. Don’t you think I don’t want to hug you and kiss you?]Still, just those words were incredibly painful to hear. There had never been a moment after losing his memory when he didn’t want to recover it, but at that moment, he truly felt it. Perhaps that earnestness allowed him to regain his memory that day.
Anyway, he was no longer the 18-year-old who had to endure not kissing. So, it was only natural for him to kiss her.
He realized that something was seriously wrong in the middle of the kiss.
Originally, Seungjoo’s drawing was like this.
‘Have your memories returned?’
He was supposed to answer yes when Eunseo asked in surprise after letting go of his lips, confess that he still loved her, and become lovers.
But the reality was completely different.
The woman he thought would warmly embrace him flatly rejected the kiss. She struggled with all her might. When he loosened his grip slightly in surprise, she slipped away from his arms and fell backward.
There was no chance to calm her surprised heart or explain that his memories had returned.
[Yoon Eunseo.]When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
Trigger warning: All men in this novel are yandere style.
