So, knowing about this, he would probably…
As Eunseo remained silent, Seungju asked again.
“What if Eunho thinks, ‘My sister must be worrying about me and not eating properly,’ and he himself also stops eating because of it? How would you feel?”
“…….”
“So, please eat. Eunho would want that too.”
Hearing his confident voice, Eunseo felt her eyes well up with tears. No one had ever spoken to her like that before, not even her mother. With the added influence of alcohol, she wanted to just let go and cry, but she had her pride as an older sister. She was nine years older than Seungju and his guardian. She knew all too well how disconcerting it could be for the protected to see weakness in their protector.
Struggling to hide her tears, Eunseo skeptically eyed Seungju.
“You’re like an old soul… Be honest. You’re not really eighteen, are you? You’re pulling some kind of trick, right?”
Seungju smiled.
“I actually did the same. At first, I couldn’t eat much because I didn’t know where my mom was. But then I realized that the one who would be most upset to see me not eating would be my mom. She’d be heartbroken to see how thin I’ve become.”
“…….”
“So, I deliberately ate more to avoid making her sad when we reunited. I avoided things like instant noodles and cooked meals even though it was a hassle.”
That explained why he knew how to cook. It was unusual for a high school boy living alone to cook for himself, rather than just eating convenience foods.
Eunseo felt a mix of admiration and pity for the boy who had matured too early. She knew why and how it had happened.
“Why did it have to be that way?”
“So let’s eat well together.”
Feeling a lump in her throat, Eunseo gazed into the distance. Seungju placed perfectly grilled meat onto her plate.
“Eat plenty and let’s wait with strength.”
[Star Icon]The next morning, Seon-ah, who had ‘died’ from drinking soju the night before, woke up like a zombie.
“Ugh, I feel like dying.”
“You should have controlled yourself. Why did you drink so much?”
Eunseo handed her some honey water with a roll of her eyes.
“I had my reasons. I wanted to take advantage of Seungju being drunk. I planned to pretend to make a mistake and have our lips touch. It would have been his first kiss, right?”
Hearing Seon-ah repeat the same intention even after sobering up, Eunseo’s heart sank. She was seriously considering making a move on Seungju.
“But who knew he could handle alcohol that well… Our Seungju is perfect.”
Suddenly, Seon-ah poked Eunseo’s side playfully.
“Aren’t you affected at all, Eunseo?”
“Affected by what?”
“Living under the same roof with a young man. Doesn’t it create unexpected feelings?”
Seon-ah gazed at Eunseo with serious eyes, the playfulness gone.
“Honestly, you find him attractive, right?”
Eunseo couldn’t deny it immediately.
The man she glimpsed briefly two years ago. His lonely figure, his dreamily handsome face had occasionally surfaced in her mind.
Even after meeting him at the company, it was the same. Her heart raced at the sight of him, and she felt secretly upset that he didn’t remember her. So, it would be a lie to say she hadn’t harbored even a seed of affection.
But Eunseo never intended to let that seed sprout, especially not under the current circumstances.
Seon-ah might still see him as Kwon Seungju, even with his lost memory, but Eunseo saw things differently. She regarded them as entirely separate individuals. If not, she couldn’t have lived with him.
She couldn’t live with a man for whom she had feelings. She had no reason to become the guardian of a man who had spoken cruelly and tried to drive her out of his house.
So, the person in front of her was an eighteen-year-old, innocent boy. Only his appearance seemed adult.
“Do you know what I think, Seon-ah?”
That’s why Eunseo could respond firmly.
“Don’t worry. I have no other feelings towards Seungju.”
Only then did Seon-ah smile.
“I trust you, Eunseo!”

“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.
