“If you allow, I’d just like to sit here for a moment before I leave.”
It was late at night, and she was a woman alone. She should have refused.
Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to say no. The man appeared so fragile as if he would crumble at the slightest touch, despite his tall stature and solid build.
Before she knew it, Eunseo found herself responding to the intruder.
“Then… please feel comfortable and leave when you’re ready.”
The man thanked her and bowed again.
‘What have I just done?’
Wondering to herself, Eunseo entered her room.
Peeking through the door, she saw the man sitting motionless, staring endlessly towards the gate.
His large, lonely silhouette made Eunseo think. Could this man be the landlord?
The landlord listed in her old lease agreement was a young man, only a few years older than Eunseo. The man outside matched that age.
Though she felt no immediate threat from him, having a stranger in her yard was unsettling, preventing her from sleeping well.
Eventually, she woke up at 2:30 AM to her alarm for newspaper delivery. The job didn’t pay much, but she had been doing it since middle school as it allowed her to distribute flyers for her missing brother while earning some money.
The post-rain autumn dawn air was as cold as midwinter.
‘He must have left by now.’
Wrapping herself in a puffer jacket and scarf, she stepped out, almost screaming to find the man collapsed on the porch.
“Excuse me, are you okay?”
Approaching cautiously and asking, she heard the steady breathing instead of a reply.
Relieved, Eunseo sighed. ‘Ah, he’s just asleep.’ She hadn’t noticed earlier, but he was drunk. The scent of alcohol, faint but present, was only apparent now.
Up close, the man was terrifyingly handsome. Though he was right in front of her, Eunseo felt as if she was looking at a TV or movie screen, simply because she had never seen someone with such features in real life.
Eunseo, who had never even flirted, let alone dated, was seeing a man’s face this close for the first time.
‘His eyelashes are incredibly long.’
With a great physique, dense eyebrows, a sharp nose, and a slightly angular jaw, there wasn’t a single feature on his face that wasn’t manly. Yet, oddly enough, his overall aura wasn’t heavy but rather delicate. That’s probably why she couldn’t get tired of looking at him.
“…….”
Eunseo, forgetting about her delivery, was staring mindlessly at the sleeping man’s face.
Startled when the man suddenly turned over in his sleep, Eunseo quickly stepped back, her face flushing as she realized what she was doing.
“……Uhm.”
Even in his sleep, the man seemed cold, groaning and curling up tightly. Naturally, it was freezing in the early hours of this chilly morning, and he was only wearing a thin autumn coat.
‘What if he freezes to death?’
Eunseo was at a loss. She wanted to at least bring him inside the glass walls of the main room, but there was no way she could move a man who seemed at least twice her size.
“Excuse me, you’ll catch a cold sleeping here…….”
She tried to wake him by timidly shaking him, but the man, probably due to the alcohol, remained motionless.
Finally, Eunseo brought a thick blanket and covered him with it. Not feeling reassured, she also brought an electric heater and turned it on. Anticipating that he might have an upset stomach when he woke up, she also prepared warm honey tea in a thermos.
‘Will he be okay?’
All day while delivering newspapers, Eunseo’s mind was filled with thoughts of the unknown man.
What was his connection to our house?
Could he really be the landlord?
Why was he looking so forlornly at the gate?
Returning home after delivering the newspapers in the morning, the man was gone, leaving only a neatly folded blanket and an empty thermos.
[Star Icon]If it weren’t for that brief encounter two years ago, she wouldn’t have been this angry.
It seemed like even the goddess of revenge was on Eunseo’s side. As soon as she got out of the taxi, she saw Kwon Seungju, as if it were a lie.
Without a secretary, standing alone in front of the company building, he was looking in the direction the cars were coming from, apparently waiting for someone.
Even on the weekend, Kwon Seungju was wearing a suit, a trench coat, and even a neatly tied necktie. Standing among the fallen leaves on the street, he looked like a scene from an autumn-themed photoshoot.
Of course, Eunseo’s only thought was to strangle him with that necktie.
“You call yourself human?”
She approached and blurted out. Kwon Seungju flinched and turned around.
“How can a person do such a thing?”
She intended to scream at him, but what came out was a trembling voice, pitiful even to herself.
Kwon Seungju sighed as if annoyed.
“What is it now?”
“You deliberately pushed forward the construction!”
Though it was a holiday and in front of the company, anyone seeing this would be shocked. But at the moment, Eunseo’s mind was flipped. She didn’t care that he was the company’s CEO. Fire me if you will.
Unlike the extremely agitated Eunseo, the man remained cool.
“Hope is the worst of all evils because it prolongs man’s torments.”
“……?”
“It’s a quote from Nietzsche. It’s better to come to terms with a hopeless situation sooner rather than later…”
The sight of the smug man spouting smug words with his smug face was utterly repulsive to her.
“Why do you get to decide that?”
Eunseo glared straight into his face.
“Born as the eldest son of a conglomerate, joining the company as an executive, you must find the world too easy. Climbing to the CEO position in just four years, everyone else must look stupid and laughable to you.”
Eunseo, with a mocking smile, looked at his slightly surprised face.
“A person like you, probably never experienced pain in your life. Never had sleepless nights due to hardship, or cried with a pounding heart.”
“…….”
“Let me give you some advice. Someone like you shouldn’t be giving advice to others.”
She thought she had insulted him enough. When had this man ever heard such words from a mere tenant and a rank-and-file employee like herself? To him, she was probably nothing more than a maggot.
Eunseo waited for a look of insult to appear on his perfect face, even feeling a bit of pleasure in doing so.
However, instead of responding, Kwon Seungju’s action was to extend his hands and firmly push Eunseo away. And he did so very forcefully.
Caught off guard, Eunseo helplessly tumbled onto the ground.
Now it’s even assault!
In a moment of utter disbelief and humiliation, tears welling up in her eyes, Eunseo witnessed a shocking scene.
Kwon Seungju was hit by a car that suddenly rushed in.
The scene of the large man’s body being hit by the car and floating in the air seemed like slow motion.
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.
