“Are you serious about resigning?”
Yeongwoo frowned and responded.
“Did you think I was joking?”
“I thought I could persuade you.”
“…”
“You have to. Because you like me.”
Unwittingly, Yeongwoo almost put her hand over her heart.
It felt like a powerful punch.
“What do you mean, President…”
“But now I get it. Why you’re so compelled to resign.”
Taehan took another step closer, and the dim light cast shadows on his face.
“Seo Yeongwoo.”
His black eyes stared intently at her, even in the darkness.
Yeongwoo tensed, not knowing what he would say next.
Even if he had overheard the phone conversation, it couldn’t be anything serious since she hadn’t mentioned the pregnancy to Seon-ok yet.
“Is it painful to be with me?”
“Excuse me?”
But his unexpected words took her by surprise.
“You like me, but can’t reach the tree you’re after, so you feel tortured by hope?”
Yeongwoo was dizzy from Taehan’s conjectural attacks.
“Every day must be torture. I didn’t notice how you felt.”
“President…”
“Does it hurt now? To look at me?”
Confronting Taehan’s lethal provocation, Yeongwoo stared at him in disbelief.
She was at a loss for words, unable to say he was completely wrong.
Moreover, seeing her heart flutter even in this absurd situation made her think her feelings for him had grown serious.
“President, I think there’s a misunderstanding.”
Yeongwoo opened her mouth, feeling like a rabbit that had entered a tiger’s den.
If she didn’t regain her composure now, she might get swept away by him.
“A misunderstanding?”
He tilted his head, as if denying the possibility.
“There’s no need to pretend.”
“It is a misunderstanding. Of course, I can’t deny there’s a part that’s true.”
At her acknowledgment, his eyebrows finally relaxed back into a normal expression.
“But I’m not suffering enough to sever my livelihood. I’m good at self-objectification and I don’t indulge in false hopes.”
“Really?”
This time, his lips twisted into a slight smirk.
“Well, the Seo Yeongwoo I know would be like that.”
“Anyway, it’s not for the reasons you’re thinking…”
“So, you’re saying you’d rather leave than not have me.”
Taehan interrupted Yeongwoo.
That was enough to blur the reasoning she was barely holding onto.
“So, you’re saying, if you can’t have me, you’d rather not see me at all.”
Yeongwoo was at a loss for words. What on earth happened at the dinner place to make him charge in like this?
She wanted to say no, but it felt like he was metaphorically covering her mouth with an invisible hand.
After a long pause, Taehan chuckled and brushed back his hair.
“I’ll date you.”
As if bestowing a favor.
“I’ll be your boyfriend.”
His attitude, as if offering solace, left Yeongwoo’s expression growing cold.
However, Taehan, oblivious to her pale face, spoke again with an even softer expression.
“Don’t quit. I need Secretary Seo. It’s rare to find an employee I can trust as much as you.”
After he finished, Taehan took a relieved breath.
He never expected to have a man-to-woman relationship with her, but if that’s what it took to keep her, he was fine with it.
Actually, it wasn’t bad.
No, frankly, it was good. The night they spent together still occasionally surfaced in his mind.
Seo Yeongwoo had caught his attention from their first meeting. He became naturally aware of her, especially after he realized she often stole glances at him. When he was sure of it, Taehan felt a complex emotion.
Not just happiness or delight, but something deeper and more dangerous.
He said it was an accident, but Taehan never regretted the night they spent together.
“Yeongwoo is the first for me.”
A woman who, once in his thoughts, troubles him endlessly.
Until now, Taehan prioritized work over women.
Profit over love.
Seo Yeongwoo, standing before him, had changed the person known as Ki Taehan. So, he had no intention of letting her go.
“You won’t resign, right?”
“…”
“Shall we start from today?”
Yeongwoo remained frozen, like a statue.
Taehan thought she was simply paralyzed with joy.
“Here.”
He wasn’t entirely comfortable, but he courageously reached out his hand first.
“If you want, you can hold it.”
As Yeongwoo’s frozen face began to show a slight change, and Taehan moved to close the remaining distance to hold her hand, Yeongwoo suddenly stepped back.
“I don’t want to.”
“What?”
“And I won’t date you, President.”
As he widened his eyes in surprise, Yeongwoo ran off like the wind.
Staring at Yeongwoo, shrinking into a dot in the distance, Taehan remained frozen, unable to even lower his hand.
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:
