“Eh? What did you just say…?”
“I asked you to marry me.”
“….”
Initially, she thought she had misheard. But his voice uttering the word ‘marriage’ was too clear.
Da Jeong looked up at Tae Sang with a bewildered expression. Surprisingly, his face looked no different than usual.
His cool gaze and tightly closed lips. His stubborn appearance left her speechless.
Da Jeong moved her mouth a few times before finally opening it.
“Why, why? Or rather, who do you think you are fooling now? Marriage, you say. The internet is plastered with your marriage articles.”
“Does it say in the article who I am marrying?”
“No, not that but….”
Da Jeong, seeming flustered, rolled her eyes before speaking again.
“It must be some prominent family’s child anyway. That’s why you’re keeping it a secret and not publishing it in the articles.”
“It’s not that we’re not publishing.”
“Then?”
“We haven’t decided who I will marry. That’s why we can’t publish.”
“…..”
To marry but not know who to marry. She thought the proposal she received a moment ago was the most absurd thing she had ever encountered, but it seemed that wasn’t the case.
Da Jeong looked at him with a confused expression.
“I will be marrying soon, according to my grandfather’s will. To a family that needs the power of our Hyo Sung, wherever that may be.”
“Well… good for you. Anyway, their family would also be a great help to you.”
Every time she heard the word marriage, his tuxedo attire flickered in front of her eyes. Da Jeong tried to sound as casual as possible, even though her voice was trembling.
“Do you really think that way?”
“What do you mean…”
“Do you really want me to marry any woman?”
His gaze seemed to pierce through her. Da Jeong bit her lip hard and turned her head.
Young Mi, Cheol Jung, and now even Tae Sang. Everyone was asking ‘is it really so?’ and she could no longer bear it.
She liked Tae Sang. No, she had always liked him.
Was it from the moment he generously offered his broad shoulders? Or the moment when his blunt words unintentionally brought a smile to her face?
She didn’t know when it started, but the feeling had grown enormously inside her.
She tried to resist it, even pretended not to know. But now, nothing worked. The fact that she liked Tae Sang was the only thing that remained clear in her heart.
But even so, nothing changes. He was still a man who was out of her reach.
A soft prick of the heart was enough to make it pour out all its sorrows. With a feeling of escaping, Da Jeong turned her body toward the door. She clenched her eyes shut and took a step forward, only to be held back by a faint voice.
“I don’t want to get married like that.”
“…….”
“So, help me.”
“Why…… Why does it have to be me?”
Da Jeong quickly turned around, throwing him a resentful glance. She hated him for making a proposal she could neither accept nor reject.
“It has to be Han Da Jeong.”
“Does it have to be…… me?”
Her soft brown eyes wavered faintly. Tae Sang watched her nervous movements quietly before slowly opening his mouth.
“Have you ever heard rumors about me?”
“Rumors……?”
“The rumor that the vice president despises women.”
“That’s just a baseless rumor.”
“It’s not a baseless rumor. I hate even the slightest touch of a woman. That’s why the scandal doesn’t stop in the press.”
“Wa, wait a minute. That’s impossible. You have always been so……”
There was no sign of hesitation in his touch, which was still vivid on her skin. But now he was saying that he couldn’t even touch a woman’s fingertip.
Confusion colored Da Jeong’s face.
“Han Da Jeong, it’s okay for you.”
“Why?”
“I don’t know why, but it’s okay if it’s you. Even if you’re close, even if our bodies touch. So please be by my side for a while. As my woman, my bride.”
“…….”
It was an insane proposal.
She should say no. She should tell him to stop talking nonsense. But her uncontrolled lips uttered unexpected words.
“Is, is that really the only reason?”
“What do you mean?”
“Isn’t there another reason?”
“……No, that’s not all.”
“What else is there?”
Perhaps it was difficult to answer, his eyebrows furrowed, and he blinked slowly.
The brief time felt unbearably long. After a while, Tae Sang spoke in a composed voice.
“Because I can’t stand worrying about you.”
“…….”
“So, I want to keep you where I can see you well because I worry about you.”
Da Jeong looked at him with trembling eyes.
The words flowing from his red lips sounded as if he was pouring his heart out to her. But the deep eyes gazing at her were excessively dark and peaceful.
With contrasting sensations attacking her at the same time, she felt unsettled. Her heart pounded fiercely, and her mind was completely disordered.
Among the opaque threads of thought, Da Jeong clung tightly to the most certain path.
The fact that among the many reasons he was approaching her, there was a feeling called the heart. Just that fact alone made her heart flutter as if it would melt.
“So, for how long?”
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:
