As the appointment time neared, Haeyeon continued her now routine investigation of the case at home. Following the doctor’s advice from her visit earlier in the day, she explored different angles and discovered a troubling aspect.
But regrettably, as time ran out, she had to wrap up and hurried out for her outing. Leaving a bit early allowed her to arrive at the department store sooner than the time she had arranged to meet Do-hee.
Despite being a weekday evening, the department store was bustling due to its size and fame.
“Unniee!”
Do-hee, who had been waiting a bit away from the crowd in the lobby, beamed and waved her hand upon spotting Haeyeon. Haeyeon too greeted Do-hee with a radiant smile.
“Isn’t it so exciting to meet up at the department store after such a long time?”
“Sorry, miss. I haven’t been around much for you these days.”
As Haeyeon genuinely expressed her apology, Do-hee waved her hand dismissively.
“Eh, it’s okay. Everything is forgivable when it’s Haeyeon unnie!”
Do-hee’s ever-cheerful and spirited response made Haeyeon feel even more regretful, leading her to warmly hold Do-hee’s hand.
“Let’s go eat first.”
“Okay. But what shall we eat?”
“Let’s go for meat, your favorite.”
“I love it. Meat is the best for dining out!”
They went upstairs. The high floors of this department store housed quiet restaurants, and Haeyeon had purposefully chosen this cozy spot for a special conversation with Do-hee.
“Our little sister-in-law called me out to spend money like this?”
Do-hee’s eyes widened in surprise. Haeyeon laughed and led her to the seats she had reserved. Slightly taller than Haeyeon, Do-hee seemed the elder sister as Haeyeon looped her arm through hers.
As soon as they sat down, Do-hee eagerly inquired.
“So, what happened with your job, unnie? I was dying of curiosity because Dad only mentioned you got a job!”
Do-hee’s playful curiosity was endearing. She seemed like a cute puppy wagging its tail for treats. Seeing her lovable demeanor, Haeyeon could understand why Do-ha often teased his wife lovingly.
“It just happened. Being at home was getting boring.”
“I’m so happy for you! Why do we even need a reason for that?”
Do-hee’s genuine happiness for Haeyeon was touching, a stark contrast to the indirect ‘threats’ from Chairman Yoon or the baseless anger from her father-in-law.
“What about mom? How did she react?”
Did she scold you a lot? Knowing her mother’s character all too well, Do-hee added with a worried tone. Haeyeon smiled warmly at her sincere concern.
“She gave her permission.”
“Mom did?”
“Yes.”
Do-hee found it hard to believe Haeyeon’s response, her eyes widening even more. She knew her mother would have naturally opposed Haeyeon working. The fact that she had gotten permission seemed nothing short of revolutionary.
“How?”
“She just agreed without any special comments.”
Haeyeon’s casual smile made Do-hee feel a pang of pity and reached out to hold her hand. She knew too well the kind of response her mother must have given.
In the process, it was Haeyeon who must have been hurt.
Do-hee looked at Haeyeon anew. Barely any makeup, yet her face was youthful and pure. Her clear, black eyes sparkled with a graceful smile.
It wasn’t just Haeyeon’s pretty face but her character that was her true value. Do-hee could never forget the first time her brother brought Haeyeon home. Even as a teenager then, Do-hee was amazed at how someone could be so purely kind.
It was no wonder her little brother, who never showed interest in women, fell for her.
Haeyeon noticed that Do-hee lacked any pretense or falsehood often seen in the upper class. Her gentle and quiet manner of speaking, her kind smile, and her humility and consideration were all genuine. Do-hee thought that Do-ha’s best accomplishment in life was meeting Haeyeon.
“Unnie, tell me honestly. How was it really?”
“Really. She was a bit surprised but didn’t say anything.”
Do-hee might have sensed that Haeyeon’s words weren’t entirely true, but she didn’t show it.
“Oh, but which company?”
“Dalli Coffee.”
“The company of Joo-a unnie’s father?”
Do-hee blinked rapidly. Haeyeon nodded.
“Yes. It just turned out that way. Sorry about this too, miss.”
“Oh. Both of you didn’t tell me. I forgive you, Haeyeon unnie. But Joo-a unnie is guilty.”
Haeyeon laughed lightly. Do-hee had become close to Joo-a due to her association with Haeyeon. Do-hee pouted her plump lips and continued.
“But unnie, that’s impressive. To land a job at such a big company! Joo-a unnie has picked a real talent, hasn’t she?”
“Maybe.”
As Haeyeon responded with an embarrassed smile, Do-hee laughed too. The buoyant conversation mellowed a bit as their ordered food arrived.
Feeling it was the right moment, Haeyeon decided to ask what she had been curious about. Her heart pounded at the thought of probing her beloved miss in such a way.
“Miss, about last year…”
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.
