The beginning of a challenging period at work?
“Ha, I feel sorry for her.”
It was a hollow sentiment.
“I’ll talk to her. Don’t worry too much.”
How could she not worry?
“Okay. I’ll trust you then.”
Haegin expressed her gratitude and apology with her face, thanking Byung-su, who patted her shoulder a couple of times before returning to his seat.
Knowing the inside story, Haegin felt a parching thirst. She entered the break room to drink some water before returning to her desk.
But, as they say, you meet your nemesis on a narrow bridge. Yeon-jung seemed to be there for a similar reason.
Drinking water greedily, Haegin used the water dispenser next to Yeon-jung. She intended to leave quickly without drinking, but things didn’t go as planned.
As soon as she touched the door handle, she felt a burning sensation at the back of her head.
“Deputy Haegin.”
As expected, she couldn’t even open the door before turning around.
“Did you call me, Manager?”
“Have you been badmouthing me to the Team Leader while you’re with him every day?”
What kind of development is this?
“Am I such a scary person to you?”
Haegin’s face contorted, unable to hide her social smile or mask. Was Yeon-jung unaware of the concept of a scary person? Haegin had just wanted to pass quietly, but even that seemed difficult.
“So, you told everything to the Team Leader?”
How could Yeon-jung come up with such an idea? Haegin was starting to feel incredulous.
“I don’t understand what you mean.”
Haegin carefully placed her water cup on the table. Yeon-jung took a step toward her.
“Just because you say you don’t understand, doesn’t mean it’s over.”
What exactly was Yeon-jung trying to say without even understanding the context?
“So, you think you’ve changed because the Team Leader treats you well?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Your rank.”
Haegin’s slight sympathy for Yeon-jung evaporated completely.
“Manager Kim Yeon-jung, talking about rank is rather offensive.”
“Good, that’s what I intended.”
Haegin bit down hard on her molars, holding back her reaction. After all, it was true that she had inadvertently affected Yeon-jung’s standing.
“If my actions have made you feel bad, there’s nothing I can say about that.”
Yeon-jung was trembling with clenched fists.
“I never asked the Team Leader for any favors, nor have I ever spoken ill of you to him.”
Yeon-jung’s face twisted with anger.
“Any actions that lowered your credibility with the Team Leader were your own doing.”
Haegin stepped closer to Yeon-jung.
“And Manager Kim, you seem to be under some misconception. If I had really snitched to the Team Leader, do you think it would have ended like this?”
Haegin looked down at the trembling Yeon-jung, feeling neither sympathy nor much regret. She just felt the need to calm down someone throwing a tantrum.
“Maybe it’s time to focus on your other duties instead of throwing a fit.”
It was a clear message to leave. Yeon-jung’s cheeks trembled as she pushed past Haegin and left the break room.
After the door slammed shut, Haegin picked up her water cup again. It was time to cool the steam rising in her head.
During her father’s prosperous times, Haegin had attended social gatherings disguised as networking events. There, a child’s rank was determined by their family’s income. What was the big deal about rank anyway? Haegin had learned to survive in such an environment, realizing that at least knowing how to bark back was necessary to avoid being underestimated, especially when someone was backstabbing.
The mention of her rank brought back these memories, and tears welled up in her eyes. She had resolved to do well, but controlling her emotions was still a challenge.
Thoughts of her parents only intensified her tears. Feeling her eyes burning, Haegin fanned her face quickly. She took a deep breath and approached the door.
“Team Leader?”
Haegin’s face was shadowed with emotion.
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:
