The man who had introduced himself as the Chief Secretary of the Executive Office took the lead, guiding Da Jung as if showing her the way.
“Executive Director Cha Jung Hyuk wishes to see you.”
There was no room for refusal. Da Jung was not here as an individual, but as a representative of Hanbit Architecture Office.
The executiveonly highspeed elevator did not stop at all, it halted on the 23rd floor of the East Wing. It was the highest floor in this building.
As she got out of the elevator and turned a corner, a long corridor stretched ahead.
The pure white marble floor gleamed like ice, and the leaves of the large potted plants placed intermittently along the glass windows reflected the sunlight, glistening refreshingly.
The director Min, who had been standing in front of the tightly closed door, cautiously knocked and opened the door in quick succession. Da Jung had no chance to prepare her heart.
“Please come in.”
“Ah, yes….”
Pushed into the unfamiliar space, it was eerily quiet. And he was chillingly calm.
The eyes of the man sprawled in front of the desk seemed slightly closed as if deep in thought.
Carefully moving her toes, Da Jung approached the reception sofa and bowed deeply.
“Hello….”
She wondered whether to add ‘nice to meet you’ but decided against it.
At the sound of her softly whispering voice, the man’s eyelids lifted. Holding his head upright, he slowly turned his neck to size up Da Jung from head to toe.
After blatantly observing for a while, his lips, which had been tightly sealed as if made of stone, moved slightly.
“Miss Yoo Da Jung.”
“…Yes.”
Already standing like a child, Da Jung stared hard at the legs of the reception sofa.
“Yoo Da Jung.”
“Yes.”
A chuckle snuck into the corners of his mouth that had been sealed straight. A playful sentiment flickered in his eyes that had been only cold till now.
“So it was Yoo Da Jung. That was the name.”
Yoo Da Jung, Yoo Da Jung, as if engraving it on the tip of his tongue, Jung Hyuk softly repeated her name.
The cute handwriting etched in the lodging book flashed before his eyes again.
The full version of the name fragmented as ‘YOO’. The name of the woman before him. It was Yoo Da Jung.
It was as if he had found a thread in a tangled mess of yarn, a mix of a slight thrill and strange exhilaration.
The moment he met the girl in kindergarten, a longforgotten puzzlelike curiosity floated back.
Jung Hyuk still didn’t know. What he had lost that day.
Perhaps he was just consumed by the hollow feeling of not knowing anything.
He slowly stroked his chin and let out a languid smile.
“How old are you, Miss Yoo Da Jung?”
“Director, I….”
“You didn’t tell me.”
She had not answered the question that was abruptly thrown at her in the small conference room.
They had let her off the hook, not making a fuss in front of all the middle managers, but in the end, they had called her so insistently in front of him.
Da Jung clenched her trembling fingertips and tried to sound calm.
“Director, an inappropriate question….”
“How old are you?”
It was gentle yet somehow fierce. Just like back then.
Just as her eyes kept being drawn to the unfamiliar man, Da Jung felt an unknown tension drying up her throat.
“I wonder if that’s a workrelated question.”
“How does this sound like a work conversation to you?”
“If it’s a personal question, I will decline.”
The eyebrows of Jung Hyuk, who had been nervously looking at her, twisted slightly. They had met again after 5 years, but every encounter seemed to peculiarly scratch his nerves.
Even when he ran away from me at kindergarten as if he had committed a crime. Even when he ignored my question and left the lecture hall. And even now.
He, who had straightened his back, leaned slightly back. The faint hint of a playful smile had somehow disappeared.
“For 5 years, you drove me crazy with curiosity, making me go around in circles.”
A selfmutteringlike curse followed after.
As the atmosphere drastically changed, Da Jung’s tension also increased. Despite his respectable attire, his inherent rudeness remained unchanged.
After a while, the heavy gaze of Jung Hyuk’s eyes seemed to lose its intensity as if nothing had happened.
She was just a woman he occasionally bumped into. He had only bumped into her again by chance, but he found it strange that this could make him so alert.
On second thought, he found it somewhat funny that he was so edgy.
“Whatever. I can find out myself.”
“Please, tell me why you called me.”
Da Jung barely suppressed her displeasure and spoke.
“No, I was just curious. What’s the name of the woman who flirted with me to be her boyfriend, and then completely left me the next day, how old she is, and… why she did that.”
His lazily raised eyes coldly pierced Da Jung.
“Why did you do that?”
“What… are you talking about?”
“Why did you run away?”
Da Jung gently bit the inside of her mouth.
Run away. It was true that she ran away because she was scared. She never thought that he would see it that way.
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:
