Her face brushed against his desirable muscles. Dizziness enveloped her as she closed and then opened her eyes, but the intimate closeness remained.
“Your face is a bit hot… Are you okay?”
His voice, full of concern, reached the top of Ji Na’s head. She couldn’t bring herself to look up. Maybe if she claimed it was the sunburn, would he believe her? She was pondering even in that moment.
“I’m, I’m fine.”
“It must be the hot weather.”
It’s because you took off your shirt.
Unable to bear the closeness to Jin Woo’s bare chest any longer, Ji Na quickly bowed her head and stepped out of the basin. She couldn’t feel the ice-cold temperature of the water at all.
“Your face is really red, you know?”
As soon as Jin Woo’s gaze met her face, Ji Na covered her cheeks with her hands. Even through her hands, she could feel the heat.
“It’s because it’s hot. Really hot.”
Strangely, her eyes kept slipping to Jin Woo’s exposed upper body. As she turned around, waving her hand like a fan, her foot caught on something.
“Ah!”
She screamed as the long rubber hose, tangled around her foot, writhed on the water’s surface and sprayed Jin Woo with water. Fortunately, Ji Na managed not to fall and slowly looked at Jin Woo.
Oh my…
Jin Woo’s upper body, drenched in water, looked like a perfect sculpture brought to life.
Water droplets slowly trailed down his sculpted muscles. Following the water droplets with her gaze, Ji Na unconsciously swallowed.
His pants, thoroughly soaked, revealed his lower body more clearly. The light-colored pants clung tightly to him, adding a primal essence.
“Ah… sorry.”
Embarrassed, Ji Na turned her eyes away and apologized.
“It’s okay. It’s refreshing.”
Jin Woo pushed his damp hair back and laughed refreshingly. Today, especially, his drenched appearance exuded a strong masculine aura.
Dangerous.
“Do you have, um, extra pants…?”
Unlikely.
It was the home of a woman living alone. Ji Na’s eyes darted around as she bit her lip.
“I’ll go buy some pants from a nearby store.”
She wasn’t sure if the convenience store sold pants, but she needed to extinguish the urgent fire. For Ji Na, that fire was her heart, pounding as if it would jump out of her throat.
Escaping the scene seemed paramount.
“I brought some clothes.”
Jin Woo effortlessly alleviated her concern. His bag, placed on one side of the platform, now caught her eye.
“I brought some of my stuff just in case.”
Perhaps because of what the landlord had said…
“A man’s things should be at a woman’s house.”
“Ah…”
She missed her chance to escape. Ji Na felt like a fish freshly caught, wanting to clutch at her fluttering heart.
Her face, trying to force a relieved smile, looked awkward.
“I’ll finish the rest of the laundry. You seem unwell, so you should go inside and rest.”
Jin Woo’s thoughtfulness was welcome. Ji Na readily accepted.
“Okay. Alright. Maybe I shouldn’t have done this. I’ll just rest for a bit.”
With a face red as a tomato, Ji Na hurriedly opened the door and entered her house. Whether it was from being away from Jin Woo or entering the house, her face cooled down somewhat. She repeatedly touched her cheeks and sighed.
Oddly, the image of Jin Woo’s moist body wouldn’t fade from her mind.
“I must be crazy.”
She had never felt this way before, even when seeing the bodies of celebrities on TV or in movies. But now, she was as sensitive as a teenage girl.
“It’s because the day is hot. Just the heat…”
Blaming the intense weather, Ji Na fumbled with the refrigerator door. She thought a cold drink might help clear her mind.
After drinking the ice-cold water, Ji Na turned on the air conditioner and slumped down in her seat. Just doing a bit of laundry had completely exhausted her.
The sound of splashing water from outside reached her ears. Imagining Jin Woo earnestly doing the laundry, a small laugh escaped her, like air from a deflating balloon.
‘Thank you, Seo Jin Woo.’
As if a wave had passed, Ji Na became languid, smiling faintly and tilting her head lazily.
The thought of Jin Woo going to America, who she had always imagined would be by her side, felt surreal. Huddled with her knees drawn up and head bowed, Ji Na tried to ignore the creeping sense of gloom.
‘It’s not like he’s leaving forever… We can keep in touch often.’
She felt anxious. She remembered Ji Hye warning her about the dangers of long-distance relationships.
‘When bodies part, hearts can drift apart too.’
Ji Hye’s words, preached like an important religious doctrine, one by one came back to Ji Na. With each recollection, her eyebrows furrowed more.
‘Jin Woo is different from other men.’
Muttering to herself like a mantra, Ji Na’s head snapped up at the sound of the door opening.
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:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?

Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
