In the dim living room, where the chill of dawn had not yet disappeared, Mrs. Sung San relied on the small rosy light illuminating the dining table and was busy cleaning the sea urchins.
Plod, plod.
She was alone in the quiet and vast space. The sound of footsteps gradually becoming clear through the dark living room caused Mrs. Sung San’s hand movement, which had been cleaning the sea urchins, to abruptly stop.
She was a person who was usually scared. Mrs. Sung San’s hands, stained purple, trembled tremulously.
She lowered her frightened face and tried to shake off the apprehension, but as the white object got closer, Mrs. Sung San’s face turned white with fear.
“Excuse me….”
“Oh, dear lady!”
Suddenly startled by the unexpected presence, Mrs. Sung San dropped what she was holding onto the table and cried out.
“I’m sorry. Did I startle you?”
It was only after facing Eun Jae, who entered the dining room in a white dress, that Mrs. Sung San patted her chest in relief.
“Oh dear, my heart nearly dropped.”
“I’m sorry.”
Eun Jae scratched her head repeatedly with regret. Her consideration of trying to come in quietly so as not to disturb seemed to have turned out to be a poison.
Mrs. Sung San smiled brightly at Eun Jae, who was looking apologetic and didn’t know what to do.
“It’s okay, but why didn’t you sleep more? Can’t you sleep?”
“Yes….”
As she watched Eun Jae answer quietly, Mrs. Sung San smiled and picked up the sea urchin again. She deftly opened the sea urchin and separated the insides.
“Everyone is like that. It’s always the same when you change your bed.”
“Are you preparing breakfast? Why are you alone?”
Eun Jae, who pulled up a chair across from Mrs. Sung San and sat down, asked with wide eyes. The sight of her alone in the vast dining room with only a small light on seemed to puzzle her.
“I can’t sleep at night, that’s why.”
“Let me help you, where should I start?”
Eun Jae rolled up her sleeves and seemed ready to pick up a sea urchin any moment. Mrs. Sung San stopped her with her whole body.
“Oh, you’ll ruin your clothes. Please go back to sleep.”
“I’ll just watch quietly, then.”
Looking at Eun Jae, who sat across the table with a face full of curiosity, Mrs. Sung San decided to stop discouraging her. Eun Jae’s eyes sparkled beautifully as she rested her chin and looked at the sea urchins.
Eun Jae, looking at the live sea urchins as if they were fascinating, asked,
“Is this a sea urchin? It really does look like a hedgehog. But you’re cleaning it with your bare hands? Doesn’t it hurt?”
Mrs. Sung San, who had just finished cleaning a sea urchin, replied while placing a large pot on the table,
“We are used to it, so it’s easier to do it with our bare hands.”
Mrs. Sung San started to clean the boiled conches, which had cooled down and become chewy.
Eun Jae, quietly watching Mrs. Sung San work over her shoulder, picked up a conch and separated the flesh from the shell in an instant.
“Is this the right way to do it?”
Mrs. Sung San laughed helplessly, looking at the conch from which the guts had smoothly come out without any interruption. It all happened so fast, she hadn’t even had a chance to stop it.
“Oh dear, I told you to just watch. But you did it so nicely in the midst of it all.”
“I wanted to try. It’s fun.”
Eun Jae, who had already separated the shell and contents of the next conch, smiled brightly at Mrs. Sung San.
“What’s so fun about this.”
“It’s really fun.”
Seeing Eun Jae asking, ‘Am I doing well?’ Mrs. Sung San thought that Eun Jae always had a clear laugh, just like the first time they met in the officetel.
“Is this a scallop?”
Just by looking at her, one could feel a sense of clarity and refreshment, as if she was able to color those around her in the same way.
Wasn’t this person who changed Sun Woo’s expression, which was devoid of laughter and extremely dry, overnight?
“Yes. This shell is called a conch. It was just brought from Jeju Island this morning, so you wouldn’t believe how fresh it is. When you make seaweed soup with conch and sea urchin, it tastes amazing. Please let me know in advance if there is any ingredient you can’t eat. I will boil it separately with meat for you.”
“No, I want to try it!”
“Then, can you taste it later? Your hands smell fishy. Go wash your hands quickly.”
In the blink of an eye, Eun Jae, who had the conch and wooden skewers snatched from her hand, had to head towards the sink, pushed by Mrs. Sung San’s hand, leaving her disappointment behind.
The seaweed soup began to boil, filled with fresh ingredients just brought up from the beach. The aroma of savory sesame oil and the smell of the sea combined to stimulate Eun Jae’s appetite from the morning.
The rice cooker puffed out hot steam on cue.
Mrs. Sung San, who had been eyeing Eun Jae, who had been glancing at the seaweed soup being cooked, finally laughed heartily.
“It seems to have boiled enough, could you taste it for me?”
“Yes!”
Mrs. Sung San handed Eun Jae a bowl full of sea urchin eggs and conch and a spoon.
“Thank you.”
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.
