“I should have made sure to see his face.”
“…Why?”
“So I could kill him on sight.”
His tone was half-jesting, but Kang seemed to faintly understand the rage that was layered within San’s words.
He was certainly both celestial and Mongma.
Yet, he claimed that his roots were neither celestial nor Mongma.
Being born with a predetermined identity wasn’t a choice, and it was heartbreaking that one’s mere existence could be inconvenient for others.
Just like what had happened to her mother.
“San.”
Without finishing what she had in mind, she impulsively called out his name.
Hearing his name, San looked down at Kang.
“…”
“…”
Their gazes met for a brief moment.
What comforting words can I offer him?
She wanted to say something encouraging, but no words seemed fitting.
After some contemplation, she closed the distance between them.
“You know, San.”
Calling his name again, he smiled.
“Why do you keep calling me? What do you want to say?”
Matching his gaze with a gentle look in her eyes, she smiled back at San.
Then, she awkwardly, but genuinely, offered some consolation.
“We don’t need anyone’s validation, and no one has the right to judge us.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
Although San responded as if he knew it all, he didn’t seem completely reassured.
In reality, she wanted to tell him not to get hurt by things that aren’t a result of his wrongdoings.
How wonderful it would have been if she could articulate that sentiment more gracefully?
She might have melted some of the hardened pain within him.
So, after some thought, she held San’s fingers as she had done some time ago.
Then she lightly pressed her lips against his fingertips.
After playfully kissing him once before to express her affection, it had unintentionally become a cherished gesture.
Sometimes, a silent embrace offers greater comfort.
Kissing the fingertips was, for her, the best way to convey sincerity.
At least it was for her.
And fortunately, San seemed to discern the sentiment behind her actions.
Her genuine attempt to comfort him, and the fact that she supported him more than anyone else in that moment.
She believed he understood.
“I… don’t know what I taught you.”
San chuckled, suggesting that he might have learned something quirky from her.
Laughing along, Kang asked, “Was that comforting?”
“I get your intentions. It’s enough.”
San replied, shrugging his shoulders.
That’s how their unique sign was created.
She thought that they might often resort to this method when words fail.
Kang gently played with the fingers she held and slowly released them.
Then, with a somewhat serious expression, she asked,
“Do you know what Koreans hate the most?”
“What is it?”
“First, it’s when someone stops talking mid-sentence…”
“…”
Silence ensued.
“Why did you stop talking?”
When San spoke, Kang retorted as if she had been waiting,
“It’s not me who stops mid-sentence, it’s you.”
“?”
“Go on. So, what do Ilguk and Wolguk do?”
Her arms crossed, Kang’s eyes sharpened.
Today, she intended to show interest in the world beyond, since it came up in their conversation.
Only then did San, realizing Kang’s playful jibe, smile and opened his mouth again.
“Ilguk prepares the birth of humans, sending new lives to the human world. Wolguk oversees human deaths.”
Ilguk, a place that readies the birth of lives to be sent to the human realm.
And Wolguk was where human deaths were managed, guiding the souls of the deceased to the heavenly realm.
“So, what about Wooguk?”
“Wooguk is…”
For some reason, after taking a long breath, he spoke.
“Wooguk is where all of humanity’s negative emotions are overseen.”
Sadness, anger, depression, pain, loneliness; every negative human emotion was governed there, a land where it rained without ceasing even for a moment.
The flowers, trees, flowing waters, and forests were all monochrome, creating a colorless world.
It was a place dark and gloomy, far from beauty. Though overseen by celestials, it lay on the boundary intertwined with other dimensions and the underworld, attracting hybrids from various realms.
Simply put, it was a very dangerous place.
However, its lack of beauty and inherent dangers deterred many, making it an ideal hideout for those on the run.
“Many hybrids were born and grew up there.”
“…”
“Just like I was born, and so was Romi.”
Upon hearing this, Kang looked shocked and asked with wide eyes,
“…Is Romi also a hybrid?”
“My mother was a human.”
Romi too was a hybrid, born between a beast-man father and a human mother.
She wasn’t the first of her kind, nor was she unique.
Unlike the unprecedented hybrids of Mongma and celestials, hybrids between humans and beast-folk, although rare, have persisted.
But only about 1% managed to reach adulthood.
Thus, hybrids born in Wooguk were inevitably fated to live under constant threat from the moment they saw the world’s light.
Kang, listening to this, felt immense heartache.
The realization that Romi and San had faced much more loneliness and hardship than she had ever imagined weighed heavily on her.
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 flirtatiously pursues 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.
