11 Virtues A Hero's Civilian Friend Must Uphold (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 21
She knew who he was—he’d saved her parents’ lives, and they’d been entangled in so many incidents that his image remained vividly etched in her memory.
Yet he hadn’t become a particularly significant figure in her life, so maybe that was why even his name hadn’t stayed with her—she’d only remembered it vaguely at best.
Soo Hyun seemed to have already known Hee Won, her friend’s son, having encountered him a few times before.
She’d remembered him merely as her friend’s son and the older brother of the student her daughter tutored, so his sudden visit to their home had genuinely caught her off guard.
Moreover, this situation made even less sense when contrasted with the fact that her friend, Mrs. Kim, had abruptly and completely cut off contact ever since the company’s management rights had fallen into someone else’s hands.
Seeing that her daughter wasn’t particularly startled by Hee Won’s presence suggested they’d had some other connection.
Since they’d mentioned attending the same school, it wouldn’t have been odd for them to have become close as seniors and juniors.
Ever since their household had been struck by misfortune after misfortune, her daughter had stopped contacting even her closest friends—and even severed ties with her boyfriend, with whom she’d once been so affectionate. So Soo Hyun actually felt relieved about this turn of events.
After all, during such a difficult time, having someone—anyone—show up by her side would surely be a blessing.
Soo Hyun, who still believed her husband’s death and her daughter’s accident were merely tragic coincidences, thought nothing more of it.
Still, she couldn’t quite shake the unease of a grown man visiting her daughter’s room, so she left the door slightly ajar and stepped away.
Once Na Eun confirmed Soo Hyun had gone downstairs, she walked slowly back and closed the door again.
It was because he wasn’t someone she could talk to openly, within earshot of others.
Had it really only been a month? No, she thought, it must have been even longer since they’d last seen each other in person.
Na Eun stood there, staring quietly up at the man standing right before her, who for some reason hadn’t spoken first.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
Wow! Finally a glimpse of the Center Directors scolding >.<
