“Currently, among the writers in their twenties, only Se Ah and Do Young are single, and since both are good-looking, we thought… Sorry, we went a bit too far.”

“I can’t tell jokes from seriousness… You startled me.”
Feeling awkward, Se Ah scratched the back of her neck. She wasn’t used to joking around like this with friends, having always been serious. She laughed nervously.

“Ah, Ms. Se Ah. You did tell the CEO about our gathering, right?”

“Yes, Ji Na.”

“Actually, I thought the CEO would attend this time. Besides this, I’m working on another project, . As I was leaving the meeting room after the meeting, the CEO said…”

Se Ah was so focused she stopped with her beer glass in hand. Everyone else listened intently to Ji Na.

“He asked me to include him in if there’s a good opportunity. He said it casually, in passing.”

“Aye, that can’t be true. You’re just making up stories, Ji Na. Those are for game creation.”

“No, it’s true.”

Everyone showed disbelief, except Do Young, whose lips stiffened.

“The CEO must be entirely focused on the Gcoms collaboration now. All the company’s funds are going there. Unless it’s that gathering.”

“Right. Oh, I passed by Le Juang on my way here. I saw the CEO sitting by the window. He was with Ms. Lee from Gcoms. I recognized her from the company, quite a beauty. Oh, how could I forget!”

“Both of them?”

“No, Nam Tae, the CEO’s father, was also there.”

“Ah, maybe they’re close?”

“Ha ha, what are you saying? The CEO is married.”

“What! Really? I thought he was single. He’s still quite young.”

“He got married last year. He’s capable, so age doesn’t matter. He doesn’t struggle with housing or anything.”

“True. But who did he marry? Must be stunning and talented, like Ms. Lee from Gcoms.”

“I don’t think so. I saw an article about Nam Tae, saying the CEO married a ward.”

“No way, really Ji Na?”

“Really. You never believe me. Hmph.”

Se Ah silently listened to her colleagues’ chatter, hoping the conversation would end soon.

But the interest didn’t die down easily.

“Look at this.”

Ji Na showed them an article: . Those who hadn’t known were speechless.

“Whoever she is, she’s so lucky.”

“It’s strange, though. The CEO’s always at the office. When did he have time for such a romance?”

“You never know. Maybe just unlucky, caught by a woman targeting a man like him. There are many who would. With the difference in their levels, it’s obvious.”

Se Ah’s hands trembled, and she clenched her fingers together. She could almost hear Nam Tae’s mocking laughter.

In a way, it was true. She had wanted him that night. But not with any ulterior motives. If that were the case, she wouldn’t have avoided his calls.

Her desperate affection led to a moment of courage that others might see differently.
Despite trying to hold back, Se Ah felt a deep sense of humiliation and tears threatened to spill.

“Let’s stop talking about people who aren’t here.”

It was Do Young who abruptly ended the heated topic, noticing Se Ah’s rapidly darkening mood. He offered her a bright smile.

“Why dwell on such petty gossip? Let’s talk about something else. It’s boring.”

“Right, let’s drop others’ stories. It’s none of our business.”

As the others shifted to a new subject, Do Young slid a cup towards Se Ah.

“Have some water.”

“I need to use the restroom for a moment.”

“Sure.”

Se Ah rushed to the restroom, feeling nauseous. She leaned against the cold tile wall, waiting for the queasiness to subside.

Kang Woo hadn’t sent a message all day, breaking his persistent daily routine.

Though it seemed silly to blame him when she hadn’t reached out either, she felt heartache at the thought she might be the only one anxious. It hadn’t been long since she’d resolved to be harsh, yet she was already soaking in the affection he had given.

“Anyway… it’s terrible…”

Regardless of the reason, whether it was striking a deal with Nam Tae or deceitfully marrying an oblivious Kang Woo, deciding to break up, or even suggesting a sham marriage contract, it was all her choice…

Yet, resentment lingered, perhaps a hangover from a long unrequited love.

She wiped her hands and cleared the tears welling up in her eyes. Practicing a bright smile, she returned to her seat.

“Ms. Se Ah, the CEO is here!”

Her eyes met with Kang Woo’s, who was adjusting his tie knot. The stern look from the previous night had softened immensely.

She could hardly hear the buzz of conversation from the others.

Only he stood out clearly, vividly etched in her sight.

Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)

One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.

Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

※※※

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

Three days later, neither of them had woken up.

Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.

Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.

The entire internet was in an uproar.

After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

※※※

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.

Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”

“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”

Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”

Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”

At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.

[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]

①Male pregnancy (highlighted)

The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
