The original Korean paragraph consists of 33 lines. I will now translate it verbatim into English, ensuring that the English translation also has 33 lines.
They moved from the cafeteria to a cafe on the first floor.
Su Min, feeling gloomy, returned to the office, leaving only Na Young and Sa Rang for coffee time.
“Aren’t you wearing a couple ring, Sa Rang?”
“Me?”
“The ring that Manager Ji is wearing. You must have one too.”
Sa Rang, about to sip her coffee, flinched in surprise.
“How… how did you…”
“Why? Would Manager Ji suddenly date another woman? The man who joined our company just to see you, Sa Rang?”
Sa Rang’s mouth fell open.
Though it made sense, the realization that a ring indicated a relationship was surprising.
Deciding to be honest with Na Young, Sa Rang opened up.
“It feels a bit burdensome. Especially since we’re in the same office…”
Na Young nodded in understanding.
“I’m against office romances too. When I joined, a senior three years my senior was dating Manager Kim.”
“Really?”
Sa Rang’s eyes widened, surprised by the unknown fact. Na Young glanced around and lowered her voice.
“Yes, but they broke up soon, and the senior left the company.”
“Because of Manager Kim?”
“Probably. If it were me, seeing an ex-boyfriend every day at the office would be…… The team knew about them, so it was awkward.”
Sa Rang empathized with how the senior must have felt deciding to resign.
She, too, felt burdened by the attention and had decided to keep her relationship with Do Han a secret.
“So I decided when I was a newbie, especially not within our team.”
Na Young shuddered at the thought.
“A good job shouldn’t be lost over a man.”
“So be discreet in your romance, Sa Rang. Not sure how well it’ll work, though…”
“Yeah, I’m worried too.”
Could they hide their feelings while sitting right next to each other?
Sa Rang’s biggest worry was her uncontrollable heart. Just seeing Do Han made her heart race back when she was 20; now he was just a glance away.
People don’t change easily, as Ji Woo said.
She felt unconfident about it.
Surprisingly, Na Young had a different concern.
“I’m more worried about Manager Ji than you, Sa Rang.”
“Me?”
In front of others, Do Han was unlikely to slip up. That was his expertise.
“Notorious for a reason.”
“Didn’t you see earlier? He put up a wall when Su Min tried to talk to him.”
Sa Rang also found it unexpected.
It was just a brief conversation, yet he abruptly left.
She felt sorry for Su Min, who must have felt embarrassed.
“Was he showing off that he has a girlfriend?”
“No way. That’s not like him.”
Sa Rang laughed off the absurd idea.
Him, bragging about me to someone else?
Not Ji Do Han.
Even if all men might, Do Han certainly wouldn’t.
The original Korean paragraph consists of 29 lines. I will now translate it verbatim into English, ensuring that the English translation also has 29 lines.
It was hard to guess what he was thinking, his face unreadable, his voice indifferent. The idea of him bragging about being in a relationship was unimaginable.
“Don’t be so sure. From what I see, Manager Ji might cause some trouble soon.”
“Trouble?”
“Yes. Remember how he handled Manager Park from the Purchasing team?”
Though Do Han was the one hit, it was Manager Park who really suffered the blow.
Park Tae Soo of Seohan Electronics became infamous for a trifecta of drinking, sexual harassment, and violence.
Do Han was the instigator, all because Park had put his hand on Sa Rang’s shoulder.
That was enough to suggest Do Han could cause trouble elsewhere.
It seemed only his girlfriend Sa Rang was unaware of this.
“Come to think of it, Manager Ji really is a romantic. He rushes headfirst whenever his girlfriend is concerned. Although, his romance seems a bit too intense.”
Romantic usually conjures up a pure, innocent image, but Do Han wasn’t like that.
It was more of an obsession, a madness. He seemed closer to a femme fatale, luring and then destroying his lovers with his fatal charm.
Nevertheless, if seducing a woman requires one’s whole heart, that could be considered romantic too.
“Anyway, be careful, Sa Rang. Always stay alert.”
Your boyfriend might cause trouble at any moment.
Sa Rang unconsciously swallowed, as if hearing Na Young’s unspoken words.
They each left work separately.
Do Han by car, Sa Rang by subway.
Then, they met far from the office.
Their first day of secret dating felt like a scene from a spy movie.
Entering the park, their rendezvous point, Sa Rang looked around cautiously, feeling like a spy exchanging confidential information.
“Looking for someone?”
Do Han, who had arrived first, grabbed her hand as she appeared.
His searching gaze seemed dissatisfied.
“Of course, for Ji Do Han.”
Sa Rang laughed awkwardly, surprised by his sudden appearance, but also embarrassed for being caught.
The park was full of cherry blossoms, and it seemed like their colleagues might be around.
But she couldn’t let go of his hand, not with the way he was already frowning.
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.
