Ah, I’m nervous…
Even though I made up my mind from the beginning, I still felt nervous. Even taking deep breaths, it was difficult to properly regulate my irregular breathing.
After finishing the shower a while ago, I hesitated to step out of the room. Although I was the one who spoke up, I had many unnecessary worries about what to say to Joon when I go out.
Due to nervousness, I quickly put on the blouse and pants I grabbed as soon as possible before heading straight to the bathroom. I picked whatever was visible in the suitcase without much thought.
Now I see that the blouse had buttons tightly fastened from the collarbone to the hem. I briefly laughed at the thought that I had chosen an outfit with so many buttons.
Ah, still, it’s nerve-wracking…
The deeply exhaled breath scattered through the hot steam in the bathroom.
Thunk, my tensed-up body, despite the sound of the door opening, reacted sensitively and shrunk.
Turning my gaze diagonally as my body remembered, I saw Joon’s back. You were sitting by the window, where the sliding door was open, looking at the night sky filled with stars.
It was a sight I had often seen when I was twenty.
You were leaning your arms behind you, basking in the sun pouring in like a flood, despite the spaciousness of the large window. That was how you looked back then, sitting quietly with your eyes closed.
As soon as I discovered you, I immediately changed my direction and sat next to you, wrapping my knees and embracing you. That was how I shared the sunlight you were receiving, feeling the heat of early summer together at that time.
Whether it was because of the heat of the sunlight or the heat of my emotions toward you, who were quietly closing your eyes and breathing lightly. I spent a long time looking at your side, holding one reddened cheek against my knee.
The sunlight, the sparkling you, and me looking at you by your side. I wanted to preserve those moments as they were, only for myself.
In the place where I spent those moments. Now, Jun without the boyishness, quietly gazing at the night sky flowing with only warm emotions, as if wishing for the moon to rise.
I moved closer to Jun. In the sight of getting closer to Jun, the wine glass he was holding came into view.
I sensed Jun trying to turn around to look back. Before Jun’s gaze reached me, I quickly sat in the seat next to him. However, I couldn’t avoid Jun’s gaze trying to come to me. The gaze, which might be somewhere on my face, made my right ear and cheek tingle.
Without looking at Jun, I said.
“I also…”
“Yeah?”
The sound of Jun turning toward me was heard.
“I also, wine…”
“Ah, wine.”
Without any reaction, I glanced slightly to the side. Jun, without any expression, looked at me, then lowered his gaze to my lips. Without saying anything, quietly.
“I want wine too. I’m so nervous right now….”
With a trembling voice and a similar expression, I reached out toward the wine glass Joon was holding. However, Joon casually moved the wine glass to the side, causing my hand to end up in the air, leaving only a meaningless gesture.
As I raised my head after losing the target, Joon, looking down at me with a tightened corner of his mouth, appeared.
“I didn’t say I’d give you any.”
“Just give me a sip.”
“No. Your tolerance for alcohol is weak. I don’t want to blame tonight’s memories on the influence of alcohol.”
“So just a sip. Just a sip is okay.”
“…I don’t know.”
Joon looked at me intently. His intense gaze once again settled on my lips. And then.
“Well, just taste it a little.”
Joon’s body leaned towards me in an instant. Without any waiting, Joon’s lips, moistened by the wine we had just drunk, felt slightly damp. From Joon, who entered gently, a sweet taste of wine spread.
“Why do you keep running away?”
As my tense body passively endured, attempting to step back due to the suffocating breath, Joon wrapped my neck so that he couldn’t move away anymore. Then, after a while, he moved his lips away and looked closely at my face, which had turned red as much as possible.
While feeling the heartbeat faster than usual, I didn’t avoid Joon’s persistent gaze trying to confirm my sincerity.
Having sensed my trembling, Joon entered my mouth much more gently and cautiously. And then, he just lightly touched and let go. Whether it was because of Joon’s kiss just now or because of the wine, everything felt hazy.
“I… want more.”
Joon chuckled while licking his trembling lower lip and hearing the softly spoken words.
“Now, has the tension eased a bit?”
“No. Not at all… So, just a little more.”
Then Joon suddenly leaned his upper body toward me again, turning his head, and started approaching. When I, surprised, momentarily frowned and pushed my chest away, Joon, as if it were just a joke, easily stepped back and laughed.
“Haru, do you know?”
“Yeah?”
“I’m making one wish right now.”
“Wish? What wish?”
I gazed at Joon’s calm side, reminiscent of the quiet night sky.
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.”
