“……!”
Dajeong was utterly shocked. A man with an owner? It clearly referred to Taesang. And judging by the tone of his speech, it seemed he thought I had schemed to get Taesang involved.
Dajeong stiffened and couldn’t say a word.
“What’s the matter?”
Perhaps sensing something unusual, the manager, who had been watching from a distance, quickly approached.
“Are you the manager?”
“Yes. That’s correct. If there’s anything uncomfortable, could you please let me know?”
“Yes.”
Seonjae quickly explained the situation in a sharp tone. Then, he added something he hadn’t said to me before, suddenly steering the situation in his favor.
“Who doesn’t know you have to check in your luggage? But since Air Korea’s baggage service is such a mess, I didn’t bring it in on purpose. I’ve lost my luggage more than once.”
“I see. I apologize.”
“Even though I mentioned that I brought it in because there are important documents to be delivered……”
Seonjae spoke, lowering his head as if to say it was pathetic. The manager bent his knees and sat down, aligning his eyes with Seonjae’s. Then, he sincerely apologized.
“I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. I will handle the luggage, so please don’t worry. If there’s anything else you need to take care of, feel free to call us.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
“I’m sorry…….”
It was not an easy task to remain silent while the superior apologized. Dajeong followed suit, bending over with him.
Seonjae glanced at her slowly. Satisfaction seemed to drip from his eyes.
After putting the bag away, the manager glared at Dajeong sternly. The message to follow him was clear.
As Gali followed him inside, the manager looked around suspiciously. It seemed he was looking for a manager flight attendant.
Fortunately, she was talking to ground staff at the boarding gate. As if relieved that he hadn’t seen the whole situation, the manager sighed deeply.
Then, with eyes gleaming with satisfaction, he glared at Dajeong.
“Hanjung, are you in your right mind now? I just asked you to do well today and made that request just five minutes ago, only five minutes ago. But is this how you do well? Huh? Throwing away the VVIP bag like this?”
“Manager, it’s not like that. It really didn’t happen that way.”
“I don’t care what happened or how it happened. Write it in your diary and I don’t want to hear it. From now on, just do whatever the passenger tells you to do. Do everything they ask, understand?”
He spoke quickly, lowering his voice as much as possible. He wasn’t usually so sensitive, but it seemed his nerves were extremely sharp due to the ongoing evaluation.
Dajeong swallowed her unjust feelings.
“I understand.”
A weighty word settled over their joined hands. The moment that shattered the expectations of an easy trip had come.
Thump.
Dajeong rose from her seat with a rigid, plaster-like expression.
How many times has this been now? Dajeong gave up counting the moments when it exceeded twenty.
Throughout the flight, Seonjae found fault with everything.
The coffee is too hot when served, and if served again, it’s suddenly too cold. His complaining face, accompanied by a sly smile, seemed rather enjoyable.
With clenched teeth, Dajeong headed towards the cabin.
She just wished this flight would end quickly, for the typhoon named Kang Seonjae to pass swiftly. That was the only thought in her mind.
“Is there anything you need?”
Dajeong repeated the question several times.
“Yes. Sorry, but could you please bring down my luggage?”
“Luggage…?”
The commotion on the ground flashed in her mind again. The manager who scolded her to stand upright, Seonjae mocking her for stealing another man. In an instant, her spine stiffened.
“Yes, I have some documents to review.”
“…Yes, I understand.”
“Oh, and.”
Reaching towards the shelf, he suddenly spoke.
“I was talking with the manager earlier and found out that…”
“Yes…”
A ominous feeling swept through her throat.
“We’re taking the same flight again tomorrow. Fate is truly deep, isn’t it?”
“…”
Dajeong couldn’t respond.
She thought she just had to endure today. But suddenly, the tunnel in front of her seemed to double in length.
“What are you doing? Not bringing down the luggage?”
Standing with a hardened face, Seonjae lightly urged her. Dajeong answered in a muffled voice and finally moved her hands again.
With a clatter, as she opened the overhead shelf, a black trolley came into view. Dajeong held the handle with one hand and supported the bottom of the bag with the other.
As she pulled the bag with force, the plane suddenly shook violently.
“Oops!”
Dajeong quickly withdrew the hand supporting the bag and hastily grabbed the shelf. The floor was shaking frantically, and the half-slipped trolley slid down rapidly.
Dajeong used all her strength to hold the handle. However, it wasn’t easy to stop the already tilted bag with one hand.
‘Thump.’
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.”
