It was my mother who suggested a honeymoon trip. I felt monitored as she spread the news directly to the press. How can I meet another woman, leaving Seo Ah alone?
Was he pretending to be affectionate just because he had to show a loving appearance? He hasn’t reverted to his old ways, now that everything’s over, has he?
With that thought, she suddenly felt depressed.
Soon, she climbed onto the bed, leaning against the head, and checked her phone gallery.
She had saved photos of her and Ha Joon in Jeju Island, and she soaked in nostalgia, flipping through them one by one.
She stared intently at the photo she had shown Ha Joon while drunk the night before.
Smile like this.
A picture of Ha Joon riding a horse, revealing his back and smiling brightly.
The memory of the previous night made her even more depressed.
How can a healthy adult man do nothing while in a spa with a woman?
He probably doesn’t see me as a woman……. I guess I really have no appeal…….
It wasn’t important that he did nothing. The problem was that he didn’t seem to see her as a woman.
Then, suddenly, the words Yeong Ju had said came to mind.
I think there are two ways. Continue to refuse until you want to find another woman, or surrender…… Make him lose interest.
Did he lose interest in just one night?
Seo Ah’s pupils shook fiercely, and her whole body trembled.
Regret washed over her.
She wanted to prevent him from wanting to find another woman somehow, but was it now in vain?
Choked up, tears filled her eyes.
She thought she had gotten a little closer to him, but she felt hopeless again.
Seo Ah, who had unknowingly shed tears, froze as she tried to wipe them.
If she cried, would he gently comfort her like he did before their first night together?
Ah! When she was injured! He did it then,
Seo Ah’s gaze turned to the electric pot and mug on one side of the room. Should she get hurt again?
Then, she shook her head fiercely.
‘What are you doing, Han Seo Ah.’
She was sure before marriage that she wouldn’t care if he didn’t pay attention to her, but now she needed to calm down.
The play was over.
Last night’s events confirmed that he didn’t see her as a woman, so she needed to be even more collected.
Then, a thought struck her!!
Why should a woman hang on to a man? Can’t you see me as a woman? Am I really that unattractive?
A memory she had not remembered popped up.
You’re crazy!! Han Seo Ah!!
Seo Ah hit her head on the bed and ruffled her hair, blaming herself.
She wouldn’t have said that openly if she wasn’t crazy!!
She just wanted Ha Joon to see her as a woman, she just wanted to be loved by him, but,
If you only heard what she had said, she would have looked like someone who was restless for not being able to get a mate.
The words and actions she had taken afterwards also came to mind one by one.
And the confession she had made at the end.
But…… I haven’t found a man like Kang Ha Joon……
Ugh!!!
Then,
Bang! The door opened.
Startled, Seo Ah quickly lifted her head.
Seeing Ha Joon’s stunned face, Seo Ah felt a sudden pang of regret. Her hair was a mess, not at all presentable!
However, his words set her body and mind on fire, causing her hair to rise from the chills running up her spine.
“Looks like you’ve remembered something you wanted to forget?”
Seo Ah straightened her tangled hair and thought quickly.
“I, I forgot to write the report.”
Seo Ah thought she had come up with a very good excuse. She thought she needed to get out of the room and calm her mind under the pretext of writing a report.
She immediately tried to get up and go get her laptop, but she had to pass Ha Joon to do so.
Why isn’t he lying down on the bed quickly, what’s he doing standing there? She tried to pass him nonchalantly, but…
She was grabbed by the arm by Ha Joon.
Unconsciously, Seo Ah lifted her head to look at him.
“Did you cry?”
At his words, Seo Ah flinched. Did she look that obvious? She thought her messed up hair was the only telltale sign.
However, suddenly his tender tone, the look in his eyes, and his expression made her choke up, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
“Something got… got into my eyes…”
“Why, did your mother say something?”
“No, no… that’s not it…”
“Then why?”
The tears hanging in Seo Ah’s big eyes trickled down her cheeks.
Then, Ha Joon gently wiped away her tears with his thumb, his large hand cradling her face.
Seo Ah was startled by his unexpected tenderness. Was he really so susceptible to a woman’s tears? Was it natural to be this gentle to a crying woman?
“It has nothing to do with you, so mind your own business.”
Seo Ah spat out words she didn’t mean, swatting away his hand that was cradling her face.
She wanted to bury herself in his arms and cry her heart out right then and there, but she feared she might end up revealing the real reason she was crying.
She didn’t want to reveal her true feelings to him, especially without knowing how he felt about her.
“Do you remember? Last night.”
“…”
Ha. Seo Ah laughed inwardly. Was that what he was curious about even now? Did he want an apology that much?
“Yes, I remember everything. I’ll apologize. I’m sorry, I’m usually sensitive and can’t sleep well, and I made you sleep on the sofa.”
Seo Ah was struggling to suppress her rising emotions.
Now, was he going to mock her genuine feelings as he did six years ago? Asking her if she was still in love despite trying to appear aloof? Before that happened, she thought she should draw the line.
“It doesn’t mean that I like you, Kang Ha Joon. I said there were no other men like Kang Ha Joon, which is a fact. Appearance, abilities, family, there’s nothing lacking.”
“…”
“What I said about how men shouldn’t hang on women is also a fact. I just want to show some proof that we loved each other and got married, but Kang Ha Joon, you seem to have no thoughts about it.”
“…”
Tears finally escaped from Seo Ah’s eyes. Not wanting him to notice, she bowed her head deeply, trying to shake off his hand that was holding her arm, but Ha Joon tightened his grip even more.
“Have you said everything you want to say?”
“…”
Seo Ah couldn’t say anything. She felt that if she spoke now, he would notice she was crying.
“So is it my turn to reply now?”
Seo Ah’s pupils shook uncontrollably. She had no idea what he was going to say.
“I wanted to respond immediately yesterday, but it wouldn’t have been right to say or do anything while holding a woman who was drunk and incoherent, so it was hard to hold back.”
Seo Ah, who was sure he was going to mock her, was prepared to let his words go in one ear and out the other.
But then,
He uttered something unexpected.
“Starting today, I’ll hug you as much as you appear attractive to me, as much as you appear to be a woman.”

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.”
