Last night.
After hearing about the current situation of Chairman Chang Jung-hwan from Sung-jun, Do-hyuk made one request.
“I’m currently in Nokdong Port. Please don’t ask anything, and make sure there’s only one room available.”
As expected, Sung-jun’s ability to handle matters was outstanding.
He had prepared everything perfectly, understanding Do-hyuk’s feelings while recalling the passionate moment with Jae-in, and Do-hyuk expressed his heartfelt thanks.
[Thanks to you. I appreciate it.] [You’re welcome. I’ll see you in Seoul then.]Jae-in, who had no idea about the content, was eating breakfast with lingering questions.
Well, I don’t know.
“Team leader, how is it? Isn’t it delicious?”
“Hmm. It’s delicious.”
“Too bad. Since it’s so delicious, I should leave a review or something.”
“Sure, go ahead.”
Do-hyuk affectionately looked at Jae-in, who was playfully smacking her lips.
Around 12 PM, Jae-in and Do-hyuk, guided by Hye-joo, safely completed their factory inspection and returned to Haepung Fisheries.
Judging by the satisfied smile on Do-hyuk’s face, it seemed he was quite content.
Jae-in’s group had lunch at a regular restaurant run by Director Im, enjoying natural eel soup, and prepared to leave for Wando.
“Thank you very much. We will contact you after reviewing everything.”
After expressing their gratitude, when Do-hyuk was about to get into the car, Director Im stopped him.
“Team Leader Cha, what I said last night wasn’t a joke. Please think about it seriously.”
Director Im, who couldn’t let go of his lingering feelings until the end, repeatedly urged Do-hyuk.
Do-hyuk smiled and replied politely.
“Thank you very much for your kind words. However, I’m afraid what you mentioned would be difficult.”
“Why?”
Director Im’s face showed disappointment.
Hye-joo, who had put extra effort into dressing up today and looked even more stunning, had a similar expression.
“The person who ran away has come back.”
Do-hyuk respectfully bowed and got into the car.
Jae-in, standing somewhat awkwardly, watched the scene and then stylishly smiled before getting into the car.
Leaving behind the bitter expressions of the two, Jae-in and Do-hyuk set off towards Wando.
A moment later, Do-hyuk sneakily glanced at Jae-in and inquired, “Do you like it? It’s cut just as Seo Jae-in wanted, isn’t it?”
“Well, it’s only natural, isn’t it?”
“Is that all?”
“What do you mean?”
Jae-in intentionally replied somewhat curtly.
Do-hyuk chuckled and made a complaining sound, “Seo Jae-in, you’re too much. I thought I could at least get a compliment.”
“Hah!”
Do-hyuk acting like a child throwing a tantrum was rather irritating.
For no apparent reason, Jae-in blurted out words she didn’t really mean, her face flushed with embarrassment.
“By the way, it must be a pity. Today, Ms. Im looked really pretty.”
“Huh?”
“I don’t know if it’s because she used to be in beauty pageants, but she looked incredibly beautiful, even to another woman.”
“What?”
“When Team Leader turned her down, she looked genuinely disappointed.”
“As expected, being from a beauty pageant, she looks incredibly pretty even to other women.”
“What?”
“When the team leader turned her down, she genuinely seemed disappointed.”
“Seo Jae-in.”
Hm.
Do-hyuk, pausing briefly, casually dropped a bombshell with an indifferent expression.
“If you mention Im Hye-joo again, I’ll shut you up.”
“What?”
In broad daylight, inside a moving car, such a heated remark!
Jae-in was taken aback and stared at Do-hyuk.
Oh my goodness!
On Do-hyuk’s face, it was written, “100% serious!”
Jae-in gripped her pounding heart and hurriedly responded, “Team Leader, are you calling that a threat?”
“Seo Jae-in keeps talking about unnecessary things.”
“Well…”
The team leader was acting strangely, so it was still difficult for Jae-in to adapt to the bold advances from Do-hyuk after his confession.
With Jae-in staying silent and tightly pursing her lips, Do-hyuk smiled and asked, “Seo Jae-in, are you jealous right now?”
Jae-in pressed her lips tightly together, remaining silent. Do-hyuk, with a slight smile, asked, “Seo Jae-in, are you, by any chance, feeling jealous right now?”
“Oh, no, not at all!”
Upon hearing this, Do-hyuk leaned towards Jae-in and whispered, “You kissed me last night; isn’t that a bit too much? Show a little jealousy.”
“Team Leader!”
How can he be so cheeky!
Do-hyuk, who had been laughing heartily just moments ago, suddenly adopted a serious expression.
“I have a good solution.”
“What solution?”
“Seo Jae-in, all we need to do is actually date. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about things like this.”
When the words “actually date” left his mouth, Jae-in’s eyes widened like pot lids.
Date the team leader?
Me?
Even after hearing it, she couldn’t believe it, and her mind went blank, like a flickering monitor screen on the brink of malfunction.
“That, that’s not possible!”
Even after hearing it, and when she thought about it, her mind went as blank as a flickering monitor screen on the brink of malfunction.
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.”
