“Oppa, you didn’t happen to blab about my embarrassing past to Team Leader, did you?”
Jaein teased Sihwan playfully, casting a mischievous glance.
“Embarrassing past? You mean when we kissed?”
“Kissed?”
Suddenly, the veins on Dohyuk’s temples bulged.
Surprised, Jaein slapped Sihwan on the back.
“Oppa, what nonsense are you suddenly talking about!”
“Why? It’s not like I made up a story. Do you remember when we made a marriage promise back when we were kids?”
“Until when are you going to harp on about our kindergarten story? Stop talking nonsense and go inside quickly!”
Jaein, glancing at Dohyuk, forcibly pushed Sihwan, who disliked it, inside.
Upon seeing the two, Dohyuk, who had been watching with thinly opened eyes, casually remarked, “Ms. Seo Jaein, it’s a trivial matter. Why get so excited over a simple kiss?”
He emphasized ‘simple’ with a smirk, exuding the air of someone at ease with the situation.
Ugh, seriously!
Jaein could clearly see what Dohyuk was thinking, and her face grew hot.
Sihwan, with an irritated look, stared at Dohyuk and then went inside.
With the nuisance gone and finally alone with Jaein, Dohyuk closed the distance between them, approaching her.
“Ms. Yoo Sihwan calls me ‘Oppa’ very naturally, doesn’t she?”
“Well, that’s because Oppa is older than me, and so is Sihwan Oppa.”
Jaein, feeling it was a matter of course, stared intently at Dohyuk.
To which Dohyuk, with a dissatisfied voice, said, “I’m older than Mr. Yoo Sihwan, so why don’t you call me Oppa?”
“What?”
Jaein, mouth agape, froze.
Oppa? Dohyuk Oppa?
Even the thought of it sent goosebumps all over her body.
“Now that we’re dating, are you going to keep calling me ‘Team Leader’ all the time?”
“……Team Leader is appropriate.”
“Then, if I quit the company? Will you still call me ‘Team Leader’ then?”
“That’s……”
Unable to respond to Dohyuk’s sharp point, Jaein was silent.
At that moment, Dohyuk, with a glint in his eyes, said, “As a practice, can you try calling me once? Dohyuk Oppa.”
Eek!
Jaein’s face turned bright red in an instant.
“No, no!”
“Just once.”
“We don’t have time to talk about this now. I came to ask Team Leader for a favor.”
“A favor?”
“Yes. It’s something that must be done by Team Leader, no one else.”
“What is it? If Seo Jaein asks, I’ll do anything.”
“Really?”
As Dohyuk readily nodded, Jaein’s eyes sparkled with light.
On the same evening.
Yura sat uncomfortably in a private room of an elegant Chinese restaurant, her face expressing extreme discomfort.
‘How did we manage to reserve a place that’s hard to get even on a regular day for Christmas Eve? Well, that’s not important right now.’
The man Yura least wanted to encounter at this moment was none other than Kim Sungjun.
For the past few days, Sungjun had been sending messages and calls, saying, “Let’s meet and talk,” but Yura felt too awkward to respond.
However, a little while ago, Sungjun suddenly appeared in front of her as she was leaving work, insisting he had something to discuss and brought her to this place.
The thing he wanted to talk about was undoubtedly related to the absurd thing Yura had said or done last Sunday night.
The passionate deep kiss with Sungjun that had heated up her car.
‘How did I even get home? Why is that scene the only vivid memory I have?’
Yura repeatedly regretted and reflected on her actions, bowing her head deeply.
After sobering up, she had torn her hair out several times.
Despite boasting a splendid dating history, Yura had never casually met anyone.
But how did she end up kissing a man she barely knew?
Moreover, it was Kim Director, who was officially associated with her friend’s boyfriend.
And it happened precisely on that day, all because of Seong Jihoon.
It was quite a shock that she had kissed him.
The kiss with Sungjun had shattered her principles, and Yura herself felt extremely embarrassed.
‘Even if I was drunk, how could I mistake Kim Director for Seong Jihoon! It’s all because of the alcohol. I’m swearing off drinking for good!’
Yura decided to abstain from drinking, blaming it unnecessarily. Then, as she lifted her head, she was startled.
Sungjun was looking at her with a smiling face.
On his aesthetically pleasing face, the free-spirited face of Seong Jihoon was superimposed.
‘No wonder I mistook him for Seong Jihoon. They look too alike.’
While it was Yura’s fault to assume things and cover Sungjun, she realized it was a bit unfair.
Nevertheless, regardless of such thoughts, the fact remained that the apology was her responsibility.
Yura didn’t know how to start the conversation, so she awkwardly smiled for now.
‘If Kim Director brought me all the way here, why is he not saying anything? What is he thinking?’
She was tense, expecting to say something decisive.
Now that it had come to this, she wanted to speak openly and quickly come to a conclusion.
Feeling frustrated, Yura spoke first.
“Director Kim, you came because of that incident on Sunday, right? I’m truly sorry. I made a big mistake.”
“It’s okay. Such things can happen in life.”
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.”
