“Tailing me means they have to work overtime every day. Waiting in the car, not just for a day or two, but till dawn.”
They would be cramped all day. Even if two people alternated the tailing, the driver’s seat would be too cramped to stretch their legs. Kang Jiho was surprisingly sympathetic.
Who’s sympathizing with whom? Rajin blinked slowly, unsure whether to laugh or feel bitter.
“You know how uncomfortable it is in a car garage, eating hamburgers.”
Hamburgers in a garage?
The memory of the savory fries and sweet shake consumed in the dark flooded her mind. Like Pavlov’s dog, saliva filled her mouth. Rajin, suddenly famished, pointed at the trolley.
“The food will get cold like this.”
Understanding Jiho chuckled and headed to the bathroom.
As he turned on the water, Rajin connected a previously brought Bluetooth speaker. Silence would make things awkward again. She pressed her favorite music on her phone.
A playlist with moderately lively songs that wouldn’t disrupt the conversation.
She then started placing the room service menu one by one on the embarrassingly small round table for four.
Jiho returned, wafting a scent of lavender, and helped out.
“I ordered what I like since I didn’t know your preference.”
“I’m not picky.”
“Ah, okay.”
“Is this music to your taste, Rajin?”
Was it a misunderstanding to set such a mood, not even a date? Rajin smiled awkwardly.
“I thought it might mask our conversation. TV is too distracting, and we need to keep our voices hidden.”
Her excuse seemed convincing enough for Jiho to nod.
“You would have suited work in the National Intelligence Service.”
“Me?”
“Well, your appearance is too conspicuous. But you definitely have a sense for handling matters.”
Pleased with the generous appraisal from her inexperienced colleague, Rajin’s shoulders swayed rhythmically.
“Here, let’s start with the rice.”
“You should eat too.”
As they politely offered food to each other, Jiho was the first to pick up a spoon.
“What happened today?”
His eating manner was impeccably neat.
“Just minor disruptions and a call from Kim Yujun.”
“Kim Yujun?”
“Big and small disturbances and a call from Kim Yujun.”
“Kim Yujun?”
“Yes. He invited me to the Myeongjin main house.”
Rajin briefed him on her conversation with Kim Yujun. Suddenly, Jiho put down his spoon with a snap.
“Nobody is allowed in the chairman’s study. Not even Myeongjin executives. But I can drink tea there.”
“How often have you been to the Myeongjin main house?”
“New Year and year-end. I usually visit about twice a year.”
She recalled her regular visits to the Myeongjin main house, like paying respects to the family elders since her stepfather was alive.
“The chairman’s study is twice the size of this residence. It has an inner room and a door made of iron.”
She added that it was probably a safe. Rajin wanted to be helpful, racking her brain for fuzzy memories. She regretted not paying more attention in the past.
“As you know, the chairman’s study is where everything about Myeongjin converges.”
Strategic reports that sway the group’s future, dirty company scandals, and bribe details.
She vaguely remembered overhearing conversations between her late stepfather and her healthy mother.
The study would still be Myeongjin’s heart as the chairman hadn’t retired yet.
Missing this chance would mean waiting until year-end to visit the Myeongjin main house. Then, the special investigation might be over, making now an excellent opportunity.
The chairman’s study, like a secret vault, what information to gather if she could enter now? Rajin wanted to discuss with Jiho.
“I know you might say it’s dangerous, but we can’t miss this opportunity.”
Emphasizing her point, Prosecutor Kang Jiho met her gaze calmly. His silence prolonged, making Rajin feel like she was waiting for his permission.
He tapped the edge of the round table thoughtfully, his normally straight brow now furrowed.
“Rajin…”
He called her name, then chose silence again.
“I might not bring back anything significant.”
She was about to say she might just eat and come back.
Ding-dong― the sudden ring of the doorbell.
Both froze.
The bell seemed too urgent for a staff member to collect the room service trolley.
Confused, Rajin glanced between the door and Jiho. He silently motioned her to be quiet and moved stealthily.
Peering through the peephole, Jiho returned to Rajin.
“It’s Oh Jonghyuk.”
He whispered just audibly.
Why would Oh Jonghyuk follow her here? Rajin wanted to hit herself for revealing her location.
But there was no time to hesitate. The doorbell rang incessantly.
“Act naturally to avoid getting caught.”
Prosecutor Kang Jiho carefully picked up his plate and spoon from the table, then pointed to the bathroom.
There was nowhere to hide in the studio apartment.
“Just say something. It will quiet him down.”
Guided by his instructions, Rajin nodded and then loudly slammed the bathroom door, shouting.
“Who is it!”
“Hey! Why aren’t you opening the door?”
“I was showering. Wait, let me get dressed!”
The incessant ringing stopped at Rajin’s shout.
Thoughts later, actions first.
He quickly hid his plate and spoon under the bed, then entered the bathroom and turned on the shower.
Hot steam filled the air as he scattered water towards the wall, standing close to it.
“I’ll be behind the shower curtain. Pretend you just finished bathing.”
His breath mingled with the hot steam, enveloping Rajin’s body.
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
