“It’s a pity. It would have been nice if we could have packed the wood-fired pizza on the cruise ship.”
Se-hee, sincere about her food, expressed regret after having her fill of pizza.
Her steps, empty-handed and boarding the Decorna, seemed heavy.
“Due to the cruise line’s regulations, bringing outside food is not allowed.”
Kyle followed behind with a troubled expression.
He even considered changing that rule later, as Se-hee’s disappointed face bothered him.
“Ah… right. Do you know what tonight’s event party is?”
Se-hee’s eyes sparkled for a moment.
Kyle, who received daily reports from the event department, couldn’t possibly be unaware of today’s schedule.
However, not wanting to dampen her spirits, he pretended not to know.
“Who knows?”
Kyle inquired with an innocent expression.
“A fireworks party on the ship! You really didn’t know? A lot of people are secretly looking forward to this event. Are you just too focused on business to care about such things?”
“You were looking forward to it?”
Kyle responded calmly to Se-hee’s playful question.
“Of course. I’ve never really seen anything so magnificent in my life. Being here, we must absolutely see it. And I have a partner to accompany me.”
Se-hee looked up at Kyle with an affection-filled expression.
That look made Kyle’s heart flutter significantly.
He felt a possessiveness, wanting to solely own this moment with her.
“We’ll go together, right? We agreed to attend all events together.”
Se-hee smiled brightly, naturally taking Kyle’s arm as they ascended the last step.
Kyle gently placed his hand over hers and looked down at Se-hee with a soft gaze.
“If you wish, gladly.”
Kyle’s deep voice resonated right to Se-hee’s heart.
With a strong vibration.
It wasn’t the first time she had heard his voice.
Nor was it the first time she had heard such an answer.
Yet, every time, it made her heart flutter.
Did Kyle know?
That I’m so deeply infatuated with you.
Se-hee’s face, completely immersed in tender emotions, quickly turned red.
Kyle watched her intently, a gentle smile spreading across his lips.
Beautiful.
Adorable.
The person who had returned these precious emotions to him.
Se-hee.
Did you know?
That I’m so deeply infatuated with you.
Kyle’s aqua eyes fully captured Se-hee’s blushing, happy face.
Behind them, the blue Mediterranean sky slowly turned into a beautiful sunset.
With her lips curved up towards the sky, Se-hee couldn’t contain her feelings, humming a tune in her room as she prepared for the event.
Her heart swelled with anticipation, almost feeling like it would burst.
But now, the problem was the abundance of dresses.
“Which one should I wear?”
They were all beautiful and elegant.
Although there was no specific dress code for this event, choosing an outfit as the partner of the perfect man, Kyle, required careful thought.
Her favorite dress had already been worn.
Hmm…
Se-hee decided to go for a slightly bold choice.
A bustier-style violet dress.
Wearing the dress with its matching shoes, she looked elegantly like a model.
Se-hee admired her reflection in the mirror with a satisfied expression.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
A radiant smile instantly blossomed on Se-hee’s lips.
She knew who it was without needing to be told.
How does he know exactly when it’s time?
As if calculating the moment I would be ready.
After checking her outfit one more time in the mirror, Se-hee slowly opened the door.
The moment she saw Kyle standing at the door, Se-hee was taken aback.
Good heavens.
The vest visible beneath Kyle’s black suit was also a deep violet.
As if they were a couple matched on purpose.
Having not discussed it but choosing the same color brought a strangely ticklish feeling.
Were they somehow telepathic?
Although his vest was of a different, more flamboyant material than her dress, Kyle had the ability to perfectly carry off even what could have been an overwhelming choice.
“You match so well.”
“You look truly beautiful.”
Without knowing who started, they both spoke at the same time.
And they burst into laughter together.
It was a moment filled with nothing but happiness.
Kyle stepped aside and extended his arm for an escort.
But Se-hee grabbed his hand instead of his arm.
Surprised, Kyle looked at her.
“I wanted to walk hand in hand.”
Se-hee gazed up at him.
Did you know?
How warm and secure your large hand feels.
As if he heard everything in her heart, Kyle just nodded silently.
Then, he held her hand more tightly.
Suddenly, Se-hee’s eyes welled up.
She blinked rapidly, quickly composing herself.
Holding hands, Se-hee and Kyle headed side by side to where the fireworks party was happening on the ship.
On the ship’s deck, people were scrambling for a good spot, looking for places with a clearer view of the sky.
It was almost impossible to find an empty table.
“Look, there are so many people here, right? Evans Cruise will surely be a huge success. You seem to know exactly what people like.”
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.”
