“I am a witness passing by.”
Silently appearing, Seongjae smiled at Sehee.
“The recent situation is considered self-defense on the part of this woman.”
Seongjae began with the conclusion.
“So, I’ve been watching from the beginning until now. When this woman was coming out of the mart, the harasser suddenly jumped in, grabbed the bag, and… uh, the waist… I’ll stop here.”
Seongjae shook his head as if anticipating Sehee’s awkward position as the victim, concluding his statement.
“What? Harasser?”
As the police nodded in response to Seongjae’s words, Hyojun frothed at the mouth and protested.
“Now, calm down. Is it correct that you forcibly touched her?”
The police, whose expression changed with Seongjae’s explanation, asked Hyojun.
“That, that’s…”
Hyojun’s face crumpled.
“He suddenly appeared and grabbed my waist?”
This time, the police asked Sehee.
The bewildered Sehee just nodded.
“On a dark night, a man suddenly rushing toward this woman and grabbing her waist. How surprised must you have been? Naturally, you’d swing anything you could grab.”
Seongjae added, helping the confused police make sense of the situation.
“From what I saw, this incident appears to be self-defense on the part of the woman to prevent harassment.”
Seongjae neatly concluded.
“Oh, yes. I see. You must have been very surprised.”
The police, who had been looking at Sehee with suspicious eyes until now, turned into pitiful glances toward the victim.
“Yes? Yes… Well, something like that.”
Sehee simply nodded along with Seongjae’s narrative.
“Self-defense? Is wielding a club self-defense? Harassment, you say? And it’s because I have a relationship with her. It’s all because of you. Thank you very much, really.”
Hyojun began to rant.
“Did you grab the waist first? And if it’s a circle, does that mean you can touch the body as you like?”
Seongjae delivered a blow to Hyojun’s argument.
“Ha, really. What on earth are you? What business do you have meddling?”
As if telling him to leave, Hyojun shouted at Seongjae.
“I’m a passing witness. Since you don’t understand words so well, tsk tsk tsk.”
He got what he deserved.
Swallowing his words, Seongjae bit his tongue.
“Then, for now, both of you need to go to the police station and make statements.”
As the police tried to wrap up the situation, Seongjae took out a high-quality business card from his pocket and handed it over.
“I am a person with a clear identity. I will accompany this woman. Please take care of only the harasser.”
The police, receiving Seongjae’s business card, were startled.
It was a business card from a prominent figure, the Deputy General Manager of Sihaan Group, who had recently swept through Yangyang County and the city center for business purposes.
“Ah… I heard you came to the Yangyang area for business recently.”
“Ah, you recognize me even though I’m not a well-known figure. Thank you.”
Seongjae politely greeted the police while holding back his words.
“Now, please go to the police station and file your statement.”
“Oh, no. It’s not like that. He’s someone who’s been working hard for the development of our region. Well, then, I’ll take only him… No, just that person.”
The police, who had just greeted them, grabbed Hyojun roughly.
“No, why isn’t anyone listening to me? Harasser, you say. Fine. Please check the CCTV, CCTV, right?”
Hyojun jumped around in excitement.
“Oh, there’s no CCTV around here, making it difficult for security, right? We plan to install it soon from our side, as a donation for regional development.”
Seongjae politely greeted once again.
“Oh, yes. Thank you so much for this.”
After nodding once again, the police took Hyojun away, who was making a commotion.
When the police car disappeared from sight, Seongjae approached Sehee.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
He took care of Sehee in the most gentle way.
“Thank you.”
“I just did what was naturally expected of Sehee as her dark knight.”
Seongjae smiled brightly at the slightly smiling Sehee.
And he began picking up Sehee’s scattered belongings on the street.
“I’ll do this.”
A bewildered Sehee quickly started organizing her belongings.
“Let’s do it together.”
Seongjae offered, speaking kindly.
“Since when were you watching?”
Sehee, who had picked up all the fallen items, asked casually.
To be honest, when the ruffian grabbed Sehee’s waist, I was about to pounce on him.”
Seongjae stared intently at Sehee’s hands.
“Sehee’s bat was faster. Too bad, but oh well.”
Seongjae burst into laughter.
For a moment, Sehee’s face turned red.
“W-Well, I’m not usually like that. It’s just that I was so angry, that’s all.”
“Of course. If you’re angry, you should express it. Otherwise, it’s bad for your health. You did well. Still, I guess I’m not the type to jump into a fight to that extent. Right?”
Seongjae asked playfully.
“Mr. Seongjae.”
Sehee glared at him quietly.
“Hahaha. Just kidding. Just kidding.”
Laughing heartily, Seongjae took the lead, walking ahead.
“Is the residence around here?”
Before they knew it, the two had arrived in front of Sehee’s residence.
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.”
