Observing Yeonu’s face, which had already grown pale, made Geon’s heart ache.

Yeonu let out a deep sigh and spoke with a weakened voice compared to earlier.

“…It seems like all of this happened because of me.”

“It can’t be. It’s not because of you.”

Why would it be Yeonu’s fault that she received Salsu’s attack?

Although an investigation was needed to determine the truth, it was impossible for the reason Salsu appeared to be Yeonu’s fault.

Despite Geon’s comfort, Yeonu, with a heavy head, shook it horizontally.

“The man from earlier, it was Kim Taeseok.”

“!”

Geon’s face stiffened at the mention of Kim Taeseok.

“He tried to harm Nari during the last tiger hunt, and he confronted her at the palace, the salamander.”

Kim Taeseok, who received the Ming’s order, was someone who moved under Hwan’s orders. Since Hwan’s target was only Geon, Kim Taeseok had no reason to target Yeonu.

However, Yeonu’s next words clarified Geon’s doubts.

“That man did target me. During the tiger hunt, he saw my face.”

“!”

Geon’s pupils shook slightly at the unexpected story.

Although he had heard that Yeonu had checked Kim Taeseok’s face, he didn’t know that Kim Taeseok had seen Yeonu’s face.

Kim Taeseok was under the guise of a Ming officer. If Yeonu revealed his true identity, it would be detrimental to Kim Taeseok.

Just knowing his identity was enough for Kim Taeseok to have a reason to attack Yeonu.

“In fact, he was approaching, and I was aware of it.”

“What are you talking about?”
“When I went to Hye Minseo to prepare the medicine, there was a following gaze. At that time, I thought I was being overly sensitive and overlooked it… Now, thinking back, it was Kim Taeseok. I didn’t think it could be him.”

The fact that Kim Taeseok knew Yeonu’s face and that he was pursuing her was a serious matter. Geon was puzzled as to why Yeonu hadn’t mentioned anything important related to Kim Taeseok before.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

If she had told him earlier, he would have protected Yeonu. At least, he wouldn’t have let her fall into such a dangerous situation today.

“…I didn’t want to cause trouble for Nari. Considering how troubled you were because of the prince’s deterioration and Salsu’s identity, I couldn’t burden you with additional worries.”

While he appreciated Geon’s consideration, there was no harm in Yeonu telling him the truth. Even if it caused trouble, it would be much better than Yeonu being in a dangerous situation.

Geon let out a deep sigh.

“Haah…”

Feeling responsible for Yeonu being in a dangerous situation, Geon’s heart became heavy.

The sigh from Geon was out of guilt, but Yeonu, thinking that the cause was her fault, spoke with a crawling voice.

“This whole thing is because of me. Choa Agassi’s family got involved because of me.”

“It’s not because of you, so don’t say such things.”

“I should have handled everything properly from the beginning… I was foolish.”

Yeonu bowed her head deeply, matching the weight of her heart.

In the gradually darkening voice of Yeonu, there was a hint of moisture.

“If I had handled things properly… Dae Bok Hyungnim wouldn’t have been hurt.”

“Hong Yeonu.”

“Then, I wouldn’t have caused trouble for Choa Agassi’s family…”

Now, whether Geon’s words reached her or not, Yeonu delved into an endless abyss, obsessively blaming herself like someone determined to be self-loathing.

Sensing that it was becoming unbearable, Geon gently covered Yeonu’s face with his hands.

Then, he slowly raised her face to meet his.

“Hong Yeonu. Look at me.”

“…?”

Lifting her gaze from the ground, Yeonu stared at Geon.

Upon seeing her large pupils, the tears that had been trapped in her eyes rolled down her cheeks weakly.

Seeing Yeonu in pain, Geon’s heart trembled as if it were falling to the ground.

Was his heart so fragile? Like porcelain shattering on the floor, his heart seemed to break into pieces.

At the same time, a heavy burden was added to Geon’s heart.

If anyone should feel guilt, if anyone should shed tears, it was Geon, who had dragged Yeonu into such a dangerous situation.

If there was anyone to blame, it was those behind the scenes who put her in danger.

If Yeonu hadn’t sought to save Geon in the first place, there would have been no encounter with Salsu. Even if there had been an encounter, it wouldn’t have led to such unnecessary danger if Yeonu hadn’t intervened.
I should not have allowed Yeonu to follow the tiger hunting.

The current situation, where Yeonu is in danger, felt entirely like my fault.

But regretting what had already happened was a task impossible to undo. Geon suppressed the boiling guilt and anger within himself.

Then, after letting out a deep sigh, he stared directly at Yeonu and spoke.

“It’s not your fault.”

If there is any blame, it’s on me for dragging you into a dangerous situation.

“From now on, no matter how trivial it may be, share everything with me. That’s the only way I can protect you.”

Yeonu, gazing at Geon with moist eyes, nodded weakly.

“Remember, you’re mine.”

“Yes, I remember.”

“In the future, there should be nothing hidden from me. Don’t even lie.”

The warmth emanating from Geon’s large hands melted Yeonu’s cold face.

“I will definitely protect you. I will always be on your side. So be honest with me.”

It meant more than just dealing with today’s events. Just as Yeonu had been a source of strength for Geon, he wanted to become a reliable person for her. If Yeonu needed to pour out her difficulties, he was always willing to listen. If she revealed her identity as a woman, he was ready to accept it, as long as Yeonu was prepared.

As long as Yeonu was ready.

“Make a promise. That you won’t hide anything from me.”

“…”

At Geon’s request for a promise, Yeonu hesitated for a moment.

During that short pause, an uneasiness crept into Geon’s heart.

Was it that Yeonu didn’t trust him enough to confide in him as Byung would say? Reading the uneasiness, Yeonu responded.

“…I promise.”

“Good…”

Geon was bothered by Yeonu’s reluctant answer, but now was not the time to dwell on it. He believed that someday Yeonu would open up to him. The day would come when she revealed her true self as a woman.

Until then, all he had to do was give her trust, wait, and be ready for the day when Yeonu opened the door to her heart.

As if proving his feelings for Yeonu, Geon cautiously embraced her.

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.”
