“Last time, when Deputy Moon seemed quite upset, I became curious about how such a rumor spread.”
It seemed like he was passing it off lightly, but he had cared enough to look into it. A warm feeling of gratitude sprouted within me.
I would have to buy him something tasty later. I perked up my ears, looking at Researcher Lee Kyung Hoon.
“I just asked a few people I know, and there’s that whiz in the A.I. department, you know, the one who’s close to Lead Ji.”
Whether Ji Seo Joon was included in the people he knew, Lee Kyung Hoon quickly nodded at his words.
“They said it was that person.”
“What’s that person’s name?”
I put down my spoon and asked.
“The person is Researcher Park Chan Young from the A.I. Research Team 2. He’s famous in the team as the whiz.”
I tilted my head at the unfamiliar name.
“Anyway, since he said that, I went and asked him, and he said he heard it from the research support team? So, I went to the research support team?”
It was Researcher Lee Kyung Hoon who had taken some trouble to dig into the rumor.
“And from the research support team, someone heard it from the marketing team, and someone from the marketing team heard it from the accounting department…… Anyway, it’s clear that it didn’t come from the research team.”
“So did you find out?”
In Ha Baek, who had been quietly listening, asked.
“No. The investigation got lost in the ether after that.”
He seemed quite regretful as he slumped his shoulders.
Truthfully, even if someone found out who it was, there wasn’t much I could do, but it did make me angry.
It was clear that this person didn’t realize that people could get hurt and suffer from a careless remark.
Even if they did know, they might not consider it a big deal. I didn’t want to believe that I was working with someone who had that kind of character.
In fact, there had been times when I had corrected the strange rumors for those who had asked me, ‘Are you a friend of Researcher Ji Seo Joon?’
However, while malicious rumors spread quickly, the ones that weren’t, broke off like a broken wheel, unable to spin.
“Thank you for caring.”
I picked up my spoon that I had put down and started eating again. If I had lost my appetite because of such a thing, I would have been starving since high school.
Seeing me eat without any problem, In Ha Baek asked.
“Deputy, are you okay?”
“Huh?”
“It’s not you who spread the rumor. But it seems like you’re not affected at all…….”
“If I said I’m not affected, it would be a lie……. I just don’t want to care about every little thing. When I was young, I did, but I realized it’s all pointless. I’ve leveled up. In this respect.”
At those words, In Ha Baek had a puzzled look. I gave her a small smile and concentrated on finishing my meal.
When I finished my meal and was about to leave the cafeteria, Ji Seo Joon grabbed me.
“Let’s talk for a moment.”
As Ji Seo Joon grabbed my arm, the gazes from those around us became even sharper.
“Can’t we do it after work?”
Ji Seo Joon, who had been looking around at my words, nodded and said he would contact me later, leaving his seat with Researcher Lee Kyung Hoon.
“Deputy, you can go ahead. I’ll drop by somewhere for a moment and then follow.”
“Okay.”
After In Ha Baek also gracefully disappeared, I returned alone to my office and enjoyed the remaining lunchtime.
That’s when the front of the office became a bit noisy.
Peeking over the partition, I saw four female employees entering the office. They were all unfamiliar faces. None of them worked on the same floor.
Those employees approached me.
“Are you Deputy Moon Da Yul?”
“Yes……”
As I answered, the female employee who had entered first introduced herself.
“Hello. I am Deputy Lee Jung Ah from the security team.”
Did the security team have business with me? There wasn’t a single security team member on the travel plan I was in charge of. I rummaged through the schedule in my head when a familiar sensation sent a warning.
Could it be……
“Yes. What is it about……”
“Well, we saw you in the cafeteria earlier, are you really friends with Principal Researcher Ji Seo Joon?”
As expected. This was it. It wasn’t a surprising question anymore.
“Yes. That’s correct.”
Then they exchanged glances with each other before speaking again.
“Could you arrange a seat for us with Researcher Ji Seo Joon?”
Oh, my head.
My head, which had been fine, started to throb again.
“That might be a bit difficult.”
The female security team member, whose eyes opened wide as if surprised at my response, was not the only one. The others in the back were the same.
“Why?”
Why?
It was the two letters that brought out the character of Moon Da Yul after a long time.
It’s not that my personality was gentle because it was overshadowed by Ji Seo Joon’s halo, it was quite intense.
When my mom went to a fortuneteller she trusted, the fortuneteller clicked her tongue as she looked at my fortune,
“This girl’s energy is too strong. What kind of girl has such strong energy? She could beat most kids. Tsk, tsk.”
She said. My worried mom asked if there was a way to calm down that personality, the fortuneteller, who was inspecting each grain of rice, said,
“She has a living talisman right next to her. Don’t worry. As long as that talisman sticks with her, she won’t have to beat up other people’s precious kids.”
She said.
That living talisman, Ji Seo Joon, became the reason why my mother treasured him even more.
“Why? I told you it would be difficult, is there a problem?”
“Excuse me?”
The security team member faltered a little when I spoke strongly.
“Ji Seo Joon has a girlfriend. I understand it’s quite a wellknown fact around the company. Weren’t you aware?”
“Well……that’s not what I meant. When did I say I was dating Mr. Ji Seo Joon? I just asked you to arrange a seat for us.”
A cornered rat bites the cat, as they say.
Deputy Lee Jung Ah from the security team, who launched a ridiculous attack as if it was her last stand, gritted her teeth.
“Yes. I see. So that’s what you meant. Deputy, you spoke in a way that could easily lead to a misunderstanding. If I misunderstood, I apologize.”
I bowed my head slightly in apology. At my apology, the corner of Deputy Lee Jung Ah’s lips turned up in a sardonic smile. Seeing that smile, I quickly added to my words.
“But your request just now, it’s a bit burdensome. I hope we don’t have such occurrences in the future.”
Employees from the same floor who had finished lunch quickly began to gather. Only then, she looked around and muttered so that everyone could hear.
“Stop showing off about being close friends. Let’s get going.”
When they had all disappeared, the team leader from the team right next to mine asked me.
“Deputy Moon. Are you okay? Gosh, women can be ruthless.”
“Yes. I’m fine.”
Such people meant nothing to me. After clearing difficulty ‘easy’, I coolly sat down at my desk.
Unaware that someone was watching me.

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.
