“Jump!”
Illeon’s voice was filled with strength.
The power that made Elysia’s heart race.
The strength to lift her gaze proudly towards him.
“Miss!”
From behind, Derek hurriedly called her, running towards her.
Elysia, who had turned her head to see his approach, looked forward.
She didn’t want to look back.
I want to live by looking forward.
“Elysia!”
Illeon called her again.
The fear of the unstable gap between the two ships, which were getting further apart with the surging waves and a thud, collided and was forgotten at his call.
The next moment, without hesitation, Elysia flew towards him.
“Elysia, miss!”
“Ahh!”
From behind, the commotion that had happened above her faded away.
In Elysia’s eyes, there was only Illeon.
He was smiling.
With his arms spread out, he looked straight at her as she descended. A slight smile appeared on one corner of his mouth.
Time passed slowly.
In almost the last moment, Elysia was scared that Illeon, who was on the railing of the ship he rode, would barely hit her. As time flowed slowly, the moment the strong wind hit her ears, Elysia closed her eyes tightly.
Thud.
Illeon, who had caught Elysia like that, rolled over with her in his arms as if embracing her with the recoil.
Thump, thump.
…They survived.
It couldn’t be discerned whether it was the sound of my heart beating or Illeon’s heart beating.
The familiar sandalwood scent that touched my nose, even with closed eyes, told me who this person was.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah.”
Elysia touched her chest with her hand and tried to get up.
“Illeon, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Illeon slightly wrinkled his forehead.
“Compared to the tattered heart, that is.”
Elysia’s eyes widened.
“Running away again?”
It seemed like flames might soar from Illeon’s red eyes.
“Ah… Haha.”
Without realizing it, Elysia looked up at the ship she had just jumped off.
“Did I really jump from there?”
When looking down from above, it seemed like a height where she could jump if Illeon caught her, but it was so high that she couldn’t climb back up.
“I can’t go up either.”
For some reason, a chilling premonition of wanting to escape overwhelmed her.
“Where.”
As if reading Elysia’s mind, Illeon got up, holding her wrist.
“You haven’t lost your memory.”
“You lost your memory.”
Illeon’s eyebrows furrowed disapprovingly.
“Does that give you a reason to break the promise? In the end, both Rona and Elysia ran away from me.”
“I-I’m sorry. I…”
“I don’t want your apology.”
Elysia closed her mouth.
Illeon looked at her, who had become quiet, as if reading her innermost thoughts.
“Stay by my side, Elysia.”
Illeon reached out and gently cupped her cheek.
“I’ll protect you.”
“…I don’t want that. I don’t want to be a burden to you.”
Tears that had been suppressed by her words welled up outside her body.
“I’m afraid. There are many things that scare me.”
“It’s okay because I’m not afraid.”
Illeon’s large hand rested on her head.
“I don’t even know who I am.”
“I know.”
“She might not be the girl you like.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
His affectionate touch felt like caressing not her head but her heart.
“I don’t know much about the world; I’ve only lived in the temple.”
“That’s fine. I’ve only recently opened my eyes after living on the battlefield. We can learn together.”
Illeon sighed briefly.
“That’s not a problem at all. You think too much.”
With a displeased look, he gently tapped his forehead against Elysia’s.
“Ouch.”
“You probably looked up there, thinking about running away, even though you have no strength to climb up.”
“No, it’s not like that.”
Elysia responded hesitantly, struggling to find words. After hesitating, she spoke.
“I feel like I have no strength at all. It’s hard even to protect the emotions you have for me.”
That’s why, in front of Mariella and in the face of Sonatec’s interference, she became so weak. Elysia herself was still weak, then and now.
Illeon said in a nonchalant tone, “I’m strong enough for both of us, so it’s okay even if you’re weak.”
Elysia’s violet eyes widened.
“…Where is that? I don’t like it.”
Illeon embraced Elysia tightly.
“Don’t make excuses to keep running away. Do you want to see me go crazy?”
He looked down at Elysia, who was in his arms.
“If I had escaped to the Nanku continent, I would have caused a war. I would have turned Verbe into dust, found you, and dragged you back to the Empire.”
“…Is it a joke?”
“Does it sound like a joke?”
Illeon chuckled.
“If you’re curious, try running away one more time.”
As Illeon’s arms wrapped around Elysia’s body tightened, her voice grew softer.
“How I would handle you.”
Illeon’s lips touched her forehead, the bridge of her nose, and the tip of her nose.
Illeon pressed his lips against hers, then let go, holding her close and inhaling her fragrance deeply.
“Now it feels like we’re alive.”
“How do you remember me?”
“Thanks to the compass.”
Illeon smiled bitterly.
When Elysia said her farewell, Illeon gradually awoke from a deep sleep.
Beyond a hazy consciousness, he heard her voice.
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.]
