“I am different from you, Mom. I don’t want to be obsessed with love, and I don’t want to give up my life and miss the opportunity for success because of a man. Let’s date because our conditions match. So, it’s like a contractual relationship.”
“Are you deceiving… Mom?”
Hyesuk’s eyes trembled as if shocked.
“Mom can’t control her expression. So, after that person leaves, I was planning to explain everything to Mom at night. So, listen to me instead of Sajun.”
Unable to say anything more, Hyesuk was left speechless, captivated by Taehui’s resolute expression.
At that moment, Taehui’s phone rang.
“I’ll take the call.”
As Taehui disappeared to another room, Hyesuk finally let out a small sigh and mumbled,
“I wonder if he knows something.”
“Wow. Did you book everything?”
Taehui’s eyes widened as she talked with Sajun on the phone.
There was a favor she asked Sajun before parting ways last night.
It remains to be seen whether reservations are possible for the Lloyd store at Taesung Department Store and the omakase specialty restaurant called Kang Madame.
Both places operate on a 100% reservation basis, and Min Seontae and the woman accompanying him visit both locations every Sunday with close acquaintances and married couples.
“But Sajun, are you a VIP at Taesung Department Store? No, are you a VVIP?”
While asking, something felt strange. Sajun disliked crowded places, and he often used individual curated shops rather than department stores.
[Neither.]“Then how is that possible?”
[He’s the son of the department store’s CEO and also the executive director.]“A friend?”
Sajun chuckled as if he found the comment amusing.
“Oh, that group.”
Sajun had a monthly gathering he always attended. Although it was said to be a place for exchanging information, it seemed more like a gathering where chaebol heirs gathered to show off their wealth and build connections.
The conditions for becoming a member seemed strict at first, and within the group, there existed a hierarchy. Sajun belonged to the top 1% in that group.
In conclusion, whatever Sajun asked for, the group members would never refuse.
Despite thinking that Sajun going to such a pretentious and vain gathering was naive and pitiful, Taehui now felt the need to change that perception.
“Anyway, thanks, Sajun.”
[No reward this time?]Finally, it seemed like Sajun was showing a bit of dissatisfaction.
“If I accept too easily, the value of the reward goes down, right?”
Thinking it wasn’t bad, Taehui hung up.
As they went back downstairs, Hyesuk was doing the dishes. Taehui approached her and stood for a moment, watching Hyesuk’s back.
Even without the passing of time, her small stature had become even smaller, and there were sporadic white hairs on her once shiny, pitch-black hair.
As I grow older, our mom becomes smaller and weaker.
That saddened Taehui.
Approaching Hyesuk from behind, Taehui hugged her waist.
“Sajun is taking Mom out for lunch. How about having a meal and shopping at Taesung Department Store?”
Lunch and shopping were actually excuses. Every time she saw Hyesuk shrinking like a sinner in front of that woman, Taehui felt angry.
So, for the next hundred days, she planned to watch Hyesuk freely. Hyesuk, who didn’t shrink in front of that woman, and that woman who trembled with anger.
“Ah, why bother. Just you two go and have fun. You know I’ve never left this neighborhood, right?”
Hyesuk feared leaving this neighborhood, or more precisely, going outside the house.
This house was the only safe place for Hyesuk, a kind of bunker.
Knowing it too well, Taehui sent all her salary to Hyesuk and invested everything in this house.
She hoped that this one place, where Hyesuk could rest comfortably, would be cozy, bright, and lively.
“You’re late. That guy, Lee Inyong, rented a car to go with Mom and has already returned it. He said to return the car again and come over?”
“If it’s not a real relationship. But why would Mom follow them with such audacity?”
At Hyesuk’s feeble words, Taehui responded with a burst of anger.
“Why no shame? How many absurd things has Mom done for Sajun in the past 13 years? I’m still shielding Sajun even now. So, be confident with Sajun, be confident in front of those people. Mom has to be confident for her daughter to be confident too.”
With an expression that seemed unable to stop her, Hyesuk smiled, acknowledging.
Only then did Taehui go back upstairs to prepare for the outing.
Except for when going to a big hospital, leaving this neighborhood was really a rare occasion.
Sitting in the back seat, Hyesuk awkwardly gazed at the passing scenery outside the car window.
Then, she looked back at Taehui and Sajun in the front seats.
Certainly, her daughter said so.
Their feelings for each other were long-standing familiarity and comfort, not romantic love between genders.
However, to Hyesuk, it didn’t seem that way.
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.
