Upon hearing that a person with such a mentality had suffered an accident, a chill ran down my entire body. Seeing Yerin’s face turn pale, Ihyun extended his hand.
“Are you okay?”
“Sigh. Yes.”
Taking a deep breath, Yerin looked with fearful eyes at her house, the entrance to the villa. Ihyun spoke with a firm tone.
“Miss Hanyerin, listen carefully. I can’t leave you alone here today.”
Yerin nodded with a face full of fear. Even if Ihyun hadn’t said it that way, Yerin herself felt that she couldn’t sleep here tonight.
“Don’t even think about coming here for the time being.”
Then, Ihyun swiftly started the car.
“I’ll send someone to take care of urgent matters tomorrow, so for today, let’s go to our house first.”
There was no memory of how they ended up at Ihyun’s house.
“First, have some of this.”
When Yerin regained her composure, Ihyun was offering her warm tea that he personally brewed.
Yerin reached out with trembling hands to grab the teacup.
“Thank you.”
In a moment of distraction, Yerin’s grip loosened, and she accidentally dropped the teacup.
“Miss Hanyerin!”
Ihyun urgently approached, but the tea had already spilled.
Fortunately, after cooling the tea a bit, Ihyun brought it out, and although it wasn’t scalding hot, some had dripped onto Yerin’s leg.
“Are you okay?”
“What? Oh, yes.”
Surprised, Yerin stood frozen in place.
Without hesitation, Ihyun immediately embraced Yerin with both arms.
Startled, Yerin, without realizing it, instinctively wrapped her arms around Ihyun’s neck.
“First, we need to remove the heat from your legs.”
Quickly walking to the bathroom, Ihyun prepared the bathtub for Yerin to sit in and turned on the cold water.
Positioning the shower hose over Yerin’s legs, he let the water flow.
Most of the tea spilled on the floor, so they were extremely fortunate.
“It doesn’t seem to have spilled much on your legs, but just in case, I’ll perform first aid and call Dr. Kim. Hold onto this for now.”
Yerin accepted the showerhead offered by Ihyun in a moment.
After closely examining the wet stockings clinging to Yerin’s legs, Ihyun sighed briefly.
“I think these need to come off.”
“The stockings?”
“Yes. Can you do it?”
Just as Yerin was about to nod her head, seeing the stockings already soaked, Ihyun uttered one more serious remark.
“I’ll buy you new ones. Wouldn’t it be faster if I tear them off now?”
“No! No.”
Yerin quickly rejected the idea while handing the showerhead to Ihyun.
“Can I do it myself?”
“Sure, then.”
“Could you just hold the showerhead for me?”
“Of course.”
As Yerin handed the shower hose to Ihyun, the moment he received it, the wet floor caused Ihyun to miss grabbing the showerhead properly.
As a result, water from the shower splashed into the air.
“Oops?”
It seemed that the startled Yerin, in her confusion, had pressed the button that led to the sunflower-shaped showerhead.
Swoosh-
Suddenly, water began pouring over the heads of the two.
“Oh, what do we do?”
Stunned, Yerin stood frozen in place, and Ihyun quickly got up to turn off the water.
It was a series of bewildering situations.
Yerin and Ihyun faced each other, their clothes soaked with water, and belatedly burst into laughter.
“Hahaha.”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t do that on purpose.”
“Thanks to you, it’s refreshing and nice.”
Ihyun put the showerhead on the floor for the time being and used one hand to wipe off the water from his face.
Even simple movements like that looked cool on him.
“First, I’ll go out and find clothes for Miss Hanyerin to wear. It would be better to take off the stockings during that time.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“If you find it difficult on your own, feel free to ask for help anytime.”
It was a joke thrown by Ihyun, pretending to be nonchalant, for Yerin, who had been tense due to surprise.
Hearing that, Yerin narrowed her eyes and looked at Ihyun.
“There probably won’t be such a need, so could you please leave the room quickly?”
“Sure.”
After Ihyun left, the bathroom door closed with a click.
Yerin, looking at the stockings clinging to her legs, wet from the water, sighed softly.
“I guess it would have been better if Ihyun just tore them off like he said…”
Whether it was because of the water or her hands not cooperating well, taking off the stockings was twice as difficult as usual.
Groaning, Yerin managed to take off the stockings alone, and right on cue, Ihyun’s voice came from outside the bathroom.
“Is it okay to come in now?”
“Yes.”
Ihyun came in and once again turned on the cold water with the shower hose in hand.
“Ihyun, the tea barely splashed on my legs. Do we really need to call Dr. Kim?”
Considering the time and the fact that it wasn’t severe, Yerin spoke casually.
“Do you have burn ointment at home?”
“If you look, there should be.”
“Then, applying that should be enough.”
“But make sure to go to the hospital tomorrow.”
“Yes, I will.”
After applying burn ointment around her ankle, Yerin came out of the bathroom.
More water had flowed down from poorly adjusting the shower hose than from the wet clothes.
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.”
