“What brought you all the way here suddenly?”
“I had an appointment to meet a planner around here at 3 o’clock. So, two birds with one stone, I came to see you.”
Announcer Kim took a seat opposite Seo Rin and set down her bag.
Though there was no response to her messages, Seo Rin unexpectedly contacted her to meet up.
It was the first time she saw her since she received a termination notice and resigned.
I thought she would surely look pale, but Seo Rin seemed healthier than expected.
“You seem well? I was so worried because I couldn’t reach you.”
“I’m fine. And almost done preparing for the wedding?”
“A wedding? You decided to have a wedding ceremony?”
Upon Seo Rin mentioning her decision to marry, Announcer Kim widened her eyes in surprise.
She assumed Seo Rin’s wedding would be canceled due to the public scandal. But a wedding?
‘So, the rumor was true?’
Announcer Kim recalled the news about Seo Rin’s marriage that circulated in group chats a few days ago.
She had thought it was just a baseless rumor.
But Seo Rin in front of her genuinely looked like a bride-to-be, beaming with happiness.
“Yes. I think I’ll get married early next month. I’ve booked the venue.”
“Where? You’re doing it so suddenly?”
Announcer Kim stirred her Americano with a forced smile.
She knew it was the right time to say ‘congratulations’, but she found it hard to utter the words.
“I’m having it at the L Hotel! We’ve decided to visit my fiancé’s parents this week.”
“L Hotel? People wait for a year to get married there.”
“True. At first, the hotel declined but then they reached out. Maybe my fiancé had something to do with it.”
“… That’s fortunate. Having such a fiancé.”
Announcer Kim congratulated her with a hesitant expression.
It was vexing to think Seo Rin called her during her busy lunch break just to brag.
‘Is she that happy about stealing someone’s fiancé?’
Thinking of Yeo Jin, Announcer Kim felt extreme distaste towards Seo Rin.
Unbeknownst to many, Seo Rin had always stirred discord between the broadcasting station’s employees and Yeo Jin. Kim had only realized this late due to Seo Rin’s cunning ways.
“Kim Ana, what’s the time now?”
“It’s almost one.”
“I’m out of battery! What should I do? I need to contact the planner.”
Seo Rin showed her phone with a distressed look.
Indeed, the screen of Seo Rin’s phone remained off.
Announcer Kim thought she should head back to her office.
Even though they weren’t in the company café, they were still in a café near the broadcasting station, so she was worried about attracting attention.
She didn’t want to be seen with Seo Rin and become a topic of gossip.
With a thought to wrap things up, Announcer Kim offered her phone to Seo Rin.
“Do you want to use mine?”
“Really? Can I just send one message then?”
“Yes, here.”
Seo Rin thanked her with a bright smile.
Then, after taking the phone, she began typing something frantically.
‘What’s she typing so fiercely for?’
While sending a message to the planner, Seo Rin’s eyes seemed oddly intense.
Announcer Kim gulped down the last of her coffee and set the cup down.
Seo Rin’s typing stopped after a long while.
“I’m done!”
“Shall we get going? I think I should head back to the office.”
Announcer Kim picked up her bag and stood up, addressing Seo Rin.
With a satisfied smile, Seo Rin handed back the phone to Announcer Kim.
“Thank you. As expected, only Kim Ana.”
She then approached where Announcer Kim Ana was sitting and hugged her.
The fierce glare she had just moments ago was gone, and she was back to her usual self as Seo Rin.
From morning until now, past lunch, the words Jae Ha had said kept circling in my mind.
He had said that we would marry even before Ji Han and Seo Rin.
Though he added the word ‘maybe’, recalling his unwavering eyes, it seemed very likely.
“What plan are you hatching?”
“You’ll find out in time. Their dinner is set for this weekend.”
Jae Ha simply smiled at my obviously curious face.
The more I pondered, the deeper my concerns grew, prompting me to shake my head.
‘I should stop thinking about this.’
Even though I had taken only a week off, the comfortable life at the villa during that time felt familiar, and I was easily worn out.
I checked the afternoon schedule listed on the duty roster.
‘Only the closing news and then I can leave.’
With the thought of wrapping up the manuscript I was writing, I intended to return to my seat.
I locked eyes with fellow announcers seated near the break area beside the duty roster.
They kept switching their gaze between their phone screens and me.
Until I returned to my desk, their sneaky glances and hushed murmurs made a chill run down my spine.
‘Something seems off.’
I had never been the favorite of the fellow announcers.
But their gaze had distinctly changed since before lunch, and I sensed something strange.
Just as I was about to sit, the door to the programming department opened, and Senior Young Jun along with the department head returned.
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.
