Song Kang wore a thoroughly expressionless face, and Geum Moran quickly hung up the phone, changing her complexion brightly. The change in her facial expression sent shivers down Song Kang’s spine.
“Oh, Song Kang. You went through a lot. You don’t know how fortunate you are.”
She got on the elevator with a somewhat lowered posture. Then, she looked at Song Kang. It was an affectionate expression, as if she could be a mother.
“Your face is quite bruised…”
When Geum Moran reached out towards Song Kang’s face, he turned his head abruptly, refusing the touch. Goosebumps covered his entire body, and his dislike was evident in his facial expression.
“This floor is where the law office is. What brings you here?”
Song Kang asked, knowing everything already. In fact, he didn’t want to engage in conversation, but it was a question thrown out of annoyance towards Geum Mor
Line turned his face upwards and turned his chair towards him.
“I thought even gold could go on the monitor.”
It was a statement made after seeing Line’s gaze a little while ago. Song Kang had some idea that her heart might be in difficulty.
If it could be forgotten, it would be a memory one would want to forget, but he thought that retracing and pondering each one would generally not be a pleasant task.
“Do I remember a promise I made?”
A promise…? Have I ever made one…?
“What… promise? Are you talking about seeing? Or answering? Or…”
Song Kang sat down at her desk with a very disappointed expression.
“Hawaii.”
“Oh~ I… again…”
“I again? It seems like you’re not taking it very seriously. About that promise?”
“What kind of Hawaii is it?”
Line spoke as if there would never be a casual overseas trip in her life.
“And I’ve never been abroad alone. It’s just going to be a hassle. If there’s time, I’d rather get some sleep.”
Looking at Line, who had no interest in Hawaii at all, Song Kang thought for a moment.
“If that’s a concern, I’ll go with you.”
At that, Line smirked and laughed. It was an absurd statement.
“Director.”
Line picked up a file from among the piled-up files. It was so hefty that it couldn’t be lifted with one hand.
“This is your one-week schedule, Director. It seems to be about average. Can we leave Seoul, not our country?”
“Don’t you know the Jin Line examination well? It’s a matter of willpower, whatever it is.”
His words seemed sincere. Line blinked in confusion. With such determination for her first overseas trip in her life, what should she do…
“Even if it’s not Hawaii, anywhere that you can leave your daily life behind is possible.”
“No. It’s not because it’s Hawaii.”
Line couldn’t continue her words. Traveling with Director Na Song Kang… It wasn’t an easy decision to make.
Met through work? Romantic relationship? Traveling so far in a confusing situation from the relationship with him…
It was a challenging situation for Line’s way of thinking.
“Even if the Jin Line examination is not a trip that goes so far, haven’t you ever traveled with someone?”
He wanted to ask if she had never traveled alone with a significant other, but he asked it in a roundabout way while preserving his dignity.
“Other than mandatory school trips, I haven’t traveled.”
“Really?
“If I have to say it even while lying…”
Line understood his intention behind the question, and with a strange look in his eyes, he glared at him. However, he didn’t avoid his gaze.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Even to his question, Line continued to glare at him.
“Jin Line investigator, sometimes I wonder what your true self is like, so immersed in alcohol.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Even when it seems like sitting on top of the world doing bad things in the middle of worldly affairs, seeing you ignorant about love, and defensively seeking it like someone who has never experienced it, I still can’t understand.”
At Song Kang’s words, Line made a embarrassed expression. Song Kang read her expression that couldn’t lie.
“Could it be, a ‘confirmed solo’?”
Line quickly turned her chair, fearing that she might reveal her thoughts to him, and he grabbed the handle of the chair. As a result, the distance between his upper body and her was noticeably shortened.
As they got closer, her ears turned red, and Song Kang couldn’t help but smile at such a sight.
Confirmed solo, he suspected it, but it was really true… If that was the reason, he could understand why Line acted so defensively or aggressively in the recent incident at her house.
Facing her well-founded barrier, Song Kang wanted to break down that wall more aggressively. Rational doubts that it might not be a wall but rather a lack of knowledge gradually became stronger.
“You’ll get good at it quickly. Because you’re smart.”
It was a subtly provocative statement. Line, too tense, couldn’t even swallow her saliva. However, the nervousness and tension didn’t feel very unpleasant.
“Senior, have you heard the news?”
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.”
