At his unresponsive and blunt reply, Yoo In suddenly realized that he might be uncomfortable with this moment when their faces met.
Without realizing it, she quietly looked down at the vast street that had unfolded. Although she could approach him physically with a few steps, his white sneakers seemed to be telling her not to.
The bewildered expression on her tense face stiffened for a moment, then showed a sign of resignation.
“Fine. I shouldn’t have meddled unnecessarily. Smoke well and go then.”
Yoo In deliberately smiled more lightly.
Her comforting words, perhaps solace for his refusal and disappointment, or comfort showing various grievances, regardless of the purpose, started to distance herself from Ji Han at a rapid pace.
I don’t know why it turned out like this. It was incredible how the relationship with Ji Han was falling apart without knowing the reason and with unclear English. Yet, acknowledging that all those arrows were aimed at Giyeon was something she didn’t want to admit.
Even if I’m selfish, there’s nothing I can do about it. The current situation, where meeting Giyeon feels like a mistake, really doesn’t sit well with me.
Oddly enough, my eyes were getting hot, and tears seemed to be about to fall.
At the same time, a man who could both warm and cool down this moment came to mind.
“Sigh…”
It was when I arrived at the main gate, breathing heavily with suppressed sobs and fast steps.
As the hand, which was trying to wipe away the tears stuck at the corner of my eyes, was pulled back, my body turned by the force.
There was Ji Han, who seemed to have run, trying to catch his breath.
“Why are you crying?”
The well-groomed delicate facial features distorted abruptly.
“Nam Yoo In. Why are you crying?”
“Can you let go of this?”
“Tell me why you’re like this first.”
Continuing like this with heightened emotions would only lead to a fight. I didn’t want to argue with Ji Han anymore.
Yoo In quietly tried to pull out her caught arm, but the tightly held hand seemed unwilling to let go. Unexplainable emotions that had been building up under his unilateral persuasion were gradually surfacing.
“Let go, since it has nothing to do with you.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Uh.”
“Sigh.”
Ji Han, who exhaled a sigh like a sigh, forcefully asked with a frustrated chin, as if he were a deeply disappointed person.
The light-colored pupils, like clear milk-tinted coffee, which had been dancing in the sky, were now focused fiercely on Yoo In.
Yoo In also looked at him without avoiding it, giving strength to her gaze that had spread thinly over his slightly blurred eyes.
A woman with a beautiful appearance, her eyes now wide open as if she had just stopped crying. And the scene of Yoon Ji Han, the pride and star of Yeon Young, confronting each other, was a spectacle that no Sungkyunkwan student could simply pass by.
As the location was public, the curious gazes of an unspecified number of onlookers approaching the two and the overt murmurs were gradually engulfing Yoo In’s throat like a snowball.
On a day when I was young, when I walked with scornful eyes, just like today, my breathing passage was blocked, and my vision in front of me became eerily dark.
Eventually, Yoo In’s head, which had just stopped crying, dropped down. The closed eyelids flashed irregularly behind them.
“Yoo In.”
What cut off the intense obsession was a deep, low tone.
Yoo In slowly turned her head. The figure of someone who shouldn’t be here was gradually becoming clear.
A man wearing a neat navy suit stared at Yoo In with an expressionless face.
As their eyes met, the man slowly approached as if waiting.
“What’s going on here? Mr. Yoon Ji Han, why are you holding someone else’s woman in such a public place?”
Guyeon, who calmly completed the sentence, forcefully pushed away Ji Han’s hand that was holding Yoo In.
Seeing the shaking arm that had been pushed away due to the force, Giyeon wore a cold sneer.
“You were close, but it doesn’t seem like that anymore. Making Nam Yoo In awkward like this.”
“…….”
“Let’s hear the reason for doing this annoying thing to my lover. Why did you do this?”
“……Why are you so curious? Friends can fight, too.”
“Oh, friends. Embracing even such rude people as friends. Our Yoo In is truly generous.”
Ji Han’s chest, hardened like a statue, with unrevealed competitiveness, suddenly rose steeply.
Giyeon looked at him as if he were pitiful, scanning him up and down with a cold look, and only smirked with the corners of her mouth.
“Hey, Mr. Yoon Ji Han. If you want to come into my company, learn how to please people first. Study not only careful speech but also how to distinguish between what to do and what not to do.”
“……. ”
“I hope you won’t make your face blush anymore. Do you really not understand what I mean?”
The sharp sarcasm penetrated Ji Han’s ears along with Giyeon’s leisurely voice.
Feeling a déjà vu, Yoo In, who had been observing the two men, pulled her waist forcefully.
The face looking down at Yoo In was infinitely affectionate, as if a completely different personality that only Yoo In knew had entered.
It was a somewhat frighteningly rapid change of posture.
“Do you still have business? Our puppy.”
“No.”
“Let’s go.”
Before the words could finish, Yoo In was pushed out of the school gate without a chance for Ji Han to turn around.
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.”
