Young-In barely managed to lift her heavy eyelids, feeling like there were stones on them.

Her head was foggy, and her body felt languid. As her blurred vision cleared, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

‘Where am I?’

Her questioning gaze slowly scanned the room, and then she found the answer.

‘Why am I here…’

After desperately piecing together fragments of her memory, the events of yesterday began to resurface intermittently.

The memory of leaving the room supported by Ha-Yoon and then the face of Cha Sung-Hyuk sitting in the driver’s seat fleetingly appeared, followed by a familiar voice piercing her ears.

“Are you awake?”

It was a voice indicating this place was not a strange space but one she had visited after a long time.

Young-In’s memory went back three years.

Cha Sung-Hyuk, who used to push her through the night until she had no energy left to move a finger, but himself always seemed energetic and unfazed.

“You hardly exercise, so I’m helping you with that.”

His shamelessly bold words echoed in her ears.

Caught up in these old memories, Young-In suddenly faced reality and sat up abruptly.

No way!

Her eyes widened in panic and quickly looked down.

The moment she confirmed she wasn’t naked, the tension in her shoulders relaxed.

“What are you doing?”

Relieved that she had avoided the worst-case scenario, Young-In instinctively backed away as Sung-Hyuk approached the bed.

Her back hit the headboard just as he sat down at the edge of the bed. A refreshing forest scent, so characteristic of Cha Sung-Hyuk, wafted into her nose.

“Why? Afraid I might have done something to you while you were unconscious?”

“…….”

The thought that he might have done something lingered in her throat, but Young-In couldn’t bring herself to voice it. It was a problem if her thoughts were so transparent.

A frown formed on Sung-Hyuk’s forehead.

“What do you take me for.”

“…….”

Young-In, who knew better than anyone that Cha Sung-Hyuk wasn’t that low, cast her eyes down, almost in self-reproach.

“I’m not trash enough to touch a drunk woman. Unless you wanted it.”

His added words provoked Young-In, who glared back in protest.

“I wouldn’t want that.”

“People can’t predict these things. Don’t be so sure.”

Was another argument brewing?

Just the thought was exhausting for Young-In. She sighed heavily and looked down, only then realizing Sung-Hyuk wasn’t wearing a shirt. Her gaze, which had lingered on his solid chest, hastily dropped.

“….How about putting on some clothes?”

It had been embarrassingly familiar, but now that she noticed, she couldn’t find anywhere else to look.

“I just came out of the shower. Thought you might be awake, so I came to check.”

Explaining it wasn’t intentional, Sung-Hyuk was about to stand up when he noticed Young-In’s eyes fixed on the water bottle in his hand. He cracked a slight smile, opened the cap, and handed it to her.

“Drink.”

Young-In didn’t refuse. In fact, she couldn’t.

Her lips were parched, and her throat felt like it was burning with thirst. Could she really refuse water offered by her sworn enemy?

Soon, the bedroom was filled with the sound of her gulping down water.

By the time her head returned to its original position, about two-thirds of the water was gone.

Sung-Hyuk averted his gaze from her pale, long neck, quickly cooling the improper warmth in his eyes.

Taking the water bottle from Young-In, he finished the remaining water.

For him, finishing off Young-In’s leftovers was all too familiar. Not out of casualness, nor because he hated waste.
If someone else had offered him leftovers, Cha Sung-Hyuk would have considered it an insult. Yet, strangely, he found himself willingly reaching for anything left by Chae Young-In. In this world, the only saliva that wasn’t dirty, apart from his own, belonged to Young-In.

Thanks to Sung-Hyuk changing the subject at the right moment, Young-In forgot what conversation they had been having, even forgetting that he was still shirtless.

Once her throat felt better and she felt more alive, various questions surfaced all at once.

“Senior, why am I here? I was sure I was with Ha-Yoon…”

“I told An Ha-Yoon that I’d take you. You agreed to it.”

Sung-Hyuk immediately corrected himself.

“To be precise, it wasn’t just agreement, you chose me.”

Young-In’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Me?”

“When An Ha-Yoon asked whom you’d go with, didn’t you clearly say my name yourself?”

“…….”

Young-In furrowed her brows, trying to remember, but nothing specific came to mind.

“If you don’t believe it, ask An Ha-Yoon yourself.”

She didn’t want to ask; she didn’t think it was a lie.

It was just disconcerting to realize that she had unconsciously chosen Cha Sung-Hyuk. It made her self-deception, trying to convince herself that her feelings for him were just remnants of a relationship she had to brutally end, seem ridiculous.

Facing the feelings she had desperately tried to ignore was not a pleasant experience. It felt like she had exposed her true self not just to him but also to herself.

“By the way, where did you see me?”

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.
