Jin Gyo, who had been wandering somewhere on the table, looked back at Yeongin.
“But if I say I’ll wait, won’t I seem overly persistent?”
“You might seem stubborn.”
“Today you’re unusually firm.”
Yeongin chuckled as she looked at him grumbling.
Only now did her heart feel at ease. It seemed he was also comfortable now.
“There’s nothing wrong with giving room. Why does it sound like self-reflection?”
“Why does it sound like self-reflection?”
Yeongin’s face displayed a self-deprecating smile.
“Senior, you seem unusually perceptive today.”
Heavier than to anyone else. If she had shown a clearer attitude to Seonghyeok, perhaps the current situation wouldn’t have arisen.
As Yeongin was repenting and reflecting, the room’s doorbell rang.
“Who could it be?”
Jin Gyo, grinning, stood up and went to the door.
A moment later, a resolute voice was heard from the direction of the door.
“What’s going on?”
A dry response followed.
“Seonghyeok came to take Yeongin.”
Upon hearing Seonghyeok’s voice, Yeongin’s eyes widened in surprise.
As if on display, he went to Baek Heeran’s room, and in just a few minutes, it seemed like something unusual was happening.
“That’s rude.”
Before Jin Gyo’s words could finish, Seonghyeok’s face abruptly appeared in her sight.
“Come out.”
“What’s happening suddenly?”
“I don’t like the idea of you being alone in a hotel room with another man. So, let’s go.”
“…”
Reading the determination in Seonghyeok’s eyes to take her with him, Yeongin realized that resisting would be futile and reluctantly stood up. She didn’t want to engage in a confrontation with Jin Gyo in front of him.
However, before she could walk out on her own, her wrist was grabbed. By the time they were outside the room, it had changed into a firm grasp.
Seonghyeok stood in the middle of the hallway, turning to look at Yeongin.
“Where’s your room?”
“…”
Yeongin pressed her lips together as if protesting.
“Are you going to stand like this forever?”
Since he had no intention of letting go of her hand, it was a threat that she could do as she pleased if she wanted to be seen by others. The threat worked well on Yeongin.
“…It’s the room at the end of the corridor.”
Seonghyeok walked to the end of the corridor and stood Yeongin in front of the door.
“Open the door.”
Yeongin sighed deeply, rummaged through her pocket, and unlocked the door with the card key. As if waiting, a hand stretched out between her side, pushing the door open. She followed him into the room.
The two stood facing each other near the bed.
“Don’t be alone with Seojin Gyo in a closed space.”
Yeongin wrinkled her nose and retorted, “Why treat me like a potential criminal?”
“It’s because you’re not a potential criminal. I’m just a man who sees you as a woman.”
“…”
Yeongin wanted to question why someone who had been in a confined space with Baek Heeran felt entitled to speak to her this way, but she couldn’t. She knew it was also about giving him an opportunity.
“When a man and a woman are alone in a space, do you know what thoughts the man might have?”
“Not every man in the world would think the same way.”
“Not every man in the world, I agree. But I always do.”
“…”
The moment Yeongin sensed the heat in Seonghyeok’s eyes, she lay on the bed in the blink of an eye. Her hands were tied, leaving her completely helpless.
Under the intense gaze from above, her entire body tingled with discomfort. There was a sense of threat and pressure as if she could be devoured at any moment.
“In truth, it’s not only when we’re alone in a space that I have impure thoughts.”
Seonghyeok’s voice became more provocative.
“During meetings, chance encounters in the hallway or the dining area, riding the elevator together—I constantly imagine undressing you. Like a madman.”
“…”
Yeongin shivered at the seductive voice whispering in her ear, and she nervously bit her lower lip.
“It feels like a dog in heat.”
“…”
He slowly approached her.
Although her mind said to avoid, her body remained motionless. She didn’t know if she didn’t want to refuse.
Just before their lips met, Yeongin managed to turn her head.
“I want to do whatever I please…”
Seonghyeok murmured with a sigh, then rose to his feet. Yeongin quickly got up, straightened her disheveled hair and clothes.
An awkward atmosphere enveloped the two.
“I’ll go.”
Yeongin kept her gaze on the floor, her lips merely twitching.
“You got a room…?”
“No, we’re heading to the airport.”
Yeongin raised a perplexed expression.
“You’re going to Seoul today?”
“Yeah, I have an important dinner appointment with an investor.”
“You came all the way to Jeju for an important appointment?”
“Seeing you was more important.”
“…”
“Don’t avoid my calls. If you keep avoiding, I’ll come back on the first flight tomorrow.”
“…Fine, let’s go quickly.”
“I’m leaving.”
Seonghyeok lightly stroked Yeongin’s blushing cheek and turned away.
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.”
