Baeksara, who made up her mind, quickly took out the phone that she had left in the corner.
This time, I was determined to endure some danger, to give Min Seolwon, who didn’t know how scary the world is, a little warning.
On a summer afternoon when not a single breeze blew.
As usual, the door of the Leaf Kindergarten opened, and children came running out.
Jae-yoon, who had become quite familiar with this scenery, exchanged greetings with the kindergarten teacher and diligently began to take care of the children.
Originally, she didn’t want to pay much attention to this because she was planning to leave with Seolwon and Woojoo when they returned to the island.
But her naturally affectionate personality remained the same wherever she went, and Jae-yoon had already become attached to the children at the Leaf Kindergarten.
“I guess Seolwon and Woojoo won’t come back.”
Every time she saw Woojoo wearing cute yellow uniforms, she couldn’t help but think so, and it was a sad realization.
When Seolwon informed Chaeha that he would spend his birthday with her, the premonition gradually turned into certainty.
Not only Seolwon but even Woojoo seemed to become an unattainable presence, making it lonely.
While on the island, they used to see each other every day, but now it was only possible to catch a glimpse until Chaeha’s car returned.
Lately, instead of sending a driver, Seolwon often came himself.
Even if Woojoo were really Chaeha’s child, during the time spent on the island, Jaeyoon treated Woojoo like her own and took care of him like a close friend.
Every time she saw Woojoo, who called her “Jaeyoon Dad,” she wished that he could really become her child.
She was confident in her affection for the child.
So, Jaeyoon didn’t want to miss the fleeting moment of seeing Woojoo.
Today, she wondered if the Rabbit Class would end a little late since Woojoo’s figure hadn’t appeared yet.
Since the Rabbit Class teacher always greeted Jaeyoon when coming out, she would know as soon as she appeared.
So, Jaeyoon started escorting the children who came out first and putting them in the car.
Chaeha’s black sedan, which was always noticeable, had not appeared yet.
“Okay. Yuso, be careful getting on.”
“Yes!”
“Hayul, slowly…”
“Jaeyoon Dad!”
When she had half-loaded the children, a clear voice like a jade bead came from behind.
The long-awaited voice of the world, the only special child in the world, Woojoo.
Now he would run towards me with small steps.
Thinking about it, Jaeyoon’s mouth involuntarily formed a smile.
“Woojoo…”
It was the moment when she was about to turn around affectionately to call his name.
The sharp scream of the Rabbit Class teacher cut through the air.
“Woojoo!”
It happened in an instant.
Bang!
Just as the loud sound of air escaping from the tire was heard, a swaying truck covered Woojoo.
“…”
Everything, including breath and even the flow of air, seemed to stop.
All that could be felt was the stifling roar and Woojoo’s crying.
“Ugh.”
Feeling the pain through her limbs, Jaeyoon realized that she had hugged Woojoo and rolled to the ground.
“Woojoo! Are you okay? Jaeyoon, are you okay?”
“Woojoo… Woojoo.”
With the loud wailing announcing the child’s safety, Jaeyoon breathed a sigh of relief.
“…Thank goodness.”
She was sincerely relieved.
It was fortunate that she was doing this job at the Leaf Kindergarten, knowing that her eyes and ears were greedy, chasing after Woojoo.
“Jaeyoon, there’s blood on your knee!”
As the Rabbit Class teacher stared with wide eyes in bewilderment, Jaeyoon slowly lifted Woojoo while still hugging him.
“I’m fine. Fortunately, we weren’t hit by the car. The car…”
Jaeyoon shifted her gaze to the path she had just avoided.
But there was no trace of the roaring truck that had been rushing just now.
Blankly staring at the empty alley, the Rabbit Class teacher rolled her foot to inform him of the situation.
“Well, the truck just drove away! We should report it, seems like drunk driving…!”
“…Even if we report it, there’s not much we can do.”
“What?”
Instead of answering, Jaeyoon shook off the dirt and blood from her arms and legs.
At a glance, when she threw herself, the truck didn’t have a license plate.
Moreover, the fact that it almost hit a child and just left suggested a deliberate act.
Then, the Rabbit Class teacher’s angry gaze shifted somewhere.
Following that gaze, Jaeyoon also slowly turned her eyes.
There, Chaeha stood at a distance with a helpless expression, unable to hide her embarrassment.
Although she was a bit late, her face already revealed that she had heard everything about the two.
“A truck… What is this?”
“Dad!”
Looking down at Woojoo, who was crying in Jaeyoon’s arms, Chaeha’s eyes shook like crazy.
A look of bewilderment, combined with shock and fierce anger.
However, Jaeyoon felt the same emotions.
Perhaps the current accident was directly related to this man in front of her.
“Woojoo. Dad… Come to Daddy.”
“No.”
As if to block Chaeha’s reaching arm, Jaeyoon hugged Woojoo even tighter.
Then, she murmured to him as if growling.
“Kwon Chaeha. You don’t have the right to be called Dad.”
“…Choi Jaeyoon. Send Woojoo here.”
A warning-like stern voice flew towards them, but Jaeyoon had no intention of showing courtesy to him anymore.
“I hoped against hope, but I’ve clearly realized that nothing has changed from the past.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Exactly that. You can’t be the protector of Seolwon and Woojoo. You can’t be a vice president of the Chaeun Group and watch over your child and wife 24 hours a day.”
“So what?”
“When the promised date comes, I’ll take Seolwon and Woojoo back to the island.”
“Don’t cross the line, Choi Jaeyoon.”
Unable to intervene in the two people’s unusual atmosphere, the Rabbit Class teacher hesitated without interference.
With Woojoo hidden behind Jaeyoon, she approached Chaeha with a step.
The gazes of the two confronting each other were like flames crackling rapidly.
It was truly a situation that could explode at any moment.
The suppressed anger that Jaeyoon had been enduring finally burst out all at once.
“Do you… Do you know what Seolwon went through? How difficult it was! How painful it was! Chaeha, you are not qualified to be Min Seolwon’s husband!”
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.”
