Being alone with him was definitely not a good idea. Ji Na quickly got up from her seat and grabbed her bag. Suddenly, Do Jin blocked her path, narrowing his eyes.
“You have to finish your work.”
Their eyes met in the air. Ji Na glared fiercely back, as if refusing to be intimidated by his sly and contemptible gaze.
“Please assist me in completing the work, Manager.”
At Ji Na’s words, Do Jin let out a snicker.
“Right, it’s not just today.”
His bitter voice sent chills down Ji Na’s spine.
“Then, take care.”
Do Jin spun around gracefully and walked back to his desk as if nothing had happened, picking up his bag.
“Submit it by tomorrow.”
Do Jin left the office first, his malicious attitude towards Ji Na was pathetically low. Left alone, Ji Na tried to control her ragged breathing and sat back down.
Feelings of humiliation, shame, and anger churned in her head. Regardless of Do Jin’s intentions, she was determined not to give him what he wanted.
‘He’s going to transfer soon, just endure a little longer. Just a little.’
Muttering like a mantra, Ji Na shook her mouse furiously.
“Are you still here?”
At that moment, someone appeared in the office. Ji Na, who had stiffened, thinking Do Jin had returned, was relieved to see Jin Woo.
“Have you not eaten yet?”
Jin Woo held a paper bag that seemed to contain packaged food.
“Is this a company that makes its employees work while starving?”
Jin Woo playfully frowned, causing Ji Na to burst into tears unexpectedly.
“Hey? Sister, why are you crying? What happened?”
Jin Woo approached Ji Na in disbelief. Even as his hand patted her back, her tears wouldn’t stop easily.
Jin Woo’s arrival was a great comfort in a scary and sad situation. Ji Na quickly wiped her tears. She couldn’t trouble him when he was about to leave soon.
“I was just so hungry. It’s so good to see you all of a sudden.”
Ji Na’s whimpering softened Jin Woo’s tense expression.
“I was going to call but thought it might bother you, so I just came…”
Ji Na’s heart still pounded in Jin Woo’s warm and sturdy embrace.
“I missed you all day.”
Jin Woo paused briefly at Ji Na’s sudden confession.
“Me too.”
His soft voice sounded so natural as if it was the most obvious thing, and Ji Na smiled faintly.
“I’m glad you’re here.”
Ji Na, holding onto Jin Woo’s coat, whispered. Jin Woo embraced her tightly, his eyes seemingly deep in thought.
“Let’s eat.”
Jin Woo carefully unpacked the food he had brought in front of Ji Na.
“I feel bad making you eat dinner in such an uncomfortable way.”
“Anywhere is good as long as I’m beside you, Sister.”
His voice was sweet and effortless.
“If I could, I would have liked to stay longer as an intern beside you.”
“Me too. But…”
As long as Do Jin was there, Jin Woo too would be subjected to harassment. She didn’t want him to suffer because of her.
“I prefer you as the executive director.”
Ji Na forced a smile, her eyes wavering.
“I’ve brought everything you like…”
The desk was soon filled with food, meticulously set by Jin Woo. He even perfectly handed her the chopsticks, completing the preparation.
“Thank you. I’ll eat well.”
Ji Na put a piece of sushi in her mouth, and Jin Woo asked with a smile.
“Will you go somewhere with me this weekend?”
“We’re going to meet your parents, aren’t we?”
“After that. Please give me just one overnight.”
Ji Na’s eyes widened at his sudden proposal, and she nodded.
“Okay.”
Anywhere is good, as long as I’m with you.
“Thank you.”
Ji Na’s eyes twinkled at Jin Woo’s warm smile.
“Brother, you’re here?”
“Sun Young.”
In a dimly lit bar not far from the company, the woman greeting Do Jin was Sun Young from the accounting department. Before marrying Yoon Ju, the woman he had fought with in the emergency stairwell waved at him as if nothing had happened.
“Did you wait long?”
“Just a bit.”
Sun Young playfully showed her fingers, and Do Jin smiled affectionately.
“I’ll treat you to something delicious today. Let’s see.”
After the fight where she and Yoon Ju pulled each other’s hair, Do Jin had contacted Sun Young to explain the situation. Sun Young, not wanting to lose Do Jin, continued to meet with him even after his marriage.
“What did you ask me to bring, Brother?”
“Of course, I brought it.”
Sun Young took out a USB drive from her small handbag. Do Jin’s eyes sparkled in the dim light.
“Well done. As expected, there’s no one but our Sun Young for me.”
Do Jin patted Sun Young’s head as if she were a puppy, and Sun Young beamed at him.
“If Brother succeeds, it’s all thanks to Sun Young.”
“Just words?”
Sun Young’s eyes twinkled with anticipation, and Do Jin lightly kissed her.
“I’ll repay you with all my heart and body.”
Her laughter rang out at his words.
“This is why I can’t let go of you, Brother.”
Knowing a woman’s heart so well, Do Jin was more charming than naive boys.
“I’m looking forward to tonight.”
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.”
