At the sound of opening a can, Jin Woo turned his head. Ji Na offered him a cold beer can with a smile.
“You worked hard.”
Jin Woo chuckled as he received the beer can.
“The view is really nice here.”
“You found a good place, didn’t you?”
Jin Woo lightly shook the beer can and extended it towards Ji Na. He chuckled and gently tapped her beer can. As the refreshing beer flowed down her throat, she felt some of her tiredness dissipate.
When she turned her gaze, she noticed Jin Woo, who was drinking beer, and his throat bobbing up and down. Strangely, it looked like slow motion, and Ji Na suddenly turned her head. Perhaps it was because she was already feeling a bit tipsy, but her vision seemed odd.
“We might need to check the front door security system.”
Jin Woo, who had just enjoyed a sip of beer, spoke.
“Yeah.”
“Will you be okay on your own?”
In response to Jin Woo’s indirect question, Ji Na clenched her fist firmly.
“Of course. I can live well, with or without it.”
For some reason, Ji Na’s words made her feel quite confident, and Jin Woo smiled faintly. His laughter seemed to blend gently into the rooftop air.
“Here.”
Jin Woo handed something to Ji Na.
It was a white puppy doll that resembled Jin Woo. It had fluffy black fur and black eyes.
“It’s a moving-in gift.”
“Thank you.”
“If anything happens…”
Jin Woo paused and pressed down on the puppy doll’s belly. Then, his phone made a buzzing sound.
“This is how you call me.”
“Wow!”
It wasn’t an ordinary doll. Ji Na examined the doll from various angles and then tightly hugged it.
“It feels really reassuring. I should give it a name.”
“A name?”
With a slightly surprised expression, Jin Woo asked.
“Ji Nu.”
“Wow…”
Seo Jin Woo let out a low sigh.
“Why? Don’t you like it?”
Although Ji Na’s face showed some embarrassment, Jin Woo shook his head with a trembling smile.
“No, it’s cute.”
“Ji Nu, Ji Nu, Ji Nu.”
“Wow…”
Seo Jin Woo sighed softly.
“Why? Is it not good?”
With a mischievous smile, Ji Na playfully pushed Ji Nu towards him. Jin Woo, who had been avoiding the puppy doll’s fur, finally burst into laughter.
Then, as if he couldn’t stand it any longer, he tightly grabbed Ji Na’s arm. It was as if he was trying to stop her actions. Unexpectedly, Ji Na ended up in his embrace, and she also stopped laughing.
“What’s… why…”
Jin Woo’s eyes, which had become even more intense, were fixed on her. His warm breath settled on Ji Na’s face, and the sound of a heart, whose it was unknown, echoed loudly.
In his determined gaze, which she had seen before, there was a passion.
For a moment, without anyone saying who should do it first, their lips met.
The kiss was hotter than a scorching summer day, and Ji Na’s whole body felt like it was burning.
The scent of summer mingled with Jin Woo’s sweet scent and the earthy aroma of beer.
Filled with a sense of fullness, she couldn’t help but smile.
Happiness she had never felt before seemed to pour out all at once.
“Haah…”
With a soft sound, their lips parted.
Jin Woo continued to look at Ji Na with his wavering eyes.
“It’s so beautiful that I’m worried.”
As Jin Woo gently caressed Ji Na’s cheek with his large hand, she closed her eyes and leaned her face into his hand.
A moment later, Jin Woo sighed and said, “I really can’t leave you alone.”
“Then, do you want to sleep?”
Suddenly, Jin Woo’s expression hardened.
Ji Na quickly reached for Ji Nu, who was in her arms, and shook it.
“No, I had Ji Nu with me.”
Looking at Ji Nu’s fur that was shaking randomly, Jin Woo shook his head as if he had been deceived. Then he lowered his head to Ji Na and spoke in a low voice.
“Don’t say things like that lightly, Nuna.”
Jin Woo’s intense gaze caught Ji Na off guard.
Her heart pounded as if it would burst in his intense gaze.
“Cough.”
At that moment, a voice from a stranger not far away was heard.
Startled, Ji Na turned her head and saw the building owner standing at the stairwell entrance. Ji Na quickly got up and greeted him.
“Oh, hello.”
How deeply absorbed was she with Jin Woo that she didn’t even hear the footsteps coming up the stairs? She blushed with embarrassment.
“Is the move all done?”
The owner asked with a friendly face. Ji Na brightly answered his question.
“Yes, thanks to you, everything went well.”
“Hehe, that’s good. You’re quite resourceful, young lady.”
The owner chuckled and briefly glanced at Jin Woo standing next to her.
“Is this your boyfriend…?”
Before Ji Na could respond, she felt a strong arm wrap around her shoulder.
“Yes, he’s my boyfriend.”
Seo Jin Woo calmly replied.
“I see. Got it. If you ever have any problems, feel free to let me know.”
“Thank you.”
After looking around the rooftop room and turning away, the owner turned to Ji Na and nodded.
“Why are you acting so stiff? You should show respect to the owner.”
“…”
Jin Woo’s eyes, filled with dissatisfaction, met Ji Na’s sharp comment.
“There’s no need for that.”
“I have to.”
I’m different from you. Now, I have to endure it here.
Ji Na’s stubborn words made Jin Woo look at her with an inexplicable expression.
“I’ll have to pay rent from next month without any delay, and if anything happens, I’ll have to be considerate of the owner’s feelings as a tenant.”
Something he wanted to say was budding on his lips, but Jin Woo let out a sigh.
“Sigh… If it gets tough, just let me know.”
“Yeah, I will.”
Ji Na showed a smile as she held up the white puppy Ji Nu.
“After all, I have Ji Nu with me.”
Looking at Ji Na in this way, Jin Woo couldn’t help but smile.
“Can I… hug you one more time?”
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.”
