He embarrassed her and then took care of her so that she couldn’t even get angry.
Su Hee, who sat across from Seung Jo, picked up a spoon.
Filling her hungry stomach was the priority anyway.
Looking over what to start with, Su Hee tried the green risotto first.
“Hmm.”
As befitting a 5star hotel, the food was also of fivestar quality.
There was so much to eat, they started by tasting a bit of everything. Su Hee could feel Seung Jo’s gaze.
Su Hee, who hadn’t touched her food, asked Seung Jo.
“Why are you looking at me like that.”
“I guess you’re not feeling nauseous.”
“Humph.”
The food she swallowed seemed to hit her throat with a ‘thud’.
Seung Jo handed her a glass of water as she was pounding her chest.
“Why are you eating so fast.”
Who’s fault is it…!
Su Hee, who had taken the water, spoke with her eyes.
Seung Jo leaned back in his chair, fingers clasped together.
“Have you read all the scripts?”
Just as the chest discomfort subsided, Seung Jo broached an unwelcome subject.
She regretted coming into Seung Jo’s room, no matter how urgent it was.
Su Hee, who lost her appetite, poked the sea crayfish at the end of her fork.
“I’ve read them.”
“What piece did you like the most?”
Su Hee shoved a piece of sea crayfish she’d cut with her knife into her mouth.
“Are we talking business over dinner?”
“Do you want to set another meeting date?”
He didn’t give her a chance to escape, as if to confirm he was not a businessman.
“I liked the work of Kim Si Woon.”
“What did you like about it? The characters? Or the story?”
Seung Jo would not let her off the hook with a vague response.
Su Hee, who seemed to have given up, put down her fork and knife.
“The story. It was intriguing, right? It was a work befitting Kim Si Woon.”
Seung Jo raised an eyebrow when she gave a vague response.
“Completely unexpected. This work is totally different from Kim Si Woon’s usual style.”
For a moment, she felt her palms sweat.
Trying hard to hide her confusion, Su Hee grumbled in a bored tone.
“Enough of the boring business talk. I didn’t come here to talk business with the CEO.”
“I apologize if you felt uncomfortable.”
He said sorry with a face that wasn’t sorry at all.
But what does she know. Anyway, the script discussion was done, she thought.
“I’ll send you the cost of the meal as soon as I return to Korea.”
“There’s no need. It’s not like you, Oh Su Hee, ordered all this.”
“No, I just hate owing money.”
She wasn’t close enough with Seung Jo to have a free meal.
Seung Jo did not insist on his point in the face of Su Hee’s clear refusal.
“Do as you wish, Oh Su Hee.”
The prepared food was too good to waste, so she crammed as much as she could into her stomach, but she had to put down her spoon without being able to eat half of it.
Even until the hotel staff cleaned up the leftover food and left, there was no contact from Chul Yong.
Su Hee, looking at the hour hand passing 10 o’clock, spoke to Seung Jo sitting on the opposite sofa.
“It’s late, go to sleep in your room. I’ll wait here and leave when I get a call.”
There was a sliding door installed between the room and the living room.
If only the door was closed, noise and sight could be blocked.
Seung Jo, who got up from the sofa, seemed to be going to the room, but put on the jacket left on the sofa.
“I’ll go out and come back, so take a rest.”
She wanted to ask where he was going at this late hour, but even if she knew, it was none of Su Hee’s business.
“Take care.”
When Seung Jo left the hotel room, the surroundings quieted down.
Her body must have melted, her stomach must be full.
Gradually, her eyelids began to become so heavy that she couldn’t beat them.
“Get it together, Oh Su Hee.”
She slapped her cheek with her palm, unable to collect herself at all.
“Are you going to sleep here?”
What if she fell asleep wondering when Seung Jo would come back.
“If you sleep till morning.”
There would be no such nuisance.
Even if she had to lift her eyelids with her fingers, she must not fall asleep.
But her body was constantly tired and she couldn’t even twitch a finger.
This was definitely because of the soft sofa.
“Let’s sleep for 10 minutes. Just 10 minutes.”
Su Hee, who couldn’t resist her sleepiness, wobbled without a pillar.
Su Hee, who tilted her upper body sideways, leaned her head on the sofa.
Blink, blink.
Her gradually slowing eyelids no longer lifted.
Soon after, Su Hee’s snoring sound piled up over the silence.
In the end, despite her goal to get up after 10 minutes, Su Hee couldn’t wake up even 30 minutes after Seung Jo came back.
((()))((()))((()))
Seung Jo put his cool jacket on the sofa.
Despite the sign of life, Su Hee was deeply asleep and couldn’t wake up.
It was understandable as she had had a tough day today.
Seung Jo placed a black bag he was holding in his hand on the table.
What was in the bag was nothing but an ointment and a band.
It was bought from a pharmacy that was hard to find among the closed shops.
Su Hee, who was curled up and lying on the sofa, could see her heel scraped red.
He had been paying attention to her limping as she walked.
Seung Jo picked up the cell phone on the table and checked the call history.
As expected, Chul Yong did not return the call.
Seung Jo left a message at the number that Su Hee had called.
“[This is Han Seung Jo from Studio Green. I am with Oh Su Hee. Please come to Room 2809 once you check this message.]”
Seung Jo put down his cell phone and looked at Su Hee, who was lying on the couch.
There was a time in the past when he had just watched Su Hee sleep like this.
“Su Hee, wake up. We need to go home.”
Whether then or now, she was so sound asleep that she wouldn’t notice if someone carried her.
He was worried she might catch a cold, but he knew she would certainly refuse if he suggested going to a room to sleep.
He knew that to Su Hee, he was an inconvenience, and so he could do nothing more than cover her with a jacket.
A smile lingered on Seung Jo’s lips as he watched Su Hee for a long time.
When she was younger, Su Hee had followed him well.
He had never seen her look at him with the guarded eyes she had now.
Even though she didn’t remember him, this was good in its own way.
Because it seemed like he could see a new side of Su Hee.
He felt like it wouldn’t matter if she continued not to remember.
Because he could get to know aspects of Su Hee that he hadn’t known before.
“It’s nice to meet you again like this.”
His whispered voice was only tickling the air.
“Su Hee.”
The name that followed sounded endlessly tender.
However, the words Seung Jo let slip couldn’t become his monologue.
Unlike when they first met, Su Hee had insomnia.
Seung Jo didn’t realize that Su Hee, who he thought was in deep sleep, had awoken.
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.”
