No matter how well she hid it, eventually, it would be apparent she had a child. Just the thought of the kind of articles the reporters would write about her in the future was unpleasant.
And what about after the birth? If another man were to embrace his child as if it were his own, that would be…
“It’s annoying.”
Tae Jo chewed on the end of his cigarette, as if to grind it to dust.
His thoughts were a tangled mess.
If you simply asked whether he liked Se Kyung or not, the answer was obviously the former. But, if you asked whether that affection was love…
“…”
Honestly, he didn’t know right now. He had never seen Se Kyung in that light before.
But one thing was certain.
He thought more highly of Se Kyung than he had expected.
When he found out that Yoon Se Kyung was the woman he had spent the night with, rather than feeling discomfort, he was curious as to why she had slept with him.
When he found out Se Kyung was pregnant with his child, while he was surprised, he had considered marrying her.
Vibrations.
“Who is it?”
His phone, which was in his pocket, vibrated. Tae Jo checked the caller ID on the screen and wore a tired expression.
“Why?”
Miss Se Kyung didn’t call for a reservation.
The one on the phone was Director Shim. Tae Jo crushed the cigarette he was holding and replied bluntly.
“So what.”
You’re the representative. You have to take good care of our Miss Se Kyung. Bring her to the hospital.
I’ve seen her several times, our Miss Se Kyung. Our Miss Se Kyung.
Ah! Also, find out about the child’s father when you come. That bastard, you grab him by the collar and bring him.
“…….”
Somehow, he felt choked just by making a call. Tae Jo loosened his tie.
“I’ll do it when the time comes. I have to check on Miss Se Kyung’s schedule, so let’s end this for now.”
Tae Jo, who unilaterally ended the call, came down from the rooftop.
He entered the office and looked for the management room. Was Se Kyung on schedule today, the seat of the new manager was empty.
“What is Miss Se Kyung’s schedule today?”
“Today? Hmm… there doesn’t seem to be any official schedule.”
“Is that so? Then where is the new manager? I don’t see him around.”
When Tae Jo pointed to the vacant seat, the employee, with a rolling eyeball, clapped his palm as if he remembered something late.
“Ah! Today is Miss Se Kyung’s moving day, he said he was going to help with that.”
“Moving day?”
Was the home remodeling all finished?
“Do you know where Miss Se Kyung moved?”
“Ah, I haven’t heard the exact address yet. I only know it’s somewhere in Hannamdong. He should be there right now, should I contact the new manager?”
“No. That’s fine. I’ll find out later.”
Tae Jo, who extended his hand, left the office.
If it’s Hannamdong, it wouldn’t be far from his house.
He was thinking of visiting her home soon.
“Wow, our Se Kyung is successful. The house is really nice.”
Yuna, who snapped a wooden chopstick in half, looked around the house with admiring eyes.
The remodeling work was finished, and it was the day when the items stored at the moving center were brought in.
Even though the moving center did everything, Yuna and Je Hoon came in the morning to help tidy up, saying it would be difficult alone.
“But the house feels a bit empty, sis. Is it because it’s bigger than where you lived before?”
“That’s part of it. I threw away all the old stuff when I moved out. I bought only what I needed right away, so I have less stuff than before. I’ll have to fill it up little by little while living.”
Se Kyung moved the delivered food one by one onto the floor covered with newspaper. Yuna insisted that Jjajangmyeon should be eaten on moving day, and she ordered it as a set with sweet and sour pork.
“Is this really it for lunch? We can go out for meat.”
“What’s meat. On moving day, eating Jjajangmyeon on the floor is the best. Besides, what would you like for a moving present? Just say what you need. Vacuum cleaner? Washing machine? Shall I buy a dryer?”
Yuna took a mouthful of the savory mixed Jjajangmyeon with chopsticks.
“Buy me an air fryer. I broke the one I used before and threw it away.”
“Hey, ask for something expensive. Something expensive. I’ll soon be getting an appearance fee from filming Couple’s Dream.”
“Oh? Have you finished filming that?”
“Only the first episode. It airs tonight. So, Mr. Je Hoon, make sure to watch it.”
“Sure, I’ll watch it.”
At Je Hoon’s polite response, Yuna rewarded him with a dumpling, saying he was sweet.
“It’s just the beginning. Buy the expensive things later when you become more popular. For now, it’s an air fryer.”
“Hmm. Then I should buy something expensive with similar features.”
Yuna hummed a song and picked up some sweet and sour pork. Se Kyung belatedly picked up her chopsticks and started eating jajangmyeon.
“But how was the filming?”
“It wasn’t that difficult. It’s an observational reality show. They told me to just act as usual, but it was cute how you were always aware of the camera. The PD said that the editing was done and contacted me, and the amount of footage turned out to be neatly done.”
“That’s a relief, then.”
“Right. By the way, did you contact your mother? You moved, didn’t you?”
“I’m going to do it in the evening. It’s cafe operating hours now.”
Se Kyung’s mother was running a cafe in Jeju Island.
The dessert cafe she had opened as a hobby had started to get wordofmouth and gradually expanded, and later, with more money from Se Kyung, she even moved to a larger building with a good view.
“It would be nice if your mother could come to Seoul too. You must feel a little empty today. The house is spacious and it’s the first day.”
“I’ll get used to it soon, I guess.”
“Hey, that’s why you should hurry up and get a lover and get married.”
Hmm, maybe I’ll start parenting before marriage…..
Se Kyung gave an awkward smile.
“Ah, by the way, have you been working at Jin Entertainment for a long time, Mr. Je Hoon?”
“Me? Not that long. I joined around the same time as Se Kyung.”
“I see.”
When Yuna made a strangely disappointed face, Je Hoon tilted his head.
“Why’s that?”
“Well, Se Kyung’s first love worked at that agency….”
“Yuna!”
Se Kyung, surprised, called out to Yuna. But the important words had already slipped out of her mouth.
“Huh? Se Kyung’s first love was someone who worked at our company?”
“That’s right. He was very handsome. They say he was close friends with the actor Moon… uh.”
Se Kyung shut Yuna’s mouth with a dumpling.
“Please stop it. Yuna. I’m embarrassed.”
As Se Kyung’s face turned red as a peach, Yuna nodded her head, chewing the dumpling.
Se Kyung turned her head and looked at Je Hoon.
“A person close to Actor Moon….”
Then it could only be our CEO and Executive Director Kang.
Could there be someone else?
As Je Hoon rolled his head from side to side, he looked at Se Kyung.
“You eat too.”
With a gloomy face, Se Kyung also put a dumpling in her manager’s mouth.

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.”
