She had raised Se Kyung without a father, which was a source of guilt, but divorcing that man had been the best decision of her life.
“Anyway, to sum up what you said, you’re not sure about marriage, but you’re currently dating the baby’s father, right?”
“Yes.”
“Anyway, to summarize what you said, you’re not sure about marriage, but you’re currently dating the baby’s father, right?”
“Yes.”
“He’s not bad, is he? You don’t trust him enough to introduce him to your mom?”
“No, he’s a good person. He’s kind, handsome, and he takes good care of me. Since I didn’t want to get married, he suggested we start dating.”
As she spoke, her face turned red with a shy smile.
Despite her reservations, she couldn’t help but wonder more about the identity of the baby’s father, especially seeing how much her daughter liked him.
“Well, whatever it is, I hope you handle things well from now on. But remember, raising a child is not an ordinary task.”
“I know, Mom.”
She felt like she had relieved a big burden by confessing her pregnancy to her mother. Se Kyung smiled with newfound ease.
“What do you know? You haven’t even raised one yet.”
Now, there was a long road ahead.
With a mocking snort, Jung Ran signaled that she would take things slow from now on.
At least the situation was somewhat better than before. They weren’t completely broke, and their family didn’t turn their backs on them.
“Oh, by the way, I haven’t heard the baby’s nickname yet. What’s the baby’s nickname?”
“Angkko.”
“Angkko? What does that mean?”
“Like a cute little kitten.”
“A kitten? Did you come up with the nickname?”
“No, he did. He said I’m a mischievous cat, and the baby is a cute little kitten…”
Was their daughter really compared to a cat?
Jung Ran scrutinized Se Kyung’s face. At that moment, a loud doorbell rang, announcing the arrival of a visitor.
“Huh? Who is it? No one should be coming at this hour.”
With a puzzled expression, Se Kyung headed towards the intercom. She looked at the face displayed on the screen and widened her eyes in surprise.
No, why is this person here?
“Se Kyung, who’s here?”
“Oh? Uh, that’s…”
Se Kyung stuttered in confusion. She looked at Jung Ran without knowing what to say.
The person who had come to her house was none other than the person her mother had wanted to see so much…
“The CEO has come.”
…Jin Tae Jo.
“This is unexpected. What brings you here?”
Jung Ran, holding hands with Se Kyung, greeted Tae Jo with a bright smile.
It was an unexpected visit. Although they had talked about wanting to see each other, he had been too busy to meet in person.
“I heard from Se Kyung that you came up from Jeju Island. We’ve spoken before, but we haven’t met in person, so I came to say hello.”
After exchanging greetings, Tae Jo handed a fruit basket to Jung Ran.
“I know you must be busy, but you came all this way to visit. Thank you. Oh, have you had a meal?”
“No, not yet.”
“Well, come inside and eat with us. I brought some meat from Jeju Island.”
Jung Ran, holding the fruit basket, led the way into the kitchen.
As Tae Jo naturally tried to follow her, Se Kyung gently tugged at the hem of his clothes.
“What’s wrong? You came without notifying me.”
“If I had notified you, you would have told me not to come.”
That was true. But still, it would have been nice if he had given her a heads-up before coming.
Se Kyung pursed her lips thoughtfully.
“Did you talk to Mom?”
“Yes. But you don’t know that the baby’s father is the CEO.”
“…”
Tae Jo’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Sensing his unease, Se Kyung gently shook the end of his sleeve that she was holding.
“So, you shouldn’t tell Mom yet. Got it?”
Se Kyung urged him repeatedly, looking at him with pleading eyes. Tae Jo let out a sigh of anguish and nodded his head.
“I understand. By the way, how did Mom react?”
“It wasn’t as bad as I thought. So, I’m a bit puzzled…”
“CEO, what are you doing? Please come quickly.”
Jung Ran, standing in front of the entrance, called out to Tae Jo as if urging him. Se Kyung quickly withdrew her hand, fearing that her mother would find out.
“Anyway, I’m not sure if the food will suit your taste. There’s also grilled pork neck, should I grill it a bit?”
“No, it’s not necessary. There’s already plenty here. What you’ve prepared is more than enough.”
Once Tae Jo sat down at the dining table, Jung Ran placed a plate of galbi jjim in front of him. She sat across from him and observed his reaction.
“How is it? Does it taste good?”
“Yes, it’s delicious.”
“That’s a relief. Oh, would you like a glass of beer, CEO?”
“Mom, the CEO probably brought his own car…”
Se Kyung shook her head, signaling for her not to say that.
Tae Jo, eyeing the beer can in front of him, said, “You had it by yourself, didn’t you? Let’s have a drink together. You can leave your car here; my house isn’t far from here.”
“Is that okay? I hope I’m not causing any trouble.”
“It’s a short walk, so it’s fine.”
“Then, just one glass. Not too much.”
As Jung Ran got up from her seat, Se Kyung gently pressed her fist into Tae Jo’s thigh.
She stared at him with eyes that seemed to say, “Please don’t let my mother hear anything.”
“…”
Really, why has he been like this since earlier? Cute.
Tae Jo firmly grasped Se Kyung’s hand that was resting on his thigh.
“CEO, here you go.”
Meanwhile, Jung Ran brought cups and poured beer for both of them. Tae Jo also filled Jung Ran’s glass with beer.
“Since Se Kyung moved to our company, things seem to be going well. Her colleagues and seniors all speak highly of her. I was worried, but I’m grateful, CEO.”
“It’s not a problem. Se Kyung is doing well because of her own abilities.”
Tae Jo, holding a glass, subtly turned his body. Jung Ran, who was serving the beer, observed Tae Jo closely.
With each pour, the collarbones beneath the neckline of his shirt moved sensuously. His fair, smooth skin, and well-defined features.
When she had heard that her daughter’s boyfriend was more handsome than most celebrities, she had thought it was an exaggeration, but it turned out to be true.
Seeing them sitting side by side like that, both looking so pretty and handsome, she couldn’t help but think that they were a perfect match.
“No, what am I thinking…”
If her daughter’s boyfriend hears this, he might feel uncomfortable.
Feeling guilty, Jung Ran pursed her lips and shook her head while she was deep in thought.
At that moment, for some unknown reason, she felt a strange and mysterious feeling wash over her. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.
As Se Kyung fiddled with her beer can, Tae Jo smoothly took it from her and poured the remaining beer into his glass.
“Hmm?”
Come to think of it, CEO Jin hadn’t offered Se Kyung a separate glass of alcohol. It was as if he knew she couldn’t drink right now.
“Oh, I heard you’re going to Jeju Island tomorrow.”
“Yes. I’d like to stay longer, but I can’t leave the store empty for too long.”
Jung Ran answered with a smile, trying to ignore the strange thoughts that kept creeping into her mind.
“Se Kyung also has a schedule tomorrow. How do you plan to get to the airport?”
“You can take a taxi like when you came here. If the timing works, you can also take the airport bus.”
“In the future, please contact us in advance before coming to Seoul. If Se Kyung can’t leave her schedule, we will send someone to pick you up.”
“No, that’s not necessary. Everyone must be busy, so there’s no need to go to such trouble…”
Jung Ran waved her hand, finding it burdensome. However, Tae Jo wasn’t one to easily relent.
“Tomorrow, we’ll arrange for someone to take you to the airport. We’ll send someone who is available, so please don’t refuse.”
Are all CEOs like this nowadays?
Se Kyung had only been with her current agency to compare with. She had no way of knowing if this was normal or if her previous agency was just exceptionally bad.
It felt a bit awkward to keep declining such offers of kindness.
“Well, then, I’ll accept this time.”
Jung Ran accepted the favor with a gracious smile.

One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
