“When I first hugged you on the rooftop, I thought the sun was pouring down unbelievably.”
“Really?”
“But when I met you again, it wasn’t.”
“How was it then?”
“Some days it became a flock of stars, sometimes it turned into petals floating on the water, and when I hold you every night like nowadays…”
Do-jun took a shallow breath.
He wiped the moistness under Hae-joo’s eyes and recited.
“It’s just warm. To the point where the time I waited for you becomes nothing.”
“I wish I had waited for Do-jun.”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Don’t burden yourself. I can handle that alone.”
“Where did you say that…”
“Just stay by my side like now.”
Do-jun pulled Hae-joo’s phone from the table.
As if that wasn’t enough, he pushed away the laptop he had used last night.
“No internet over the weekend.”
“…”
“Let’s watch the movie we’ve postponed instead of TV. Today, let’s have our date at home.”
Hae-joo chuckled softly.
Do-jun bit her lips gently.
“Today, let’s watch a movie you like, Do-jun.”
The two of them gathered snacks and headed to the living room.
After choosing a movie, they settled on the couch.
Naturally, Hae-joo leaned towards Do-jun.
Soon, a melody that suited the calm movie background surrounded the two.
A while later, while watching the movie, Hae-joo fell asleep.
When Do-jun gently lifted her heavily sleeping head, his phone rang.
Carefully stretching out his arm, he checked the caller.
“Yes, Manager Song.”
I confirmed where Choi In-ho is.
Choi In-ho had disappeared, refusing police investigation. The office he used to live in had been empty for a long time, and the police were tracking him down.
It was difficult to find him, but they finally succeeded.
“Send me the location.”
I will go to get him.
“Then, I’ll be late. Let’s meet there.”
Okay.
Do-jun carefully laid Hae-joo down.
After covering her with a blanket, he whispered softly in her ear.
“I’ll briefly visit the company.”
“… Will you be late?”
To her drowsy inquiry, Do-jun evaded it skillfully.
“It’ll be over soon.”
He left with the same clothes he was wearing.
Before starting the engine, Director Song frowned at the address he had received.
“He seems to be wandering around without direction.”
The place Director Song sent him to where Choi In-ho was happened to be a PC bang on the outskirts of Seoul. Moreover, it wasn’t far from Do-jun’s home.
Without hesitation, Do-jun quickly headed there.
Entering the bustling downtown area, he found the old shopping mall building where the PC bang was located.
The PC bang was on the third floor.
Even during the day, as he climbed the dim stairs, a customer in a hunched posture happened to come out.
At the same time, inside the PC bang, a part-time worker was cleaning the floor. Busy sweeping, he stopped abruptly at the spot where a customer had been sitting for four days.
“I’ll clean up the trash for you.”
“Just a coffee for me.”
The male customer didn’t even play games.
If he felt sleepy, he dozed off in his seat, spending the whole day browsing internet articles and various communities.
Sometimes, he typed something in Korean on the screen and had a serious conversation with someone on the phone.
If you approached without washing, the smell of unwashed clothes lingered.
Suddenly, it became a headache as there were no other customers around the seat.
“Excuse me, sir, please go home.”
The PC bang owner scolded the part-time worker to kick the customer out.
Even without the smell, it was troublesome for a PC bang to have someone sitting there all day.
“I’ll go later, so leave me alone.”
“Really?”
The man glared at the part-time worker uncomfortably.
Eventually, realizing it wouldn’t work, he made a grumbling sound and got up from his seat.
“How much is it here?”
“Just a moment!”
The part-time worker, abandoning the broom, rushed to the desk.
The accumulated usage fee for the man in the PC bang had become quite substantial.
The man, in cash filling his wallet rather than a card, paid the bill.
“You can handle the change.”
“Thank you!”
“By the way, who’s your favorite celebrity?”
“Lee Hae-joo.”
“Why do you like her?”
“She acts well, she’s kind, and there’s no need to say she’s beautiful.”
“Is Lee Hae-joo kind?”
“I was tormented because of that bastard. If it were me, I would have torn that bastard to pieces.”
These days, such individuals were the problem.
Saying such things directly to the person responsible for the torment without any sense of caution.
“Hey, give me the change!”
“…Tch.”
“What’s ‘tch’?”
The person who snatched the change from the part-time worker was Choi In-ho.
Finally, with a face that hadn’t been washed, he came outside.
At that moment, someone with an unusual fragrance blocked his way.
He was a head taller than Choi In-ho, who lifted his face, wondering.
“P- President Park Do-jun?”
“Hush!”
Choi In-ho took a step back, trying to escape.
But the body that hadn’t moved for days didn’t respond to his attempts.
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.”
