After a bout of noise had passed and Ji An had tossed and turned again in an attempt to fall asleep, she eventually sat up.
“Yoon Ha Joon, you win.”
Ha Joon’s words, which would stand unflinching against all the world’s strict rules, were right.
One cannot become one with their bed.
Ji An tilted her head at an angle and looked up into empty space. And as if Ha Joon was there, she unleashed her complaints.
“I’ve lived earnestly too. Not everyone lives like you. I’m better than you, who works without distinguishing between night and day, right?”
Ji An grumbled as she unzipped and rummaged through her suitcase to take out a hiking stick.
She found it absurd that she had even included climbing Halla Mountain in her impulsive travel plans.
She chuckled in resignation and vented her complaints once more.
“Your logic that four hours of sleep is enough is not right. I’ve tried it, and people absolutely cannot live like that.”
She lay flat, stuck her face to the floor, and stretched the hiking stick under the bed towards the phone she had thrown there.
“You’re so grumpy because you lack sleep. People need to sleep well.”
Upon turning on the phone and checking missed calls, Ji An’s eyes drooped.
As expected, Ha Joon’s name was not there.
Well, he’s not the kind of person to make the first call after a fight. He must be waiting for her to appear with a smile.
Fine, you’re great. Even though you could call once.
“What am I expecting!”
Ji An entered the kitchen and tore the packaging of a cup rice meal to put in the microwave.
The yard beyond the floortoceiling window was pitch black as night descended. It was like her lost mind.
The taste of a big company that lingered on the tip of her tongue was not unfamiliar, and the meal she ate alone was as tasteless as ever.
The moment she turned her gaze towards the living room, her spoon dropped with a clatter. It was because of the cushion on the sofa.
“Ah! The cushion.”
Ji An’s pupils, which she had covered with her lips, shook violently.
‘Do you really not understand after seeing this?’
Ha Joon’s words, which he had said while offering the cushion, belatedly surfaced in her mind.
“No. I understand. I get it now. Ah! What should I do!”
If Ha Joon had found out about the incident at the Rivera Hotel.
It couldn’t be otherwise!
If he knew about that day’s incident, he would have to be angry.
Ji An couldn’t close her mouth, which was opened in bewilderment.
Even if she ruffled her hair vigorously, her overwhelmed mind was pitchblack.
A sigh slipped through her lips as she looked down at her phone.
Would saying sorry be enough? It definitely wouldn’t work.
“Just think. Think.”
Ji An, who was wandering around the house while tapping her head, quietly looked down at the phone screen.
Move. If you move, your head will move along too.
Dressed in an ivorycolored fluffy coat, she tucked her long hair into a knit beanie.
7:13 AM.
After verifying the time of sunrise through a web search, Ji An left the house.
The yard in Jeju at night was quiet.
Her hair stood on end in the freezing wind of the winter dawn, and her cheeks cooled down.
As she headed towards the gate, small footprints formed on the dewcovered stepping stones.
As she took the driver’s seat of the red car, she entered the destination into the navigation system.
It was Seongsan Ilchulbong, a sort of volcanic crater named Seongsan for its castlelike appearance.
As she manipulated the gear and turned the steering wheel to the right, the red car pulled away from the grey wall.
Parasitism and symbiosis. Independence, apology, and Yoon Ha Joon.
Ji An’s mind, where thoughts had tangled all at once, was more complicated than ever.
‘It would be nice if my thoughts could lighten a bit.’
Ji An, mixed among the people, walked towards Seongsan Ilchulbong.
The path up Seongsan was maintained with stairs, but it was steep and physically demanding.
Among the crowd gathered to see the sunrise, she quietly closed her eyes.
The cold, biting wind harshly swept past her face.
The moments she had bravely endured alone were always accompanied by loneliness.
She wanted to live differently now. At least not alone.
“Wow.”
When she opened her eyes at the murmuring of the crowd, the sunrise was beginning.
The black sea embracing the dawn was dyed red, and the sun was hanging at the end of the horizon.
The red, blue sea and the red, blue sky. The red sun illuminating them was marvelous.
“It’s round.”
She chuckled at her own amusing comment, extended her arm, and captured her face along with the sky in the camera.
The word that had occupied her mind popped out of her mouth once again.
“Parasitism…”
She wanted to live as naturally as the morning comes when the sun rises.
She had lived strenuously to forget the guilt she had felt while looking at her mother who loved only her sister.
She always did her best because she didn’t want to live being hated by others, at least.
It was for the same reason she had accepted a bit of sacrifice as a matter of course in her life.
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
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.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
