Seol Ji Oh downed his drink with a nonchalant expression, and then let out a small laugh as if he was thinking of something.
“What, do you have someone?”
When Seol Ji Oh only smiled and didn’t answer, Go Hyun Ah asked with curious eyes.
Seol Ji Oh raised his eyebrows and said, as if not to be misunderstood.
“Where do I have time to date?”
Yeo Woon felt an unexpected pang in her heart and wet her lips with her tongue. Joo Tae Seon clicked his tongue as if he found it pitiful.
“What’s the use of being a world star. Without a partner! Wait…… should I introduce you to someone?”
Yeo Woon’s eyes widened. Was he talking about introducing another woman to Seol Ji Oh?
Joo Tae Seon pondered for a moment, then looked at Go Hyun Ah sitting next to him.
“Why search far and wide. Our Go actress is also quite a beauty!”
“Ah……”
Seol Ji Oh made a perplexed expression. On the other hand, Go Hyun Ah, her cheeks flushed from the alcohol, wrapped her hands around her face and spoke in a playful tone.
“Oh, teacher, why are you embarrassing me like that.”
“What’s there to be embarrassed about. The two of you look good together! Meeting in one project is also fate! Look, you two even had a scandal a while ago. Aren’t you already dating?”
“Oh my, no, teacher!”
Go Hyun Ah’s voice rose an octave. Seol Ji Oh glanced at Yeo Woon’s reaction and spoke with a gentle smile.
“The scandal was a misunderstanding. Hyun Ah should meet someone better. I have no thoughts of dating.”
“Oh, but still……”
“I’ll pour you a drink.”
Seol Ji Oh cut off Joo Tae Seon’s words and filled his glass. Joo Tae Seon raised his eyebrows and then took the glass.
A 50year acting life. He was quickwitted.
“Haha. Alright. You guys will figure it out. Now, let’s have a drink!”
The drinking party broke up around one in the morning.
Having finished shooting and consuming quite a bit of alcohol, everyone was exhausted like a soaked sponge.
While Seol Ji Oh saw off Joo Tae Seon, Yeo Woon leaned against the sofa, her eyelids heavy with fatigue.
The combined effects of alcohol and exhaustion made it difficult to keep her eyes open.
Across from her, Go Hyun Ah seemed to be in a similar state, slumped against the wall, head resting on it.
Considering she had her eyes shut, she might have fallen asleep.
While Yeo Woon was worrying about Go Hyun Ah, Seol Ji Oh reentered the room.
Seol Ji Oh glanced alternately at Go Hyun Ah and Yeo Woon from the doorway, then sat down next to Yeo Woon with a slight nod.
“Are you okay……?”
When Yeo Woon asked in a drawnout voice, Seol Ji Oh gave a brief chuckle.
“Who’s asking who?”
Then he reached out and cupped Yeo Woon’s cheek.
“Are you okay? You seemed to be drinking quite a bit.”
Seol Ji Oh’s hand on her cheek was large and warm. Yeo Woon felt good and smiled with her lips pursed and eyes closed. Then, Seol Ji Oh furrowed his brows and spoke abruptly.
“Don’t drink anywhere.”
“Why?”
“Well, I’m afraid you might get into trouble somewhere.”
Yeo Woon pouted her lips.
“Let’s go home. I’ll take you.”
“Okay. But what about Hyun Ah?”
Only then did Seol Ji Oh turn to look at Go Hyun Ah. Go Hyun Ah slouched against the wall.
Seol Ji Oh approached Go Hyun Ah and shook her to wake her up.
“Go Hyun Ah, what’s your manager’s number?”
“Um……”
Go Hyun Ah, as if plunged into sleep, couldn’t get up. After shaking her a few times with no response, Seol Ji Oh sat down next to her and took out his cell phone.
“Manager, could you please contact Go Hyun Ah’s manager? Go Hyun Ah is passed out. Oh, it’s not just the two of us, we all……”
Seol Ji Oh, who had been answering Choi Hyun’s call in an annoyed tone, suddenly stopped speaking. This was because Go Hyun Ah, who had been leaning against the wall, suddenly collapsed onto him.
Startled for a moment, Seol Ji Oh soon sighed.
“I’ll send you the location via text. Let’s end the call for now.”
After hanging up, Seol Ji Oh carefully pushed Go Hyun Ah’s body to the side.
“Umm…….”
At that moment, Go Hyun Ah halfopened her eyes, recognized Seol Ji Oh in front of her, and suddenly grinned.
“Brother?! Ji Oh brother!”
Seol Ji Oh’s hand froze for a moment. Simultaneously, Yeo Woon’s eyes, which had been watching the two, widened.
What did she just say……?
Without concern, Go Hyun Ah nestled into Seol Ji Oh’s arm and spoke coquettishly.
“Why are you so cold to me, brother? Hyun Ah is really upset…….”
Yeo Woon’s lips fell open of their own accord.
Upset, what?
Having witnessed the combo of ‘brother’ and a shorttongued sound, Yeo Woon looked at Seol Ji Oh with a stunned expression.
Upon making eye contact, Seol Ji Oh pulled his arm away from Go Hyun Ah as if he had been wronged and then abruptly stood up.
Thanks to this, Go Hyun Ah collapsed onto the sofa.
“Hmph……. So mean.”
Go Hyun Ah, grumbling with her slurred speech, soon buried her face in the sofa and fell quiet.
Seol Ji Oh looked at Yeo Woon, raised his hands, and asserted his innocence.
“I never allowed her to call me like that. Never.”
“…….”
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.”
