Without considering the time or what Jae Heon might be doing, she impulsively pressed the call button.
“Secretary?”
Ra Jin bit her lip tightly.
As soon as she heard Jae Heon’s voice, she felt something warm spreading in her chest.
“Secretary, what is it?”
She wanted to see him right away.
To an unbearable extent.
“I’m here to answer your proposal.”
“…At this hour?”
“I thought the sooner, the better.”
She could hear Jae Heon taking a shallow breath.
“Have you made up your mind?”
“Yes.”
At her unwavering answer, Jae Heon sighed faintly and responded.
“Alright, go ahead. I think I know even without listening.”
“This will prove your excellent judgement, Director.”
There was a brief silence.
“Did I hear that right? So, Secretary… you’re accepting my proposal?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“I can’t believe it.”
At his muttered words, Ra Jin said,
“Should I come over now?”
“…What did you say?”
“If you can’t believe me, I’ll go to your house right now.”
He let out a short sound of disbelief.

However, Ra Jin had no room to consider her boss’s feelings.
Having been abandoned by her mother, by her family, she was overwhelmed just holding herself together to not crumble down.
She could do anything, if only she could erase this sense of loss.
“Think carefully.”
“….”
“If you come to me now. There will be no turning back.”
Her eyes darkened.
“That’s what I hope for.”
Jae Heon, who had swallowed his breath, spoke.
“It’s too late. I’ll go.”
“No, I’ll come.”
Ra Jin did not want to stay in this house, from which she had sent away sorrow.
“I can take a taxi. I’ll go now.”
((()))((()))((()))
Ra Jin, heading to Jae Heon’s house by taxi, was half out of her mind.
She wanted to forget today. She wanted to erase the memory of a while ago.

She did not want to be alone. She felt like she would crumble and not be able to get up again.
The taxi, which had entered a luxury detached housing complex, dropped Ra Jin in front of a huge gate of a twostory house located in the deepest part, and retraced its way.
Ra Jin, who took a deep breath, immediately rang the bell.
The gate opened as if it had been waiting.
Even though she had only been there once, she entered familiarly.
The lights turned on here and there in the hallway beautifully illuminated the night garden.
Jae Heon was standing under the porch of the house entrance.
When her eyes met his, Ra Jin’s heart started beating fast.
The girl with clenched fists slowly approached Jae Heon.
“He really came.”
“I told you I was coming.”
Jae Heon said with a smirk.

“Right, you did. The secretary does what she says she will, like me.”
With a collected smile, he softly spoke while cupping Ra Jin’s cheek.
“As I told you on the phone. Once you step in here, you can’t go back. Even if you regret it, it will be useless.”
“……”
“I’m considering making a contract with the secretary. If the terms are violated, there will be severe consequences and compensation….”
“There is only one thing I want.”
It was the first time Ra Jin had interrupted herself. However, Jae Heon could not point that out due to the strange force emanating from her.
“Please call me by my name when we are together. That’s all I need.”
How strange. Why does Ra Jin, who always seemed meticulous and sturdy, look so precarious now?
Looking into Ra Jin’s desperate eyes, which seemed ready to collapse at any moment, Jae Heon’s heart twisted.
“I’m considering stamping it.”
At his words, her pupils wavered.
“I’m going to kiss you. Dodge if you don’t want it.”
Jae Heon’s head slowly descended.
Just before the lips met.
He opened his mouth.
“I have a condition too.”
At his hot breath whispering in her ear, a thrilling sensation ran down Ra Jin’s spine.
“Will you also call me by my name?”
Her eyes widened.

“By name….?”
Jae Heon slowly rubbed her lower lip with his thumb.
“Why? Do you hate it?”
“How can I… call you by your name….”
“I’d rather not be called ‘Director’ at a time like this. It feels very inappropriate.”
Ah, he tilted his head a little more.
“It is indeed very inappropriate.”
With that, he stared at her with eyes full of desire.
His gaze was so intense and persistent that Ra Jin couldn’t evade it.
“Call me. My name.”
Seeing the confusion and hesitation in her eyes, Jae Heon felt strangely delighted.
The secretary, who had always been steady, the rigid woman who never showed any emotion, was now wavering in front of him.
It felt quite… cute.
“Ra Jin.”
Jae Heon pulled her closer with his big hand wrapped around her back.
As the large body and the soft one pressed together, the eerie atmosphere became even stronger.
“Are you not going to call me?”
At his mischievous smile, Ra Jin bit the tender flesh inside her lower lip.

Then she opened her mouth with a look of surrender.
“Jae Heon.”
The moment Ra Jin called her own name.
Something hot surged from Jae Heon’s heart to his brain.
Ah, so this is why some poet wrote that poem.
That he was nothing before his name was called.
Only when his name was called did he become a flower.
We all want to be something unforgettable to someone.
“You’re doing well. As expected, my judgement is excellent.”
While holding Ra Jin’s cheek, Jae Heon overlapped his lips with hers.
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.”
