With long strides, Sunwoo quickly reached in front of Seungcheol, lowering his head to meet Seungcheol’s gaze side by side.
Why, do I seem incapable? Pushing up his glasses with his index finger and smiling, when Sunwoo’s eyes met his, Seungcheol felt a chill down his spine.
“And.”
In the moment when their cold eyes met, Sunwoo’s palm, suddenly raised, crumpled the cigarette he was holding and shoved it into Seungcheol’s mouth.
Seungcheol, who was about to retort, swallowed the burst cigarette in surprise.
“This is a no-smoking area, you piece of shit.”
After the tumultuous scene, Sunwoo’s office became silent.
As Kwon Seungcheol stubbornly resisted, security personnel were eventually dispatched, and Seungcheol, screaming like a whale, resisted but was eventually dragged out.
Thump. Sitting in the chair, Sunwoo bit his lip, swept his hair back, and the voice, still unpleasantly loud, kept lingering in his mind.
“You also know the person very well.”
“Jitaekwang, your father-in-law.”
The person who kidnapped me was my father-in-law.
“Saying such unbelievable things.”
It was so absurd that a chuckle escaped.
Here’s the English translation of the provided Korean paragraph, maintaining the original line breaks:
“Now, again, Star.”
At that moment, the mobile phone on Sunwoo’s desk rang. It was Eunjae. There was no reason for Eunjae to call at this hour.
It was the first time, so Sunwoo was perplexed. For some reason, he felt a chill running down his spine.
[Busy?]Whatever was so urgent, Sunwoo’s body jolted as soon as he heard Eunjae’s voice coming over the phone.
The wheeled chair, propelled by the recoil, rolled quickly, hitting the wall with a loud crash before coming to a stop.
[Looking at the schedule, it seemed like you weren’t in the middle of a consultation…….]This jerk couldn’t hold back.
“Why, what’s going on?”
With a pale face, Sunwoo asked. His voice was tense.
[No……. Do I have to have something important to call?]It was not different from usual. Sighing with relief at that voice, Sunwoo washed his face with cold water. A forced laugh followed.
Why are you so anxious? What nonsense is that?
One hand gripping the desk, supporting his body that was losing strength, and the other hand touching his forehead. Unintentionally, a deep sigh escaped.
Yeah, find out where Eunjae is.
[Feeling upset……. Should I hang up?]“No. It’s just because you called suddenly. It’s fine because I like it.”
[…….]“And you never call at this hour.”
[Ah…….]“So, call me often. I like hearing your voice.”
It felt like the ears were being cleansed. Comfortable and cozy.
“Really? That’s great. Where is it?”
[I’ll tell you the details later.]This year, Eunjae, who had repeatedly talked about wanting to get a job until the words were drilled into his ears, had an excited voice that vividly came through the phone.
Holding the phone, blushing, Eunjae bouncing around while answering the call was vividly portrayed.
My pretty, cute, lovely wife.
[In that case, shall we have dinner outside? A date, perhaps? I’ll pay.]The voice of the craftsman, flowing out of the teddy bear, overlapped with Eunjae’s voice. Even within the short message, the warmth overflowed from that voice.
Yeah, that can’t be true. That’s impossible. It doesn’t make sense.
[Why, is it not good?]In the momentary distraction, unable to concentrate on the call, Eunjae asked with a hurt voice. Sunwoo, who suddenly regained his focus, asked again.
“Huh? Oh, well, what should I buy?”
[Dinner. Mr. Sunwoo, what’s going on?]“What’s going on… It’s not like I’ve already received my salary.”
Snickering. Laughter flowed from Sunwoo’s mouth. It was a genuine laugh, not a ridiculous or forced one.
“With my card?”
[If I gave it to you to use, it’s my card. When did I say to use it recklessly? Now you find it regrettable?]“Yeah, now that you say to use it recklessly, is this really your card?”
Sunwoo’s expression, which had been serious all morning, began to loosen gradually with Eunjae’s laughter.
Here’s the English translation of the provided Korean paragraph, maintaining the original line breaks:
“Yeah, Ji Eunjae is that kind of person to me.
The only person who can freely wield the fluctuations of my emotions.
My daily vitality, the person who added grand meaning to the reason I live.
[Don’t worry; I’ll pay it all back!]“Even the interest, I’ll pay it all off.”
[Quietly, isn’t it worse than a loan shark?]And the person who made me realize what true happiness is.
Sunwoo pulled the chair, which had moved away, and sat down. And as he listened to Eunjae’s laughter, he thought.
He had to stop Kwun Seungcheol’s mouth in some way. Just in case, as he might go find Eunjae and spout the same nonsense.
So that your feelings might not get hurt.
“I miss you.”
To run like this and put his hands on your blushing cheeks. To taste the sweet breath from your lips. I want your scent to be buried deeply in my neck. And I want to whisper in your ear.
“I miss you, Ji Eunjae.”
Thump thump, listening to the sound of the heart ringing, he wanted to bury himself in a warm and deep place, to fill it up greedily.
Like when everything became okay when your hands touched during the filthy and terrifying nightmare.
[Suddenly?]“Yeah. Suddenly, I miss you.”
[Actually…… Me too!]“I’ll quickly wrap up and come get you.”
After ending the call with a smile, Sunwoo, lost in thought for a moment, quickly searched through his contacts. And his finger moved to the found contact. The call connected, and the other person’s voice was heard.
[Yes, Professor.]“Lawyer Shin, do you happen to have any schedule today? There’s something urgent I need to discuss. I’ll adjust the time.”
Sunwoo tucked his phone between his shoulder and ear and took off his gown.
[Today, there’s no special schedule, so it’s okay. I was actually going to contact you. Regarding what you asked for last time, the investigation of people around Kwun Seungcheol.]“Ah…… Yes. Besides that, I have another thing to ask. Is it okay if I visit the law firm?”
[Of course. What time will you come?]Sunwoo rolled up his sleeves and checked the time on his wristwatch.
“It’ll take about 20 minutes. Is that okay?”
[I’m fine with that. I’ll be waiting.]After hanging up the phone, with the car keys in his hand, Sunwoo recalled the conversation Kwun Seungcheol had with him.
“In my opinion, Ji Eunjae won’t stay by your side for long.”
No. That won’t happen.
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.”
