You liked the rabbit doll keychain wearing overall pants that you carried around like a charm. You said you would carry it as a couple.
“Still, it was nice to hear your voice after a long time, slowly…”
Today, your absence feels particularly intense.
Staring at the endlessly pouring rain, Miran let out a deep sigh.
Everything is visible from there. What our Eunjae is thinking now, how difficult it is for her.
“Even though you know so well, what are you doing there? How long are you just going to watch?”
Our Eunjae, please take care of yourself. You can do it, right?
“I’ve firmly believed that it wouldn’t be you all this time, but now even I am confused. There’s no one left to believe in me now.
“My poor husband…”
Suddenly turning her head, Miran, who had been staring at the empty chair, recalled Sunwoo’s calm storytelling from this morning, where he knelt on the cold floor and continued.
“I made a mistake, Mother.”

“Why is this your fault? Get up quickly, hurry.”
“I knew Eunjae was struggling because of the debt. I’m the scoundrel who took advantage of that and proposed marriage, fully aware of it.”
“What is this…”
“My grandfather promised to give me the hospital if I got married. It was a contract marriage I suggested, with the condition of helping Eunjae pay off the debt. Once the hospital becomes mine, we agreed to divorce after a year.”
“What are you talking about now? A contract marriage? Are you saying you and Eunjae got into a contract marriage?”
“It started like that, but now I truly love Eunjae. I understand it’s something that can’t be forgiven by any means. So, please let me stay by Eunjae’s side, as I will live with a lifetime of remorse… Please.”
Recalling Sunwoo’s words, Miran, with eyes reddened, hit her chest as if something were stuck, thump, thump, thump.
“Eunjae… Why did you do that? Why?”
Selling her daughter and sacrificing herself like this, what’s the use?
Carrying an unbearable burden on the young one, claiming to be a mother. Just living for herself like that, struggling so desperately.

“I’m sorry to you, Mom, for how you’re going to live…”
Realizing that everything she had casually enjoyed and taken for granted was her daughter’s sacrifice, her throat choked up.
Our daughter, who wore a ten-thousand-won pair of sneakers as a middle school entrance gift until high school graduation without a single complaint.
Our kind daughter who worked silently in the store without expressing any difficulty after coming back from work all day.
What sin did you commit in your past life, and what virtue did I accumulate in mine?
Now, I understand those strange behaviors and odd expressions you showed back then.
I didn’t know at all. Oblivious, I simply thought it was fine…
“If Eunjae is burdened, I will definitely keep the promise of making her not resent me anymore. I hope Mother will help me a little too.”
“To be honest, suggesting a divorce wasn’t my intention. How could I tell Eunjae to get a divorce as if I had the right?”
“I expected this. I also know that Mother wouldn’t do that.”

“She’s undoubtedly suffering silently. Since this is all I can do as a bad mother, I might as well become worse here. What more can I do to help in this state?”
“If it were Eunjae, she would probably try to move to another hospital. She might have already checked.”
“…”
“To keep Eunjae by my side, please help, Mother.”
At that moment when Miran was deeply lost in thought, the door to the hospital room creaked open. It was Miran’s assigned nurse. Wiping away tears that had trickled down her cheeks with the back of her hand, Miran lay back on the bed.
The nurse who approached Miran administered medication through the IV and asked, “You mentioned having a stomachache this morning; is it a bit better now?”
Eunjae.
When Yun Seobang went in for Mom’s surgery, he said something like that.
That you would become healthier than before. So, go ahead and trust me once.
That’s why I could lie down on the operating table with peace of mind. And indeed, you’ve completely regained your health like this, haven’t you? These days, it feels like you’ve returned to your twenties.
So, this time, Mom wants to trust Yun Seobang again. Yun Seobang is a benefactor to Mom. Mom wants to repay this favor.

Thinking deeply, Mom pondered what she could do for Yun Seobang.
Although I felt repulsed by making such an absurd suggestion to you.
No matter how much I think about it, it seems like Yun Seobang must be with you. Just like you must be with Yun Seobang.
“I’m still a bit in pain.”
So, Mom, don’t hate me too much.
Usually, after finishing academy classes, I spent most of the time with Mom at the hospital and then moved to the studio. Today, I arrived at the detached house two hours earlier than usual. It was to pack up.
Saying that I would go home instead of the studio earlier than planned, I remembered the awkward face of the driver who seemed to report something after saying, “Just a moment.” He was typing something on his phone. Perhaps it was related.
This hunch is probably not wrong.
You must be anxious about where I’m going. What if you already find out, how sad it would be.
When Eunjae entered the detached house, Aunt Seongsan, who was changing the centerpieces, warmly welcomed Eunjae. She approached Eunjae, brushing off her hands on her apron.

“You came early. I’ve prepared galbijjim. Go wash up and come down. I’ll get ready for you.”
“Oh, I have something to do… I’ll come down in an hour.”
“Yes. I’ll get everything ready for you. Oh! Right.”
Grabbing Eunjae, who was about to go upstairs, Aunt Seongsan handed her a package that had been placed in the living room.
“It’s a package that came when your mother was in the hospital. I thought I should give it to you when you come. I almost forgot.”
Having received the package, Eunjae checked the sender written on the invoice and held her breath.
J Wedding Studio. It was a wedding photoshoot album.
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)
