He was holding a plaster and other firstaid medicines in his hand. But instead of handing them over immediately, he looked from the tip of Eun Chae’s foot to the top of her head and then opened his mouth.
“Are you hurt?”
Eun Chae felt like she was falling backward. Seeing an unexpected face unexpectedly made her body stiffen.
After staring at his white eyes for a long time, she thought she was having an illusion. That ridiculous thought even brushed her mind for a moment.
“Ah……”
A moment later, Eun Chae let out a low sigh. The tall man who had to bend his head more than usual to completely fit into her sight dropped his gaze. Ki Joo, whose eyes met hers, tilted his head as if asking why she was just staring.
The body that perfectly digested the tailored suit was glossy under the corridor lighting. Even the firstaid supplies in his hand looked stylish. It was funny, but that was Eun Chae’s impression.
“Eun Chae, is something wrong?”
There had been no news, so she came from behind worried. Eun Chae finally came to her senses then. The embarrassed girl forcibly took the things Ki Joo had in his hand, and even closed the door with a loud noise.
The sound was loud enough to be unpleasant, and by the time she realized it, she was already back in the bedroom.
The people who were waiting looked at her with bewildered eyes.
“I asked him to bring these.”
Eun Chae spoke as if to defend herself unconsciously. The eyes returned as if to ask why she was so surprised, but there was nothing she could explain. She just looked down at what was in her hand with a perplexed face.
In the meantime, Ga Hee, who was craning her neck and looking over the door, spoke with a flushed face.
“Was that person here too? I thought only scarylooking people came.”
“Who? Is it that…?”
Mi Rae, who habitually asked back, opened her eyes wide in the middle of speaking as if she had noticed. Then, Ga Hee nodded enthusiastically with more excitement.
“You know, the one both you and I know!”
“What, I didn’t see!”
“He was really handsome. Why is that face still in the real world? He should be in an agency’s underground practice room.”
As she said that, Ga Hee’s eyes sparkled. It wasn’t surprising as she was always fantasizing about celebrities and often made them the topic of conversation. But for some reason, Eun Chae felt uncomfortable.
She consciously opened her mouth to ventilate her mind, which was getting unnecessarily complicated.
She asked about Ga Hee’s idol concert review, which she was not curious about, pretended to know the lines of a drama she had never seen, and led the conversation in a different direction. Fortunately, the atmosphere flowed well.
As the alcohol was moderately in, it was only a matter of time before one by one collapsed on the bed. After Ga Hee, who had held out to the last, fell asleep, Eun Chae quietly left the room.
Her alcohol tolerance was weak, and she felt tipsy quickly, so she had been controlling it from the beginning. Nevertheless, her face was hot, perhaps it wasn’t enough.
As she pressed her hot cheeks with the back of her hand, Eun Chae went outside the building. The ski resort seen at night was different. Unlike the bustling daytime, there were only a few people skiing down.
Eun Chae stared blankly at the serene scenery before turning on her heel, clutching her cardigan. However, before she could take a step, she halted.
She had noticed Kwon Ki Joo leaning against the exterior wall of their lodgings. With the remaining trees in the background, he lifted his gaze.
They seemed to lock eyes for a few seconds. But Eun Chae, rather than initiating conversation, turned away, stretching her legs in the opposite direction to where he stood.
She felt his sticky gaze pulling at her back, but she ignored it.
Where she stopped was a small smoking booth. A familiar man hastily put out the cigarette he had been smoking.
It was then that Eun Chae remembered that he was the man staying in the room next to hers. She was sensitive to glances, and it annoyed her to be sneakily stared at. Annoyed by his words, Eun Chae avoided his gaze.
The man, who had been wafting away the smoke lingering in the air with his hand, heard footsteps coming closer.
Just as Eun Chae was about to dodge the looming annoyance.
“Song Eun Chae.”
Kwon Ki Joo walked up to her. Eun Chae took a deep breath. The cold air filled her lungs and for a moment, her head spun.
His hair was wildly tossed about by the wind, moving against its direction. That wind revealed his flawless forehead and nose.
“Why are you coming out now. I was waiting.”
His briefly smiling face felt familiar and affectionate.
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.”
