As she lifted her head holding the fully removed cork, her eyes met with Kang Hyun’s.
She wondered if this was really a dinner meeting, having unnecessarily opened the cork.
His pitchblack pupils, closer to his eyelids, exuded an inexplicably obscene atmosphere, making it impossible to predict what he was thinking.
“Take it.”
Along with this monotonous voice, his gaze seemed briefly indifferent, but the incessant eye contact was insistent enough to make her skin hot.
Ji An, who had lifted a glass, detached her tingling fingertips from the wine bottle as if she were holding his hand in the office.
Watching the wine flow into the round glass through the narrow entrance, she felt somewhat dizzy.
“Maybe you should stop drinking.”
“Just one more glass, it’s so good!”
Where did she learn to drink alcohol, which she normally didn’t drink well?
Ji An, who emptied her glass as it was filled, swayed with a flushed face. Before she knew it, a bottle of wine was empty.
She was worried that she might get sick, but she couldn’t abandon her flirtatious voice.
“Executive, I have a question.”
“Go ahead.”
“Was that the chairman of Seo Won Group earlier?”
Kang Hyun, who was lightly swirling the stem of the wine glass, nodded.
“So why did you borrow his hand?”
“To show you.”
“To show me?”
Ji An, who could not easily understand what he said, blew her hot nose with a blushing face. Even her cheeks were flushed.
“We haven’t found the culprit who caused the accident yet.”
“Oh, I heard that from Yoon Ju.”
“I wanted to see how the person suspected of being the culprit would react when he sees Miss Seo Ji An.”
“Suspect…the chairman of Seo Won Group?”
Ji An, who unknowingly raised her voice, was startled by her own anger and covered her mouth. Then she remembered the fact that the soundproofing of the room was excellent and lowered her hand.
“Yes, although the possibility is small.”
“So did you come out to catch the culprit with me, because you found the same face after 4 years?”
“Can I do that?”
Kang Hyun showed a fleeting smile.
When Chairman Tae Seok Kyu came to the office, he deliberately created a dramatic situation, but he had no intention of using her to catch the culprit.
Of course, if she wanted to become Seo Yoon and help catch the culprit, he could find a reason to treat her as a lover.
Then maybe he could hold her once.
After seeing Ha Joon, his hypocrisy of letting Seo Yoon go comfortably was exposed, and his hidden true feelings began to show little by little, but it was not enough to put Seo Yoon in danger.
“How can I help you?”
“Your face is the same. Having you next to me, like Seo Ji An being Seo Yoon, helps just by your existence. But I don’t intend to….”
“Wait.”
Nodding rhythmically, Ji An who had been shaking her head up and down, stiffened her neck like a stray cat sensing danger.
“This is a scam. I was hired as the executive’s secretary, not Han Seo Yoon!”
Ji An pouted adorably with halfclosed eyes and crossed her arms. She didn’t forget to nag about being suspicious when offered a lot of money.
Kang Hyun was about to say he had no intention of using her to catch the criminal, but kept his mouth shut to watch her cute reaction for a moment.
Her wriggling eyebrows, her twinkling nose, it was a precious face that he didn’t want to miss a thing.
“I found out the secret of my birth because of the executive. I knew it before I lost my memory, but still! Wait, I had an accident 4 years ago, didn’t I? I wonder if twins have the same destiny? Yes, because they were born at the same moment!”
Maybe she was the type who becomes sharper when drunk.
Kang Hyun was momentarily taken aback by the accident story that came out while she was babbling on without context, and he averted his gaze from Ji An.
“Why do you avoid it! You look at me intently every day, you mold my feelings like clay.”
“When did I mold your heart like clay?”
“You did! I feel weird when I see the executive. I feel like I’m melting.”
“It’s not about liking or disliking, it’s just weird?”
“It’s something that can’t be described with words. So I’ll help you catch the criminal. I’ve never seen my twin, but it’s my only bloodline. And come visit my house.”
Ji An, whose strength was draining, leaned on the soft backrest and grumbled, forcing strength into her drooping eyelids.
“I’m your genie in a lamp, I am. Listen to everything that Tae Kang Hyun says.”
Kang Hyun covered his continually rising lips.
“I’ll take care of catching the criminal, I’ll just come to your house.”
The fact that she hadn’t completely disappeared from Seo Yoon’s subconscious warmed his troubled heart.
“Miss Seo Ji An.”
“Yes.”
“What’s your drinking habit? Forgetting everything when you wake up…”
“What are you talking about in front of someone who’s lost all her memory!”
Ji An looked sad, hugging her small head as if trying to protect it.
“Ah, I’m sorry.”
While anxiously watching Ji An who was swaying from side to side from the alcohol, Kang Hyun couldn’t stop his sudden burst of laughter.
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.”
