“I understand. So, there won’t be any problem if I leave, right?”
[Yes! 〉ㅁ〈 I will take responsibility and handle it!]It was clearly meant to reassure me, but a corner of my heart felt uneasy. However, for some reason, I didn’t want to delve deeper into that emotion, so I pushed the thoughts away.
“Got it. Then, I guess I don’t have to worry from now on.”
Yeah, what’s there to feel strange about? It’s even better. I don’t have to pay attention to anything else.
I quickly regained my composure.
“Now, I need to find Seon Woojin…”
How should I find him?
Then suddenly, it occurred to me.
“Oh, right.”
A map.
“Yeah, there was a map.”
I turned on the system again and used the ‘map’ function.
“I almost forgot about it since I haven’t had any use for it.”
Usually, since there was always at least one person by my side without the need to go searching, I hadn’t used this ‘map’ function since I last saw Seol Yuhwa in the neighborhood after she used it.
When I pressed ‘map,’ a large map of the school appeared before my eyes.
Now the problem is…
“…Who is Seon Woojin among these four?”
I had forgotten that I hadn’t registered other characters on the map except for Seol Yuhwa.
Right. This damn system was analog in useless parts.
“I have to meet and register them all at least once. What a hassle.”
I grumbled as I headed towards the nearest red dot.
“Can’t you just tell me?”
[I can’t do that!]Ah, seriously, so annoying.
“I have to make sure to register everyone this time.”
So, I don’t have to go through unnecessary trouble later. I pouted with dissatisfaction.
“But which one out of these four is who?”
Who was left in the school right now?
Seol Yuhwa is registered, excluding Seon Woojin and Yu Hina, who are probably at the hospital. Seon Woojin might be at school. Including. That leaves two more…
And as I turned the corner, I immediately knew one of the answers.
“Oh.”
It was Han Yewon.
When Han Yewon and I made direct eye contact, her face showed a clear sign of surprise. She hastily turned around and disappeared in the opposite direction.
I stared blankly at the spot where Han Yewon disappeared.
“What’s going on? Did she commit a crime against me or something?”
Han Yewon, despite her innocent image and being the ex-girlfriend of the male lead, was not a weak type, so her current reaction was a bit unexpected.
“Did I treat her so badly last time?”
No way. It shouldn’t be.
“…She left before even getting registered.”
Well, at least I know who she is now.
Now, excluding the red dot representing Seol Yuhwa, I just need to visit the other two places.
Without thinking further, I moved my steps again.
The second closest red dot was Seol Yuhwa. I didn’t intend to go to Seol Yuhwa, but I somehow ended up running into her on the way.
This time, Seol Yuhwa was with other kids. More precisely, she was being harassed by them.
“Hmm… I told myself not to interfere last time.”
I glanced at Seol Yuhwa, contemplating what to do. Meanwhile, the kids continued to vent their anger towards Seol Yuhwa.
“Alright. Since I have something to ask Seol Yuhwa anyway.”
Let me intervene just this once.
After making up my mind, I approached the kids.
“Hey, I have something to say to that person over there.”
Upon hearing my words, the kids hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances, and then looked at me cautiously. I gave them a stern look.
“If you have nothing to say, how about leaving?”
The kids mumbled to each other and disappeared. As they passed by, I wondered if they were cursing me behind my back.
“Well, can’t be helped.”
Focusing on one thing at a time will get me nowhere.
After the area cleared, I approached Seol Yuhwa.
“Are you okay?”
In response, Seol Yuhwa gritted her teeth and spoke.
“…I told you not to interfere.”
Ah, as expected.
I should have just stayed quiet.
I felt a shiver down my spine from Seol Yuhwa’s piercing gaze.
“Sorry, but I have something to ask.”
I whispered, fearing that other passing kids might hear.
“Shall we go somewhere else for now?”
Seol Yuhwa glared at me for a moment and then nodded.
We went to the equipment storage room.
“…Again, here.”
But there was no better place for sharing secret stories than here. I sighed and entered the storage room, making sure not to forget to leave the door open.
“So… What do you want to ask?”
I quickly opened my mouth at Seol Yuhwa’s words.
“Oh, about Sung Jichan. I heard he was hospitalized. Did something happen yesterday?”
When I asked, Seol Yuhwa answered sullenly.
“Nothing happened.”
“Huh?”
“Nothing at all.”
Then why was Sung Jichan hospitalized? Is it unrelated to Seol Yuhwa?
When I thought about it, Seol Yuhwa spoke again.
“He kept taking up my bed, so I just sent him to the hospital out of irritation.”
Seol Yuhwa raised her fist expressionlessly.
“He seemed reluctant to go to the hospital because his condition was ambiguous, so I made sure to make it clear for him.”
“…”
Did you really do that? Seeing my frozen state, Seol Yuhwa smirked.
“I’m kidding.”
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.”
