No matter how you look at it, he didn’t seem to be twenty. Maybe she couldn’t match the conditions to choose a person, considering his age. He had to be mentally young, obedient, and have no other family members.
Even though she knew he wasn’t her real brother, the innocent expression calling her ‘Eunseo Unni’ kept bothering her.
“What crime did he commit? He probably just liked that his sister was coming.”
Eunseo sighed.
“Since it’s Christmas, I want to buy him a present.”
“Okay. Let’s do everything you want.”
He held Eunseo’s hand tightly and said, “Let’s do everything you want.”
‘I miss our Eunho so much.’
Actually, that’s what she wanted to say, but Eunseo swallowed it down and leaned on his shoulder. Telling him an unattainable wish would only make him sad.
Let’s be satisfied with just facing the person we like right now.
Staring at the sparkling Christmas tree, Eunseo thought that way.
Christmas Eve night.
Yejin was sitting alone at the hotel lounge bar where jazz carols were softly playing, sipping on a cocktail.
Her mood lately was at its worst. Her father, Chairman Woo, who had promised to meet with Chairman Kwon of Daewon Group soon to arrange a marriage with Kwon Seungjoo, had been too busy during the year-end, and there had been no news so far.
So by now, they were probably spending a romantic Christmas Eve.
[Kwon Seungjoo, how is it in bed?]When she asked last time, Yoon Eunseo couldn’t answer.
[I don’t know, haven’t seen it.]But somehow, it seemed like it would be different next time they met.
Yejin found that dreadful. While I spend Christmas alone, how dare he!
On this good day, sitting alone and thinking only about the man who insulted her was incredibly miserable.
Everything in the world was unpleasant. The street outside, dyed in beautiful colors, the jazz carol flowing inside the bar, and the lounge bar, originally quiet, packed with couples enjoying the night view.
The worst Christmas. She sighed and stood up, but she saw a man sitting alone at the bar, tilting a whiskey glass.
For some reason, Yejin couldn’t help but giggle when she saw the man’s face.
‘Kwon Seunghyun?’
No doubt. Sometime ago, at a party, she saw people gossiping about that man.
[Is that Kwon Seunghyun?] [That’s right. The second son born to the Nation’s Second!]Until recently, she wouldn’t have cared. However, the moment she remembered that the man was Kwon Seungjoo’s half-brother and rival, her feet were automatically heading in that direction.
“Mr. Kwon Seunghyun, right?”
When she suddenly struck up a conversation, the man raised his head and looked at Yejin. Looking at his face up close, it felt different from the charismatic Kwon Seungjoo, but this one was also quite handsome. After all, he was the son born to the woman who captured the heart of the chairwoman of Daewon Group with her beauty.
“Who?”
“I’m Woo Yejin.”
The man, who had asked somewhat annoyingly, immediately adjusted his posture upon hearing Yejin’s answer.
“Woo Yejin? Taesung Group, by any chance?”
Nodding her head, Yejin raised her eyebrows meaningfully.
“You seem to be alone over there too. Want to have a drink?”
“Shall we go out for a walk for a moment?”
Even though the house is so beautiful, Seungjoo suggested going out for a night walk. Eunseo didn’t ask for a reason and followed him. If this man says to go, she feels like she could follow him anywhere.
The new coat he put on earlier was the same product as the old one. The feeling of healing the hurt heart from the ruined coat was comforting. It’s also precious in the same way because Seungjoo bought it, just like this one.
As they held hands and endlessly walked through the neighborhood, something she had always been curious about came to mind.
“You know. After going into your father’s house at the age of eighteen, how did you live, Mr. Seungjoo?”
“You don’t really need to know about that.”
He answered, gripping Eunseo’s hand with strength as if he was giving emphasis. It seemed not that he didn’t want to talk because he was upset but rather that he thought it might be upsetting for her to hear.
“No, please tell me.”
Now Eunseo had to know everything about Kwon Seungjoo. From now on, no matter what happens, they would cry and laugh together.
“We’ve always been curious about it. Even if you lost your memory due to an accident, why did you go back to when you were eighteen, just before entering your father’s house?”
Timing-wise, it was just before entering his father’s house, so Eunseo had guessed that there might have been bad things happening afterward. That’s why he went back to that time.
It seems her assumption was correct.
“Probably went back to just before entering the house in Pyeongchang-dong.”
Seungjoo replied bitterly.
“…Because it was hell from that point on.”
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.”
