As the two were engrossed in their act, oblivious to Do Ha’s approach, his subdued voice reached Seo Bin’s ear.
“Seo Bin….”
Seo Bin, startled, stopped kissing and turned around. Behind her stood Do Ha with a face that had turned pale white.
“How could you do this to me?”
“Oppa?”
Seo Bin couldn’t make any excuses to Do Ha, who had just seen her kissing another man.
The man who was just kissing Seo Bin approached Do Ha and said.
“If you’ve seen it, then get lost now.”
Do Ha glared at him, his eyes filled with force. His eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his jaw and fists.
Do Ha took a step towards the man and lifted him by the collar with both hands.
Caught off guard by his sudden action, the man choked for breath.
Breathing hard, Do Ha was about to press him more but then released his hands. The man who had escaped from Do Ha’s grip bent over, panting heavily.
Seo Bin looked at Do Ha with a pitiful expression. After glaring at Seo Bin, Do Ha spoke in a faint voice.
“It’s over between us now.”
At his words, Seo Bin responded with startled eyes.
“Oppa, I was just bored and went to the club for a while. The kiss was because of him suddenly. I also drank and was out of my mind. I love you, Oppa.”
Do Ha didn’t even look at Seo Bin, who was pleading with him.
His warm gaze that had adored her until yesterday was long gone.
Startled by his eerie and cold gaze, Seo Bin flinched unconsciously.
Do Ha, without looking at Seo Bin, walked towards his car. Silent tears streamed down from his expressionless eyes.
He got in the car and took off at a frightening speed. Seo Bin stared at Do Ha’s car with a stunned expression.
Soon, the man came up next to her and asked gently.
“Are you okay? It’s over now. You can only look at me.”
Seo Bin widened her eyes and choked as she stared at the path Do Ha had left.
“Seo Bin? What’s wrong?”
Seo Bin, with an annoyed look, shot a glance at the man who was looking at her curiously.
“Get lost.”
“What?”
“Can you compare to Oppa?”
“Hey… Were you messing with me just now?”
The man looked at Seo Bin in disbelief, but she ignored him and walked into the house, slamming the door shut.
Do Ha, who had been driving for a while, pulled over the car on the side of the road.
His shoulders were shaking violently. He had witnessed the woman he thought was his destiny kissing another man right in front of his eyes.
He was infuriated with her for turning their love into a thirdrate drama or Bgrade movie.
It felt like he was having a nightmare he didn’t want to dream again.
Do Ha was in agony for a long time, and after breaking up with her, he turned into a cold and cynical personality.
He never smiled. Not in front of others.
He now found it difficult to trust anyone.
Because he was like that, he could understand how she felt when she was betrayed by her husband.
It seemed like he knew how much she couldn’t breathe, how much she wanted to die.
Do Ha looked at her and said,
“Why have you lost so much weight? Aren’t you eating?”
“Ah…… No, it’s not like that.”
“What’s not like that? You have a lot to apologize to me for, let’s settle it with one meal.”
“Excuse me?”
“First, give me your hand.”
Do Ha snatched the clump of hair that Ra Hee was still tightly gripping from So Myung, then threw it into a nearby trash can.
“Aren’t you going to leave?”
Do Ha looked at So Myung and took the lead, and So Myung thought that she could at least treat him to a meal in return for his help.
Her feelings were terrible at the moment, but she didn’t want to be rude to the person who had gone to great lengths to help her.
“Um…… CEO. I brought the car.”
“Is that so. Well, that’s good. Give me the key.”
“Excuse me?”
When Do Ha asked for the key, So Myung looked at him with surprised eyes.
“Why are you so surprised? I’ll drive because you must be flustered.”
“Ah…… Yes.”
“But, do you have the money to buy me a meal? I’m going to eat something expensive.”
“Yes. I have it.”
“Alright. Is this the car?”
Do Ha asked, pointing to So Myung’s SUV. So Myung just nodded her head without a word.
Now that he looked at her, she was dressed in a neat suit and even had makeup on.
She was very beautiful that day.
Do Ha saw her in a new light. Do Ha, who had been looking at her for a moment, soon composed himself and spoke to So Myung.
“Get in.”
“Yes.”
Do Ha started the car and slowly began to drive So Myung’s car. While driving, Do Ha asked So Myung.
“Um…… I still don’t know your name.”
“Ah, yes. When I greeted you last time, I mentioned my husband’s name, not mine. My name is Hong So Myung.”
“Ah, Ms. So Myung. How old are you?”
“I’m thirtyfour.”
“We are the same age then.”
Upon hearing that they were the same age, So Myung looked at him as he drove.
“Can I call you Ms. So Myung?”
Do Ha’s cold and cynical expression had long disappeared. He was gently asking while looking at So Myung.
“Yes.”
“My name is Cha Do Ha.”
“I know.”
“You don’t need to call me CEO, just speak comfortably.”
“Yes.”
Do Ha wanted to feed her something. Her face looked too gaunt.
Her eyes were so sad that he also felt sad when he looked at her.
After driving for a while, a quiet Seolleongtang (Korean bone soup) restaurant came into view. He parked the car there.
“Ms. So Myung, you are paying, but can I eat what I like?”
“Yes. You can even have two bowls.”
At So Myung’s words, Do Ha found her response so adorable that he burst into laughter without realizing it.
Surprised at his own laughter, he soon tried to compose his expression again.
“It’s nice to see you smile.”
So Myung said, looking at him. He unknowingly felt a buoyant feeling.
To be pleased by her compliment…… He couldn’t understand why he was behaving this way today.
He, who was not used to trusting people and felt more comfortable being alone, kept paying attention to So Myung next to him. Do Ha suddenly felt peculiar.
He thought to himself.
‘The feeling I have for her is sympathy. Yes. Because I’ve experienced it too. It’s pity. Yes. That’s what it is.’
He tried to deceive his own feelings and said to her.
“Let’s sit over there.”
So Myung and Do Ha sat down and ordered Seolleongtang.
Soon after, steaming hot bowls of Seolleongtang were placed in front of them, the rising steam wafting around them.
Do Ha, looking at So Myung, spoke warmly.
“Eat a lot.”
He said to her, unable to take his eyes off her.
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.”
