After finishing a meal with her family and leaving the house, Ji Yeon, who decided to spend more time with her older sister Ji Eun, headed to her own house with her.
She wanted to show her place first to her sister, even though her parents would also come later.
“Wow, our little one is living in a good place? I also looked into this place before. But at that time, there were no listings available, and even after waiting a long time, nothing came out, so I gave up and looked into the place I’m living in now. Can I visit often?”
Ji Eun raised both her thumbs and Ji Yeon proudly smiled.
The two took out some beverages and simple snacks from the fridge and sat at the table.
“I’d always welcome you if you came over. But I’m not sure if your husband would allow it.”
“Ah…your brotherinlaw. Oh my.”
Ji Eun and her husband Ji Hoon were very close.
So close, in fact, that you could say Ji Hoon was Ji Eun’s shadow.
Vice President Kim Ji Hoon, who was famous for his charismatic management at a renowned financial company, was a man who showed a cute side, like a subservient lion in front of his wife.
Especially unless it was an unavoidable situation like a business trip,
he had to sleep at home!
He had to be home before midnight even after a company dinner!
He always spent Saturday evenings with his wife!
He did not do anything his wife told him not to!
…he was a poor, devoted husband who practiced these. On the contrary, Ji Eun might have been annoyed.
“We’ve been together for almost 10 years if you include our dating period, and I don’t know what to do if he’s still so passionate. Your sister is really tired because of your brotherinlaw.”
“I’m so envious? If it’s a person like brotherinlaw, he’s really a toptier husband, isn’t he? He’s very domestic, loves his wife a lot, and how well does he treat his parentsinlaw? Plus, he does great in his job. Brotherinlaw is the best!”
Ji Yeon spoke to her sister with envy.
“But I’m curious, are you and brotherinlaw still hot?”
“What’s hot?”
“Ah… that… you know.”
Ji Yeon awkwardly stuttered, causing Ji Eun to laugh lightly.
“I didn’t expect the day would come when I talk about the birds and the bees with our little one. It’s really something you learn as you get older.”
“Sister, I’m in my thirties! I’ve been married and tried all sorts of things, so I know everything there is to know!”
“Well… From what I see, I’m not sure if you even know a tenth of what your sister knows.”
“I don’t care, don’t care. Anyway, things are still good with brotherinlaw, right?”
“Yes. It’s a little tough on me because his energy is the same now as it was ten years ago, but it’s good. My friends say I’m lucky, though they sometimes criticize me.”
Ji Eun shrugged her shoulders and struck an exaggerated pose.
“I’m glad. Brotherinlaw doesn’t make it hard for my sister, and he still loves her passionately.”
Upon hearing that, Ji Eun’s face darkened a little.
“Ji Yeon.”
“Hmm?”
“What you did and what you received was not love. You know that, right?”
At Ji Eun’s words, Ji Yeon slowly nodded with a bitter smile.
“In my opinion, rather than love, it’s like a baby duck thinking the first thing it sees when it opens its eyes in the world is its mother, you were caught up in feelings for someone you’ve never had before, and gradually fell into your own thoughts and became blindly idolized. But whatever that was, I don’t think there’s anyone who would return such feelings so dirtily, like trash. That guy is just trash. You know there aren’t only people like that in the world, right?”
“I know… sister.”
“Of course, it would be great if we only made the right, good choices in life, but that’s difficult. I, too, had a difficult relationship before Mr. Ji Hoon. You know him, that terrible one.”
“Oh right, I remember. He was a pretty strange person.”
“Back then, I thought that was love, and I thought that was all. But my family opposed it, so I just got more upset, and that fueled the fire, taking me further astray. I didn’t know then, but what I needed was advice from those around me. Someone to see things straight for me, be it a friend or family.”
“……”
“If my friends hadn’t chased me around to stop me, I might have made a wrong choice and struggled. Looking back, it was their advice filled with love that saved me. They were the ones who pulled me out of the pit. I believe you have such friends, too. I hope I can be that person for you as well.”
“Thanks, sister.”
“Talk to me whenever you need to, I’ll just listen if you want. I won’t ever blame you or pressure you. Understand?”
Ji Yeon hugged her sister tightly.
“But how lucky, to shake off such a strange guy now. It must have been a very tough three years for you, but considering the next 30, 60 years… the rest of your life, let’s think it’s a relief. Now that you’ve gotten rid of him, all you have to do is meet a good person.”
Ji Eun gently tousled Ji Yeon’s hair and smiled.
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.”
