Now, even his heart felt awkward.
He intended to suggest an impossible and absurd condition, but suddenly, he didn’t want to.
Hyeseok, who opened the door, had a perplexed expression.
In the morning, that woman came, and now it was Min Seontae’s turn.
Despite hiding it, colorful flowers were visible behind his large stature.
Hyeseok asked calmly, thinking about how big a bouquet she must have bought.
“What brings you here without any notice?”
“Isn’t it still evening?”
“…Yes.”
In her heart, she wanted to confront her and slam the door shut, but she endured it.
After all, she hadn’t received the land back yet.
“How about going out with me for dinner tonight?”
What kind of ghostly nonsense is she talking about?
“You don’t take care of yourself alone. I’ll buy you a delicious dinner.”
In reality, Hyeseok took care of herself so well that it was almost annoying. She prepared well-balanced meals, including multigrain rice, meat side dishes, vegetable side dishes, and hearty soup.
The reason was her daughter.
When she first lived independently, her daughter interfered in everything, fearing that Hyeseok would fall apart living alone. She asked her to send pictures of what she ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and even insisted on taking supplements, emphasizing not to fantasize about being alone.
At first, it was annoying, but before she knew it, it became a habit.
“I’m sorry, but I’m tired.”
Suntae’s expression was quite surprised at Hyeseok’s refusal. However, she extended flowers and spoke again.
“You shouldn’t be tired, so get ready and come out. We can talk while eating since there’s something I want to discuss.”
Suddenly, the words of that woman came to mind.
Father’s house and the land where the father slept.
Could it be because of that? She was persuaded so easily by that woman’s words.
Her mind became complicated in an instant, but without revealing it, Hyeseok said, “Please wait for ten minutes.”
Inside the taxi.
Taehui muttered while pressing her forehead against the window.
“Grandfather is really too much. What if I say something impossible after talking like that?”
Heegu’s conditions were two.
First, reconcile her son Yongjin and grandson Sajun, who lived like iron and steel.
Forehead against the window again.
“I’d rather reconcile Romeo and Juliet’s parents.”
Second, make Sajun willingly become the successor of the Seomun.
Forehead against the window again.
“I didn’t even like the idea of that, even if a knife was put to my neck.”
Sitting in the back seat, Taehui kept muttering and pressing her forehead against the window. Only then did the taxi driver say a word.
“Miss, if you keep doing that, the window will break, and your pretty forehead will get bruised.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
After apologizing to the taxi driver, Taehui, who sat up in the correct posture, calmly organized her thoughts again.
Sajun hates two things the most: marriage and Seomun. Pretending to love me and even wanting to marry me is more unpleasant for him than marriage, and Seomun and his biological father are more unpleasant than marriage.
Another reason is that Sajun is too free-spirited. Being the leader of a group is not an easy task. Leading Seomun, who is part of the top three in the country, is not easy either. To take responsibility for thousands of employees, one must be entangled in many things, be diligent, and deal with many headaches.
Moreover, many media outlets and the people of South Korea would scrutinize Sajun, who is in the public eye.
Everything Sajun hates.
A life and rules predetermined by others, headaches, responsibilities, a life under surveillance, and the deprivation of freedom.
Heegu made all the things Sajun finds terrifying into conditions.
So, a sigh is inevitable.
Of course, it’s unlikely that Sajun will love me, and there will be no need to fulfill those conditions.
Knowing that, why do I bother with headaches and thoughts?
It was a innate personality trait.
Whenever there was something to do, a peculiar obsession emerged, like a strange dust, insisting on accomplishing the impossible, experiencing the thrill and pleasure that comes after challenging the impossible. It was like when Sajun and I became friends 13 years ago, despite considering it absolutely impossible.
Because there is always a hole to rise through even when the sky falls.
Taehui sent a message to Sajun saying she was taking a taxi, but then deleted it and muttered, “Kang Sajun, you were wrong.”
Contrary to the saying that just breathing would make him look pretty, Heegu looked at her with a prejudiced gaze from the first meal they shared. Heegu was displeased and uncomfortable after judging her existence based not on Taehui herself but on her past, family background, and family history.
At the moment she realized that, a faint sense of rivalry ignited.
But today, as she confirmed once again with her own eyes, the faint flame rose like a huge blaze.
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.”
