Yoon’s face turned red instantly at Kang Hyun’s words.
“Why do you turn red so quickly? Don’t even think about deceiving me. Got it?”
Kang Hyun tapped on Yoon’s flushed face, seeing her blush.
‘Adorable Seo Yoon.’
He burst out laughing at the sight of Yoon, who was even redder than before. At the sound of his laughter, Yoon, who was looking at him, became stunned.
He was a man who rarely smiled, even in advertisements. Consequently, his cynical expression became something like a trademark.
However, there were occasional moments when he would smile brightly like this. It usually happened when he received absurd questions from reporters, but whenever he smiled like that, his fans would go wild.
Recently, that man had been looking at her and smiling brightly like this.
‘Kang Hyun must have dated a lot of women.’
Suddenly, with this thought, Yoon felt gloomy. She thought of the women who had been involved in scandals with him.
She didn’t know if he had actually dated those women, but they were all beautiful and impressive.
Seeing Yoon fiddling with her hand, Kang Hyun poked her cheek again. Without him realizing, his hands always reached out to her.
He wanted to touch her, poke her, and stroke her. It was a strange feeling he had never experienced before, but he didn’t dislike it.
“What did you do while I was away?”
As they stopped at a signal, Kang Hyun asked, stroking her head.
“I just studied a bit……”
“Do your studying in the study from now on.”
“But I have a desk in my room too.”
“The desk is small.”
“Small? It’s really spacious and nice.”
Yoon really liked the desk he had bought her. It was sturdy and wide, and the faint smell of wood made her feel comfortable.
What she liked the most was that sitting at that desk made all her worries disappear. It seemed to provide a psychological sense of stability, helping her to concentrate well.
“Still, studying in the same place can get boring, so whether it’s the study or the living room, do it wherever you feel comfortable.”
“Yes.”
As Yoon looked out the window, she suddenly thought of the hedgehog, which the gardener might abandon at any time. Yoon turned her head to sneak a glance at Kang Hyun, who was driving.
‘Would he say no? Should I ask grandma then?’
“If you have something to say, say it.”
Kang Hyun opened his mouth, seeing Yoon hesitating.
“Kang Hyun, do you… dislike hedgehogs?”
“What?”
Kang Hyun looked at Yoon, taken aback by the sudden mention of a hedgehog.
“Well, the son of our school teacher has a hedgehog, but his husband dislikes it, so it might get abandoned. No matter what, it’s a creature that has lived in a home, and I worry if it can survive if it’s left outside. I feel sorry for it and want to take it in. Would that be okay? In my room, just… I think it will be quiet.”
Yoon carefully whispered her words, watching his reaction. Then Kang Hyun looked at her pensively and opened his mouth.
“Do you know?”
“Huh?”
“That you just talked the most you’ve ever talked since we met.”
“……”
“Do as you like. Why make it so difficult?”
How could he not agree when she was asking with such a coaxing tone? It wouldn’t have mattered if it were a snake or a tiger, he would have agreed to anything.
“Really? Can I do that?”
Yoon, who was almost giving up thinking Kang Hyun would not allow it, finally smiled broadly.
“Thank you.”
“You like it that much?”
“It’s not so much that I like it, but I felt bad because it might get abandoned. Moreover, the poor creature doesn’t even know that it could be abandoned.”
Yoon’s voice trembled. How cruel it must be to be abandoned. For a powerless child, it was a matter of survival.
“If it’s about being abandoned, then it shouldn’t be. I’ll save that hedgehog. But!”
Kang Hyun paused.
“Yes?”
“You see.”
“……”
Kang Hyun turned his head and stared into her eyes.
“You save me.”
Kang Hyun winked.
Shortly after, Kang Hyun’s car slid into the apartment parking lot.
As Yoon was about to enter her room, Kang Hyun grabbed her arm.
“Go wash up.”
“Huh?”
Yoon jumped.
“Don’t be surprised. Come to the study. You’ll study, and I’ll read my script.”
“Oh…… yes.”
Yoon opened the door, walked in, placed her bag on the desk, and sat down. She suddenly felt weak in the knees.
‘What should I
Suddenly, Yoon, remembering her kiss with Kang Hyun, covered her flushed cheeks with both hands. He had been forceful, but then in a moment, he became as soft and sweet as cotton candy.
More than anything, she enjoyed the warm feeling of being in his embrace. She liked when he stroked her head, and when he comforted her by patting her back. She found herself continually wanting to lean on him.
Holding his big, warm hand made her fears disappear.
‘I shouldn’t like him this much.’
Yoon feared getting hurt. She had been hurt just a few months ago when Young Hoon, who was like a brother and a good senior to her, announced their breakup.
If that happened with Kang Hyun, Yoon would surely be hurt beyond any comparison to Young Hoon.
‘What if something happens with Kang Hyun, what will I do?’
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.”
