The silence filled the study.
Returning home, Sun Woo had been sitting there for dozens of minutes, aimlessly spinning his pen on top of the stacked papers on his desk.
On his desk, closer to the papers, lay a marriage registration form, on which nothing had been written yet.
Looking blankly at the calendar on his desk, he counted the days to the day he had promised with his grandfather with his fingers.
Two days had already passed doing nothing.
He regretted impulsively pushing forward the day he was to return to his family home by a week. If he hadn’t done so, he would have raised further suspicion.
They say that people’s judgement becomes cloudy when they are cornered. Little did I know I’d be the one to experience it.
It was a matter of urgency. So, he was going to tell her today.
Sun Woo, supporting his forehead with his hand, wore a gloomy expression.
“What’s so hard?”
Just one sentence saying it just happened should do it.
If it were any other time, he would have pressured her, harping on about the contract. All the tasks that had been easy when he only saw her as the subject of the contract suddenly became difficult, one by one.
“Sigh…”
A sigh escaped naturally. He had to quickly read the paper, but he just couldn’t concentrate. It seemed like the marriage registration form he’d picked up to quickly get it out of his sight was the root of the problem.
He laughed.
When he had confidently declared war to his grandfather and brought the marriage registration form, he hadn’t written a single character and was hesitating.
It was a problem he hadn’t thought about at all. Until he brought Eun Jae into his house, he certainly thought he was a very rational person.
But then Ji Eun Jae started to look like a woman.
“That’s ridiculous.”
He laughed at himself, who was worrying even though he had no intention of giving her the rice cake.
“Don’t mix useless emotions, it’s just a oneyear contract.” It had only been a few weeks since he had asserted that with a high nose.
“He really does everything.”
Somehow he held her hand, even cuddled her, is it getting confusing now?
Even celebrities, when they get too immersed in their roles, can mistake it for actually liking their partner.
“Yeah, it’s a delusion.”
How can a fake feeling become real?
“In a year, we have to go back to where we were.”
Whether it’s me or you.
After denying the fact that had already been revealed, Sun Woo, who felt relatively relieved, started to fill out the marriage registration form without hesitation.
It was a real rush. The tasks poured out.
There was only a month left, and he tried to do everything that others do.
Eun Jae, who had been sitting in a café for 30 minutes, listening to an explanation she couldn’t understand, had blurry eyes. She just stared blankly at the documents scattered on the table.
“A Studio is famous for its lovely yet casual photos, and B Studio is a hot studio with a Hanok background. C Studio is a studio many people look for because of its modern atmosphere, though the overall mood is heavy. Do you have a place you like?”
“……”
“Bride?”
Eun Jae, who felt it couldn’t go on like this, brought up something she should have said long ago with an awkward expression.
“I’m really sorry, planner, but can I discuss it a little more and then decide?”
Although it was a onesidedly fixed appointment, she thought it was something she had to do, so she was listening.
But the more she listened, the stronger she felt that this wasn’t right. She thought this was the fastest time to turn back.
When she politely expressed her thoughts, the planner comforted Eun Jae, saying it was okay, she could do that. She had been a planner for 10 years, and the experience indeed made a difference.
As she gathered the scattered documents, she spoke as if she was disappointed.
“It would be great if the groomtobe could look at these together, but he seems to be very busy.”
Groom. When would that title become familiar, or would it ever?
It was a word she had heard over twenty times today alone.
With an awkward expression, Eun Jae nodded her head, bid farewell to the planner, and returned home.
She had listened to the explanation, but she could not remember anything she had heard.
She thought she would become a couple just by holding a ceremony at the wedding hall, but she had underestimated the process.
Rubbing her stiff neck, Eun Jae walked into the bathroom.
She wanted to get into the warm water and relax.
Eun Jae, who was having dinner, subtly looked around.
She had made a fuss about deciding on the SDeMe during the day, but the man was quiet for some reason.
Eun Jae studied the man’s expression as she put a piece of seasoned beans into her mouth. The salty taste spread out, and as the savory taste of the beans rose, she asked the man.
“Do you know what SDeMe is?”
“What is that?”
The man answered with an indifferent expression, as if it were someone else’s business.
He passed everything onto her with the excuse of being busy, but he didn’t even properly listen to the story.
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.”
