She gave him money to buy lunch, but whether he actually bought and ate anything was unknown to her. She didn’t know what he did during the day when she was not around, and she didn’t want to care either.
After a few days, Seungju started to notice and gradually stopped trying to talk to her. When he handed her the umbrella that morning, it must have been a brave attempt on his part, but she ignored it and left.
“What should I do?”
Eunseo bit her lip on the bus.
It was unbearably awkward and uncomfortable, but Seungju remained gentle and nice, no matter how coldly she treated him. But she couldn’t bring herself to treat him differently, as she still saw Seungju’s face.
As she was lost in her thoughts on her way to work, she noticed someone emanating an aura of darkness walking towards her in the hallway. It was Seuna.
Seuna approached Eunseo with a look of utter despair.
“Did you see the notice? Seungju is taking a medical leave!”
It seemed the instructions Seungju had given over the phone to the secretarial office had finally been announced.
“It says it’s for recuperation due to injury, but what and how badly was he hurt? Was it a traffic accident?”
Seuna was fretting.
“He shouldn’t be away for too long. If they find any weaknesses, that damned chairman will push his second son!”
The chairman was now referred to as ‘that damned chairman.’
Strictly speaking, being absent due to injury wasn’t great either. Eunseo knew this, but amnesia and regressing to an eighteen-year-old state was far worse. If that got out, he’d lose his successor position immediately. Once the position was taken away, it would be impossible to regain it later, even if his memory returned. So, this was the best course of action for now.
“Our Seungju worked so hard, it’s heartbreaking.”
Seuna genuinely seemed worried, even showing tears. Eunseo, surprised by this, unintentionally remarked,
“But the president didn’t really do anything special for Seuna, did he?”
“What are you talking about?”
Seuna jumped up and repeated the story Eunseo had heard a million times before.
It was about two years ago when Seungju took the president’s seat. Seuna, who was just about to join the company at that time, boldly attended the shareholders’ meeting as a major shareholder and shouted when the appointment of the president was brought up.
“Kwon Seungju, if not for you, this company has no future!”
“Dragged out as if I were a professional protester. At that moment, Seungju stopped the employees from dragging me out and instructed his secretary to hail me a taxi.”
Seuna claimed,
“He definitely mouthed ‘thank you’ to me from a distance!”
If true, it was indeed a momentous episode, but to Eunseo, it just didn’t seem like something Seungju would do.
However, Seuna’s belief was unshakeable.
“Our Seungju, he may seem cold, but he’s a warm-hearted person.”
Eunseo suddenly became curious. What would Seungju say if he knew he had such a sincere fan like Seuna? She didn’t really want to talk to him, but she felt she needed to convey Seuna’s fandom.
“If only I knew which hospital he’s in, I’d send flowers…” Seuna sighed.
Regrettably, Eunseo couldn’t tell her fan about Seungju’s current situation.
So, she silently apologized in her mind. Sorry, Seuna.
As predicted, a shower hit on her way home from work. She had refused the umbrella Seungju offered in the morning, but thanks to his warning, she had brought one from the office, saving herself from getting drenched like a drowned rat.
After getting off the bus, she bought two lunch boxes for Seungju, avoiding puddles as she made her way home. Near the gate, she noticed a young man in a suit loitering.
“Who are you?”
Instead of answering, the man asked back.
“Do you live here?”
“Yes, why?”
Eunseo’s obvious wariness prompted the stranger to identify himself.
“I’m from Daewon Group’s headquarters.”
At the mention of the head office, Eunseo’s breath hitched.
“You’re from Daewon Construction, right? Do you have any contact with President Kwon Seungju?”
“Why are you asking me that?”
“He called to cancel the demolition. Suddenly calling off the demolition, and the call coming from Yeonsa-dong made us wonder if you might know something.”
Eunseo’s heart felt like it was about to leap out. She had managed to lie fairly calmly at the secretarial office a few days ago, but it was a different matter in front of her own house. The very Kwon Seungju in question was inside.
She feigned calmness with all her might.
“Does the president have some connection with this house?”
She knew full well but asked anyway. The man’s expression wavered slightly.
“Maybe he changed his mind after visiting here one last time before the demolition. That’s why he called to cancel it. Isn’t that possible?”
After presenting a plausible hypothesis, Eunseo sighed.
“The president’s office asked me the same thing. I’m just a powerless tenant, whether it’s demolished or canceled, I have to follow along. It’s difficult for me when you keep asking.”
“…”
“Why is everyone making such a fuss? Didn’t the president take sick leave? What’s going on?”
Pushing back with her own questions, the man flinched. Eventually, he bowed to Eunseo and turned to leave.
“I apologize for the intrusion.”
Eunseo let out a heavy sigh of relief and fumbled for her keys. Her hands were shaking as she struggled to unlock the gate. Just then, a familiar voice called out from inside.
“Nuna, you’re back?”
The sound of retreating footsteps outside halted abruptly.
Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.
Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.
Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
