I Became the Male Lead's wicked Step-brother

Chapter 10

Suddenly, I remembered how happy Choi Do-yoon was when the female protagonist in the original work praised him, affirmed him, and gave him love. I could vaguely understand why he cherished and supported Bae Ji-an as if she were the treasure of his life.

But isn't it unfair to make people so helpless from the start just to receive that sweet reward in the distant future? If Do-yoon had someone to rely on from the beginning, this innocent boy wouldn't have grown into such a cold-blooded robot-like chief.

I stared blankly at the leftover sandwiches on the tray, then spoke with all my strength in my body.

"But I'm not like that anymore."

Silence flowed. Only the lively idol songs blared loudly in the store. But after a while, Do-yoon spoke to me.

"Take this. I heard it's your favorite."

He said, pushing a half-Türkiye ham sandwich towards me.

"Huh? Huh... ."

It must have been tasteless. Did I fail at choosing the menu? Can I really become friends with Choi Do-yoon like this? I felt slightly disappointed and picked up the sandwich he pushed towards me. Do-yoon instead took half of the steak cheese sandwich in front of me.

"It's delicious."

I'm glad that it tastes good. I tried to pretend not to care and took a big bite of the sandwich. I could taste the rich and refreshing taste of the vegetables. The taste I had chewed on the set at dawn didn't change even after eating it in the novel. Franchises are great, after all. I laughed awkwardly.

"I know...."

But the more I chewed, the more it felt strange. Is this supposed to be this hot and spicy?

But at that moment, I suddenly felt hot as if my whole body was heating up. My eyes kept itching, so I pressed them with my hands, and when I looked at the back of my hands, they had turned bright red, as if I had been drinking.

"uh...?"

Feeling something strange, I unbuttoned my wrists and rolled up my sleeves. There was a red energy rising up on my arms that wasn't there before. Do-yoon was also surprised when he saw my arms and face.

"...Why are you like that?"

And at the same time he was talking to me, my chest tightened and I couldn't breathe. In the blink of an eye, my throat closed up and a gasp, a gasp, came out. The sandwich, which was almost leaking from my hand, fell to the floor.

"I can't breathe...."

Suddenly I can't rest. I feel like I'm going to die.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud thud and my vision went black.

I don't know what the hell happened. I lifted my heavy eyelids and this time there was a very familiar ceiling. I was in a VIP room in Seonjeong Hospital.

Above me, the doctor was looking at me with a serious expression. He frowned and spoke with a serious face.

"You have a severe allergy to cucumbers, and I don't know how you ended up eating them. Fortunately, the hospital was nearby. You could have been in serious trouble. Do-yoon did a great job handling it."

"Yes...?"

What? I blinked with a blank expression. What do you mean, I'm allergic to cucumbers, sir? The doctor said as I lay there with a look of incomprehension.

"For now, get some sleep while getting the IV, and I'll give you a day's worth of medicine, so please take it."

The doctor sighed and left. I was still dazed. Cucumber allergy? Suddenly?
