Due to a sudden car accident, Shi-hyuk lost his parents.
All that was left was a small inheritance and the life insurance payout.
And his younger brother, Si-ha, who was twenty years younger than him.
“Ah…”
His little brother, who could say nothing else while looking at him.
At the funeral, surrounded by family whispering about the two of them.
“What are they going to do?” “Who’s going to take them in?”
“Goodness. He’s just a college student—how can he raise such a young kid?”
“Did they say he has insurance money?”
“Our family could take them in, but our kids are still young and get attached easily…”
In the middle of all that commotion, Si-ha opened his mouth.
“Hyung-ah. Hyung-ah. Uwaah!”
The first clearly pronounced words out of Si-ha’s mouth.
Hyung-ah.
Not dad, not mom, but hyung-ah.
Shi-hyuk slowly approached and held Si-ha in his arms.
I’ll protect you.
With that emotion in his heart, he held him a little tighter…
A little more carefully…
