Chapter-12

"What do you mean he's not your real brother?" Heeseung asked.

"Ni-ki is just my stepbrother. We're not blood-related." Sunghoon told him.

Heeseung shook his head, trying to gather up his thoughts, "Wait, I'm confused."

"You see... Ni-ki— well, his dad, is the reason why my father is still alive. When I was around 4, my father travelled to japan for some business stuff. There, he met Ni-ki's dad, uncle. Ni-ki never had any mother, so his only family was his dad. They lived a very simple life before, his dad was only working peacefully at a factory."

"Well, how did the two get associated with each other then?" He asked.

"Uncle was also a taxi driver. When my father was on his way to a meeting, his car malfunctioned, and that's when he met him, who offered to give him a ride to prevent my father from getting late."

"So...they got into an accident?"

Sunghoon shook his head, "No. They arrived peacefully at my father's meeting. However, hours later, when my father was merely crossing the street, it happened."

"What did?"

"A drunk driver seems to be very unconscious of his surroundings. The stoplight indicated red, yet he wasn't paying attention. My father was crossing the street during that time, and luckily, the same taxi driver,Ni-ki's dad, was there. He noticed the drunk driver even before they reached the stoplight. Once his eyes landed on my father, he knew an accident would happen."

"What... what did he do then?"

Sunghoon let out a deep breath from his nose, "He took the initiative to bump his car with the drunk driver's car to prevent him from running over my father."

"W-what?"

"My father lived... but unfortunately, uncle died."

Heeseung's eyes were widened, not able to process everything. "T-that's—"

"Tragic, should I say?"

They turned their heads to the left, meeting with the eyes of Sunghoon's brother.

Sunghoon gave him a smile, "Ni-ki."

"Indeed, I am not a real son of the Park family. I'm just an adopted child." Ni-ki said.

Sunghoon pouted, "ni-ki~"

Ni-ki chuckled, approaching Sunghoon and ruffling his hair, "It's fine, Sunghoon hyung." He then turned to Heeseung, "Sunghoon's father— well, father blamed himself for my dad's death, especially the fact that he knew my dad was a good man. He felt even more guilty when he knew he had a son, which was me."

"So that's why..."

"He took me into the family." Ni-ki said. He then turned to head Sunghoon's direction, giving him a smile, "And I still remember the day I met my brother."

**FLASHBACK**

"Mother! Mother! When is father gonna come back?" Sunghoon asked, he kept on nagging her for some time now.

His mother wasn't calm either, she kept on walking back and forth, worrying since she got the news of her husband almost getting into an accident.

"He'll be around here soon, son. His flight was early in the morning." She then turned to her son again, remembering what his husband had told him few days ago. She crouched down the floor to meet his son's eye level, 

"Sunghoon, you told us you wanted a sibling right?"

Sunghoon's eyes lit up, nodding, "Yes! I desperately want one! It's so boring here in this mansion! Mother and father are always at work, and I only get to see Jungwonie during summer!"
