Asta: "blushing" Oh shut up "looks away"

Sung jin woo: "laughs" I'm just kidding, but I don't mind being an uncle "smiles"

"Asta keeps blushing while his brother is laughing his ass off. After a few minutes of laughter" 

Sung jin woo: Asta, sorry for teasing you like that "smiles"

Asta: It's okay *I'm glad to see his happy* "smiles"

Sung jin woo: So what happen?

Asta: Happen?

Sung jin woo: you know....the fact that you have a girlfriend! now tell me the details!

Asta: *It's like his a different person* Ok ok just calm down

"Asta summarize what he did (A/N - He didn't include what they said to each other during the confession)"

Sung jin woo: "smirks" Now that's a confession, but.... "tears began to form"

Asta: What's wrong? 

Sung jin woo: It's just.... "more tears began to form"

Asta: just?

Sung jin woo: "crying anime tears" My little brother is growing up so fast! Now he has a girlfriend! I'm so proud! 

Asta: "blinks then facepalms" *Are we really related?* 

Sung jin woo: "cleans his tears" Sorry about that, but I mean what I said, about being proud of you "smiles"

Asta: Thanks "smiles" 

"They talked about random things"

Sung jin woo: How's training?

Asta: Going good, I'm a lot faster and stronger now, but It's not enough

Sung jin woo: Don't overwork yourself, It can make you distant towards the people you love "looks down" Don't follow the mistake I did

Asta: 'concerned' Did something happen?

Sung jin woo: When I was your age, I was just like you, determined to be stronger to protect everyone, but.... what I didn't realize is that I was slowly being distant towards the people I love, a friend of mine....died...because I was too busy training I didn't notice that he was in trouble, he was calling using his communication device but....I didn't even respond....a day past and someone found his....body...with so many wounds. When I looked at his wounds, I noticed some markings, I realize what killed him.... a Devil. Devils already appear back then, I encountered a few, I always notice markings on their body that's why the moment I saw the markings on my friend, I already know it's a devil. They always have the same markings on their body that's why it's easy to spot one "tears starts to form"

"Asta's eyes widen"

Sung jin woo: Since that day, I wanted revenge, I search the forest everyday to find the devil that killed him. I kept looking, then one day...that faithful day, I found the devil that killed him, I knew that was the one who killed him because I can see the markings on his arms, I immediately dash towards him, I used my daggers to slash him without a hint of mercy then the devil died when I slash his heart, I noticed he was disappearing into particles, I was blinded by rage, I kept punching its face into nothingness....After it disappear, I was covered in blood, I wobbly walked towards the village and I saw Cha Hae-in, she ran to me and hugged me like her life depends on it, I hugged her tightly, my eyes crying like a waterfall. After a while, We both let go, she asked me what happened, I told her the entire thing, I was expecting her to be scared of me, but I was suprised she hugged me again, she told me why didn't I told her or our parents about my revenge, I didn't answer, because to be honest, I don't know why I didn't. I was too blinded by rage I forgot, I explained it to her and she made me promise to never do this again, I kept my promise. Since that day, I only train in my free time and spend the rest with our parents or with Cha Hae-in. I lost myself because of revenge... and "He looked at Asta" promise me, don't follow the path I walked on, okay? if a day comes where you lost something or someone precious, don't keep it to yourself, share it to your friends and family. They are there for a reason, that's why let them help you, okay? "cleans his tears"
