A/n: let's have a look at Taehyun through the youngest Kang's eyes :)))))

"Hyung..." 

"Hmm?" Taehyun swiveled in the chair, turning his attention from the laptop to his youngest sibling who stood nervously by the door of the study room.

Noticing the troubled look on the young boy, Taehyun got up from his chair and approached him, bending down to meet his eye level with a comforting smile, "what's wrong?"

The action seemed to put the youngest off as he immediately scowled, "stop doing that. Don't treat me like a child, I'll definitely grow taller than you soon." 

"You just turned 12, Sieun. Not even a teenager yet" the older brother laughed and straightened his back before his expression changed to something more serious and strict, "so what is so important that you have to come here?"

The child panicked, gulping when he heard the change in his brother's tone. Among the Kang siblings, Taehyun was undoubtedly the scariest one. Not the first born, Hyunsoo, the always stressed emergency physician, or the second born and the only female child of the Kang family, Hayeon, practicing to become an orthopedic surgeon, or the fourth born, Jiwon, the playful and mischievous captain of his volleyball team, and definitely not the youngest born, Sieun, who had a soft heart. It was the middle child, Taehyun, the current appointed future leader of the Kang group. 

Kang Taehyun was the scariest. 

Because he excelled in everything. Because he could easily moderate his emotions. Because he was cold hearted. Because he was too smart. Because he was always bored. 

Because he was the only one who could watch everything and anything unfold before him without batting an eye. Because he had this intimidating aura that seemed permanent. Because he condemned emotional attachments, and could throw away anything, or anyone out of his life as easily as he could breathe. 

Because of everything that he is. Because he is Kang Taehyun. 

"I..." Sieun swallowed, unable to meet his older brother's eyes, "I want to go to the police academy... and become a detective." 

Silence followed right after, causing the young boy to sweat anxiously and regret ever coming to tell Taehyun about his dream as he stared down at the floor. Taehyun was clearly working on something before he had disturbed him, and Sieun knew that his older brother didn't like disruptions and people visiting his study room. But he had no choice, because if he didn't tell Taehyun now, then he could never find the same courage and guts to do so in the future.

"Why?" was Taehyun's first word to him. 

Just one word. Simple as that yet terrifying and nerve wrecking to Sieun.

"B-because I like investigating... and I'm told that I'm very observant. It's something I'm really interested in" he spoke in a timid voice that slowly faded away at the end. 

"I see."

"Hyung-" 

"Is that your dream?"

"Yes..." Sieun answered with his head hung low, "I'm so-"
