My Annoying Brother

21

21.

Seung Kwan takes me to meet my brother in the evening.

Does Seung Kwan know, Vernon also lives around here. I think we should go and meet him as well since we are already here. I think we should go to his house before going to meet my brother. Vernon will be so excited. Seung Kwan didn't reply. He kept walking.

We stop in front of Vernon's house. I get so excited. So, we are going to invite him too? But how does Seung Kwan know Vernon's address? He never came here. Vernon opens the door. He looks so confused, "What are you doing here at this time? And why is Seung Kwan with you?"

I need to tell-

"I told her everything," Seung Kwan says without letting me finish my sentence.

So, Vernon also knows? Does that mean everyone except me knows?

Vernon looks so shocked.

" Vernon is your brother."

I'm even more shocked. But I get over the phase soon. At least Vernon honestly told me one thing, he is an orphan and lives with his uncle and aunt. No actually. Basically, he never lied. He only hid the fact that we are siblings. Min Gyu also knows. Vernon and I didn't become friends by chance. He wanted to protect me as my friend. He wanted to be around me. He wanted to be with me, but our aunt made him promise not to tell me the truth ever.

It's not like mom, dad, my brothers or Vernon planned not to tell me anything ever. They had made a decision. After Vernon and I become legally adults they would tell me everything honestly from the beginning and register my name back to my family's register. But unfortunately, Seung Kwan told me everything already.

" But why did you tell her?" Vernon asks.

Seung Kwan looks towards me. Even if I hadn't found out that Vernon is my brother still, I would talk about the whole Lee Chan situation to my best friend Vernon. I told him everything. And I literally didn't expect him to react like that. I guess I might know my friend Vernon, but I still don't know my brother Vernon. Seung Kwan was having a real hard time calming him down.

So, Seung Kwan, Vernon and I decided to keep quiet about this incident for now. And what I wanted now was to confront dad and ask him about all this. I don't want to hide the fact that I know they hid the fact of me being adopted from me. I wanted them to know that I know. So that they can feel a little bit lighter.
