When the orphaned Jeonghan was taken in by the Lady of the Choi household, his dreams of having a family were fulfilled. However, Jeonghan found himself rejected by the Lady's three handsome sons, and it was made very clear to him that he was nothin...
"That's weird.." said Mrs. Choi when she looked at the clock and finds out that it's already night. "Why isn't Jeonghan home yet?"
She took her phone and tried to call Jeonghan but was connected straight to voicemail. She furrowed her eyebrows and said, "His cell isn't turned on either. Did something happen? He never stayed out this late before."
He faced her son, Seungcheol and yelled, "It's all you boys' fault he left the house looking so upset this morning!"
"I can't let this continue. Seungcheol, go out and look for Jeonghan." She demanded, crossing her arms over her chest.
"How should I know where he is?" Seungcheol protested.
"It doesn't matter. Just look around nearby if you have to."
"What are you so worried about? It's not like he ran away or something. Eventually, he'll get hungry and crawl back on his own." He said lazily and leaned back against the couch.
"What did you say?!" screamed Mrs. Choi, making Seungcheol abruptly sat up.
"Choi Sungcheol!" Mrs. Choi approached him and pinched him hard on his cheek from behind. "You miss my punishments, don't you?" She said in a low, threatening voice.
Seungcheol struggled trying to escape, but she was stronger than he expected. So he eventually gave up, "O-okay, okay! I get it..."
"Omma! I'll go, I'll go! Stooooop!!"
...
"Sheeesh! I'm already at this age and she still treats me like a little child." He sighed, walking aimlessly in the dark night with only the moonlight lighting the alley.
"But anyway, where should I go look for Jeonghan?" He scratched the back of his head. "What a pain in the ass."
Seungcheol was walking everywhere, looking for Jeonghan for thirty minutes. He was about to turned around when he saw a park and Jeonghan was sitting on the swing, looking lonely. His head was down and his feet were playing with the sand below him.
"So there you are."
Startled, Jeonghan looked up and saw Seungcheol. "What's the matter with you? Why aren't you home when it's this late? And if you were planning on coming home late, you should have called. Why is you phone shut off?"
Seungcheol looked at Jeonghan and saw there was no expression on his face besides his utterly silence. He didn't even reply, his head keep looking down at the ground.
Casually, Seungcheol took a seat in the empty swing beside him and said, "Aren't you afraid of what can happen to you out alone at night? The neighborhood lately isn't as safe as you think it is."
After a moment of silence, Jeonghan replied, "It's not like I'm anyone to you anyway, so it's none of your business if I get hurt or kidnapped."
"What?" He asked kind of surprised by Jeonghan's answer.
"It doesn't matter if I'm home or not. No one would miss me."
"Are you upset because we were against your adoption?"
"When you, Jisoo and Mingyu would bully me, I don't mind it because I always thought you guys saw me as part of the family." Jeonghan paused, looking ahead then added, "When auntie brought up my adoption, I was really happy. But I never thought.."
Jeonghan stood up from the swing and shouted angrily in front of Seungcheol, "...All of you would hate me so much! What did I do to make everyone hate me so much?!" Then his eyes started to get teary, he tried to hold back but couldn't.
"Damn it!" Seungcheol cursed silently. "That's not it! How should I explain this.. It's because.."
Jeonghan looked confused. He was about to reply Seungcheol when suddenly Seungcheol grabbed his shoulder and kissed him on the lips.
Jeonghan's eyes instantly flew wide open and his tears suddenly stopped. His entire body yet his insides were completely frozen. He just stood there with Seungcheol's arm wrapped tightly around his petite waist and gently Seungcheol placed his hand behind Jeonghan's head. After a while, Seungcheol stopped the kiss when he noticed that Jeonghan suddenly has a hard time breathing.
They looked into each other's eyes for a moment. Jeonghan was still in complete shock. He couldn't think, couldn't speak, couldn't even move for several seconds. That was, until Seungcheol talked.
"It's because... I can't do that to you if you're my brother."
