My Brother's Girlfriend || Kang Daniel

Shattered

Daniel's been sitting in his living room with a bottle of beer in one hand and his phone in the other hand for an hour now, scrolling through pictures of Sayoung and deleting each and every one of them so he wouldn't be reminded of her every single second. It's been almost a whole week since he's talked to her and he felt like a drug addict suffering from withdrawal. Nothing felt right... food tasted bland, laughter from other people sounded like mockery, the world was in black and white. He missed her in ways he never knew one could miss a person. Suddenly, Daniel's quiet state was interrupted by the sound of the front door swinging open aggressively, slamming into the wall behind it and created a huge dent as the result.

"Hyung..." Daniel greeted his brother cautiously, who was still standing at the entrance of the door and staring at him with such hatred and resentment in his eyes that Daniel questioned whether the person standing in front of him was actually his brother. He's never seen that look on Minhyun's face before.

"Are you in love with Sayoung?" Minhyun glared at him, clenching his fists.

"Hyung..." Daniel uttered once more, not knowing how to answer him since he was so caught off guard by the sudden question. Daniel always thought that if Minhyun ever asked him this question, he'd look at him and lie to his face, however, now that it became reality, he realized lying to him was a lot harder than he thought.

Daniel's inability to answer the question only made Minhyun even more upset as he walked over to Daniel and grabbed him by the collar "answer my fucking question, I said, are you in love with Sayoung?"

"Yes..." Daniel admitted, unable to stick to his plan. He stared at the ground, too ashamed to look at his brother in the eyes. "I'm sorry..." he apologized, not realizing his apology did the opposite of calming Minhyun down... no, it made him even angrier. The fact that Daniel apologized meant he knew what he did was wrong. The fact that he apologized meant this whole thing was actually happening. The fact that he apologized meant he admitted to betraying Minhyun. Seeing only red, Minhyun swiftly landed a punched in Daniel's face, knocking him down to the floor.

"I trusted you!" Minhyun shouted said as he got on top of Daniel and landed another punch, this time even harder. "365 days in a year, for 3 years, that's 1,095 days. You had over 1,095 days to tell me the truth about your feelings for Sayoung, and yet you never did!" Minhyun continued to lay down punches after punches, not even caring where the punches were landing. He just wanted to hit him as hard and much as he could, each punch representing a day that Daniel lied to him. Minhyun was so full of rage he didn't even realize that Daniel was laying there, completely covered in blood, and he would've kept going if it wasn't for Sayoung interference.

"Stop... you're going to kill him" she pleaded as she held onto his fist. Sayoung had heard the loud noises from her apartment and went over to make sure that everything was ok.

"You..." Minhyun snarled "you caused all of this" he glared at her with disdain in his eyes.

"Then hit me" Sayoung cried, still holding onto Minhyun's fist.

And as much as Minhyun did want to hit her, to hurt the girl who broke his heart, he couldn't. He still loved her and seeing her tears broke his heart. Minhyun then looked down at Daniel, the brother who was also so dear to his heart, laying there in a puddle of his own blood while still looking at Minhyun with apologetic eyes. Minhyun lowered his fist as he looked at the two people who he both loved and hated.

"Congratulations, I won't be in your way any longer. You two can be together now" with that, Minhyun marched into his room and began packing his stuff in a haste, he needed to get out of the apartment and as far away from them as possible.

"Are you ok?" Sayoung asked as she rushed to Daniel's side to help him up once Minhyun disappeared into his room. She used her sleeve to wipe away the bloods, only to find that Minhyun's punches have caused a huge cut on Daniel's lips and forehead, as well as swollen one of his eyes shut. "This is all my fault" she muttered.
