I'm Bang Yong Guk

I was sitting and looking at a person sitting on the floor with my back against the wall. His face lifted to look at the ceiling and he tried to hold back more tears. I don't know if it's because the room is too small and quiet. The little person's sobbing could be heard throughout the room like this. If someone walks by Must think that I did something bad to another person.

vigorous..

gulp

vigorous..

Huh?

The more you stop, the more you hold back, the more tears flow. It was normal for people, so he chose to just sit and watch. Even though my heart wants to hug you tightly Wiping away the tears that were all over his face But if you comfort me, you'll cry even harder than before. If that's the case It would probably be him who would be the one hurt the most.

Damn it, he didn't want to have to sit and look at a scene like this. This isn't the first time. who encountered this kind of situation Every time, Yongguk had to sit and restrain himself from doing anything rash. Don't allow yourself to do anything that will cause the other person to suffer or feel even worse.

2 hours earlier

'Is anything up'

'Huh.. Huh.. Come.. Huh....'

You hardly have to wait for the other person to finish speaking. Immediately my legs came running out of the office. My brain knew exactly what was happening. and can guess where the other party might be right now. Which I expected was not wrong. When I arrived at my 'regular', I saw the image that I had often seen over and over. It's like déjà vu overlaying reality.

A picture of a man sitting with his knees hugged in front of the room door. His face was covered with tear stains and tears flowing from the same pair of red, bruised eyes.

'Daehyun...'

When the other party heard the sound I called, he raised his head. I looked into those trembling eyes with an unhappy heart. Daehyun tried to stand up and slowly walked towards me. before throwing himself into a hug Then he buried his face in my chest and cried. Actually, it's a good thing. Receiving a hug from this person

But it must not be in this situation. It must not be because the other party is sad. I couldn't do anything but let him hug me like that. Until the person in his arms seemed to have calmed down and was then led into the room.

After entering the room, the other party threw himself onto the floor in the corner of the room. My eyes kept staring at the ceiling and crying for almost 2 hours. Even though there were no tears now. But he still sat there like that. Look at the uniforms the students are still wearing. It means that after studying, they should come and meet me.

"I'm tired."

First words since we met today It came out of the other person's mouth weakly and softly. Sure enough, he cried for hours like that. How good would it be to not pass out?

"I'm tired, that's enough."

"I can't do it."

“I understand, but this has happened many times before, Daehyun.”

"I know"

'I can't keep looking at you like this.'

Even though I want to speak, it's probably better to keep quiet.

"Why does he have to do this?"

'Because it's not as serious as you think.'

"Why did he change like this?"

'Because it wasn't from the beginning.

"Why does he have to hurt me again?"

'Because he doesn't need you that much'

"You don't have to say it."

"What should I do next?"

"Get some sleep. You should get some sleep."

"If he was worried about me like you were, that would be good."

The small figure closed his eyes easily. But he didn't move to sleep on the mattress. Instead, he sat with his knees raised in the corner of the room as before. steady breathing sound Makes you know that the other party is probably asleep. The tall man walked over and picked up a blanket to cover with him. Slender fingers reached out and brushed away the stray hair. His eyes studied the other's sleeping face.

Red, bruised eyelids that are expected to be swollen tomorrow A nose that was rubbed until it turned pink. The more I looked, the angrier I became at myself for letting something like this happen. While the emotions were simmering and the thoughts There was a phone call coming in. The cause that caused this matter was itself.

"How do you take it?"

"If you say this, does that mean Daehyun is with you?"

"I'm asking how you want it."

"Come out and talk."

"location"

"Public Park, Block 3"

It was now nearly 1 a.m. There were hardly any people left in the park. He used his eyes to look around. Before seeing the person you're dating In a black leather jacket and faded, ripped jeans. Leaning on a motorcycle, smoking a cigarette. When he saw that I had arrived, he put out his cigarette and walked towards me.

"Come quickly."

"How do you take it?"

"Say it in one word?"

“How long are you going to do this? If you don't have feelings for Daehyun I let him go."

"Let me release him. So that you can insert it yourself?”

I stayed silent and didn't answer. He probably already knew that I liked, no, I loved Daehyun, my boyfriend for a long time. Before the two of them even met..

"I didn't say anything."

"If you like it, I'll take it."

"Why are you talking like this?!"

I can't control my emotions anymore. The fist in his hand shot straight into the other's face without warning. Until the other party staggered and almost fell. A slight surprise appeared on his face. But he let out a cold smile.

"You dare to fight me now?"

"If you don't stop your bitch mouth, This time I will stomp on you instead.”

"Huh."

"From now on, stop bothering. Stop contacting Daehyun. You don't have to let him see you again."

“Okay, do you think I can hold him back? Do you think I'm holding him back? I didn't ask him to stay. I let him go a long time ago. But the person who's gone and stuck himself next to me is Daehyun himself. Why don't you go and tell your beloved to stop pestering me once and for all? I'm bored to death.."

plunging

"Go die, you bastard!"

Husband

Before the other party had finished speaking My long legs shot up to the center of his chest. Plus a heavy fist. Look at his handsome face 2 more times. Of course, he won't tolerate me pressing him alone. The other person punched back, hitting me squarely in the face. Each side punched each other back and forth. Until I started to run out of energy and lay down on the floor.

Without even caring if someone walked by or if they would take advantage of this moment to get back at me. Instead of fighting The other party lay down on the bench. Close your eyes quietly and don't say anything.

"He really loves you, Daehyun."

"You were his first love."

He didn't answer or even open his eyes. Hell, I wasn't paying any attention. I lifted the watch, hoping to see what time it was. But the needle has stopped moving. It would probably break when they fought.

"Come lie down here, in this condition, people will think you're dead. Go home."

I said as I got up. Dust off your body. But the other person still didn't say anything. Lying there with his hand on his forehead, still, never mind, he'll get up and go home by himself. I don't even need to be worried. But when Yongguk was about to walk back There was a voice from the person lying down calling out.

"you"

"Why don't you tell him the 'truth'?"

The person being questioned was a bit stunned, stopped his steps, didn't continue walking, but didn't answer. The person who was lying down got up and continued:

"If you tell the truth from the beginning Things probably wouldn't be like this.”

“If you repent and want to tell the truth. It's still time now."

"I'll back off myself."

"I'm telling you this because I hope for the best."

I came back to my room at almost 4 am. It's not that the distance is too far or that I've wandered off somewhere. I'm just looking for a place to think about the questions I've asked.

The room was completely dark inside. The person who used to be in the corner of the room is still the same. The morning he woke up What should I do? Telling the truth that has been hidden for a long time Or let it continue like this? It's not yet time to think about anything else. The other party had already woken up.

Daehyun moved because he was tired from sitting in the same position all night. No matter how much you want to open your eyes But he couldn't lift his dazed eyelids. Daehyun felt angry at himself. Who kept crying until his eyes were swollen like this When I think about it, tears begin to flow again.

"Are you going to cry when you wake up?"

Even though I couldn't see his face, I knew who it was. His low, emotionless voice was definitely Bang Yongguk, the owner of the room he had temporarily borrowed.

"Where have you been?"

"go for a walk"

I don't know if it was lucky or not that Daehyun's eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open them. So I couldn't see any bruises on his face. Otherwise, you might be questioned until you can't answer correctly.

After Daehyun woke up I got up to go to the bathroom and came back to sit on the mattress quietly until the sky was bright. I sat and watched for a long time. So I decided to ask the question.

"Are you.. feeling better?"

"Well, it's better than the first time."

"Why.. do you have to give in like this?"

"Why do you love that person so much?"

"It looks funny, bro."

Daehyun spoke in a more comfortable tone. He always seemed happy when talking about the people he loved. about his love story

“At that time I walked home alone. On the way, he met an old man who was being bullied. But I'm just this big, what am I going to fight for? I can't do anything at all."

“I walked up to that grandma. and said to the gangsters, Let Grandma go. Whatever you guys want, I'll give it to you."

“Grandma tugged on my sleeve several times. I turned to console him and said, nevermind But Grandma was shaking very much. When I turned around, those thugs were already holding knives.”

“I was very afraid. If I was alone, I might be able to survive. But I probably won't be able to carry Grandma away."

"That's when he came in."

“Even though I only saw his back, I remember him clearly. His hair was pitch black and his back was straight. Tall but strong and thin My heart skipped a beat from then on.”

“I fell in love with him from that moment. Bang Yong Nam's twin brother."

After that, Daehyun fell asleep again. I arranged for him to sleep in the most comfortable position. Cover him with a blanket because the weather is still cool. I looked at Daehyun again. Before deciding to send a message to the person who asked the question for me.

'Let it be like this -Yongguk'

The next morning, Bang Yongnam came to my room. The two of them went out and talked for almost an hour to improve their understanding. While talking Daehyun made a face that looked like he was about to cry several times. But he returned to his normal face. Until the end, he hugged the other person until he sunk into that person's embrace. I closed the curtains and sighed, thinking.

Let it be like this.'

After that, Daehyun came back to get his things and said that he had reconciled with Yongnam. With a face that was smiling until his eyes narrowed Changed into a different person from last night I walked out and dropped them both off. Daehyun walked first to the motorcycle. Only me and Yongnam were left walking behind.

"Are you sure it's okay?"

"If Daehyun is okay, I'm okay."

"You're here."

“Take good care of Daehyun. Don't let him cry again."

"um"

"If there is another time I won't let it go anymore."

"If it gets to that time I'm ready to retreat for you as well."

I stood and watched them both until the car drove as far as I could see before I walked back into the room. During that time, the phone had an incoming message notification signal.

'Thank you for taking care of me last night. I love you, my good brother. -Daehyun'

That's right, I'm just Daehyun's good older brother. That's enough. The person who can truly love and care for Daehyun has to be Bang Yong Nam.

I'm just a copy of Yongnam. who seems to be able to take care of Daehyun when he's weak But it's not the real one. In the end, the person Daehyun gave his heart to was my brother.

Even though the person who helped Daehyun that night was me...
