Chapter 50: It Was You, Jongseok-hyung
"What?"
Son Suhyeon couldn’t believe what he’d just heard. For a moment, he couldn’t even comprehend what the guy in front of him had just said.
The one who barged in and grabbed Ha Giyeon was none other than the infamous Ha Dohoon—practically a legend at school. And to Son Suhyeon, the kind of person he wanted to avoid at all costs. Yet here he was, dragging his entourage along with him into the library.
Fine, so what if it was a library. Even during club hours, students were allowed to check out books. But that guy hadn’t shown the slightest interest in any of the books. He’d stormed straight over to Giyeon and grabbed him—roughly, violently.
What’s more, the arm Dohoon had grabbed was the same one where Giyeon had once had bruises. The moment Suhyeon saw it, he shot to his feet. And when Dohoon tried to drag Giyeon out, Suhyeon instinctively seized his other arm.
Normally, he would’ve avoided attention, slipped away, ignored it. But this situation was different. Someone was laying hands on Giyeon right in front of him. The sudden rise of disgust and anger made Suhyeon hold on and not let go.
And then—he heard it.
Hyung...?
Ha Dohoon had said he was Giyeon’s hyung. There were plenty of reasons someone might call someone else “hyung,” even without a blood connection. But this didn’t feel like that. Especially now—thinking about it again—Ha Dohoon and Ha Giyeon. The same last name.
Son Suhyeon was forced to recall the word he hated most.
Brothers?
He was usually sharp, quick to assess and adapt to any situation. But this time, his judgment was slow. Or maybe he simply didn’t want to acknowledge it.
