Chapter 83: Suhyeon-ie Hyung
The reason for the scar on Ha Giyeon’s forehead was simple. Of course—it was because of Ha Dohoon.
Even so, Giyeon didn’t blame him. He said it was a misunderstanding, that they were just kids, and tried to excuse it—maybe still wanting to protect Dohoon because he was his brother. But Son Suhyeon couldn’t accept that. What did it matter if it was a misunderstanding, or if they were young? Did that erase the injury Giyeon had suffered in that moment?
Suhyeon was certain: even if Ha Dohoon had come to understand the truth later, he had never once apologized to Giyeon. There’d been no mention of any apology or of clearing up the misunderstanding. Maybe he still believed it had happened the way he thought.
A fountain pen. How could something so trivial be enough to justify a wound that left a scar on Giyeon’s forehead? With Giyeon’s personality, he would’ve insisted it wasn’t him until the end. And yet, Dohoon had been so sure—so sure that he resorted to violence.
Why did someone like Ha Dohoon have to be Giyeon’s brother? The thought of Giyeon living in that shadow made Suhyeon ache. If I were his brother... No matter what, I would’ve protected him. I would’ve cherished him, afraid he might get hurt, and stayed by his side to make sure he never suffered.
...It made his chest burn.
“Suhyeon sunbae?”
Hearing Giyeon’s worried voice, Suhyeon bit down hard on his lip. Giyeon was the one who had suffered so much and was still in pain—so why was he the one always worried about others? He was so precious, it was terrifying to even touch him. And yet that guy—
He knew. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t sever the bond between ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) Giyeon and Dohoon, nor could he truly stand beside him as a real older brother by blood.
So maybe... just this much—maybe he could be selfish.
“Don’t call me sunbae anymore... Call me hyung.”
“...Huh? Hyung?”
