Knowing Brother-Chapter 62

After finishing his recollection, Choi Seol-woo dropped his phone and groaned. He couldn’t forget Won Dae-young’s unfamiliar gaze that scanned Choi Seol-woo’s body as if peeling off his outer layer. He got goosebumps every time he thought about it. He stared at the empty space where the Jenga tower had been for no reason.

He tried dating a girlfriend, going to a gay club, and trying in many ways, but in the end, he failed to stop wanting that kid. The Jenga tower, the discarded uniform, the discarded hair that he had repeatedly stacked and discarded dozens of times. It was a good thing he threw away the reasons that kept Won Dae-young from entering his room.

He decided to leave the whistle because it was a memory from his teenage years, and he decided to leave the dartboard for now because it was unavoidable for the Olympics.

— I’ve come to the conclusion that you’re like family.

— I have to go back to the meeting place. The new girls will be here later.

— He has a sore finger. It’s a burden on my heart that I’ll carry with me my whole life.

— Thinking about you being crushed on by a guy already makes me feel bad.

I turned on my banking app, telling myself that not confessing in my first year of high school was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.

The amount of emergency money I’ve been saving since middle school, with the intention of repaying the ‘yakuza’ someday, is quite large. I wanted to be on his side my whole life, and I wanted to do well for him no matter what. That’s why I chose to become a certified public accountant without any hesitation. It’s a liberal arts job that allows me to earn the highest salary the fastest.

So I don’t need to feel guilty or worried about Won Dae-young. I can repay what I received from him. I won’t ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) be a burden on his heart anymore.

Now all that’s left is to properly cut ties. If even that can’t be achieved through effort, the world must truly be an absurd place.

Director Yoon Ji-hwan: [My lover became famous overnight, so I feel tense in my shoulders. Haha] 7:17 AM

Director Yoon Ji-hwan: [Did you have trouble sleeping?]

Director Yoon Ji-hwan: [How are you? I'm worried that I played too hard yesterday. I should have taken it easy.] 7:22 AM

Here, play refers to poker, not playing in bed.

To properly break up our relationship, I went to a hold'em pub with Yoon Ji-hwan after work yesterday. Choi Seol-woo had never really enjoyed entertainment because he only studied during his four years in college. Naturally, there was no way he could beat Yoon Ji-hwan at poker. His passion for learning and competitive spirit kicked in, so he threw down the gauntlet and it was midnight.

[No, I was surprised that you did well. I have a lot to learn.] 8:02 AM

[I was wondering if you could come pick me up for the second filming. If you don’t mind, let’s have dinner together.] 8:03 AM

It took a lot of courage for Choi Seol-woo, who had never asked anyone to eat first. Won Dae-young was the kind of kid who could muster up even this kind of courage.

The number 1 disappeared from the message, and a few seconds later, a call came from Director Yoon. Oh... I had forgotten... This was love.

- Seol-woo. Did you want to ‘ask’ me?

“Yes?”

- The honorific is cute. Let’s talk comfortably. I’m not like that distant boss, Seol-woo.

“Director, it’s far. I’m just competing for a full-time job. It’s easier to be polite for now.”

- Oh... . And what are you asking? You should order him to come pick you up. To someone who will do anything to come even if you tell him not to.

Coming even if you tell him not to come is Won Dae-young’s specialty... When the thought crossed his mind, Yoon Ji-hwan asked softly.

- You woke up early. Didn't you go running today?

"Yes, I'm tired because I slept late."

- Actually, I also had trouble sleeping yesterday. Maybe because I saw it late last night, I kept thinking about it until this morning. Haha.

The narration, 'The male will soon show his tearful courtship to win the favor of the female. He'll do anything to succeed in mating.' Choi Seol-woo knows that every word, look, and signal of Yoon Ji-hwan's is filled with a faint sexual appeal. He must be holding back to keep up the pace. However, it would also be a mistake not to appeal too much, so he's adjusting skillfully. freewёbnoνel.com

Either way, the goal is sex. After all, love is just stimulation, impulse, self-satisfaction, and an illusion.

Choi Seol-woo opened his eyes wide and scolded himself. He might be a good person who fits you well! Choi Seol-woo, try hard. Properly!

"Oh, I think I couldn't sleep for a similar reason."

<Knowing Brother> made me lose sleep, but I managed to blurt out a romantic answer.

It was as if I had forced myself to become someone else.

Something hot rose to my eyes and I quickly ended the call. I put my morning medicine in my mouth and checked the appointment details for the clinic. Choi Seol-woo, who had put on loafers and left the villa, came across a taxi blocking the alley.

“Hey! This is the taxi called by ****! Get in quickly!”

“Yes......?”

The last four digits of the phone number the driver shouted were Won Dae-young’s number. Why would he send a taxi right at my work time...?

It didn’t take long for me to figure out the answer. It was because there might be someone who recognized Choi Seol-woo on public transportation. Yes, Choi Seol-woo’s face was known to at least 500,000 people yesterday... .

Choi Seol-woo got into the back seat while letting out a faint curse. Then he handed his card to the driver.

“I’m sorry, but please cancel the reservation and pay with this.”

“Oh, that’s a bit... We don’t have the authority to cancel... We have to ask the customer to cancel the call.”

When the driver politely refused with a troubled expression, he couldn’t press on any further. Damn it. Something had been gnawing at my heart all morning.

* * *

The end of the long inheritance dispute was in sight. Death, paternity, and a lawsuit for incest... They had walked down a dark path, endlessly refusing to accept it. Won Dae-young’s mother had been using the assets she had gradually secured each time she won a lawsuit to cover the costs of the lawsuit and had invested generously in Won Dae-hyun’s private education. The apartment that Won Dae-young was currently living in was also a gift that he had barely received the year before last. Now that the final ruling is in, she will be able to cover the mortgage loan for the house he had purchased with great difficulty and the initial investment costs for the company that Won Dae-hyun had founded.

She was delighted when her second son, Won Dae-young, recently made headlines with his romantic relationship with Ha Young-seo. When Won Dae-young personally stepped forward and drove out the evil second-in-command when he was a high school student, she was only annoyed, but after her girlfriend’s parents took responsibility and practiced noblesse oblige in handling Kang Jong-hyeok’s lawsuit, her attitude changed.

She has maintained a close relationship with their family over tea for the past 10 years. After the inheritance dispute was over, Won Dae-young’s family is also a wealthy family. Furthermore, Won Dae-young has now become a sports hero and star that no one can surpass. In her view, Ha Young-seo’s family was satisfactory without any shortcomings.

However, when she recently called Ha Young-seo’s mother, she heard a shocking story.

“Yes, teacher. It’s been a while since I called. I was worried that the media article might have been a nuisance to Yeong-seo, so I called to ask how you were. Last time, I returned the medal gift....”

- Dae-young’s mother. I... I called to tell you this.

“Yes? What did you say?”

- Dae-young is so busy these days that he doesn’t have time to talk to you at all, right? You probably contacted him because you don’t know what he did to Yeong-seo.

And the story she heard was shocking. Not only did he refuse the medal congratulatory gift, he also refused to contact Ha-young, who was so rude that he left her outside the house for over an hour.

The moment he heard the accusatory words, his pride was hurt first. The unpleasantness of having to say something regrettable was indescribable.

I thought Won Dae-young had come to his senses when he entered high school. In her eyes, who had only watched him from the outside, from afar, and superficially, it seemed that he had sorted out all his wanderings and misdeeds after meeting Ha-young. Since Won Dae-young and I had reunited once or twice since then, I thought that if we were looking for a suitable marriage partner, it would naturally be Ha Young-seo. It was advantageous in every way.

Won Dae-young, who was quick-witted, also believed that his judgment and calculations would be the same as mine. He foolishly thought that they would meet again after he overcame his injury, but the news he heard was the complete opposite of his expectations.

“No matter how much you’ve lost interest and the dating rumors are unpleasant, why did you say that so coldly? Why did you act like that, even to our face?”

“You know that we’re all close families. Why did you act like that?”

Won Dae-hyun was also the first to express his displeasure at their loss of pride. This was because as he started his own business and got older, his tendency to value face became stronger.

Their family had never known Won Dae-young, and they didn’t understand him, and because of that, they still feared him and had a hard time with him. The lament that they couldn’t express in front of Won Dae-young burst out again.

“Why on earth did you reject me so drastically, seriously!”

Won Dae-young slammed the steering wheel hard. Why was he angry at Choi Seol-woo?

It was just a joke he made without knowing the rumors that were secretly going around. I could have talked to him nicely and edited it.

I understood and accepted that she could be with men too. My head and emotions were playing separately.

I thought that if I completely put the rumors to rest with X-Tube, and then secretly manipulate the suspicious aspects of the relationship that the worn-out Yoon Sang-moo bastard was involved in, I could go back to the way things were. ... ... However, rather than manipulating Choi Seol-woo, Won Dae-young was being shaken by an unconsciousness he couldn’t understand.

The most uncomfortable part was that Choi Seol-woo felt different from before. Every time I saw him, I could see the afterimages of his same-sex love affairs. To say that it was the natural confusion of someone who had a friend who came out,

too many things were shaking. The relationship with Choi Seol-woo, the beliefs he took for granted, the inside and outside of Won Dae-young. Everything is different than before. Even the memories that were buried deep inside are shaking as if they will explode.

Won Dae-young frowned and looked somewhere in the air. The headlights were shining from beyond the steering wheel. A black car pulled into the corner of the underground parking lot and took its place.

Yesterday, Ha Young-seo sent him a text.

[Okay, let's just see each other's faces and end it. If you want to be a basic human being. This is the end for me too.]

There is a risk of paparazzi around each other's houses.

We decided to meet in a deserted underground parking lot. Ha Young-seo called after parking.

- I'll talk to you briefly, so I'll go in the senior's car.

Ha Young-seo, who was wearing a hat and mask like Won Dae-young, opened the passenger door. Sitting down, Ha Young-seo slowly met Won Dae-young's eyes as they turned toward her.
