“Stop..! Stop it, oppa!”

My brother shouldn’t become a murderer because of me.

I was finally able to truly call the person who fought for me my brother, but I couldn’t lose him already.

After hearing my words, my older brother looked up at me while holding the collar of the fallen male student and spoke.

“How much did this guy get?”

I guess I was having a hard time, but I suddenly answered sincerely when the voice spoke while trying to catch my breath.

“I don’t know because I’ve been borrowing it since first grade..”

As soon as he heard the answer, my brother hit the bully boy’s face with his elbow.

Sigh

Blood began to flow from the nose of the male student who was lying down with a popping sound.

The nose bone must have been properly broken.

My brother grabbed the gangster by his hair and lifted him up so that the blood from his nose poured down, and then he rummaged around and took out the guy’s wallet.

The gangster’s wallet was full of 10,000 won and 50,000 won bills, as if he had taken a lot of money from other people besides me.

My brother reached into his wallet, took out the cash, and handed the money to me.

My brother left me, who was blankly watching the scene, and hit the bully hard on the cheek.

match!

Yangachi opened his eyes as if he had come to his senses from the sudden shock of being slapped.

“Ugh!”

He screamed as he felt extreme pain in his face and nose.

My brother went into the corner to pick up his wallet, which had flown away while fighting over the bully.

When my brother went into the corner, the girls and boys around him looked at him and took a step back.

“Now.”

Before I knew it, my brother had picked up my wallet.

His hands seemed to be unscathed, perhaps due to constant fighting.

The skin was as black as skin, and black bruises were visible here and there.

“This bastard, you are really behind now. I don’t know who you are..”

“Just once…”

My brother spoke, interrupting the angry, cursing bully.

“Touch my brother one more time, I promise, I will make you crippled for the rest of your life.”

My brother’s voice was sincere.

A voice that no one can hear except that it is sincere.

No one could say anything in that atmosphere.

“Let’s go.”

With those words, my brother and I headed home.

So, I didn’t encounter any of these bastards until I graduated.

Whenever they saw me, they looked at me and walked away, and I was able to graduate from middle school with ease.

“Oppa, what are you doing?”

“I’m looking for a part-time job.”

“Eng..? I heard you’re going to the military soon?”

“I need to save up as much money as I can before I go.”

From that day on, I started talking to my brother constantly.

Thanks to my brother who didn’t necessarily reject me, we were able to become close friends really quickly.

Maybe the impression I had when I first saw him was all a misunderstanding on my part, and maybe my brother was also very shy?

With the same thoughts, I began to think positively about my brother.

So, when I was in my second year of high school, my older brother entered the military.

Mom left home.

And with my father’s death insurance money.

When I first found out about this, I didn’t know what to do.

I struggled for days, saved as much pocket money as I had, and endured for five weeks in the hope that my mother would return.

I received a text message saying that all the money I had was gone and I had no way to eat anything other than eating lunch at school.

-Training center is over

It was my brother.

I cried bitterly when I saw the text message from my brother.

Even though I was crying, my mother ran away with the bankbook containing my father’s death insurance money, I ate only cup ramen and triangle kimbap for several weeks, and I felt lonely because I was alone at home.

I still remember the text message my brother sent me when I was pouring out all kinds of words.

-It must have been hard. Take a break. If you’re tired, take a break from school. You’re hungry, right? In the second drawer of my room, there is money I saved while working part-time for a year. I will eat with it and send it to you little by little as soon as I get paid from the military.

The account password is…

That’s how my brother sacrificed his early and mid-20s for me.

Although he only received a small amount of money from the military, he sent me all the money except savings, and comforted me by telling me not to worry about it, since he could eat, sleep, and shower in the military, and just hang out with his friends and eat delicious food.

After my older brother was discharged from the military, I was able to attend college using military savings.

My brother’s sacrifice was behind my ability to study comfortably until the day I turned 22.

At some point, I thought this was normal.

Just as I felt it was natural for my parents to raise me when I was immature.

Starting in my third year of high school, it started to feel like it was normal for my older brother to earn money for me.

It was to the point where I wanted to kill the two middle school students who came late and the immature me from the past.

*

I shed all my tears in my brother’s arms, raised my eyes and looked at the man.

I can see him wearing a shabby t-shirt and torn pants.

Because of himself, he didn’t even buy and wear proper clothes.

When I saw that, I made a promise.

I won’t let my brother be sacrificed anymore.

“Did you all cry?”

“Yes..”

“Can you tell me what’s going on?”

“..No..”

◦ at

After calming down my sister, who suddenly started crying, I tried to change my clothes because I had to go to work soon.

“Don’t go..”

At that time, Soo-yeon grabbed my collar and spoke in a voice filled with tears.

” Hey… small businesses are in big trouble if they don’t go even for a day?”

Then, suddenly, I felt him clasping his hands around my waist, hugging me and saying he wouldn’t let me go.

“Then just stay like this for just 10 minutes.. really just stay like this for 10 minutes..”

“Why is this so gross?!”

Today, I tried to get away by pushing Suyeon’s strange head, but she held me tighter, as if showing her determination not to let go.

“Ugh.. I got it, I got it. It’s only been 10 minutes?”

“Yes..”

In that state, I walked over and sat down on the sofa.

However, Sooyeon climbed onto my lap and hugged me, saying she wouldn’t let me go.

“Hey..”

“Huh..?”

“Gross.”

“Yes..”

It was strange that siblings were doing this, but no matter how much I told them it was gross, she didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping the hugging behavior.

My sister is pretty.

It was so pretty that anyone could call it pretty.

In fact, from the moment I first saw her as a child, she was so pretty that it was hard to approach her, so I had a feeling that she was a little burdensome.

When I was young, I sometimes looked at her with sexual eyes, to my shame.

Of course, after my father passed away, I guess I had grown more mature and all I could think about was taking care of her like my real sister.

It’s so hard for me, but I wonder how hard it must have been for her, who is three years younger than me.

To prevent others from making fun of her as a parentless orphan, he continued to earn money for her.

This was the only thing I could do, so from the time I grew up, I was very obsessed with making money.

So, I was planning to go to work in the afternoon today after taking all the overtime pay to earn extra money until yesterday, but now this is what happened.

‘At first, I thought I was vomiting from the shrimp fried rice I ate for breakfast…’

I guess something happened.

Seeing that he was shedding tears and even nauseating, he must have had a hard time.

Now that she’s an adult, I think she’ll take care of herself, but I also feel a little worried.

So I was accepting her complaints.

“1 minute left, I’m going to…”

Jiing

At that time, my cell phone, which I had left on the sofa, and Suyeon’s cell phone rang at the same time.

‘Is this a disaster text message? Wow, I wish I didn’t have to go to work due to a sudden disaster.’

While continuing this trivial thought, I turned on my phone.

“I wish I didn’t have to go to work because I suddenly got a disaster text message saying the world would be destroyed.”

flinch

Suyeon, who was hugging me on her lap, suddenly flinched.

Then,

Kugugugung…

The ground began to shake.

It was a very absurd thing for me, who had never felt a serious earthquake before.

“What, what? Su-yeon, let’s go out, the elevator doesn’t work, so we take the stairs!”

For now, I tried to take care of Suyeon by saying whatever came to mind.

Come on…

As if she was scared, she just came further into my arms and hugged me tighter.

‘this..’

The country also needs to come to its senses.

The shaking gradually became more severe, objects in the house fell, and windows began to break as if they were misaligned.

Clink!

“Fuck..”

As shards of glass stained the living room, I instinctively hugged Suyeon and lifted her up so she wouldn’t get hurt.

‘For now, I have to hold out until the earthquake is over.’

I remembered that an educational material once said to hide in a safe place when an earthquake occurs, and then run away before the next aftershock when the earthquake is over, so I placed the pillow on the sofa on Sooyeon’s head.

“Ah!! I’m really going to work!! I’m going to work, so please!”

The only thing I can do now is scream, so I end up screaming.

The earthquake really stopped.

“What..? Does this make sense? Lee Waejin?”

The house was quiet, as if the shaking so violently earlier had been a dream.

However, the broken glass and household items rolling around the house proved that it was not a dream.

“Suyeon, come to your senses and go outside..”

I checked the disaster text message that came earlier telling her to go out.

-Currently, an unidentified ‘tower’ is being observed along with earthquakes all over the world. Citizens, please do not get close to the ‘tower’….

‘what..?’

I was looking at a text message that I couldn’t even understand what it was saying, then I turned my head and looked outside at the broken window…

In the distance, there was a large and majestic tower that had never been seen before.
