My Younger Brother is a Hero

e didn’t seem to have thought about it deeply.

 

“Great.
Then let’s make a contract for you.”

 

After hearing his response, Seon-woo brought out a document that he had prepared.
Although it was a contract with all the terms and conditions attached, Do-jin did not hesitate to sign it.
Do-jin seemed to be older than Hyeon-woo on Earth, but to sign a contract right away without even verifying the content…
He was a person who was likely to be deceived wherever he went.
Hyeon-woo spitted out those thoughts.

 

“Now, what would you do if you get scammed?”

 

“Are you going to scam me?”

 

“Not that but still.”

 

Hyeon-woo had no intention of scamming, and Seon-woo was not childish enough to do that.

 

“Then that’s finally done and over with.”

 

Hyeon-woo, who said he was okay with it, decided to change the topic.

 

“I’ll tell you the story of Ye-won Noona.”

 

This story was not only about Ye-won, but also about Hyeon-woo.
In the beginning, they used to go together often.

 

Hyeon-woo picked out the good memories from here and there.
The first time they worked together while hunting monsters and were hungry and wandering in search of something to eat.
They found some fruit in the demon realm and when they ate it, they got colic.

 

He did not speak about horrible memories, because Do-jin wasn’t the only person here.

 

Hyeon-woo also had something he didn’t want to say to Seon-woo.
Day by day, the number of people who were becoming increasingly sensitive and committing crazy things had also increased.
Hyeon-woo and Ye-won, who were young and weak, were in an environment where they could not easily let go of their hearts and rest easily.

 

He had realized that people couldn’t all come together even in difficult circumstances.
There were those who wanted to survive by pushing someone into pain.
There were situations where people couldn’t trust others.

 

As he tried to remain calm in that situation, he realized how easily he could forget.
He forgot who he was and began to abandon his humanity.
Hyeon-woo, who was barely at the age of a high school student, was poisoned and destroyed in an instant.

 

For decades from that moment on and until the last person died, Hyeon-woo survived alone and stayed in the Demon Realm.
So, he could say that he really didn’t get out unscathed.

 

‘Still, I thought it would be okay to talk about this.’

 

It changed him.
Hyeon-woo, who was once weak, was no longer there.
Still, the more the story went on, the more detachment he felt.

 

“Hyung, let’s stop.”

 

At some point, Seon-woo came and grabbed Hyeon-woo’s hand.

 

“What?”

 

“That’s it for today.”

 

Do-jin also added to Seon-woo’s words, “Looks like I put too much pressure on you.
Sorry.”

 

‘Why are you saying that?’

 

He didn’t know why, but the two seemed to be worried about Hyeon-woo.

 

“Kiiing.”

 

Suddenly, Kero, who was on the sofa, whined.
Hyeon-woo nodded his head as he thought about it and agreed, “Well, it’s a long story to tell all at once.”

 

“That’s right.
So, just rest.”

 

“Yeah, Hyung.
Let’s lie down first.”

 

Seon-woo lifted Hyeon-woo again and took him to the bedroom.
Then he laid him on the bed and covered him with a blanket.
Beside him, he put Kero, who was trembling.

 

“Wait a minute, I’ll go and bring you a healer.”

 

Healer? What was going on?

 

“No, it’s okay.
Call what healer? I look fine, don’t I?”

 

At that, Seon-woo took Hyeon-woo’s hand with a bitter expression.

 

“Okay.
I will call the healer for you later, so let’s rest for a while.”

 

Then he patted his chest, turned his back, and left the room.
Hyeon-woo laid down, but sleep did not come.
So, he opened his eyes, grabbed Kero and hugged him.
It felt surprisingly good to rub Kero’s belly fat, which had become chubby recently.

 

Well, he should pretend that he’s sleeping since he would worry his brother.
Hyeon-woo simply closed his eyes.

 

Seon-woo, who came out after closing the door, beckoned at Do-jin.
Do-jin understood the meaning and immediately got up and went outside.
Seon-woo followed him.
He opened his mouth only after the thick door was closed.

 

“Are you satisfied now?”

 

It was a sharp voice.

 

“Sorry.”

 

It was something he hadn’t even thought of.
If Do-jin had been in the Demon Realm for 10 years, there would have been many painful memories, but he simply wouldn’t care.
He felt a sense of guilt that he had made it difficult for someone who was still vulnerable all because he wanted to hear about his sister.

 

It was the same with Seon-woo.
He’d taken a deep breath, desperately suppressing the rising questions that time.
He must have wondered about how his older brother had lived all this time.

 

‘How did you survive in the Demon Realm, and why can't I gauge the strength of your power?’ There were many things he wanted to ask.
Still, he didn’t ask.
Because he wanted to protect his Hyung.
It meant that he had to approach him more slowly.

 

‘I did.’

 

But then Do-jin ruined it all.
No, no.
It was also Seon-woo’s fault.
Seon-woo could only simply clench his fists.
