Chapter 457 - For My Beloved Little Brother (1)
Kim Si-Hun’s expression was frozen beyond belief the moment Kim Tae-Hyun called Oh Kang-Woo hyung.
‘The hell?’
Kang-Woo stared at Si-Hun in confusion.
‘Why does he look like his entire world shattered? It’s not like I cheated on him or anything.’
He felt like he was some husband who was caught cheating on his wife.
Kang-Woo approached Si-Hun and carefully called, “Si-Hun?”
“Oh.” Si-Hun came back to his senses and shook his head with an awkward smile. “I-It’s nothing, hyung-nim.”
‘Nothing, my ass. Why would you make that face if nothing was wrong?’
“M-My grip loosened. Hahaha. The sword is a little heavy.”
‘That’s a formless sword, it doesn’t have any weight. He looks shocked, however I look at him. Is it because I allowed Tae-Hyun to call me hyung?’
Considering the situation, that seemed to be the reason.
‘For real? Just because of that?’
Kang-Woo chuckled as he stared at Si-Hun averting his gaze from Kang-Woo as he smiled awkwardly.
“I’ll be going back to my room. Haha. Welcome to Guardians, Tae-Hyun,” Si-Hun remarked as he approached Tae-Hyun, still smiling awkwardly.
Tae-Hyun smirked as if mocking Si-Hun and grabbed the hand that Si-Hun stretched out. His eyes were filled with the leisure granted to the victor.
‘The hell’s with him now?’
Kang-Woo frowned at Tae-Hyun’s attitude which looked as if he were looking down on Si-Hun.
Tae-Hyun replied as if boasting, “Thank you very much. I managed to win purely by luck today, but I was able to see how amazing of a Player you were, Sword Dragon.”
Si-Hun remained silent.
Tae-Hyun smiled as he stared at Si-Hun.
‘I heard that Kang-Woo hyung treasures the Sword Dragon.’
The public already knew that Sword Dragon Kim Si-Hun and Kang-Woo were sworn brothers. It was difficult for them not to know since Si-Hun bragged about Kang-Woo constantly wherever he went.
‘It’ll be different now.’
Tae-Hyun clenched his fist. He won the duel, so the one who would be standing alongside Kang-Woo would be him, not Si-Hun.
“Hehe,” Tae-Hyun giggled innocently.
He imagined himself saving the world from danger with his benefactor who had saved his life in the past.
‘And one day...’
He would surpass his benefactor and save him from danger! Tae-Hyun couldn’t help but smile as he imagined the scene straight out of an anime. His heart beat faster as his passion grew. The ridicule and disrespect that he had faced as someone with the weakest class flashed before his eyes.
‘To do that...’
Tae-Hyun stared at Si-Hun, who was more handsome than the average celebrity and far more talented than the average Player. He was the epitome of a protagonist.
‘...I have to surpass the Sword Dragon.’
He had already taken the first step. He was surprised by the unexpectedly powerful attack at the end of their battle, but he managed to defeat the Sword Dragon nonetheless.
Tae-Hyun smiled slyly and continued, “Hahaha. I’ll be in your care from now on.”
“Ah, yes...”
“We’re brothers now, aren’t we?”
Si-Hun’s expression momentarily crumpled. His gaze toward Tae-Hyun shone chillingly. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
“Yes... we are. We’re both... brothers. Hahaha.”
Si-Hun giggled as his shoulders trembled and turned around to quickly leave the training room.
“Um, Si-Hun...” Layla called.
“I’m sorry, Layla. I’m feeling a little tired, so can we talk later?”
Si-Hun walked toward his room in the Hall of Protection without even looking Layla’s way.
“H-Hoho. Si-Hun seems to be a little shocked. I don’t blame him since I didn’t expect Si-Hun to lose either,” Layla said forcibly, trying to sound bright to lighten the mood.
It was far too suspicious.
‘That’s impossible.’
It was as if a millionaire gave the majority of his wealth to a random person on the streets with no strings attached. Something like this with no price or objective was bound to have hidden conditions.
‘This is a dangerous coin.’ Kang-Woo was made sure of it after listening to Tae-Hyun’s story. ‘But it’s too soon to make a move.’
Kang-Woo still had no way of figuring out who gave Tae-Hyun that power or for what reason. However fishy it was, it would not be wise to give up on the Tae-Hyun Coin.
‘Especially when he’s so loyal to me.’
It would be a huge waste to give up on someone who could be a huge asset if handled well.
‘Allies with Deific Essence are always welcome.’
Kang-Woo did not expect Tae-Hyun to be of help to him in facing Bael since no one but himself was able to.
‘But the otherworldly invasions are a different story.’
He would not be able to block the invasions by himself; this was evident by the fact that he couldn’t resolve the abnormal phenomena occurring in the Gates all over the world by himself.
‘After all, there’s only one of me.’
No matter how powerful he was, one soldier couldn't defend a castle. He needed dependable allies to keep the castle that was Earth safe.
‘I’ll have Lilith keep him monitored twenty-four seven.’
Keeping his guard up was good enough for now.
“Haha. I never thought a day like this would come. I can’t believe I’m touring the Hall of Protection with you... Kang-Woo hyung.”
Tae-Hyun smiled as if he couldn’t be happier. He seriously reminded Kang-Woo of a dog.
‘His excessive loyalty might become a problem.’
Kang-Woo sighed as he recalled the war of nerves between Si-Hun and Tae-Hyun. He stood in front of the closed door of Si-Hun’s room.
‘What should I do about Si-Hun?’
He was already getting a headache when thinking about how to console the shocked Si-Hun who had locked himself in his room.
“What’s wrong, hyung?” Tae-Hyun asked as he turned around to look back at Kang-Woo, who suddenly stopped in place.
“Oh.” Just then, an idea popped up in Kang-Woo’s head. “... No, that’s a bit...”
Kang-Woo shook his head.
‘But this is the best option.’
He thought about other options but couldn’t think of anything else.
Kang-Woo clenched his fists.
‘Yeah.’
He had no other choice; he needed to be the one to help Si-Hun overcome the wall blocking his growth.
‘The older brother needs to make sacrifices for his little brother.’
He needed to steel his heart for the sake of his beloved little brother.
“Tae-Hyun,” Kang-Woo called.
“Ah, yes, Kang-Woo hyung?”
Tae-Hyun trotted toward Kang-Woo with a smile. Kang-Woo also smiled brightly and put his hand on Tae-Hyun’s shoulder.
“Why don’t we go grab something to eat together?”
“Ah.” Tae-Hyun’s eyes widened. “O-Okay! S-Sounds good! I was just about getting hungry as well!”
“There’s a good kimchi stew place I know.”
“Kimchi stew! I love kimchi stew!”
“Really? Haha. It looks like we’ll get along well.”
Kang-Woo patted Tae-Hyun’s shoulder and turned around.
Shatter!
The sound of something breaking came from inside Si-Hun’s room.
