"Unbelievable."
Unbelievable, 12 times; dumbfounded, 17 times; should I kill him, 8 times; truly absurd, 7 times; crazy bastard, 5 times; what is this, 8 times. These were the number of times Stella muttered to herself after returning to her room. There were no other words to describe the emotions she was currently feeling or the experience she had just gone through.
Other than spitting out the despair she felt in those moments like a sigh. For a long time, within Stella, her brother was a sinner. At first, Stella had been overjoyed at the idea of having an older brother.
Stella's dark history includes the days when she would excitedly run around telling her mother that she would do all sorts of things with her brother once he arrived. The older brother who actually came to their home after being adopted... Although there was a disconnect from Kim Sang-hyuk's current appearance, she clearly remembered feeling repulsed by him back then.
However, this doesn't mean that she was prepared to forgive Kim Sang-hyuk for becoming the "ideal older brother."
Undoubtedly, this shift in emotions had nothing to do with the transformation in her brother's appearance. Neither of the brothers had any intention of living in this house, where only Serena and she resided.
I am the judge with absolute authority.
My brother is the sinner.
I entered the room with that very stance, and before I knew it, I found myself rolling on the floor.
'???????????????'
Stella's mind was brimming with question marks.
Has this man truly gone mad!?
Not only did he exert physical force against me, a class A hunter, but he also declared his intention to gaze upon my panties whenever he pleased! I fought with all my might, but I soon realized that brute strength wouldn't suffice. This realization only fueled my anger.
'How can someone like this be a man... What the... Why is he so strong?!'
I was pinned down and rendered helpless.
Despite my continued resistance, I found myself subject to absurd strangleholds and rolling across the floor.
If she couldn't break free from this chokehold, she would die! A blow to the stomach would be agonizing!
Overwhelmed by such primitive force, Stella became indifferent to revealing her undergarments, regardless of her partner's gender. Strangely, it didn't bother her anymore.
In any case, if that imbecile Kim Sang-hyuk wanted to see her underwear, he would likely say, "Hey, show me your underwear." And Stella, unchanging in her response, would retort, "What are you talking about, you moronic brother." But she wouldn't actually call him a 'moron', knowing it would worsen the chokehold.
Stella knew that Kim Sang-hyuk had sincerely opened his heart to her, and she understood that it wasn't an act.
"The certainty that this fool will no longer take lurid photos"
Following the emergence of that uncertain faith...
He came to realize that half of the fears he harbored were, in fact, self-inflicted.
At the very least, that scoundrel wouldn't resort to drugging or installing hidden cameras to blackmail her and Serena.
He's an even bigger idiot than that.
Whether this could be considered 'trust' was uncertain,
But his perception of the character known as "Older Brother" had undoubtedly changed.
It was after the emotional burden, almost miraculously, had nearly vanished.
Except for the unexpected intrusion of an older brother, more foolish than she ever imagined, into Stella's life.
"It's the first time. Complaining like this with my body."
Stella promptly updated her brother's profile, which labeled him as an 'imbecile.'
It now read "Kim Sang-hyuk."
