Chapter 457

Episode 457

Because Lee Jae-heon’s consciousness was intact, the process of settling matters was easy.

“You, you bastard! uh?! “Did I tell you to do it in moderation or not?”

“Uh oh... I hurt my back, don’t touch my back...!”

“I heard you suggested it first and they took the back part! Why are you whining about the pain you brought on yourself? “Oh my, I’m really burning up!”

“Ahhhh...!”

Lee Jae-hyung, who had been working fine and suddenly came running when he heard the news of his younger brother’s accident, slapped Lee Jae-heon on the back as soon as he saw him. The doctor who brought the patient became restless due to the caretaker’s lack of common sense towards the patient, but the sound was only loud and it wasn’t particularly painful.

Of course, on the surface, it was domestic violence, so the expressions of the doctor and secretary Jeong Eun-woo became clouded. Lee Jae-heon heard Jeong Eun-woo muttering very softly, ‘You bastard whose conscience was stolen...’

“Huh... okay...”

Perhaps due to the intense movements and emotions, Jaehyung Lee was out of breath and stroked his hair.

“So what’s going on?”

“Are you done already?”

“Now that it’s over, please explain.”

“My brother isn’t the same as before. “Look at me panting.”

“Jae-heon, who do you think I’m running out of breath for now?”

“Since when did you become so affectionate?”

“Do you think this is a matter of affection?”

“Probably not...?”

“If you know, please explain.”

Jaeheon Lee pierced his earhole.

“Didn’t you hear the explanation from the people behind you?”

“I heard it, but I’m not sure if what I heard is right.”

“Uh... I guess that’s right....”

“This crazy bastard really is.”

“Ahh, I’m a patient right now...!”

Lee Jae-hyung hit Jae-heon Lee on the back again, and only after seeing blood did his domestic violence stop.

Lee Jae-heon realized once again that his brother was truly a bastard and obediently accepted the doctor’s treatment.

“Do you use it if a person who came to visit the patient sees the patient’s blood?”

“You just need to be a little less fussy.”

“Damn....”

“Did you just say this to your brother?”

“eww.”

“I told you not to openly hate me.”

Jaehyung Lee took a deep breath and asked again.

“So why did you really do that? It is said that everyone in the industry, including writers, has at least one secret weapon. “The bastard named Seong Dae-young... that was his body.”

“Did I know that far?”

“I heard that student Song In-myeong gave a general warning. “But you didn’t bother to do something to Seong Dae-young on your own and made such a fuss that you ended up in this sad month.”

“So it was a mistake.”

“Ha... Lee Jae-heon....”

Lee Jae-hyung continued, holding his head as if his entire back was in pain.

“I’m not telling you what you usually do. If you’re going to enjoy something like that, at least you shouldn’t get hurt. huh? “Why did you proceed with the task on your own even though you all know that the opponent is not in the right weight class, and then end up like this?”

Jaeheon Lee also had a clear reason for that.

‘If I put you here, what will happen to my chicks?’

It was Lee Jae-hyung who approached Jung In-ho with all his might just because it was already difficult to control ‘Lee Jae-heon’. I’ve maintained the image of ‘Even if I’m a serial killer’s bud, I’m still your small and delicate youngest brother~’ and it seems to have improved a bit now, but it was still unreliable.

This incident was an effort to prevent the newly introduced chicks from being threatened further. In the process, if it was discovered that Lee Jae-heon was truly caring about their safety, the probability and the chicks were also a problem. In a family like this, being caught being sincere was no different from showing weakness.

“Uh...”

So how should I explain this?

“What? Are you worried? “Just spit out whatever comes to mind, you idiot.”

“What do I trust... and ask for... from you, brother?”

“What dude?”

“No, honestly, you usually act like that even when you don’t do anything special...”

“Is that what you’re going to say to the family that’s visiting you right now?”

“Then you saw the blood on my back because you saw me as a patient?”

“You brought this on yourself.”

“This is why I don’t talk to my brother.”

“...Brother?”

Lee Jae-hyung, who was looking down at Lee Jae-heon with a complicated face, sighed again.

“What...? Then I’m blessed. “Stop sighing.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“...Why don’t you mistreat me?”

“You really have a knack for making people speechless.”

“yes?”

What can I say after leaving it alone?

Lee Jae-heon looked at Lee Jae-hyung’s back as he left the hospital room accompanied by two men.

“....”

“Mister? What are you doing?”

“...Uh, no, just....”

After they left, I couldn’t think of a sentence to reply to Song In-myeong, who came in late. Lee Jae-heon, who muttered for a while, managed to speak awkwardly.

“...I was wondering who would take Lee Jae-hyung’s place when he gets old.”

“What do you mean?”

“That’s right.”

Really, why are you like that?

* * *

On the way back to work.

Jaehyung Lee, who was sitting in the backseat, opened his mouth to Eunwoo Jeong, who was holding the steering wheel.

“Did I do this wrong?”

“I’m not sure what you’re talking about, Director.”

“Don’t leave it out even though you know everything. “Is this my fault?”

“....”

“...I’m going crazy.”

Jaehyung Lee was currently experiencing confusion.

“...I didn’t know it would be like that...”

He cared for his younger brother in his own way.

It is true that I have played a lot of practical jokes in the past, but no one said that it was a bad thing. Even Lee Jae-heon, the person involved, accepted it as nothing more than an annoying prank, so no one took issue with his ‘education’ or ‘affection’ toward his younger brother.

But today, seeing my younger brother’s unexpected weakness made me feel strange.

“I know that? “This is the first time he caught me first.”

“...okay.”

“If you think about it, that bastard has never asked me for help. My sister and I wanted to give her pocket money first, and when it came to buying new clothes, finding a house, or finding a job, we went first...” That was true, it was affection for my younger brother

. I didn’t mean to deny that.

“....”

“....”

However, it was my first time holding my sleeve to tell me not to go like that, so I felt a little nauseous.

“...We are really good brothers....”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Ha no, it’s true. “It’s true that we get along really well.”

My head was busy.

For Lee Jae-hyung, his younger brother was ‘something I had to take care of’, and recently, he was ‘a clever guy who hid his tastes from his family.’ Even though I felt a little betrayed when I found out that my younger brother had an unexpected lack of character, I wasn’t worried about him.

On the contrary, I thought it was quite heterodox and I liked it. My younger brother always said the same soft things to me, which made me anxious and irritated at times, but it was nice to feel like family in some way.

“...Whew....”

But when the realization hit me that it was they who created that lack of character, I felt strange.

That was different from regret. It wasn’t even a funny feeling of guilt. Even when it felt unpleasant, it felt pleasant, and when it felt frustrating, I felt a sense of stability. Perhaps because it was a topic I had never thought about before, I couldn’t easily come to a conclusion on this issue.

“...I don’t know. Oh, I don’t know.”

“Director?”

“When will the Chairman come?”

“I think he will arrive by this evening.”

“I’ve done all the nagging, so tell them not to be harsh.”

“Yes, Director.”

Lee Jae-hyung decided to just ignore the strangely twisted feeling.

That was a very familiar thing.
