Chapter 461 – The Little Brother Seong-Hoon…

〈 abduction 〉

It was really hard to hold a funeral for five days.
However, after 3 days and on the 4th day, Seong-jin’s sadness went away to some extent, and he had the energy to look around.

Now, tomorrow morning, I will finish her funeral and leave for Jangji.
On the last night of the funeral, even though it was late, there were still quite a few people in the funeral home.

Jin-hee and her stepmother were tired and sleeping in a small room, and in the corner, Gwang-shik, who had been making a lot of noise while playing Go-Stop until yesterday, and several of her old family members were lying on the floor sleeping casually, as if they were tired of staying up all night for several days.
They were the people who voluntarily took charge of the coffin when the coffin went out tomorrow.

When she turned her head, Aunt Hyo-seon was left near her kitchen, dozing with her elbow resting on her table.
Seong-jin told the women that they didn’t have to come, but the women decided to take turns on their own and stayed up all night like this, and it seemed that it was Aunt Hyo-sun’s turn today.

The mortuary was empty, and Seong-jin was sitting on a chair outside the mortuary facing the portrait of her and looking around.
Seongjin also felt that her body was very heavy, but strangely, she could not sleep.
She was just sitting with her back in her chair like this, looking back at people and feeling this or that.

While Seongjin was doing this for a while, Seonghun carefully opened the door and came out of the small room where Jinhee and her stepmother were resting, and she approached Seongjin.

“Why? Can you get some more rest?”

“No. Brother. Don’t you need to get some rest? You haven’t slept for three days already.”

Seongjin just laughed helplessly at her younger words of concern for her brother.
She was the youngest sister, whom she had only thought of as a child. She was very proud to see her stoically conducting her funeral, receiving her guests over the past few days.

“Brother. Let’s go out and get some fresh air.”

She says Seong-jin is about to talk Seong-hoon into sitting next to her, but she suggests that Seong-hoon go out first.

“Is that so?”

At this time, it seemed that there would be no more customers coming to her, and Seong-jin, who was immersed in her thoughts while watching the exhausted people, wanted to breathe fresh air at Seong-hun’s words.

Seong-jin, who stood up from her seat following Seong-hun, seemed strangely quite unfamiliar with Seong-hun walking ahead of her, with his tall height and shoulders wide open.

“Boy..”

Seongjin looked at Sunghoon’s back and smiled, and for some reason, he felt like he shouldn’t carelessly say that he’s her younger brother.

Seonghun came out and suddenly took a cigarette out of his pocket and held it out to Seongjin.

“What? You bastard, do you smoke?”

When Sung-jin, now only a freshman in high school, took out a cigarette, she looked at Seong-hun with bewildered eyes.

“No. Don’t smoke I just kept it for my brother because I thought he would smoke it.”

Surprisingly, it was an act of deep thought by Seonghun.
Seongjin laughed again and took a cigarette and placed it in her mouth.

It was a cigarette she tried to avoid smoking as much as possible after returning.
However, the cigarette smoke I exhaled now couldn’t be so refreshing today.
Although it was a little bit, it felt as if some things that remained in my heart were being spit out in the smoke of cigarettes.

Without saying a word, Seongjin smoked a cigarette, and Seonghun stood silently by his side until Seongjin finished smoking.

“Sung Hoon. What are you going to do now?”

Seong-jin took a look at the cigarette butt, then she flicked the cigarette butt away with her fingers as she spoke to Sung-hoon.

“What should I do?”

Seonghun looked at Seongjin with a curious face.

“Your father isn’t here anymore, and there’s no reason for you to stay in that house. My house is far from my house…
And it’s already a little too much to talk about, but it will go to my stepmother who inherited my father’s share.. I honestly want to pass it on to you rather than my stepmother.”

“Brother. What are you talking about? Are you saying you don’t trust your stepmom?”

“To put it bluntly, it has only been two years since my stepmother came into our family. But if you tell me to believe 100 percent, isn’t it a bit like that?”

Seonghun stared blankly at Seongjin for a long time.
Then he spoke up as if he had made up his mind.

“Brother. You can trust stepmom. And you can give all of your father’s property to your stepmom.”

Seongjin nodded her head involuntarily at Seonghun’s confident tone.
For some reason, I felt that I could trust Sung Hoon’s words.

“Okay? I get it. But why do you trust your stepmother so much?”

Sung Hoon suddenly smiled.

“Stepmom… I’m three months pregnant now.”

“What? Are you pregnant with your father’s child?”

Sung Hoon smiled again without answering.
However, Sung Hoon’s smile was filled with something like satisfaction and strange pride.

“No.. My child.”

“What… What?”

What kind of lightning-like sound is this?
Seongjin was completely bewildered and he couldn’t think of what to say.
She wondered if she had just heard something wrong.

“Your brother was 17 when he got her mom pregnant too, right? Maybe .. Then he is the brother of his brother?”

Seonghun giggled to himself at what was funny.
Seong-jin was so taken aback by Sung-hoon’s subsequent words that she couldn’t say anything, and she looked around quickly, wondering if anyone had heard what she was saying.

After a while, Seong-jin, who had been staring at Seong-hoon without saying anything, took another cigarette from the cigarette pack she was holding in her hand, put it in her mouth, and lit it.

“Whoa… Did you know that too?”

Long cigarette smoke billowed from Sungjin’s mouth into the dark sky.

“It’s because I didn’t say anything, I guess I didn’t know the relationship between my mother and my older brother, or even my older sister.
It’s something I felt while living with my father, and he probably noticed it to some extent..”

Cigarette smoke gushed out of Seongjin’s mouth again, and Seongjin licked her lips with some bitterness.

“By any chance, did you go to her father’s house because you didn’t like things like that with me and mom?”

“No. It’s not… Ha…”

Suddenly, Seonghun let out a long sigh, wondering what he was thinking.

“Hyung.. You know very well how much I trust and like you. And I love her mom too..”

Seongjin naturally nodded her head.
Since he was her boy, it was Seong-hun who followed Seong-jin exceptionally from a young age.
To be honest, Seongjin also liked his youngest sister, Seonghun, much more than his younger sister, Jinhee. When he was a kid, he used to sleep with the very cute Sunghoon on his arm pillow. Seongjin also liked Seonghun to the extent that he left Jinhee out and only took Seonghun.

“Honestly, when she first found out that her mother and her brother had such a relationship, she was very shocked, but as she kept watching the two of them, her mother and her brother looked so happy. It was so nice to see her smiling all the time, especially as her mother’s face got prettier. As you know, how hard was it honestly when you lived on our rooftop? How many times did I resent my father who always made it hard for my mother..

The two people I like and love the most in this world love each other and are happy, but I don’t think it’s very strange.. Should I say it was a bit of a shock at first? Later on, I thought that it would be better for my mother and older brother, the two of them to be really good. It was really nice to see her happy when she was with her brother.

Hyung.. But you know.. Funny.. At some point I realized that I love my mom just like hyung. Isn’t my mom usually pretty?
My mother, who is getting younger and more beautiful, looked so pretty at some point, and she always looked so pretty when she was smiling at her older brother. And especially when she was in bed with her mom and her older brother, then her mom figure was a goddess.. A goddess..”

Seonghun’s eyes became hazy as to what he was imagining.
Seongjin was dumbfounded, so she just looked at him like that.

“From a certain moment on, when I came home, I always stared blankly at my mother. It must have been since I entered middle school.
I wonder if I was also an adolescent, and when I look at my mother strangely at home, I keep thinking of my mother when she is in bed with her older brother..
And how much I envy my older brother who shares love with such a mother.

“Hey.. Bastard.. Then talk. Then maybe not with mom.. Hmm.. Hm..”

“It’s okay, man. My older brother must have told me to do it with my mother. If she did, she would have been kicked out by her brother.”

“Are you going to just get kicked out? You are in my hands.”

It’s not something to talk about between brothers, but the two of them were giggling while putting their heads together.

“Brother.. Remember? Since I was little, I followed everything my brother did. If there are any celebrities that hyung likes, I follow them, and since hyung only listens to metal songs, I’ve been listening to metal as well..
Maybe I came to love my mom and wanted to do it with her mom, maybe it was because I followed her older brother.

I tried to talk to my mom or my older brother, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I feel ashamed, I feel sorry for hyung, and I get along so well with my mom and hyung, but I don’t think there’s a place for me… Well…

She is suffering from heartache all by herself, but if she sees her mother after school, she will go crazy.
Like her older brother, I also thought of saying that I love my mother and attacking her, and I was just masturbating several times a day while thinking about my mother… I really thought I was going crazy at that time.
So I don’t want it to go on like this, and it hurts her that she can’t see her mother, but she has no choice but to go to her father.”

As Seongjin smiled, she tapped Seonghun on the shoulder as if she did well, or as if she understood.

“Sorry. I really had no idea you were like that.”

“No. Hyung.. Well.. Now I also.. Hmm.. Hm..”

Seonghun was about to say something, but suddenly laughed to himself.
It was a joyful smile, like that of a child who found a wallet on the road and secretly hid it.

“But what about the story that the stepmom is three months pregnant all of a sudden? What are you talking about?”

Seongjin was curious about the fact that Seonghun kept talking about her mother and that her stepmother’s child was Seonghun’s, so she quickly turned the fire on.

“Haa.. Sir.. This is really all because of you.”

However, Seong-hoon suddenly got angry with Seong-jin.

“What? A madman… I asked about my stepmother’s pregnancy, and suddenly, what is it because of me?”

“I saw an adolescent hot-blooded bastard do it with his older brother and mom, and you think it would be a complete accident?
She already knew that it was possible with her mother because of her mother and her older brother, but how can she put up with that when her young and pretty stepmom is always with her at home.
So this is all because of my brother. Is not it?”

“Uh? Uh? Is that… Is it? Sorry. Hey… Crazy man… Are you saying that now? What… Is there such an idiot like this?”

Sungjin hit Sunghoon in the back of the head.
Seonghun also rubbed the back of his head with his hand and laughed as he lowered his head and laughed.

Seongjin also laughed at Seonghun.
Seong-hoon, who can tell jokes to avoid making the atmosphere heavy while talking about his secret inner thoughts, which can be very serious in a way, has become a pleasant man before he knows it.

“By the way, when did you see me and my mom like that? Haha..”

Seongjin also didn’t want to drive her atmosphere seriously.
After all, Seong-Hun already knew everything about Seong-Jin’s relationship with her mother, and moreover, didn’t Seong-Hun follow his older brother and get her stepmother pregnant?
Seong-jin, who had already committed many sins, was not in a position to say anything about such Seong-hun.

“Oh, brother.. Do you think I’ve only seen two people do that once?
The first time I saw it was when I went to the beach with my mom and sister to play, right? I saw it for the first time then.. Well.. I saw it often at home after that.”

“How? I’m sure I did everything properly with the door lock…”

“Ha ha.. I already thought she was doing that with her older brother and mother, but I must have pretended not to know very well. I always secretly waited for the two of them to sleep and secretly went and watched them.
There were times when I opened the door and looked around, and there were times when I went outside and opened the window and looked around.
And isn’t it natural that mother and sister are screaming at her to leave her house like that all the time, but she can’t help but want to know? Then I secretly went there and stole it.. Keke..”

Sungjin had nothing more to say.

“Then what happened to her stepmother?”

“What.. That’s it.. Keke..”

Seong-hoon tries not to laugh, wondering what else makes him feel good, but his face can’t contain the laughter.

“Hmm.. Hmm.. Anyway, I went to her father’s house, and her stepmom was so pretty… So she got along well with her stepmom and stepmom. Then he found out shortly after entering high school that his father was cheating on him.”

“What? It was when my father had only been married for a year.”

“Huh. But I think it was because of me that my father remarried. She’s a stepmom 12 years older than her father, and she’s out of college now in her early 30s. Well… She got divorced once, but she’s elite and very beautiful. I was never going to marry my father. Now that I think about it, I think my father remarried to my stepmom so that he could take care of me.”

“Hmm..”

“Then, earlier this year, I saw my father cheating on me. I argued with my father for siding with my stepmom when I should have just passed on it. So the house was very upset.

But do you know what?”

After talking, Seonghun suddenly looked at Seongjin seriously.

“She was older and much uglier than her stepmom, the woman with whom her father had an affair. But strangely, my father was killed by that woman and couldn’t live.
Because her stepmother will forgive her, even if she tells her to break up right away, her father will not be able to break up with her even if he dies.
So my father didn’t even come to her house for a while and lived with her.

At first, I thought that such a father was strange, but he knew why after seeing her for the first time. She looked a lot like that woman my mother. Of course, my mom is much prettier, but the moment she first saw her, she used to be my mom when she lived on the roof. She’s very much like that image.”

Seong-jin felt that a corner of his chest was in pain again.
I don’t know if it was something like longing for what had been taken away from her, but her father didn’t seem to have forgotten her mother until the end.

“So her father and her stepmom had a big fight and the father left. That day, she said that her stepmom was very upset, so we had a drink together and she talked a lot.

But my father hadn’t had sex with her stepmom for over a year after he got married. And she said her stepmom already knew her father was cheating on her, and she wasn’t one or two women.
Maybe my father was looking for a girl who looked just like my mother.

So, she was drinking and talking with her stepmom, so she got drunk, and she leaned on me, and she looked so pretty when she was drunk, so I kissed her, well. I threw it away.”

Seongjin looked at her dumbfounded at Seonghun’s story, which she spoke so confidently.

“Ah.. Hyung.. There’s something I’ve been watching with my brother, my mom, and my sister…”

Seeing Seongjin’s embarrassing face, Seonghun spoke confidently and smiled again.

“This bastard is going to be in big trouble. That is rape.”

“It’s not rape. On that day, she said that she actively accepted her stepmother as well.. Hmm.. Hmm..
Well .. Anyway .. So she has been living with her stepmom and me so far instead of her father as her husband and wife. Then she recently found out that her stepmom was pregnant and had been thinking a lot about what to do. Will she divorce her dad and live with me.. Or will the two of them just run away..
A.. This was all done according to the older brother. So it’s your brother’s responsibility.”

“Haha… Crazy man. Even older brothers and sisters have something to imitate. It’s ridiculous.”

In the end, when the father died, the child in the belly of the stepmother became Sung-hoon’s younger brother.
No matter what you do, the result is that older brother’s younger brother…
Her daughter wasn’t enough, so she was Sung-jin, who now had her nephew.

Seongjin put another cigarette in her mouth and she thought about this and that.

“Hey.. You bastard. You study hard And definitely go to the Department of Architecture. Okay? You now have a wife to protect, and you have children. I will hand over that company to you.. Work hard. Ha … This cub. “

Seongjin suddenly hit Seonghun in the back of the head.

“Ah.. Mr.. Why are you hitting me again? It hurts.”

“What? Baby… Mr? Why do you hit Hey.. Where is the bastard with no ability..”

“Ah Okay. Brother. Wait for a sec..”

Seongjin continued to hit Seonghun on the back of the head and back with the palm of his hand, and Seonghun raised his hand to stop Seongjin.

“Hyung.. Don’t worry really. I will definitely protect my woman and my baby.”

Seonghun, who had been pretending to be sick by rubbing his head and back, suddenly lit up his eyes and clenched his fists.
Looking at Sung-Hoon, Seong-Jin somehow felt like she was seeing herself when she was 17 years old, and Seong-Hun, who only looked younger, looked different to her.

“Okay. That mindset was enough.”

Seongjin liked the look in Sunghoon’s eyes.
Seongjin raised her hand and smiled at Seonghun.

“Hyung, by the way, have you contacted your mother?”

“No..”

Seong-jin couldn’t even come to her funeral, and her heart ached at the thought of her mother suffering all alone in her house.

“Be good to your mother. If I bring tears to her mother’s eyes, I won’t really stay still. Okay? Stop increasing the number of women…”

“What. This crazy bastard stop going in You idiot.”

Embarrassed at being told to stop adding more women, Seongjin got angry for no reason and put his arm around Seonghun’s shoulders and pulled her into a tight hug as if strangling her.
