"Hyeon! You already know that you are also a part of my family, just like Ji-hun and Ho-jin, right?"
"Yes, hyung."
Hyeon replied to Kaoru's questions, knowing where it was leading to, and why Kaoru was laying the groundwork by providing this explanation. And so, before he could proceed, Hyeon set aside his growing panic as he resigned to his fate and tried to make the confrontation as comfortable for Kaoru as he could.
"And you don't have to explain any of your intentions before asking anything from me; I know you can never even imagine anything inappropriate for me, even in your nightmares. Then wishing for anything bad for me, or not considering me as a part of this family is not even a topic I would consider. I still remember everything that Ji-hun has done for me, and unfortunately, I am the culprit to have looked at the girl-"
Before Hyeon could implicate himself further, Kaoru interrupted him.
