The echo of Jihoon's pained shout in the courtyard sent a shiver down the Su brothers' spines.
They took two involuntary steps back, their faces draining of color as they exchanged a glance filled with empathy and concern.
Witnessing Jihoon's distress firsthand, they couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy and a deep-seated desire to shield themselves from similar pain.
Their eyes met Jihoon's, now filled with pitiful understanding.
In that moment, they silently vowed to be more cautious and vigilant, determined to avoid experiencing the same kind of anguish that had led to Jihoon's shout.
This wasn't just about physical safety anymore; it was about protecting their emotional well-being as well.
