Chapter 5 - Dropping at the University

"Heck!!! I really forgot to set up the alarm!!! Ah! Damn him! I really couldn't sleep fast because of all the chaos last night! Aish! How am I going to get there before the professor bursts my ass? I have yet to finish up the summary documents of the research."

It was easily about 9 in the morning, as Ethan was jumping in chaos right from the morning. He seemed a bit panicked as he was picking up his books and notes lying around over his desk, throwing them all inside his backup, and jumping straight to his clothing.

"Damnit! What the heck is even going on in my life? It's been going way too casually! Suddenly, a big brother in life returns to life after vanishing for two decades... What the hell is even going on in here? He said he lived abroad till now, but still, his Korean is quite good, except for occasional accent slips! 

Just what the hell is going on in here? He dresses all rich, which might be even better than those second-generation hiers of my class, and what the hell with the grey hairs? They look sort of natural. Are they for real?"

"Shut up!"

Ethan just turned back to leave his room while muttering like crazy the whole time and was immediately greeted with a pillow straight on his face falling to the ground, absolutely stunned.

"What the..."

As Ethan removed the pillow from his face, he was greeted by Lucas's dazzling face, yawning while glaring at him with a frown on his face and all his hair falling wildly over his face.

"Why the heck are you so loud in the morning like some woman nagging from early morning, talking in monologue for almost 15 minutes like this? Are you crazy?"

Lucas coldly questioned while rubbing off his eyes and straightening wrinkles on his white sleeveless t-shirt.

"Fine, then sorry about it! H.Y.U.N.G!!! Now, excuse me since I'm late for my university! My mentor isn't vegetarian enough to not bake and eat me alive for missing the compulsory lecture today!"

Ethan had an annoyed frown on his face, and while growling at Lucas like an annoyed pup, he immediately rushed out of the room along with his backup while wearing a blue-black mix hoodie.

"Late for university? So you do go to university, huh?"

Lucas commented with a sort of look that showed a bit of interest in Ethan. Ethan didn't reply and instead opened up the main door to get out of the house, but as he opened the door, his gaze immediately fell over that classic series bike standing right in front of him.

As his gaze fell over the bike, his instinctive response was to turn his head back towards Lucas, who was drinking water from the fridge. With a slight awkward expression on his face, Ethan quietly replied back.

"I'm pursuing MBBS, the degree for doctors here; it's a 6-year programme, so I will need 2 more years for graduation and to get an intern position in some hospital."

"Ho~ seems like you will be already 30 by time you start some earning haha!"

Lucas laughed it off as the next second he grabbed the leather violet jacket he had brought along from the upstairs and, next, with a helmet in his hand, arrived right in front of Ethan.

"You called me 'Hyung' earlier, right? Call me again with a respectful manner, and I will give you the ride to your university before you get the tag of being 'late'"

Lucas blatantly mocked with that grin on his face as he stood right in front of Ethan, who was glaring at him with gritted teeth and eyes burning in fury. 

"Don't push it..."

"Haha! You might be hearing the exact words from that mentor of yours in a few minutes.

Lucas mocked even more; clearly, he was enjoying Ethan's frustration. Guess it's clear that no matter how separated siblings might be, they are always the demons gaining joy while making the other one suffer.

'Calling this bastard 'Hyung' is humiliation for generations to me! Fuck! He just suddenly pops up with the attitude! So what if he is rich? So what if he is handsome? So what if he—wait!'

Lucas's annoyed face suddenly turned into enlightenment, and his gaze moved over at Lucas's looks. Just his face alone can surpass the legendary idols of the country, not to mention the charm and style he had with him.

'Handsome... Rich... My brother? Same blood? Same parent? Same eyes! Then doesn't that mean if I show off this Greek God in front of my university, I might actually get the tag of a loner out of my face? Very well! You want to use me for your satisfaction and ego! Then I will use you for myself too! Get ready to be used, you damn scammer-looking brother!!!'

"Hyung!!! Now drop me off at the university! Fast! There are just 20 minutes left!"

Ethan's tone was suddenly brimming with respect and utter submission, almost wagging his tail in front of Lucas.

"What the fuck... No fun if it's that easy; you should face at least swung your first so I can kick your ass or something."

Lucas's mocking face also suddenly turned into a shocked and grim look with a frown as he muttered all that and placed the helmet right over his face.

"Tsk..."

With that, Lucas closed the door to the house. Not too long later, in front of Seoul National University College of Medicine, easily several miles away from Lucas's house, the students were seen rushing inside in a hurry.

"Run you fat ass! Professor Ji Young Baek will cook us alive! Just 5 minutes left before her lecture starts!"

"Huff! Huff! Even Metro was late! What can I do!?"

"Keep running! We are so done!"

"Ah! I will go through physical therapy, guys, before returning today."

The road outside the university was all packed today. It was the usual scene at such a time when most classes usually just start right about now, but at that moment, heavy attention was attracted by the sound of a heavy bike running in their direction.

"Uwaaaaaa! Awaa! Awaa! Awaa! Slow down, you damn--Aafff!"

Ethan's mouth was smashed straight over Lucas's helmet as he stopped the bike right in front of the university gate with a smirk written on his face.

"Get down now, you fool... Want me to babysit you all the way to class inside?"

Lucas scoffed while slowly taking off his helmet and straightening the hair falling on his face.

"Can't you drive with peace in mind?"

"Rest in peace."

Ethan was more annoyed over the reply, and while checking on his teeth, he silently went down from the bike, but before he could leave, Lucas's gaze fell over the university.

"Woah~ you might earn late, but you will earn a lot, huh~ to think you were the one with brains in my family?"

"The fuck is with the face! I'm born smart! Tsk! I'm leaving since it's late for my classes now!"

Ethan shouted and immediately started to leave, but before he could walk more than two steps, suddenly Lucas stopped him while casually grabbing his hoodie like he was lifting a pup from the back.

"Why so fast~ here for the launch?"

Ethan was annoyed, but as he turned his head, the large, shining bills caught his attention. He grabbed the money and immediately turned back towards Lucas, giving a straight 90° bow like some devotee.

"I'm always grateful for your blessings! Hyung!!!"

His words were heard by everyone in that area because of his loud voice and such eye-catching reactions. Lucas, on the other hand, just scoffed hard while equipping his helmet.

"It's not a blessing, it's a salary; make me sandwitch later, bitch!"

Lucas commented with a quiet tone and immediately left the place. He came like a storm and left like a tornado, catching all the attention of people nearby.

"Hyung?! Hyung!?!! Did I hear that right?"

"Isn't that guy Ethan Kim? The 4th year student! That's his hyung?"

"Holy shit! It's already been 4 years! I never even heard of his Hyung!"

"They look so close! He even got pocket money before leaving; it seems like his brother really likes him!!!"

Ethan wasn't unaware of all the comments going around in the surrounding area, as he just grinned and rushed inside the university gates with a smug look on his face as all the students nearby were looking at him, all curious and excited.

'Mission, Mr. Popular! Successful!!! Reward! Additional 30,000 Won! Extra reputation! Extra attention! Plus, avoid the professor's rage!'

Ethan was smug all the way as he moved inside the university. Meanwhile, not much far away from him, a group of students were also looking at all that incident with surprised faces.

"What the..."

"Was that Lucas Kim?"

"He has a younger brother at our university."

"What a surprise..."

A sudden grin emerged over those faces as they started to take out the phones from their pockets with a grin over their faces, and one of them dialled up a number with a smirk as she reported

"Noona, we found the guy."
