“···Min Yeo-ju.”
“Min Yoongi..? Why are you here?”
Late at night, he woke up to someone knocking on his door, and when he went out, he saw Min Yoongi drenched in rain.
The quiet house began to fill with Yoon-gi's voice mixed with the sound of heavy rain as the door opened.
“I left home.”
“…That can’t be true.”
Yeo-ju paused for a moment at Yoon-ki's words, then leaned against the front door and spoke to him. "Of course not. Min Yoon-ki was Min Hye-jun's dog. He was an obedient dog. Others might not know, but Min Yeo-ju thought so herself.
So, the very fact that Min Yoongi left the house is impossible. Yoongi bowed his head and spoke to the woman.
“It’s true, I left home.That's because of you too.”
The woman, who hadn't seen Yoon-ki in the dimly lit hallway with his bangs drenched in rain, finally caught a glimpse of him as the hallway light flickered on as soon as he finished speaking. Furthermore, Yoon-ki's scars were even more apparent as he brushed his bangs back with one hand, as if uncomfortable.
The heroine, who had been standing still for a moment, opened the front door wide and spoke to Yoon-ki.
“Come in first. What are you talking about with that tail?”
"···thanks."
The female protagonist sighed and threw a towel at Yoongi, who was quietly grateful for the female protagonist's words.

"Now explain. Why did that good son of the royal family fight with his father and leave home?"
“And what do you mean it’s because of me?”
The female protagonist spoke as soon as Yoon-gi finished washing up and came out after giving him a shower room, towel, large t-shirt, and pants.
As if he had expected such a heroine, Yoon-gi came out of the shower, dried his hair with a towel, and spoke without hesitation.
“You went to the hospital. Your father knew.”
"what?"
When the female protagonist frowned at Yoon-ki's words, Yoon-ki stopped drinking water for a moment and then moved his hand again and spoke.
"So, you found out I was trying to hide your records, so you were called to the CEO's office. And then you resisted and got beaten up."
“…Then what on earth is my fault?”
“Because your father told you not to worry about him. He called you a monster.”
He said he rebelled a lot because he was told to turn people into yama.
At Yoon-ki's words, the female protagonist, who was twirling her hair, stopped her fingers and looked at Yoon-ki.
“···You hate me, Min Yoongi.”
“I don’t hate it. In fact, I liked it.”
"what?"
Yeoju was at a loss for words. The one who had tormented her so much, the one who had hated her so much, the older brother who had said such things, was naturally dumbfounded. Yoongi, sensing Yeoju's reaction, spoke.
“Father told me not to give it to you.”
“As you know, after that day… I was too scared to approach you.”
"That's why your father used that as a weakness to pressure you into not going to school. You've never once rebelled against him, and since your livelihood depends on him, you just did whatever he said. Like an idiot."
"But, I won't do that anymore. I'll protect you. I'm sorry."
Unlike Yoon-gi's straight eyes, Yeo-ju's eyes were shaking without a trace. The brother she hated so much suddenlyYou're apologizing. And...That dayWhat the heck is this?
“Brother.”
"…huh."
"I can't trust you, oppa. I still vividly remember how you tormented me. I can't sleep because of it. I even take medication these days."
“So… please help me trust you.”
Prove to me that what I said today wasn't a lie.
Yoon-ki nodded, knowing how much courage it must have taken for Yeo-ju to say something like that. Yeo-ju's stiff body began to relax slightly, and she handed him the package of medicine.
“I’ll take care of your wounds… I’ll go to bed first. Go to any room and sleep.”
“Thank you, Min Yeo-ju.”
“Well... it’s not a big deal to let them sleep.”
“Besides that, thank you for trusting me.”
Thank you all.
The female protagonist, who had been frozen in place at Yoon-ki's words, raised the corners of her mouth slightly and went back into the room. The tangled relationship between the female protagonist and Yoon-ki was slowly unraveling.
