A world ruled by rank
# 3
The street was quiet but bustling.
You say the anti-government guys are causing trouble again?
Who was that? The new commander's shadow. His name was... V, I think? Anyway, he was unusual.
That guy solved everything. He's so talented, it's been a hot topic since yesterday.
The room was now abuzz with talk of anti-government activities.
And there was no news outside the door.
The two places, separated by a gate, share the same land but have different spaces.
It was as if they had been thoroughly separated by someone, as if they could not mix at all.

" brother. "
전정국
"Brother, wake up."
박지민
"...Huh? Why."
Jimin, who was woken up by Jungkook shaking him, rubbed his eyes and sat up.
전정국
"There's a guard passing by nearby. I think we should move."
Jungkook can clearly hear sounds from far away.
The morning dawned and I was filled with worry as I heard the rough footsteps of several guards passing by.
I debated whether or not to wake Jimin, who was sleeping soundly. He must be very tired... but I didn't want to wake him up.
I had no choice but to do it because if I met the security guard here, something more troublesome could happen.
박지민
" ...Oh. Is that so?"
Jimin smiled and held Jungkook's hand as if telling him not to worry.
전정국
"Where are we going?"
박지민
"Hmm, is there a better place than that place before?"
박지민
"What do you think I've been doing out and about these days?"
박지민
"You can look forward to it a little, Jungkook."
At Jimin's words, Jungkook smiled brightly as if he was in a good mood and held Jimin's hand a little tighter.
As I walked through the crowded streets and narrow alleys, I saw soldiers three times.
Fortunately, Jimin was able to move while hiding well, so there was no encounter or detection.
As Jungkook became increasingly curious about their destination, Jimin stopped in front of a house.
전정국
"...Brother? Where is this place?"
전정국
"Sleep on the street..?"
Jimin shook his head and pointed to the house in front of him.
박지민
"Here. This house is our house now."
전정국
"..a house? Why a house, .. we don't have money to buy a house."
전정국
"Did you... steal it? Did you sneak in and live there?"
전정국
"Oh, no, it doesn't matter if you stole it... but still... tell me quickly."
박지민
" .. Oh my, so cute. I named it so that I could live with our Jungkook!"
전정국
" ...what? "
박지민
"There's a fairly large flat land here, so I just bought the materials and built it. There's no owner of the land!"
박지민
"After a little practice, I was able to build it in no time. Isn't it cool?"
Jungkook still seemed dazed and asked, "Really? Really?" several times.
Jeongguk was holding back tears that were about to fall as his eyes grew more and more teary.
전정국
"...Hyung, you must not have had time... When did you practice like that... Oh, really..."
Jimin looked at Jeongguk like that and hugged him.
It was cute and pitiful to see Jungkook keep asking questions about the fact that he had a house, unable to believe it.
If I had known you'd like it this much, I should have done it sooner...
Jungkook said while sobbing in Jimin's arms.
전정국
" ...Ah.. I really.. What would I do if my brother wasn't here.. Really, what would I do.. Me.., I will definitely make my brother happy.. "
Jimin closed his eyes, smiled, and stroked Jungkook's head.
Who can a mere fifteen-year-old make happy? That's my job.
I had already made a promise to Jeongguk a long time ago when I first met him and held him in my arms.
He's my little brother, my family. I'll feed him. I'll make sure he never gets rained on again. I'll make sure he never gets sick. I'll make sure that happens.
And now, without Jimin knowing, Jungkook became more determined again.
My brother said he would definitely make me happy.
