My Younger Brother is a Hero Chapter 32

Updated: Feb 10

32.

 

“Ughaaaa!”

 

The fairy, who was hanging upside down, screamed.

 

“Save me, save me! You cannot do this! This is a breach of contract.”

 

Although she screamed desperately, there was no one here to help the fairy. 

 

“Please let me go!”

 

“Nope.”

 

“Alberg-nim!”

 

The fairy whimpered and shouted the name of the demon that laid languidly in front of her.

 

“If you want to be released, tell me where Hyeon-woo went.”

 

“No. No. Although the portal has been opened, it‘s still an area you can’t go to. Albert-nim can’t go!” 

 

“I decide whether to go or not.”

 

“Ughaaaa!”

 

The fairy fluttered even though she was tied up.

 

‘I’m sorry!’

 

However, no matter how you go on a rampage, reality did not change. My master wouldn’t care much if one or two fairies disappeared. Because there were so many fairies. Wouldn’t it be better to tell him than to suffer endless torture like this? The fairy wept.

 

***

 

It was Do-jin who returned to the Seon-Hyeon Guild first. As soon as he arrived, he was greeted by Chan-young, who had dark bags under his eyes, and Hyeon-woo, who looked more comfortable than him.

 

“I’m here.”

 

“You’re back?”

 

Hyeon-woo rubbed his eyes and greeted him. Seeing Hyeon-woo like this, Do-jin stopped for a moment. It was because he wasn’t used to being welcomed by someone. Ever since Ye-won disappeared, no one had welcomed me with the slightest bit of interest.

 

“It was hard, wasn’t it?”

 

Do-jin took a step back without realizing that Hyeon-woo was approaching him. Then, Hyeon-woo came closer. There was a grim look on his face as he approached.

 

“Why are you running away?”

 

Run away? I thought of running away? He had to say no, but his mouth didn’t open.

 

“Come here. It must have been hard, so take a break.”

 

Then, he tapped the sofa. He was drawn to the gesture and lay down on the sofa, when he put a blanket over him. Perhaps it could have been that Hyeon-woo was wearing it the whole time, that he could sense its scent in the softness. Do-jin didn’t know what expression to make.

 

Seeing the two of them, Chan-young sighed in relief. Now that there was someone to protect Hyeon-woo, I would only have to deal with the American Guild, who occasionally came and gave trouble.

 

‘Things are definitely weird.’

 

Chan-young didn’t know if Seon-woo or Do-jin noticed. How many years had I been serving as a Deputy Guild Leader? In the meantime, the increased awareness caught the weirdness. He found it difficult to handle everything on his own.

 

‘Guild leader, please come back soon.’

 

Chan-young could only beg and pray again and again.

 

Fortunately, a few days later, Seon-woo arrived. At the same time, the American Guilds, who had been roasting Chan-young, no longer came. Although it freed him from the horrific entertainment, it was now time to point out the questionable part.

 

“Then you mean that no one has been by his side all this time?”

 

Seon-woo heard from Chan-young what had happened and put his hand on his forehead. Fortunately,  Hyung was unharmed, but if anything had happened, I would have regretted it deeply. Therefore, Seon-woo’s eyes looked at Chan-young as he calmed himself down. He knew he couldn’t help it, but his heart wouldn’t let it slip.

 

“Phoenix Guild.”

 

If the Guardian Guild represented justice in America, the Phoenix Guild was a little different. It was more inclined to personal interest than to establish justice. Therefore, the overall image of the Guardian Guild was much better than the Phoenix Guild.

 

“The only ones who came to visit were the Phoenix Guild, but people from the Guardian Guild and the Orochi Guild were also seen in the area.”

 

Several prominent guilds were seen, but it was no coincidence. It was obvious they were trying to get in touch with the first generation in some way.

 

“Is there anything else?”

 

“I heard that the team leader also spotted another suspicious Awakened.” 

 

“Did you find out who it was?”

 

“I haven’t figured it out yet, but my guess is they’re a domestic person.”

 

Upon hearing that, an organization immediately came to mind. The Hunter Administration. The clues that had been separated began to come together.

 

‘Kim Cheol-su.’

 

He was the current director of the Hunter Administration. To be precise, he was a great person who could work with foreign countries for his own gain. If the dungeons in Kenya were the cause of the Phoenix Guild and the domestic dungeons by the Hunter Administration, then everything made sense.

 

My Hyung didn’t want anything big. He just said he wanted to rest quietly. They were the ones he should be angry at for daring to try such a thing. They probably had wondered what power he had.

 

I was originally just slightly displeased with the Hunter Administration, but now a bad feeling had arisen.

 

‘You have to think.’

 

This time it passed safely, but there was no way it would be like that in the future. So, in order to protect my Hyung, I had to be a bit more stronger. Whether it be influence or power.

 

Seon-woo took a deep breath and pushed his feelings down. Since it was time to meet my Hyung again.

 

“Seon-woo!”

 

As soon as he saw Hyeon-woo running warmly, Seon-woo embraced him.

 

“Hyung.”

 

Since being reunited, he thought that he wouldn’t break down anymore. As they had been apart for 10 years, Seon-woo thought this brief separation would be okay, but he was mistaken. I thought I would go crazy because I missed him so much.

 

Ignoring Do-jin, who greeted him from behind, Seon-woo enjoyed the greetings with his Hyung. He clung onto Hyeon-woo’s back, trying not to fall.

 

“Ughoo, I’m still young.”

 

Hyeon-woo was casually wallowing around with his younger brother, one head bigger than him. But he could only be lazy for a bit. Seon-woo had a lot of work to do.

 

“Can’t you rest?”

 

Even though it was sad to say, Seon-woo only shook his head.

 

“I’m the Guild Leader. It’s necessary.”

 

Seon-woo had no intention of leaving his position. It would be nice to hang out with his Hyung. I would be happy. But what if there was danger? Seon-woo was strong, but there were limits to what an individual could do. There were some things that could only be solved by a group of people.

 

“I’m sorry too.”

 

Seon-woo, who looked back at his brother’s affectionate face several times, returned to his daily life. So, the time Hyeon-woo spent with Do-jin naturally increased.

 

“Do-jin-ssi, you said you were also a Guild Leader. Is it okay to stay here?”

 

“It’s okay. Most of my work is handled by the Deputy Guild Leader.” 

 

Was that really okay? Then, what if the guild got stolen by the Deputy Guild Leader? Did he think too negatively of himself? Hyeon-woo laid down and stared at Do-jin.

 

“It’s fine. I was going to give up the Guild Leader position anyway.”

 

“Isn’t it a guild that you built up with difficulty?”

 

“I’ve accomplished my purpose, so I don’t need it anymore.”

 

The way he spoke seemed relentlessly cold. As he blinked at his unexpected answer, Do-jin explained further as if he had noticed him.

 

“Even without me, the guild will run well. If it’s a path that is maintained by one person’s strength, it might be better without me.”

 

“I don’t think so.”

 

As I got to know Do-jin, I felt that he was a person he could rely on in many ways. And he was also a good man. I don’t know why he was saying that.

 

At Hyeon-woo’s words, Do-jin looked down at him quietly. There was an awkward atmosphere for a moment. Well, it must be strange for a third party to intervene if he said that. Even knowing that, the words that went out were different from what he thought.

 

“Ye-won Noona said that her oppa was a very kind person.”

 

“A good person.”

 

Do-jin’s expression darkened.

 

“I don’t know. Whether I am a good person or not.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Ye-won was a kind and affectionate child. So I tried my best to become an oppa Ye-won wouldn’t be ashamed of.”

 

“Then, your efforts paid off. Ye-won Noona never once said anything bad about her Oppa. He was nice, sweet, and kind.”

 

He repeated the formula he had said many times.

 

“She said that her Oppa’s such a perfect person.”

 

“Did Ye-won really say that?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Do-jin lowered his head and covered his face with his hands.

 

“Those are undeserved statements. To me.”

 

His voice was no longer heard after that. And Do-jin kept his mouth shut. Hyeon-woo didn’t say any more. He just reached out and touched Do-jin’s knee as if to comfort him.

 

***

 

Seon-woo was full of dissatisfaction. He returned early, and because he tried to turn down as many events in the schedule as possible, what welcomed him was a mountain of work. He felt like he wanted to be by his Hyung’s side, but there were some things they couldn’t solve without him. So, he was forced to go downstairs.

 

Even at this time, Hyung must be with Han Do-jin. I didn’t like it, but it couldn’t helped. It was best to finish the job as soon as possible and go back to Hyung’s side.

 

Seon-woo was busy working with that in mind, and later, the secretary announced that a guest had arrived.

 

“Guest?”

 

There shouldn’t be any guests coming now. Maybe the Phoenix Guild came again. Seon-woo got up from his seat and adjusted his clothes. At this opportunity, he was about to give a firm warning. However, the person who came to visit was not what Seon-woo thought he was.

 

“Choi Moo-hyuk.”

 

It was Choi Moo-hyuk from the Hunter Administration.

 

“Send him up.”

 

- Yes.

 

Not long after that, Choi Moo-hyuk visited the Guild Leader’s room.

 

“Hello?”

 

“I can’t greet you right now. What are you here for?”

 

Seon-woo reacted sensitively. It was only natural because he belonged to the Hunter Administration, which he suspected to have been behind the recent strange occurance. They weren’t on good terms either.
