🔸️KANG YO HAN🔸️

His felted step reached my sullen figure, slumped against the back of the chair in front of a small table, filled with drinks and appetisers; soaking in the jazz music coming from the speakers on the walls.

I did not even look up, waiting for my brother to sit across from me.

-Good evening, little brother...-

Isaac poured himself a shot of red wine into his stem glass, shifting his attention between me and his drink.

-I heard you got yourself a nice country family, what is it? Are you trying to redeem yourself ? To make a new life away from us?-
His talk came with mockery, an attempt to denigrate every single thing I was trying to improve on. Change.
I did not answer, merely limiting myself to listen to his hollow, cavernous speech.

-What's the matter? Have you lost your tongue?- he moved quickly,
lifting my chin up toward him, his fingernails intentionally clenched around my jaw.

-Look at my face!- he spoke lividly, nailing his dark eyes on me.
His black pits, thick hair polished with gel into a neat comb-over.

I watched that face I knew well, that sly, sadistic scowl.

Sometimes innocent but capable of abominable things.

An atrocious resemblance to Kim Ga On, almost as if they were twins born of the same mother, yet with a different fate.

Isaac was the antagonist made flesh, it was like seeing the rotten version of Kim Ga on before my eyes, and the only difference between the two, was that one liked me and the other disliked me.

One was a stranger while the other was my brother.

-Do you really think you can outrun your sinful nature, Yo han?- he taunted me, widening his lips in an amused grin.

I slapped his hand away from my face, staring at him grudgingly.

-Father, better not know about this happy little family you've found for yourself...- Isaac paused, returning to sit composedly, lowering his eyes again to his cup.

-Seriously, Yo han, Did you really go looking for someone like me?
A doppelganger? Do you love me so much that you want me with you at every moment?-

I narrowed my eyes at his impetuous words, feeling a deep ache in my chest, a chasm in my stomach. And it was the reason why I hated him, why I wanted to stay as far away as possible from my toxic family.
As they only seemed to awaken in me, the things that were not supposed to see the light, neither walk among the living beings.

-Don't be so stupid. I did not choose that family for these futile reasons- I replied coldly, speaking for the first time.

Isaac stretched his arms, slightly unbuttoning the white shirt he was wearing.

-I specifically chose that family for Kim Ga on...-

My elder brother twisted his mouth, tilting his head to the side a little, enough to observe me better, the corners of his lips turned upward.

-Because our father, could never kill him, for you know well as I, that he would annihilate anyone at any time except for us... We are his weak point- I said confidently, managing to scratch isaac's mischievous personality.
