Step Brother Next Door!!
Miserable Life
In the small attic room a boy was crying silently while cursing his fate.
????
Why God?? Why?? Why my fate is so cruel??
????
My family didn't like me. They treated me like I am nothing to them.They never loved me or cared about me😭😭
????
My parents just married for business purpose so they only gave priority to there interest. I tried everything to get there recognition but they were still cold to me. What was my fault god???😭😭
Hwang Young Hee(Tae's Mother)
*Shouting* Tae!! Tae!! Come down now!!!
Yes, the boy who was crying was none other then tae.
Tae heard his mothers voice and quickly wiped his tears as he came down
Taetae
Ye...yes mother? What happened??
Hwang Young Hee(Tae's Mother)
Damn brat, I told you to wash all the dishes in the basin but you were lazing around huh??
Taetae
I...I am sorry mother, I was ju..just tired so..so took some re..rest...I will quickly go and wash dishes.
Hwang Young Hee(Tae's Mother)
Humph!! Wash dishes and help your brother to do his homework.
With that tae went to wash dishes.
Tae's real father was dead when he was 5 years old. His real father was also always cold to him and never spared him glance.
After a year his mother decided to marry a man she loves, but she just couldn't let go of the Kim property.
Even though tae's father was cold and distant, he left all his property under tae's name. Tae will be able to claim it when he turns 18, till then property will be handle by someone. The name of the person was not mentioned in the will written by tae's father. So Young Hee could only wait till tae turns 18.
This was the reason she took tae with her
Young hee would always be enraged after seeing tae because tae's father always treated her like air. She started abusing tae once she remarried. she made tae do all the house work.
Young hee's new husband also didn't like tae so he didn't used to interfere when young hee used to abuse him.
When young hee had the child with her new husband. She started treating tae more badly.
Taetae
Mo..mother I am done with washing dishes. I will go and help my..bro..brother now.
Hwang Young Hee(Tae's Mother)
Help him finish all his homework. Make sure to make no mistakes If his teachers scold him then I will beat you to death.
As tae was heading upstairs he saw his step father coming out from the study. He looked frustrated
Hwang Young Hee(Tae's Mother)
*Notices Sung Dong aka her new husbands frustrated look* What happened honey??
Sung Dong(Tae's Step Father)
That damn brat, I asked him to tell grandfather to help me in business but he just hung up on me. If it was not important I wouldn't have even thought about him.
Hwang Young Hee(Tae's Mother)
Ohh you mean your son.
Sung Dong(Tae's Step Father)
Yes!! That brat has grown some wings.
Hwang Young Hee(Tae's Mother)
I would have been able to help you if I had Kim property under my grasps. That damn man gave his all property to son and we will have to wait till he turns 18.
Tae who hid near the corner of the staircase heard this all. This was nothing new to him, he had promised his mother to give her property under the conditions of letting him go when he turns 18.
But suddenly tae's memory drifted to the day when his step brother who was the son of sung dong and his previous wife leaving the house with old man. Tae wanted to say sorry to him but he couldn't bring himself too. When he looked at his step brother he saw that his eyes were cold. His aura was telling everyone to stay away from him.
That was the only time when tae saw his step brother, but god knows why tae didn't felt scared of him instead he wanted to get close to his step brother but he didn't dare because he knew his step brother must hate him very much.
Taetae
If only we were not brothers, then may be if I had chance I would have able to make friends with my step brother. *he mumbled and went to his second step brothers room to help him in homework*
Tae was about to open his second step brothers door when he heard loud commotion downside.
Grandfather
Tae quickly came downstairs to look what happened.
Hwang Young Hee(Tae's Mother)
What are you guys doing??? Leave my husband!! Don't arrest him, I believe there is some sort of misunderstanding.
Police Officers
Ms. Hwang We are doing our work so please don't interfere or else we will have to take action against you.
Your husband is envolve in black dealing and had killed many people for his profits. I hope you understand what this means
Hwang Young Hee(Tae's Mother)
I don't f*cking care!! I said leave him!! How can you take him to jail. What will happen to my child. Ahhhh leave him you bastards. *Tried to attack policemens but failed*
Police Officers
*Angry* Lady we are arresting you under the offence of trying to police.
Sung Dong(Tae's Step Father)
Don't touch her, Do you know who I am?? How dare you arrest me?? You will have to face consequences. *Enraged*
Police Officers
We will see that in jail for now please follow us.
Hwang Young Hee(Tae's Mother)
*Saw tae from corner of her eyes*
*Makes herself free from policewoman grip and runs towards tae*
Hwang Young Hee(Tae's Mother)
*Slaps tae* You bastard, You jinx, see what have you done, you have jinxed you father now. I should have killed you when you were born. Today I will beat you to death. *Tried to hit him but was held back by someone.
Taetae
*closed his eyes and was waiting to get hit but he didn't felt the pain that he expected so he opened his eyes*
Police officers were coming to stop young hee but before them a bodyguard in black suit stop her from hitting tae. Then hall was filled with many bodyguards. Then everyone saw old man in black suit entering the villa with dark aura around him
Tae's Grandfather
You wrench girl!!! How dare you raise your hand against my grandson!! You must be courting death. *looks towards police officers* Officers please take them to the custody.
Police Officers
Yes Mr. Kim
With that officers took away young hee and sung dong who were shouting and struggling.
Taetae
*Tae was standing on the staircase and looking at the old man who just declared him as his grandfather.* *Tae was shocked, He never knew he had a grandfather*
Tae's Grandfather
Ta...tae *choked* Tae my..my child. I am sorry, Can you forgive your gran.. grandfather for coming late? *Eyes redden*
Taetae
*Tae knew that old man in front of him was not faking his concern. He was genuinely worried about him. But he couldn't utter a word because he had many questions. Where was he when his father gave him cold shoulder?? Where was he when his mother took him away?? Where was he when his mother abused him??*
Tae's Grandfather
*looking at tae he understood what tae maybe thinking* Child I know you have many questions. I will answer them one by one but first come home with me.
Taetae
*tae's instinct told him to believe this old man. He had the feeling that everything will turn for good. But didn't dare to believe that because he had suffered a lot and now he had only one wish that is to live normally.*
Taetae
But..My step brother is up. What will happen to him??
Tae's Grandfather
He will be sent to his maternal family
Tae's Grandfather
Come *smiles*
Taetae
*Tae felt Warmth spreading his heart but he didn't show it on the face. He was scared too scared to open up his heart*
Next Heir Of Kim Empire
Tae and tae's Grandfather enter the hallway and sat on the sofa on the left
Tae's Grandfather
Do you want to freshen up first and then talk or...
Taetae
Is it okay if we talk now?? 🙂
Tae's Grandfather
Yes my child😊
Taetae
*He felt choked in his throat when he was going to speak* (No tae, no you can't cry now. don't show your vulnerable side wha..what if he has some Ill intentions later) *clear up throat* So I wanted to ask why did you came finding me now?? Do you need something from me?? Let me clear one thing, property is still not under my name and who has property rights now that I don't know I swear.
Taetae
I will be eligible to get property rights after I turn 18.
Taetae
So it's useless if you came here for me for property reasons.🙂
Tae's Grandfather
*Eyes redden* *hugs tae*
Taetae
*surprised by sudden hug but doesn't avoid it* (Why do I feel so warm in the heart when this person hugs me or care for me🥺. No I can't fall for anyone's act. Be strong tae)
Tae's Grandfather
My child, I didn't go to look for you for property.
Tae's Grandfather
*Rubs his fluffy hair* Dear, your dad's little property cannot be compare to mine so why would I want that.
Taetae
Then, why did you came looking for me now??
Tae's Grandfather
Alas!!! 😞 I didn't know I had grandchild at all!! It was few days before I came to know this, when I return back to City. I was so happy that I had grandchild.
Taetae
*He felt sour in throat, it was getting difficult for him to control his tears* (That..that means he didn't abandoned me right?? So can I be greedy for the more warmth. But wh...what if he is deceiving me)
Tae's Grandfather
Actually my health wasn't good. so I left to live on the our families island to recuperate.
Tae's Grandfather
I even got to know your dad married because my doctor had to come to this city to bring my medicines.
Tae's Grandfather
Alas!! I wanted that child to marry to someone he loves but he ignored my words.
Tae's Grandfather
Now look what happened!
Tae's Grandfather
*looks at tae expectantly* Umm.. so tae could you give this grandpa a chance to spoil his grandson.
Taetae
*Couldn't hold back his tears anymore* *Jumps in Grandfathers embrace* Waaahhhhhhhhh Grandpa, They bullied me. Everyone bullied me. My father was cold towards me, never talk to me an..and my mother sh..she started beating me after she remarried.
Tae's Grandfather
*Hugs him tightly* *Enraged because his grandson had to suffer a lot*
Tae's Grandfather
*Eyes moistened* Cry it all out child. There will no more grievance. Grandpa will always keep you happy.
Taetae
( I am giving myself a second chance. I hope my grandpa will not break my heart and betray me or else I can't take it anymore.)
Tae came out of the embrace of his grandfather.
He was bit uncomfortable living here, he has many bad memories here but he tried his best to not show it on the face.
Tae's Grandfather
*Noticed that tae was uncomfortable here* My child don't worry, we won't be living here
Taetae
*tilts his head in confusion* Then where grandpa??
Tae's Grandfather
*Smiled at cute face made by tae* We will be living in my friends home or you can say next door.☺️
Taetae
Why in your friends home??
Tae's Grandfather
Actually I have six old buddies. We have been best friends from childhood.
Tae's Grandfather
When we grew up we focused on our own families but never lost the contact of each other.
Tae's Grandfather
*Becomes serious* I wanted to tell you this later when you grow up. But I think it's better to tell you now
Taetae
What is it grandpa??
Tae's Grandfather
Actually me and my six buddies families lost there lifes. it was not purely because of accident. it was planned murder. My son and there sons and daughters died because someone planned it beforehand.
Tae's Grandfather
I got to know this when I came back here. One of my friends grandson investigated the case again and found the culprits
Tae's Grandfather
So it took us a whole month to trace the murder and wipe him out. it was also the reason why I came so late to you.
Tae's Grandfather
Now we old buddies have planned trip for ourselves after reunion. So you will live with my buddies grandsons.
Tae's Grandfather
Actually there also one reason we are letting you guys live together i.e. to help you learn from each other and support each other.
Taetae
So..so you are going to leave me at the end??🥺🥺
Tae's Grandfather
My boy..that's not the case. How can I leave my precious boy. But I want you to be strong and self reliant so that no one can bully you in future.
Taetae
*Tae now understood that his grandfather wanted him to be independent, so that no one can ever hurt him* (I am happy that I made right decision)
Taetae
Okay grandpa I will live with them.
Tae's Grandfather
And ahem..I wanted to tell you one more thing..that...hehe
Taetae
*Amused by grandpa's behaviour* What is it??
Tae's Grandfather
That...I am planning to make you next heir of Kims
Tae's Grandfather
I won't listen to any complaints against this. This is final!!! Now go..go freshen up your self and we will leave from here. *Stands up and runs to his room*
Taetae
*Helplessly laughs* So the boy who was once nothing suddenly became heir of the Kim empire. *determine* (My grandpa has trusted me so much, I won't let him down ever.)
