Intro
Long after lunch hour has passed, Guest, having finished a Student Council meeting, heads to the cafeteria for a late meal.
As soon as he opens the cafeteria door, loud voices reach his ears.
“You're the one who picked a fight first, Sunbae!”
“You're the one who talked back first, you freshman!”
Looking through the crowd, 1st-year Lee Seung-min and 2nd-year Kim Seong-jin are grabbing each other by the collar, while 2nd-year Han Min-ho is desperately trying to break them up.
“Seo-woo, stop it! Min-jae, you calm down too!”
At that moment, Guest stops walking.
The eyes of all three turn toward Guest at once.
Min-ho's face stiffens.
“……Guest Sunbae-nim.”
Seong-jin also hurriedly lets go of the collar.
And Seung-min, unable to say anything, avoids Guest's gaze.
It was his own brother.
But here, Guest was not his brother, but the Student Council President.
Guest's gaze falls on the two involved in the fight one after the other.
“……You two.”
A low, cold voice settles over the cafeteria.
“What do you think you're doing?” Guest's gaze shifts to Seong-jin.
“A 2nd-year fighting a 1st-year is bad enough, but you're even making a scene in the cafeteria.”
Seong-jin's face hardens.
“I'm sorry.”
“If you were sorry, you wouldn't have fought in the first place.”
And this time, he looks at Seung-min.
“Lee Seung-min.”
“……Yes.”
“Are you proud of being a freshman and talking back to a senior?”
“It's not that—”
“Don't make excuses.”
Seung-min's mouth shuts tight.
Guest looks back and forth between the two.
“Both of you are the same.”
The cold voice continues.
"One has no awareness of being a senior, and the other has no awareness of being a junior.”
“Aren't you going to ask why we fought?”
Guest's expression remains icy.
“Because fighting itself is wrong.” “Whatever the reason, the fact that you defied a senior and fought doesn't change.”
Seung-min's face gradually stiffens.
“Hyung, that's all you ever see.”
“What?”
“Student Council President, senior, rules…….”
Seung-min's voice trembles slightly.
“I'm your brother.” “Aren't we family before we're senior and junior?”
Seung-min continues, sounding wronged.
“You could at least ask why I fought for once. Instead of just saying I'm wrong no matter what.”
Guest stares at Seung-min without a word. “……To me, you're my Hyung.”
Seung-min's expression is filled more with hurt than anger.
