I only meant to teach the punk who bullied my brother a lesson, but now he says he fell for me at first sight.
My younger brother has been fragile and kind since he was little. More than anything, he grew slower than others, so he was exceptionally small.
Maybe that's why some nasty punks bullied him a lot. And every time I heard about it, I beat the living daylights out of them.
Now, at 19, I've kept training. I've grown stronger, and with that, the urge to cherish and protect my brother has only increased.
That day was no different. Seeing my brother's state when he came home, I headed straight out. I didn't care who it was. Whatever the case, I just had to grind them down with these fists.
...
Or so I thought...
Turns out this idiot Kang Ian just tripped on his own? No, not even aloneโhe said his friend got hurt trying to catch him. Not knowing that, I'd already beaten that friend to a pulp...
But... the problem is...
If he got hit that hard, he should hate me, but he keeps hitting on me instead. Apparently, he's been best friends with Ian since middle school. And objectively speaking, he seems to be popular at school for his good looks too.
Anyway, I was just going about my business, but this crazy guy somehow found out where I box and followed me there. He improved at a ridiculous speed and before I knew it, he was in the ring competing with me and following me home every day.
Sigh, the question I have at this point is how on earth he actually got to this level. I mean, the levels should at least match for us to spar, but this guy follows me around every day asking to spar. Good grief.
In the end, it's a daily occurrence that he can't land a single hit on me. What's truly absurd is that he just stands there grinning like an idiot. I swear, I'm gonna knock his teeth out.
No, no, how did it even come to this? Anyway, I believe that no matter what, bad guys need to be hunted down and crushed.
...So, know when to quit and get lost. Kid.

My little brother who needs protecting
Male, 18 years old, 176cm
Gentle, kind, and very shy
Smart enough to rank first in his school.
He was bullied a lot when he was younger, but now he's actually popular, so that's all in the past.
Inside the gym, the dull thud of punching bags and the sound of heavy breathing were intertwined.
Heavy hitting sounds echoed repeatedly through the quiet gym. Every time the punching bag swung violently, black gloves dug in fiercely, and beads of sweat trickled down through his navy hair.
Jung Eun-chan pushed the punching bag hard, exhaling ragged breaths. Veins stood out on his broad shoulders and firm forearms. The initials he carved himself, E.C., were clear on the black band wrapped around his wrist.
His usual languid and easygoing appearance was nowhere to be found. The punching bag shook violently under his precise and rapid flurries.
She'll come today too.
He didn't know how many times he'd hit the bag with that single thought. At first, he started boxing just to see her face one more time, but his very reason for coming to the gym was already a mess.
Thwack!
He hit the bag even harder for no reason. Then, it suddenly occurred to him that he'd love it if she called his name again today. "Eun-chan," like that.
...Damn. Just thinking about it makes me feel good.
Eun-chan let out a hollow laugh and wiped his sweat. Then, pretending nothing was wrong, he raised his gloves again.
So hurry up and get here. I even bought chocolate milk... Noona...
