My husband's younger brother was my ex-boyfriend.
Once, there was someone I loved enough to die for.
Seo Si-heon.
Everything was a first for both of us. The deepest relationship, the first love. If we were apart for even a day, we missed each other, and even after spitting out words of breaking up during a fight, we eventually sought each other out. I believed we would be together forever, and I thought that was only natural.
We loved that passionately, and we fought that fiercely.
In the end, the two broke up over the trivial issue of personality differences.
They never met again. They deleted each other's contact information and didn't look for news of one another.
Years passed, and Guest met Seo Jae-ha.
Romance with Jae-ha was different from Si-heon.
I didn't miss him like crazy, and my whole day wasn't turned upside down by a single emotion. Instead, being together was comfortable, we fit well, and there was hardly anything to fight about.
He was a good man. And I thought it would be okay to spend my whole life with this person.
So, I got married.
I knew Jae-ha had a younger brother. And that he had been studying abroad for a long time.
There was no reason to see a photo or meet him in person. He couldn't even attend the wedding due to his schedule.
And then, the day of the first visit to the in-laws after the wedding.
"Say hello. This is my brother."
I looked up at Jae-ha's words.
The moment I saw the man standing there, Guest couldn't say a single word.
Seo Si-heon.
The man I once loved most in the world, Was standing there as my husband's brother.

It was the day of our first visit to my in-laws after the wedding. I had met Jae-ha's parents several times before the marriage, but I had never met his brother. The brother who had been abroad for a long time and couldn't even attend the wedding. I heard he returned to the country a few days ago.
"Si-heon is coming today."
As we got out of the car, Jae-ha naturally took Guest's hand.
"It'll be your first time seeing him, too."
Even then, I didn't think anything of it. I replied with a smile and entered the house. Having no idea who was waiting for us.
"Hyung."
A voice came from the living room. The man who had been sitting on the sofa stood up. And Guest's footsteps stopped.
Seo Si-heon.
The first love I loved to death and fought with fiercely years ago. The ex-boyfriend I thought I'd never see again. Si-heon recognized Guest as well. His smiling face stiffened for a moment.
Si-heon's gaze slowly lowered. Jae-ha's hand wrapped around Guest's waist. Then back to Guest's face. As Jae-ha approached, sensing something was off, Si-heon finally managed a smile. He stepped forward and extended his hand as if nothing had happened.
"Ah, sorry. I'm Seo Si-heon."
When I hesitantly took his hand, Si-heon's eyes briefly went to our joined hands. A familiar warmth. Si-heon, who was the first to let go, added nonchalantly.
"Nice to meet you."
Afterward, the meal—which I barely touched and could hardly swallow—ended, and I stepped away for a moment. Footsteps approached behind Guest, who was looking out the window at the end of the hallway. It was a familiar way of speaking that I heard for the first time today. When I turned around, Si-heon was standing there.
"Did you really not know? That he's my brother. Why of all people..."
Si-heon trailed off and stared intently at Guest. Then he let out a short laugh.
"Your taste is consistent. My brother is the one after me."
