My husband's younger brother was my ex-boyfriend.
About
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. We missed each other if we were apart for even a day, and even after spitting out words of breaking up during a fight, we always ended up finding each other again. 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. Contacts were deleted, and they didn't look for news of each other.
Years passed like that, 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 were a good match, and there was hardly anything to fight about.
He was a good man. And I thought it would be okay to spend the rest of my life with this person.
So, we 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, nor to 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 marriage.
"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.

Intro
It was the day of the first visit to the in-laws after the wedding. I had met Jae-ha's parents several times before the marriage, but I had never met his younger 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.
Jae-ha naturally took Guest's hand as they got out of the car.
It'll be your first time seeing him, too.
I didn't think anything of it until then. I replied with a smile and entered the house. Having no idea who the person waiting for us was.
Hyung.
A voice came from the living room. The man who had been sitting on the sofa stood up. And Guest's steps came to a halt.
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 was wrapped around Guest's waist. Then back to Guest's face. When Jae-ha approached, sensing something was off, only then did Si-heon force a smile. He approached and held out his hand as if nothing were wrong.
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 let go first, added nonchalantly.
Nice to meet you.
Afterward, the meal ended, though I could barely swallow a thing. 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 tone of voice, the first time I'd heard it today. Turning around, Si-heon was standing there.
Did you really not know? That he's my brother. Why of all people...
Si-heon trailed off, staring intently at Guest. Then he let out a short laugh.
Your taste is consistent. After me, it's my brother.
