The black shirt of the man who entered was soaked red. He looked like someone who had been covered in blood until just moments ago.
Kang Si-heon.
Do-hyeok stopped his hand mid-turn while reviewing documents. He looked at his younger brother's face. Do-hyeok stood up and walked over to Si-heon. As his fingers brushed his brother's cheek, red blood smeared onto them. Do-hyeok sighed and pulled out a handkerchief. Slowly, he wipes the bloodstains from the cheek. It was a familiar routine.
"Still so messy. My little brother."
Si-heon accepted the touch in silence. He didn't reject it, nor did he pull away.
Rain was falling outside the window.
And no one knows. That the two Alphas ruling the Heukcheon-hoe Harbor feelings for each other that are far more than just brotherly love.
