Chapter 32

• I smiled bitterly and then said, "I thought you would ask me for help when you saw me. You would tell me your grievances and let me get justice for you. I've been waiting for you to speak up, but even if you saw me, you never asked me for help. Every time I was the one who couldn't stand it and took the initiative in stopping them."
• I kissed the back of her hand and continued, "Every time you were bullied, I would pass by so coincidentally. There had never been any coincidence! I didn't stop Vicky and others at the beginning because I wanted you to ask me for help. I've been waiting for you to speak up. Every time I would stand in the most prominent position, but you have never asked me for help once."
• I sighed and said, "I know how stubborn you are, so I found Vicky and others and warned them not to bully you. I also want to be your brother and protect you for life. Even if we can't be close brothers and sisters, I will take the responsibility of a brother. We live under the same roof, but we get along like strangers. No! We are inferior even to strangers. I have been silently watching and protecting you. At first, I really regarded you as my sister. It may be because of the habit formed over the years, my eyes always fall on you unconsciously. My feelings for you have changed silently. I have been restraining my feelings. I know that in your eyes, I'm your brother. I don't want you to know the animosity of the previous generation. I don't want you to be sad."
