The tears I never saw on the face of the man sitting beside me finally fell. He was the toughest person I ever knew.
Hearing the story about Karina or rather her sister Elena, she ended up crying as well. I pat her on the back as a symbol of sadness.
"That's all I know about Karina, uh I don't mean Elena. I'm still looking for the reason for the death of my future father-in-law and mother-in-law" I said, then took a deep breath.
Edward hardened his fist and his jaw hardened as well. I know his anger is over.
He stood up, "I have to meet the woman, I have to avenge" he said.
"Woii wait a minute, you think knowing this I'm not angry? I'm just as angry with you. But I have to be able to hold back my anger. We still don't know the reason for your parents' deaths. I've found out, but this case is very clean. Besides I already know the best way to destroy that woman, my honorable brother-in-law" I got up on my feet as well.
Edward raised a little side of his lips, "when did you become my brother-in-law? I don't seem to approve you guys yet" he joked after a little more calm.
I replied with a cynical look, "i haven't even approved of you with my sister either. After thinking about our relationship is complicated as well huh. I'm with your sister, you're with my sister. Who is the oldest brother-in-law? We choose from age. I'm a few months older than you" I said in reply. I patted her on the shoulder and left her speechless annoyed.
/ The past /
Steven and Alvin are two orphaned brothers. They grew up in a small orphanage. Until one day when they were seven years old master and mistress Lee came to raise a child from the orphanage because they had been married for 10 years but they still did not have children.
Mr. Lee or Selena's father chose Alvin alone but his wife felt sorry for Steven because they were twins. His father chose Alvin because he was a very smart and friendly boy, while Steven had a slightly mischievous nature. His wife insisted on taking them both and Mr. Lee agreed.
It turns out that 6 years later the doctor gave good news about the pregnancy of Miss Lee, that's their biological child Selena Lee.
The two grow up to be handsome teenagers and with different personalities from each other. Alvin remains the pride of Mr. Lee, he made so many achievements and always got the best student degree in school.
Unlike Alvin, his sister was mashed into a naughty teen who likes to fight. He often gets into trouble with students inside and outside of school. Although honestly he is a pretty smart and kind-hearted kid.
When Alvin gets full affection from both of his adoptive parents, different from Steven who only gets it from his adoptive mother.
Although Steven often gets into trouble, he is actually a good guy. He only punched those who were wrong and defended those who were oppressed. He also often helps his bullied friends, so he is respected in school even though there are still some students who disturb his calm.
The principle that he held firm, only the person who was hit knew how painful the blow was.
Steven's mischievousness he was never rude to women and those who were weak. The principle is that those who deserve to die must die and those who deserve to be happy must be given that happiness.
Mr. Lee often gets angry and punishes Steven, but still he always asks to protect his brother because Alvin has a slightly shy and short-sighted nature.
At school Steven is the head of Alpha. He is a leader and a friend to them. Genk alpha consists of Steven, Alvin, Leo, Lucas, and Edward as well as several additional members.
Steven is closest to Lucas and Leo while Alvin is closest to Edward. Edward was the last member to join the three.
The man who became a national swimming athlete was also an orphan from an orphanage. When he came to their school, no one wanted to befriend him even some students bullying the man.
Alvin was the first to extend his hand and bring it into the Alpha genk. They could feel Edward's feelings for having the same background.
Steven tucks Alvin in to protect him so no one dares to disturb his brother. But in the genk activities, Alvin was not allowed to join by his sister.
In genk only Leo has biological parents and comes from a wealthy family as well. While Lucas, his parents died while he was still sitting on the SD bench due to an accident. She was raised by her grandmother, but her grandmother died when she was about to enter Junior High.
Among the five of them, Alvin is the smartest and followed by Leo. They always compete to be the best students in school. Steven is the third smartest, but he is the type of student who does not like the monotony of learning like his brother.
Although they're not rude to girls, Steven and Leo are still ground crocodiles at school. Especially Steven who is famous for playing the hearts of girls. But he was never seriously interested in them.
Steven loved his sister very much and treated her like a princess. But his foster father hated him so much. Sometimes he is blamed for mistakes he did not make.
The man who raised the twins treated them unfairly. Whatever Steven does, he's always wrong in the man's eyes. That's why Steven doesn't like being in place as long as his foster father is.
No matter how much Ms. Lee defended her second child, her husband would continue to blame them. So Steven never thought of it as a real family.
Every year they will celebrate their second birthday, they will take pictures together, eat their favorite food. No. gabe. The food served is not the two's favorite, it's just Alvin's favorite. The gifts received are always according to Alvin's taste. Steven just kept quiet and let things go that way. He will go and not celebrate together. There are no complete family photos.
On their fifteenth birthday, Alvin invites Steven to the park to celebrate their birthday by camping. Steven refused because he was reluctant to find the view of his father who rather looked at him hatefully.
At that time Steven planned to retaliate against the students who had repeatedly broken up with one of his friends but escaped due to lack of evidence and he threatened the girl when she reported to the police.
Alpha's members don't know about this idleness, just Steven and Lucas. Their targets came from other schools and a good family background. He does not want to make others in trouble if something happens unexpectedly.
The student's revengeful success brought a smile of happiness on the faces of Steven and his friends. It was the first time he had killed someone even at the age of fifteen. But that time was also broken by the news of the death of his own brother, Alvin.
Alvin was found dying of poisoning and immediately taken to the hospital. Steven immediately went to the hospital where his brother was treated, but doctors said his brother could not be saved.
The day he grew to fifteen years old turned into the darkest day of his life. He should have followed her brother's request to celebrate his birthday. The biggest regret I feel.
Mr. Lee is stressed and blames everything on Steven. He blamed the teenager with deep heartache for not being able to protect his own brother.
The hardworking, charismatic man turned into a drunken handyman. Every night after work, he would come back affected by alcohol. One day, Mr. Lee died of an alcohol overdose.
Mrs Lee was unable to accept the fact that not long ago her first child died, her husband then left her and her two children with a lot of debt in the bank.
The woman lost consciousness and went mad. He eventually committed suicide by eating an unlimited amount of sleeping pills.
What remains are Steven and four-year-old Selena and her father's debts to the bank. Their homes and assets were confiscated as payment for the debt.
Aunt Kim, who at the time was already working in the Lee family, raised both.
A week later police found evidence of the murder of a student who abused a schoolgirl who asked Steven for help. He and Lucas were arrested and sentenced to 4 years in prison for being too young.
While in prison, one man came to offer an offer. After a long time, Lucas and he agreed to accept the offer. They will be released if they want to come to America to become a special forces mercenary.
Instead of continuing in the cell, and after going out there will be no school that accommodates them better choose to join. There they are both trained to survive, kill, and how to become ruthless mafia.
The law? He doesn't believe that. When Alvin died, the police arrested the perpetrator. But what stuck in his mind was, not a week ago the perpetrator was reported to have died in the cell. It means he's not the real culprit, he makes him an alibi.
Steven, who defends schoolgirls who have been abused repeatedly, had to be detained for several years. For the tall, handsome-faced man, law is just a game.
The law only favors those who are strong and powerful. People say it's not the wrong law but they're the ones who play games with it. No, that's not true. If indeed the law is true and holy, without any reason a person who is guilty should receive a reward but a major crime that harms many parties sometimes gets relief by percussion of a thousand reasons.
The main reason Steven received the offer was to get back their house that the bank confiscated. He felt guilty for Selena, because their family was destroyed. Being a mercenary he would receive a heavy fee. Every month he would send money for Selena's needs as well as save up to take back the Lee family home.
For five years in America they finally returned to Korea and his wish was realized. He can atone a little for his sins on Selena.
It is true that living in regret is the most horrible life. He must live with guilt for life. Steven eventually becomes a predator.
