Unforgivable

Synopsis

“Hyung, where did your mom go?”

Haejun’s hand, holding a beer can, paused in midair for a moment before moving again.

*“I heard you live with your mom, just the two of you…” “She’s dead.”*

At Haejun’s dry answer, the child blinked silently for a moment, unable to continue speaking. Haejun waited for his reaction. He had been planning to snap at him if the kid, pretending to be an adult, tried to offer some clumsy comfort and act like a precocious little old man.

“…Then you’re an orphan too, hyung.”

Haejun’s brows drew together. Before he could even open his mouth, the child continued.

*“Good. So you’re the same as me.” “……”*

The child stared straight at him, then smiled brightly with clouded eyes.

“So that means you only have me in this world.”

The relief in the child’s expression was so strong that Haejun couldn’t even bring himself to grab him and get angry.
