Fear had always been the most common emotions that every other human being experiences. Apart from a twin's, every single soul in the room felt fear seeping through their skin pores as Chin Mae spoke.
Kang Chin Mae's calm-mocking look made him look like a reincarnation of something powerful out for blood to quist his thirsty-vengeance.
Ko Yon could not help but hug her son tightly, worrying about his well-being. But she was surprised when her son pats her to comfort with his good arm. She realised that her son was not scared of his cousin but there was something else worrying him.
Ko Yon felt that her son changed. It was for the better. He was someone who stood by his thoughts and voiced his opinion since childhood. He ended up in so much trouble when he was in Moon Mansion for it. But he stopped it when the family cut him off. Like a good little bystander, he usually put his head down and preferred not to interfere in the problem before him.
But now, he was trying to calm his mother, and something else was going on his mind. His mother was sure that her son changed but not sure in what aspect.
She was startled when she heard her father-in-law's heartless words.
"Thank you for taking care of my grandson in my absence. I will take him away along with my grand-daughter now." Moon family's old master said resolutely.
Moon Chin Hae, who was quiet for a while, spat at the spineless old man. "Did you take a wrong medicine or lost your marble due to old age? Choi Na Ri would ruin their life in that cursed family!"
Anger rolled of the old master and his hostile aura was deliberate to everyone in the room. "I will protect them!"
The twin stood by on their spot, not even slightly intimidated by the hostile aura of the old man. They grew up with BB, who was called as king of hell for various reason. Twin's had witnessed BB destroying people just for getting on his wrong side since they were teenagers. There were times they also helped him finish them off legally. For them, this old man's hostility felt like an ant bite.
Chin Hae let out a loud laugh. He found his grandfather's words humorous, and the past memory taunted him. "Protect them? Like how you protected me when I was accused of molestation even though everyone knew I did not do it. Or when your wife and son threatened my mother to sign the divorce document and give up every right, she had on her kids and the right even to meet us. When she refused, your wife picked my twin brother and threw him off the building. You will protect them like how you protected back then? Or like how you turned a blind eye to your family's deed when they did not let her even run to her bleeding son until she signed the document. Please enlighten me which way you are going to protect my sister and cousin? Or pray to tell me if you even have any intension to protect them."
Old master felt guilty for not standing by the family when they needed but he was determined not to let their revenge swallow his family. So all he could do was throw his weight at his two weak grandchildren and daughter-in-law. "I decided. We are leaving now. Follow me out this minute."
Moon Chin Hae held his sister's hand and refused to let it go when he saw how the spineless old man commanded his sister.
"You walked into a beast's den without even knowing what kind of beast he is. Now don't ever dream of leaving the place as you wish. All I had to do was wake the beast up and put a request. He will shred the entire Moon family into pieces. I heard you already tasted his fist long back when you wanted the school to dismiss Chin Hae." Kang Chin Mae looked at the old man in front of him as if he was nothing.
Kang Chin Mae knew in the heart that if he did not have anything to hold against the old man, he might not be able to protect his sister, whom he knows nothing about and the cousin brother whom he vowed to protect at all cost. But he did have a plan to turn the wave in his favour and started his plan when no one noticed.
He did not expect the way Young Jae handled the situation.

There is a double update today. The second one is the sneak peek of the future, and it a small treat for reaching 50 chapters. You will find the sneak peek in the auxiliary chapter. If you click on the table of contents, you will find auxiliary chapters before chapter 1. I am not sure how many of you read the first sneak peek I published in October 2020. If you haven't, you can check both of it together.
I am so happy that the book reached 50 chapters. Hope to see you all on this journey!
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Could you give me more motivation?

Chin Mae's mother remarried into a military family after her divorce. Old Man from the Moon family could not even reach the level of intimidation caused by any youngster in the Kang family. After all, the Kang family was from a long-lasting military lineage.
The old master Moon was disappointed in how Chin Mae and Chin Hae did not listen to his wish. He finally realised it wouldn't be easy to control his grandson Chin Hae to protect the family as he planned before. "You really think You will threaten me, the master of the Moon family. You don't even know what I am capable of. Let me see if you can stop me from taking my grandchildren away." He challenged the young blood with the assumption that they can't outwit his experience.
When young blood and old blood was close to having a one-o-one face-off, Young Jae's calm words softly caught everyone's attention.
"Unfortunately, none of you have any say in this. My dongsaeng and I have the final say in this. Isn't it right, Sunny?" Young Jae asked calmly.
Sunny trusted her cousin brother more than the brothers born of the same parents. She agreed to her cousin in a heartbeat.
Kang Chin Mae started to have a favourable opinion of his sister after he witnessed her loyalty.
The old master was shocked when he heard his obedient grandson defies his word for the first time and his favourite grandchild to follow her cousin's word more than his.
Kang Chin Mae used the diversion to execute his plan on the full-fledged force.
Ko Yon was surprised and proud of her son.
Moon Chin Hae looked at his cousin and sister like a proud mother hen. 'I knew that you both are not a lost cause of Young Jae. Hyung will make you strong. Till you become strong, I will protect you at all cost.'
Moon Chin Sun was baffled at the turn of events. She did not expect her grandfather, who was hell-bound, on sending her away with her brother to have a change of heart. But what shocked her the most was the truth revealed by her brother about her family members. She felt bad for her mother, who had to go through all the brutality in her family's hand. It pained her when she realised why her mother never visited her and felt guilty for thinking ill of her mother while growing up.
"What do you mean? Do you dare go against your grandfather's word? Is this how you show your filial piety to the grandfather who raised you? How did you turn into an ungrateful brat?" The old master lost the last bit of his common sense when he heard his grandson's word.
"If the filial piety asks for my life, I don't mind bowing down for you to take it. But if it targets my loved ones, I don't care if I had to become ungrateful. I will defy your words and will go beyond." Young Jae's voice was as calm as a flowing river, but it held the turbulence of the furious flood.
Kang Chin Mae glanced at Young Jae, wondering if it was the same meek boy who wanted to take his life or some other imposter. Young Jae reminded him of someone else with an unruly lifestyle he knew of. He turned his surprised gaze towards his cousin, only for him to smile in acknowledgement.
'Who knew spending more than 24 hours with Min Jun makes their innocent cousin adapt Min Jun's stormy-calmness.'
The old master was furious. Without even realising, he threw his walking stick at his grandson, who was defenceless and had his eyes wrapped in the bandage.
Ko Yon was all set to take the hit to protect her son.
Sunny froze at the turn of the event and held on to her second brother's hand firmly in fear.
Chin Hae did not even move away from his sister as if he knew that the walking stick would never reach his cousin and decided to comfort his terrified sister. Growing up, Sunny witnessed way too many violence that she was always scared of fights.
Kang Chin Mae caught the walking stick with practised ease. Even if it were a knife thrown towards his cousin by the old man, he would have caught it with ease. It was hard for him to obstruct a throw only if done by a handful of people, like BB and his siblings.
They were not humans but the embodiment of hungry beast out for blood to settle their loved ones' scores. As he grew up with someone who was planning revenge from their teenage, somehow Chin Mae ended up getting trained to protect himself and his loved ones.
Kang Chin Mae decided to make Young Jae go through similar training so that his fragile cousin can protect himself and his loved ones with confidence. He was determined to train his cousin by himself.
