章 196: And then you were overjoyed

(sad moments 101 incoming)

"I am sorry for being so reckless back then and even now, unknowingly causing you pain with my actions. I am sorry that you fell off that cliff instead of me. I am sorry you were taken away from your family because of me. I am sorry that you almost died, and I am sorry," he breathed hard as tears rolled down his cheeks. "...I am sorry I could never be a responsible younger brother to you or a great and perfect son to mother and father in your place. I am sorry."

Dongwoo was speechless. The wind blew as he watched Minwoo cry as he apologized for the things he had done and never could become.

His heart ached. Watching him cry like that, it was painful.

"I... I didn't want you to suffer." Dongwoo said. "I remember everything from that night and the feelings that I felt when saving you back then. If that situation repeated itself, I would definitely do the same. I would save you and take the fall." He pursed his lips.
