Episode 19 of the 100th return of a max level player
19. Ryu Won (top) in the 100th episode
I don’t remember exactly when.
When I was just an immature elementary school student.
Something terrible happened to me.
“Hmm, mommy… … Dad… … .”
Hundreds of traffic accidents occur every day.
Something that seemed like it was only happening to others happened to our family.
“They say it was hit by a drunk driver.”
“Hehehehehe… … .”
“It wasn’t until I sobered up that I realized what I had done.”
“Ugh… … .”
I can see my brother’s back through the endless tears.
How can you be so calm?
I am so filled with sadness.
‘He’s merciless. ‘I don’t think you’re sad.’
That’s what I thought at the time.
Think about it.
A son who lost his parents in a car accident and has just entered high school calmly recites the circumstances of the accident at the funeral.
How could you not look cold when you see that?
‘uh? Come to think of it… … .’
I realized it later, but my brother was not cold-hearted.
Because the voice that was reciting the details of the accident was trembling slightly.
‘I was just pretending to be cool. My brother must have felt sore inside.’
It was probably due to the weight of the head of the family.
He must have tried to act calm because he realized that he was the only one responsible for his younger brother.
If the head of the family was shown to be falling apart, he would not have the confidence to get through the rest of his life.
I was immature, but it wasn’t until I entered middle school that I realized it.
‘Your brother is strong. ‘I’m already an adult.’
Although we were 4 years apart in age, my older brother was more dependable than anyone else.
It has never been otherwise.
Even more so after my parents passed away.
“Wonah. The two of us have to live while receiving basic living expenses, and to do that, we need to save up our living expenses from now on. Academy is a new thing, so you have to eat as little as possible and hold back on things you want to buy as much as possible. “Can you do it?”
“huh! “You can do it, bro!”
“Luckily, the landlord said he wouldn’t charge a deposit and would set the lowest monthly rent, so you don’t have to worry about being evicted right away. “There’s no need to change schools.”
“okay.”
“Be strong. “Now that things are like this, the two of us have to survive somehow.”
“Ugh, bro.”
* * *
After that, my brother and I lived in a shabby multi-family house, saving our living expenses.
I went to school regularly and continued my life as usual.
At least it must have seemed that way to others.
In reality, it wasn’t an ordinary life.
Titty titty!
“Ah… … . “Mom, I’ll sleep a little longer.”
“Wonah. wake up. “The alarm went off.”
When I opened my eyes, the person I saw was my older brother, not my mother.
“ah… … “You are my brother.”
“I have to go to school.”
“Yes… … .”
The person who woke me up in the morning was always my older brother, not my mother.
The person who prepared breakfast in the kitchen and the person who cared about whether I had everything prepared were all replaced by my older brother.
“eat.”
“… … .”
“what’s the matter? “It’s your favorite fried egg.”
“brother… … . I miss my mom and dad. Hehehe… … .”
When I saw the fried eggs on the table, I thought of my parents and cried.
Even though I knew I shouldn’t do this, I cried like a child.
“are you okay. It’s okay to cry. “Cry as much as you want.”
“Huh… … .”
As my brother comforted me and patted my back, I couldn’t help but cry.
The only family I have left now is my brother.
I shouldn’t be like this, but I end up relying on my brother.
* * *
Although I was always busy, my older brother became even busier after entering high school.
In order to earn more living expenses, he started working various part-time jobs, including flyer work.
“brother. are you okay?”
“It’s okay, then.”

“Then my whole body will be ruined. “I only sleep for 4 hours every day.”
“I’m sleeping at school, so don’t worry. And how strong is the human body? “It doesn’t break that easily.”
While others would receive support from their parents and focus on their studies without any worries, for us, that was a luxury.
Since I didn’t have money, I couldn’t even dream of going to college, and if I tried to get a scholarship, I would fall behind in many ways compared to kids who go to private academies.
While others were struggling with their studies, we had to worry about survival and tighten our belts to save even a penny.
‘I’m not tired. The person who really has a hard time is my brother.’
I only helped with the housework to a certain extent, but my older brother did most of the work.
Earning money, managing living expenses, and taking care of the family were all my brother’s jobs.
“Minnie hyung. “I want to help my brother too.”
“You’re helping. housework.”
“It’s not about that, it’s about making money.”
“What is there for middle school students to do? Leave that to your brother and worry about your studies. “At least I’ll send you to college.”
This is what happens every time I say I want to help.
Since you are young, you should stay still.
I was a little angry, but it wasn’t wrong because middle school students didn’t have the means to make money.
‘I want to help my brother too… … . I don’t want to see my brother having a hard time… … .’
My older brother, who devoted himself to his family, was by far the head of our family.
I wanted to be of some help to my brother, but there wasn’t much I could do.
‘I wish you hadn’t said you would send me to college. Do you think I’ll feel good if I leave my brother behind and go to college?’
But I only thought about it and couldn’t say it out loud.
Because I didn’t know who my brother worked so hard for.
Because I didn’t want to disappoint my brother.
Was that why?
I always pretended to be bright in front of my brother.
Even though at school, I was a gloomy, timid, unconfident person who was bullied by bullies.
* * *
Cheeeeeek!
“Aaaahhh!”
“Tsk tsk tsk, look at this bastard screaming.”
“Your voice is very loud.”
“I can be a singer. “Giggle.”
Did you say that dying by fire is the most painful death?
I experienced a little bit of that pain.
Due to a lit cigarette on the back of my hand.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … .”
“Hey, Ryu Won. You have such a loud voice, but why do you usually talk quietly like a rat? See, you can do it too. huh? Straighten your shoulders, you bastard.”
Every time he taps my shoulder, my body sways.
Each touch of the 185cm tall man was a huge shock to me, a humble person.
“That tall bastard. I feel like I’m always walking around without any power. Anyway, isn’t it good that you raise your voice a little?”
What about you? To the subject who is a classmate in the same class.
“What are you doing? “Are you chewing my words?”
“uh? Uh, Joe, okay… … .”
“Tsk tsk tsk, is this bastard a pervert? “They say it’s good.”
“Puhahahaha! Are you Majo? “Enjoy the pain?”
“If you like it, can you cook it one more time?”
Seeing Bang Tae-gyu lighting a cigarette with the back of his hand once again, I was completely out of my wits.
My mind goes blank.
“I’m scared. “It won’t burn, it won’t burn.”
Bang Tae-gyu is an opponent he can never beat, whether in his weight class or in a fight.
After all, school life is like hell because I got picked on by this guy.
‘okay… … You can’t call it hell with something like this. Because the real hell is the reality without parents… … .’
In my heart, I just wanted to die and follow my parents.
But if that happens, my brother will be the only one left.
-Be strong. Since things are like this, the two of us have to survive somehow.
My brother’s voice, speaking with a stern expression, seems to be playing in my head.
‘okay. I can’t give in like this. I have to hold on… … . ‘Anyway.’
It was hard, but I couldn’t give up my life, even for my brother.
Where can I leave my brother who works so hard for me?
‘Even if it’s painful, you have to endure it. You must never tell this, not even to your brother.’
The reason why he was able to persevere even though he was harassed and assaulted on a false day by the person in charge named Bang Tae-gyu.
That was thanks to my brother.
Because my brother was my support.
“류원, 이 개새끼야. Why is there no reaction like this? “It’s not fun.”
“huh? eww… … “I’m sorry.”
“The wound on the back of your hand. Hide it well? Do you know what happens if I report it to the police or tell your brother? At that time, both you and my brother were truly falling for me. You f*cking go to heaven and see your mom and dad. Do you understand?”
“… … .”
Even when I was criticized, I had no choice but to nod silently.
Because I didn’t have the strength to get out of this situation.
Because nodding was the best I could do right now.
‘Don’t worry, Bang Tae-gyu. Even if you don’t say that, I have no intention of telling you.’
I’m already in a situation where I can’t be of any help, so I can’t give my brother anything to worry about.
Because I can’t let you carry any more burden.

“I got a part-time job at a meat restaurant this time. I don’t like the boss, but what can I do? Even high school students should be grateful that they write.”
“Wow, a meat restaurant? “So, are you getting meat for dinner every night?”
“no. “It’s from 6 PM to 2 AM, so I have to cook dinner separately.”
“Eh? “If it starts at 6 p.m., dinner time is included.”
“But he told me to eat dinner separately. He said he only works on weekends, so what do you expect? “I don’t plan on giving you food or anything.”
“… … .”
Usually, if your part-time job overlaps with dinner time, doesn’t the restaurant prepare something for you to eat?
I was hoping that my brother would eat some meat and gain strength, but I was very disappointed.
“why? “Do you want to eat meat?”
“huh? no. “What about meat?”
“Our won, you seem to be weak these days. Should we go to a restaurant for the first time in a while and put some oil on the belly skin?”
“No, no, it’s not because of me. “I really don’t want to eat meat.”
Of course it was a lie.
The only memory I have of eating grilled meat is since my parents passed away, so how could I not think of it?
At that time, my older brother suddenly asked a perplexing question.
“Are you doing well in school?”
“uh? uh… Well. Have a good time. How good are you with your friends? lol.”
“thank god.”
I tried to act cheerful, but inside I was festering.
It’s my body, so I know it better than anyone else.
“It’s a new year soon.”
“Yes, that’s right. “What are you going to wish for?”
“wish?”
“Usually, when it comes to the new year, you make a wish. No, is it a resolution? Whatever it is.”
“well. “I have one wish, but it’s impossible.”
“What is it?”
“Turn back time.”
Usually at this point I say, ‘Haha! ‘I really wish I had that kind of ability!’ It was time to laugh, but… … .
“… … .”
I couldn’t do that.
Because I knew why my brother wanted to turn back time.
‘I want to see you. My parents… … .’
Same goes for me.
miss you.
Madly.
“It’s not far from here, so why don’t we take a quick trip?”
“Where?”
“The scene of New Year’s Eve bell ringing.”
It looks like my brother really wants to make a wish.
I want my lost time back.
“Won, do you want to go with me?”
“no. “I don’t like crowded places.”
“okay. I’ll come back then, so sleep first. “Don’t starve for dinner.”
“Yes. “Come on, bro.”
That day, I didn’t know.
I never thought that something that could turn the world upside down would happen while I was sleeping.
