171 Communication is the key

Hae-won lowered his head for a bit and then wrote down.

"Before, when they called me, they usually only called me Hyung or Sun-bae so the fact that I was someone else acting as the one they love didn't bother me at all. But then, after the incident," he paused, his hand slightly trembling.

Ga-Ram saw this and placed a hand on his trembling hand.

"It's alright, I'm here." Hae-won nodded and kept writing.

"After the incident, they started calling me Hae-won. It felt like an invisible knife had been stabbed in my heart. I don't know the real reason I felt so painful but each time, I would feel, they didn't call me that because I was no longer their Hyung and Sun-bae and it's true. But at the same time, I felt they were trying to distance themselves from me by calling me that name which I was not very familiar with." Once again, his hands trembled and his eyes watered.
