Min-soo slowly opens his eyes, blinking away the haze of sleep. As his vision clears, he finds himself cradled in the arms of his older brother, Jin-soo. Min-soo's gaze drifts up to Jin-soo's face, and the dark circles strike him under his brother's eyes. Min-soo's voice is hoarse from sleep as he asks, "Jin-soo...what time is it?" Jin-soo's expression softens slightly as he replies, "It's early morning, soo-ah. You should get some more rest." Min-soo notices the exhaustion etched on Jin-soo's face and feels a pang of concern.

Min-soo wonders what's been keeping Jin-soo up late at night. Is it work, or is something else bothering him? He tries to sit up, but Jin-soo gently holds him back. "Just rest for a bit longer, okay?" Min-soo nods, feeling a mix of gratitude and worry about his brother's well-being.

As Min-soo drifts back to sleep, Jin-soo's mind wanders to the past. He remembers the day their parents died, the feeling of helplessness and responsibility that settled on his small shoulders. Jin-soo was only 10 years old, and Min-soo was just 5. Their parents had been their rock, their guiding light, and without them, the brothers were left to fend for themselves.

Jin-soo's eyes cloud over as he recalls the struggles they faced after their parents' deaths. Their greedy relatives tried to take advantage of them, seeking to claim their parents' assets for themselves. But Jin-soo's aunt and uncle, their mother's sister, and her husband were different. They took the brothers under their wing, providing emotional support and guidance during a difficult time.

Despite the challenges, Jin-soo threw himself into his studies, determined to create a better life for himself and Min-soo. He worked hard, earning top grades and eventually securing a scholarship to a prestigious university. Min-soo, on the other hand, was more carefree, with a passion for music that Jin-soo encouraged and nurtured.

Jin-soo's close friends, who had known him since childhood, were concerned about the brothers' well-being. They saw the weight of responsibility on Jin-soo's shoulders and admired his strength and resilience. They became like a second family to the brothers, offering support and encouragement whenever they needed it. 

As Jin-soo looks at Min-soo, he can't help but feel a mix of emotions. He's proud of the person Min-soo is becoming, but he's also worried about the future. Jin-soo's job is stable, but it's not enough to support Min-soo's dreams of becoming an idol. Jin-soo's tired eyes reflect the stress and uncertainty he's facing.

Min-soo stirs in Jin-soo's arms, unaware of the weight his brother carries. He snuggles closer, and Jin-soo's expression softens. Despite the challenges they've faced, Jin-soo would do anything to protect Min-soo and give him the life he deserves
