    Summary

    A Reddit-style r/AmItheAsshole post written by Han Yoojin during the first birthday that he and Han Yoohyun spend apart.

    It doesn't end well.

    So I (22M) have been trying to get into contact with my younger brother (17M) for the past few months. Today’s his birthday, and I got him a cake and showed up to his workplace and tried giving it to him, but his personal assistant wouldn't let me in. This has happened every time I've tried to see him. Whenever I text him or call him he never replies either.

    For context, when we were both really young, our parents started leaving us alone a lot. I was the one who had to take care of him. It was fine because they would still send us money though. He was also a really good kid, so I didn't mind at all! He was the perfect younger brother.

    Summary

    The anger does not abate. It boils inside of him and he thinks that killing his brother’s murderer only made it worse.

    Perhaps that’s why he doesn’t think his wish through. Perhaps it’s just the grief and the bone-deep exhaustion he’s accumulated over the past eight years deciding to rear its head. Yoojin doesn’t know.

    But when he makes his wish, he just asks to be taken back to prevent his brother’s death, no matter how many tries it takes.

    He regrets the wish almost immediately.

    Or, Yoojin words his wish differently and changes things both for the better and for the worse.

    Summary

    “I’m okay,” he says in a steady voice. “But I can’t be who you’re looking for.”

    “Who do you think I’m looking for?” Agent Choi asks, voice deathly quiet. “Are you not Kim Soleum?”

    He is.

    But he’s not Kim Soleum in any way that matters.

    He’s not a Kim Soleum that can feel anything. That can do anything. That can be anything, except a shell of what a person should be.

    .

    (Two and a half years after 208, Agent Choi finds Kim Soleum working a dull desk job.)
