Kim Seongmin Standing at the back door, watching a boy about his age writing names on the ground with a stick, murmuring to himself.
"This is my name, Li Minho, this is your name, Kim Seongmin."
After the boy named Li Minho finished writing, he stepped back, revealing the words on the ground. He pointed at the name on the ground with a branch and smiled at Kim Seongmin.
The sunlight was just right, and Li Minho's smile was beautifully illuminated by the light. The young Kim Seongmin couldn't find the right words to describe it, he just thought it was beautiful. His older brother was really good-looking.
Li Minho Holding his hand, she used a branch to trace over the name she had just written, teaching him how to write their names together.
"Our names both have a top-bottom structure for the first character, the second character also has a top-bottom structure, and the third character has a left-right structure. It's easy to remember, right?"
Li Minho taught Kim Seongmin how to write his name three times, then smiled and looked at Kim Seongmin with a smile, asking.
At that time, Kim Seongmin didn't understand what "structure" meant, but his brother said it should be right, so he nodded obediently and tried to imprint their names in his mind.
At that time, their names were already quite difficult for Kim Seongmin, even the hot-tempered man complained about how difficult their names were to write. When they went to register at the village committee, it was Li Minho who helped write their names.
Li Minho wrote the names very carefully, stroke by stroke, and despite the man's urging, he did not change it. He wrote "Li Minho" and "Kim Seongmin" neatly. After the uncle at the village committee and the man praised Li Minho's skill and left, the man's ingratiating expression turned fierce, and Li Minho was beaten.
"Knowing a few words is really something, isn't it! Your parents are really making a fuss. People from the countryside want fancy names, and they'll change the name tomorrow!"
The man looked fierce as he spoke while hitting Li Minho. Kim Seongmin had seen this too many times, and every time, he would be left in tears, wanting to save Li Minho but being persuaded by Li Minho to leave.
"Xiaomin, go outside quickly!"
Kim Seongmin listened to Li Minho's words, but the man was not happy, grabbing Li Minho and wanting to grab Kim Seongmin as well.
"Outside? Forget about it. You are already our children, so stay here for the rest of your lives."
The man's sarcastic remarks made Kim Seongmin unable to understand, but he could see the light in Li Minho's eyes dimming.
"Don't hit him, hit me instead. I won't do this again in the future."
Li Minho has seen all the bowing Kim Seongmin has done, most of it for him. At first, Kim Seongmin thought Li Minho was just trying to spare them from getting beaten, but later he realized that Li Minho was trying to help them survive.
Kim SeongminHis memories of childhood are very vague. He only remembers being an orphan and then being adopted by his current family.
"Seongmin, I will take you home when I have the chance."
Li Minho knows, and even comforts him, obviously Li Minho's situation is completely different from his. Li Minho remembers his parents.
"But I am an orphan, besides here, where else is home?"
Kim Seongmin nestles in Li Minho's arms, the thin cotton blanket unable to provide enough warmth, so they hold each other to keep warm.
"From now on, I am your home, and we will definitely be able to leave this place."
Li Minho holds Kim Seongmin tightly, comforting him gently with a determined look in his eyes.
Kim Seongmin believes, he always believes in Li Minho's words.
With Li Minho by his side, Kim Seongmin feels that life must not be too difficult, except for the scars on his brother's body.
Li Minho always shields Kim Seongmin and silently accepts everything.
"Xiaomin, believe me, when we grow up, we can leave here."
Every time, facing the sobbing Kim Seongmin, Li Minho would wipe his tears and comfort him softly.
Hurry up and grow up, so you can leave here and protect your brother.
Kim Seongmin hugged Li Minho, his shoulder wet, patting Li Minho's back and comforting his brother.
"Big brother, I will grow up quickly..."
But after growing up, Kim Seongmin never saw Li Minho again.
