Such a neurotic punk....

–Ding! Ding! Congratulations! Host has uncovered a piece of the Broken Memory.

As the memory flashed by Hyun-Min's eyes he sneered in his mind while staring at Min-woo.

'Aish, the Hot Sauce Fairy Kim's intuition is never wrong, Min-woo you conniving little bastard!'

It seemed like things were rather interesting. The memories that had flashed in Hyun-Min's eyes was something he had not expected...

5 Months ago...

The head of the Shin Family– Min-Hyuk had announced he would be retiring by the end of the year, this had sent the Shin Boys into a frenzy as they all wanted to be the new President of the Shin Industries.

Min-Joon, also Min-woo's biggest rival, was the smartest of the lots and had gone on to seduce and engage Director Kang Jia who had a 20% Share of the Shin Industries, scoring him an additional 20% percent added to his original 10%, totalling up to 30%.

This caused an uproar and the haste to become President increased. Whilst everyone was looking for allies within the Shin Company, Min-woo's biggest trump card was a secret no one else knew.

Shin Hye-min, the late mother of the boys had willed 25% percent Share of the company to Hyun-Min, and Min-Hyuk had given 1% to Hyun-Min, totalling everything to 26% share of the Shin Industries.

It was safe to say compared to the other boys, Hyun-Min was already a major stockholder in the Shin Industries. If Min-woo could somehow coerce the 26% from Hyun-Min, he would have a total of 36% percent Share of the company, he could smoothly sail into becoming the President of the Shin Industries.

Only it would not have been so easy to swiftly collect those shares from Hyun-Min. Min-woo and Hyun-Min had no connection towards each other besides living under one roof. Even if Hyun-Min was naive they did not even speak to each other, how was he supposed to quickly collect the shares?

There was a way…..

A plan…..

There was a certain phrase….. violence taketh it by force, Min-woo chose to take it by force. He paid a few men to stalk Hyun-Min for a few weeks and finally threatened him to give up the Shares.

With Hyun-Min's scared Character it would have actually worked, but….. during the time of the stalking Hyun-Min himself had been stalking JeiMi Romano.

In the original plot none of this had actually happened, Hyun-Min was only supposed to stalk JeiMi and discover his evil plan to murder Jong-soo, but because of Min-woo something had changed that was not in the original plot... JeiMi discovered the little blonde haired boy that was stalking him.

It had happened during the rain, it was supposed to be the night Hyun-Min caught JeiMi paying the truck driver to murder Jong-soo but Min-woo's goons had shown up, and as ordered roughed him up and by roughing him up they beat him.

That cream fairy-like face was slammed on the cold wet wall with a fist pressing on it. Repeated kicks slammed on his stomach ruthlessly.

"Give up the Shares," one of the goons had sneered at his face.

They lifted him up by dragging his hair. "When the time comes, be smart and give up the Shares or else we'll be back." Then he spat on Hyun-Min's face.

JeiMi Romano was supposed to meet with the truck driver but instead he had witnessed his stalker being beaten by huge goons.

Min-woo had come visiting his brother the next day. He was sick and bedridden, being taken care of by the Family's Doctor.

"Brother you must know Father will be retiring by the end of the year, brother without your Share that bastard Min-Joon will become President, please I need your help brother."

It had become clear to Hyun-Min that Min-woo was the one who had planned his beating. It would have been easier to tell, to do anything than to give his Shares to the man who had him beaten to half dead. But he was frightened. He might be bratty, and dramatic but at the end of the day he was still an 18 year old boy, a scared 18 year old powerless boy who had no supporters, no backing, and no plot armor.

He could not tell his Family because if they had not yet known their Youngest was bedridden because of an obvious beating then who would believe it if he said Min-woo had sent goons after him for his Shares?

He decided to give his Shares to Min-woo.

The next day he would….. would….

The Memory died there. The current Hyun-Min felt the reality which was actually a memory skip pass his eyes but yet it felt as real as if he had been there.

Obviously Hyun-Min had not given his Shares to Min-woo or he would not be here but the current Hyun-Min could not remember anything related to Hyun-Min's Shares and the beating.

Why did he end up not giving his Shares to Min-woo? And something else was important, if Hyun-Min did not give his Shares to Min-woo why had Min-woo let him be all those months? Why was the man who had used goons to threaten his little brother into giving him his Shares trying to use gifts and attention to get the Shares?

What happened to violence taketh it by force?

'Aish, this is a simple teen romance, how did it take a dark and mysterious turn?' Hyun-Min tsked in his mind.

He turned to look at Min-woo. 'Tch, I can't believe I thought the spoiled tall bastard was sexy,' he sneered as he looked at Min-woo.

"Big brother Min-woo your shoulders have turned stiff with burdens, how can I expect you to carry mine? As a matter of fact they are starting to turn pointy, you should take therapy and frequent at a massage parlor, women do not like men with pointy shoulders, if no woman likes you how does Big Brother intend to get married, Big Brother will die old and lonely, I have even heard of Men dying at 29 from depression and loneliness. There was this man with seven brothers who died of loneliness because no woman would marry him with his pointy shoulders!"

Min-woo's eyebrow and eye twitched. Caretaker Nana had indeed said Hyun-Min was acting strange but... what was this new pretentiousness? He could have easily told him that he had no intentions of giving his Shares, why the long paragraph? Why the pretentious words? a 29 year old lonely man with seven brothers? When did Hyun-Min start showing signs of madness?

"Ah?" Was the only thing Min-woo could come up with. All his years as a Major business man at Shin Industries, he had never lost a word battle. This would be the first time he was dumbfounded but how do you reply to a long paragraph like that?

Hyun-Min's innocent face twisted into one of concern as he held the shoulders of Min-woo. "Aigoo, Big Brother MinMin you are a handsome man. Only there might be a few wrinkles here," He pinched the skin of Min-woo's face. "And you might need to dye your hair I can see one too many grey hair in there–"

Min-woo suddenly jumped out of his reach as if he was laced with poison. Could it be that those goons beat him too hard? Min-woo could not stop the thought. Why else was he acting like a lunatic? Was it not simple to tell someone to fuckoff? If you wanted to faceslap your enemy, who did it like this?

And why was he calling him MinMin in such a pretentious manner? Hyun-Min managed to make something so innocent, creepy to Min-woo.

"You…." The words croaked out of Min-woo's clogged throat.

"Big brother is so kind. Of all our Family only Big Brother cares to see that I am truly backed into a corner... if only I had a way to thank Big Brother."

Min-woo's eyes widened. "You….. the Share….."

"But all I have that is worth anything in the sight of such a kind brother is my heart. I know Big Brother MinMin does not care for material things, so I devote my heart as a tribute to you."

"Tri….tri... tribute?" Min-woo stammered.

Tribute? What tribute? He went through so much to get Hyun-Min to give up his Shares and now he was sprouting nonsense about a Tribute. Tribute your short legs! Did he look like an ancient deity? And when had he ever been so magnanimous as to not care for material things?

'I care! I care a lot about those Shares you heartless bastard!' Min-woo regretted his tied hands from being unable to physically harm the short bastard anymore or he would have strangled him at that moment.

Hyun-Min naturally saw how swollen and red Min-woo had turned but continued when he heard.
