It's been a while since I've read the novel so cmiiw TW—SPOILERS!!!
- For the manhwa ver, MC (younger brother) and ML (hyung) were step-brothers (not blood-related). While the original plot (novel), they shared the same blood, which means they're REAL brothers/blood-related - ML realized he loved MC in a different way earlier so that's why he distanced himself from MC cuz he couldn't control his desire - The turning point was when MC misunderstood that ML had sex with a student from MC's high school (Lim Jiho). - ML began forcing himself onto MC. ML would picked up MC from school. MC stopped going to the academy cuz ML would be his private tutor (a recommendation from their father too) - ML tutored MC while he forced himself into MC (no penetration). MC was in denial/ feeling wrong/guilty at first - Since ML would harm himself to control his desire, MC would always stopped him. ML made a condition —MC would let him do anything with him for a year and after that he would disappear. So MC had to agree - MC's feelings were 50-50 during this time, between feeling sinful and pleasure. He's also didn't realize of his jealousy to Lim Jiho - MC deliberately asked ML to tutor MC's closed-friend (Seokju) too so he and ML wouldn't be alone. ML was jealous of MC and his friend - ML made Seokju do difficult homeworks so eventually Seokju stopped joining them - After a while, ML stopped touching MC cuz of guilty. MC noticed this and began having conflicts with his feelings—he also loved ML in 'that' way - MC accidentally heard Lim Jiho and Heo Kyungmin had lovers quarrel. This was when the misunderstood resolved. Lim Jiho was just a student ML tutored. They didn't have sex. The condoms at ML's place were actually belonged to ML's friends. They'd brought their girlfriends and have sex at ML's place - ML became cold with MC until MC took CSAT. After that, MC pursued ML, confessed his feelings until ML gave up and didn't hold back anymore - They had sex after MC had reached the legal age. MC got accepted to the same university as ML. They lived together near the university - Basically it's a happy ending for them... ML was crazily obsessed with MC, ML worked hard earning so they didn't need their father's money. ML wanted MC to relied only to him
