Mina, his little sister is always picked up by him at 8 PM, it was very late and all the other kids got out from the kindergarten at 5 PM but the woman who took care of his sister was kind enough to let Mina stay until 8 PM since he had to work.

Now that he had a new job, he would pick her up way earlier, Jasmine would not mind something so trivial and even if she did, Mina was way more important for him than Jasmine or this job.

It took Bin a bit less than an hour to arrive at the kindergarten, he was sweating profusely and his head was red from exhaustion. The mansion of Jasmine was a bit of away from the city and it was in some kind of district reserved for rich people, he first got lost then went the other way, it was too hellish.

At the small yard made from plastic grass, Mina sat there, her figure was lonely, she was staring at the grass silently and not doing anything besides that.

Seeing her lonely figure, Bin felt pain in his heart as he wished only happiness for his sister but he couldn't stay with her the whole day, it was impossible. The only thing he could do for her is earning money and satisfy her desires and buy some good clothes of delicious food for her.

"Mina! I'm here."

When she heard his crisp voice, the little girl turned around and dashed at him with a face full of smiles, it's like she's not the same little girl who was sitting there alone and remaining silent.

He knew that even though she was small, Mina was smart as she never demanded anything from him and would not tell him even if she wanted something, she would keep it for herself. She felt very lonely but she knew that her big brother worked hard for their sake so didn't complain.

"Ah! Big brother!"

Once she close to him, Mina jumped in her brother's arm, burying her head into his chest, she liked hugging him and resting in his arms.

Moreover, she was pretty tired so by the time Bin thanked the woman who took care of his little sister, Mina was already asleep in his arms. He carried her on his back, piggyback and went to their small 'apartment'. Although Jasmine prepared a room for him in the mansion, it was too far and it would bring troubles if he brought her there.

They didn't have electricity in the small home so he used two candles to illuminate the small room, all there was some books and blankets. Softly, he put his sleeping sister on the blankets and covered her then he sat next to her.

It was a very long day and a lot of things happened, now that he thought about it, it's rather unbelievable that he became a servant and the pay was too high.

Bin didn't sleep and merely gazed at his sister peaceful sleeping face, it was angelic and pleasing to look at. He stroked her cheeks and softly smiled, all his life and goals was for her sake, if she's not here, he would rather die than continue to live miserably.

'I'll definitely, definitely make you live a life full of happiness and joy, just wait a bit more time... just a bit.'


....

At midnight, Mina woke up as she felt hungry, fortunately, Bin bought some food on his way home, he prepared some food for her when she was asleep and put aside. When she woke up, he gave it to her and he even put a little extra so she could feel full.

The cute little Mina ate half her plate and pushed the remaining food to her brother whilst saying.

"Big Brother, I'm full, it's delicious. Here, eat some too."

Bin could only shake his head while smiling, whenever she ate, Mina would always do this so he got used to it, obviously, he wouldn't eat it and would reply the same way.

"I already ate, now finish your plate so you can grow up to a healthy and fine lady."

After hesitating a bit, Mina continued eating whilst glancing at her brother every now and then.

Not long after, she fell asleep again followed by Bin who also fell asleep as he couldn't hold back anymore.

...

The night passed fast and before he could even have enough sleep, Bin was awakened by the loud noise of the alarm. He instantly stopped it and dashed to their small toiled.

'Damn it, again! So soon?'

As he was thinking that, he started coughing continuously and soon the coughing turned serious until he coughed real blood and large amounts too.

His face turned pale and his whole body was in pain, it was going to be one of those days when he is greatly weakened because of this damnable sickness.

After getting rid of the blood and washing his face, Bin prepared himself and softly awakened Mina as it was time for Kindergarten.

Normally, it's whether morning or evening the kindergarten but Mina was willing to stay the whole day there for his sake. Mina didn't complain about more sleep and obediently wore her clothes with his help then she ate a simple breakfast which was a cup of hot milk and two fist-sized cakes that Bin bought yesterday for 500 Won the piece.

As she was eating and enjoying the sweet cakes, Mina suddenly stopped and pointed at Bin while asking with a worried and sad tone.

"Big Brother, you have blood on your lips again..... are you okay?'

Bin didn't notice the blood leaking of his lips and the taste of blood was filling his mouth since earlier, it's like he didn't have saliva but blood.

"Oh, this? It's just that I bit my tongue when I was eating earlier, don't worry."

Judging by her look, Mina didn't believe him, she kept staring at him with worried look and added

"But you always say that....."

Bin kept laughing and replied

"Ha ha ha, your big brother is clumsy and I have a bad habit of biting my tongue while eating, don't worry. Just be careful to not become like me, alright?"

As he was saying that, Bin rubbed her head but Mina only dropped her head down and only responded with one soft word

"Ok....."
