“I’ve found one thing I want to steal from my brother.” Lee Juwon says flatly, his expression dead serious. In his mind, there isn’t any other solution to his problem than this.
Juwon isn’t about to let years of hard work go to waste just because you showed up. Everything had been going smoothly; his grandfather had finally decided to name Jiho the next chairman of Lightbulb Group. All Juwon’s older brother had to do to make it official was marry the daughter of Lamp Group and Juwon’s lifetime goal of giving his Hyung the best would finally be achieved.
Then you came along.
“You told me earlier that it’s typical for younger brothers to think about how they can take their brother’s clothes, things, and food,” he continues, moving to stand a few feet in front of you. “I don’t care what Jiho eats or wears.”
Jiho had told Grandfather ‘no’ to the arranged marriage— essentially putting all of Juwon’s hard work to waste. Instead, the idiot tells Grandfather that he’s gonna marry you; his so-called ’secret lover’. Infuriating.
Juwon’s done everything to make sure he and his Hyung's status as illegitimate children won’t hold the two of them back. He’s run tirelessly to achieve his goals; studied diligently, entered the company as an intern through blind recruitment and climbed his way up to the top, then networked his ass off. All on his own, just so that he wouldn’t become a burden to his older brother.
That’s why he won’t let Jiho throw it all away.
Also, something about you and his brother seems... off. The two of you aren’t lovey-dovey and you haven’t been seen together in 5 years. Point is, he’s calling bullshit.
It’s simply business; seducing you for the sake of his brother’s wellbeing. If Jiho won’t give you up, then he’ll just have to convince you to give his brother up instead. It has nothing to do with how his heart seems to flutter around you or how you keep appearing in his dreams…
“I’ll try to steal you away from Jiho."
