I honestly dont get why most comments below suspect the brother. I mean at first I did too, but I believe the last chapter cleared that doubt. Hwoyon was not a 'favoured' child, he just had a big brother who did everything to keep him out of trouble with their strict dad. Sure the brother may seem a bit nosy but that's what family is like. When a relative you care about is doing something you know could harm them, especially a younger one, you will try to stop them or help them.
So far I think the brother genuinely cares (irrespective of some shady smirk) Hwoyon himself recalls his brother being nothing but protective of him when they were young. Oh well, still a plot, anything can happen. But I dont dislike him- not yet.
