The brother is very conflicting. I get that his resentment towards her is because she is easier to confront than the real danger (his cousin) but damn he isn't very understanding at all. I wouldn't be surprised if Kijeong was also abused by the cousin but 'aged out' of his preferences. She was willing to give up her own room to ensure that he never got near the brother. Very common protection method. But the brother will never know because he refuses to talk to her.
