Han Xiuming stayed up all night reading a happy-ending comic and nearly had a heart attack. When he opened his eyes, he had become the abusive scumbag older brother in a heartbreaking comic.
Seeing his younger brother, the protagonist's love interest, huddled in the corner of a rental apartment, eating expired instant noodles, and then looking at the five billion won in loan-shark debt left by the original owner, Han Xiuming stubbed out his cigarette on the debt contract. "Damn it! I could rewrite this garbage script with my feet!"
When the three psycho tops show up in turn, just like in the original plot...
The chaebol top throws down a sponsorship contract? Han Xiuming turns around and sends proof of tax evasion to the tax office, with a copy to the chaebol's business rival.
The school bully top corners and harasses someone in an alley? Han Xiuming opens a livestream and enthusiastically narrates: "Everyone, take a good look! The prosecutor general's son is beating someone up!"
The gentle senior top reveals his true colors and locks someone up? Han Xiuming strikes first, reports a drug-fueled party, and sends him to rehab for a stint in isolation.
Just as the plot becomes unrecognizable, the comic's original author, pulling the strings behind the scenes, can't sit still and gives the scumbag tops all kinds of unfair advantages. The three scumbag tops pin Han Xiuming in a blind spot under the surveillance cameras late at night. "You ruined our carefully crafted masterpiece, you son of a bitch. How are you going to make it up to us?"
Han Xiuming presses a stun gun to one of their chests. "Make it up to you? My ass! Want a deluxe set of handcuffs?"
As he battles the scumbag tops, he realizes his younger brother seems to be different from the original character. Not only has he grown taller than Han Xiuming, he still insists on sharing a bed with him even after reaching adulthood.
"You're shaking, big brother." Han Yun Zhen wraps his arms around him from behind, his warm breath brushing his ear. "Let me help you hold the knife, okay?"
The boy's eyes are dewy, like a puppy caught in the rain, yet he precisely severs the hand of the pervert reaching toward them.
One night, Han Xiuming discovers that his younger brother's computer is full of pictures of him, and only then realizes that the little white flower he raised has become a black-hearted lotus.
After sending all the scumbag tops to prison, he plans to make a clean exit. But his younger brother pins him against the wall. Han Xiuming watches in astonishment as his once cute and delicate little brother turns into a hulking wall of muscle. "When did this start?"
"The night you took a metal pipe for me." Han Yun Zhen licks the blood from the base of his thumb. The dangerous contours of his muscles shift beneath his shirt. "You said we'd be together forever. How could I possibly let you go?"
Han Xiuming, who only loves handsome boys with lean muscles, is beside himself with rage. "No, I mean, when did you start overtraining?! Aren't lean muscles better, little brother? I don't need a hulking body and a giant thermos!"

1. All the scumbag tops from the original story are sent to prison. The brothers have their own pure-love romance (they are not registered in the same household, and they are not biological brothers).
2. The older brother transmigrates. He was a top before transmigrating, but gradually gets turned into a bottom afterward (by his younger brother).
3. Pure sweetness and pure satisfaction, with no angst at all. A short story, written for fun.
