Chapter 98 – 98. House View
“Where are you going?”
“Jeju island. 2 days and 1 night.”
A mother traveling across the water to an island.
⋯ I really couldn’t imagine it.
Always thought we’d meet outside,
On the contrary, she never dreamed of thinking of sending her mother away.
“⋯Did Winter buy you a ticket? Even your aunts?”
“Not all, I bought two. Only one person went, so the three of us bought one.”
“Isn’t he going?”
“I’m busy because it’s exam period, oppa.”
Winter, lying on the sofa and fiddling with his phone, doesn’t match the word busy.
Lying on her knees with her thighs exposed is so erotic that you want to bite her right now.
⋯My throat is already dry.
“Anyway, Mom, I’ll be back for dinner tomorrow, so the two of us take care of the house. Where are you going?”
“Aren’t you going out?”
“When you guys go out, do you meet your friends and drink more? Just stick to the house and eat it whether you order it or make it. ⋯Don’t just wander around.”
“⋯.”
“Then do you want to go see mom? See you tomorrow~”
“Yes, Mom~”
“⋯Please come.”
The mother who showed a smile on her face after a long time and left her house.
⋯ Then, Winter, pretending to be a daughter full of filial piety, sees her mother off with a smile.
I didn’t have any special appointments today, but I’m embarrassed.
The purpose is clearly visible.
“⋯What do you wish for?”
“Why, brother. Is it strange that her daughter takes care of her mother?”
“Where is your money?”
“Because I don’t have anything to spend my pocket money on.”
The winter that doesn’t even make eye contact and answers shamelessly.
⋯I taught wrong.
I wish she hadn’t even taught the shameless ⋯.
“Hey, no matter what… No. By the way, what did you say that your mother was treated like that? “
“Tickets… I happened to have two left. She felt sorry for her mother, and she said she would give it as a gift, so she accepted it as well.”
Two plane tickets to Jeju Island.
Appointments canceled suddenly.
He’s gotten better these days, but his expression has been depressed for a while.
A gift from my daughter-in-law as she apologizes.
⋯How could you not receive it?
“Anyway, did I have to buy an airline ticket?”
“⋯Why are you looking at me like that, brother? I reserved it with the intention of really using it, but ⋯brother don’t go.”
“⋯Me?”
“Your brother told me to endure it. ⋯Isn’t it?”
⋯Even if there are more than 15 days left until the exam, it’s not like buying a ticket without discussing the schedule.
To say that, even if I thought about it, it was not convincing, so I quit.
In fact, even if I had been forced to drag it that day, I probably would have followed it well as if I couldn’t win.
“What is it, brother? My brother told me not to have sex, but ⋯ did you actually intend to break your promise?”
“⋯Ah, yes. Have to be patient right?”
⋯ There again.
Seriously… It only goes over once or twice.
If he continues to lose his temper every time he flirts with him, his dignity as an older brother will not survive.
I really have to be patient this time.
“Huh. My brother asked me to hold back, so I won’t break my promise no matter what.”
“Uh. I will never break my promise, so don’t break your promise either. Understand?”
“You can’t believe it?”
“Whether you stick around naked or whatever you do, I will never do it, so believe it or not, you decide.”
“⋯Really?”
“Oh, really.”
“That, then. ⋯I’ll put on my clothes for a while⋯ and come.”
As soon as he declared that he would never attack him, his brother stuttered and ran away to his room, saying that he would change his clothes and come back.
⋯Ah, did I get angry and provoked it too much?
What to do
I don’t have the confidence to hold on when I come wearing really slutty clothes.
Are you going to lose again?
The moment I was about to melt my hardened resolve in less than a minute,
“⋯What is it?”
“Why, brother? It’s cold, so you just put on more outerwear?”
“In this weather?”
“It’s not even summer yet. ⋯It might be a little cold.”
Contrary to expectations,
Her brother was standing in his room wearing only a cardigan and laughing at me when I was embarrassed.
⋯I’m really pissed off.
Change into the dolphin pants you’re wearing or something long and say it.
“What is it, brother? ⋯Did you expect something strange?”
“At all?”
“⋯Did you want to see it caught by your mother?”
“⋯ Not at all?”
“I wouldn’t wear that at home. Since it’s your brother, Pervert, I thought you’d just ask me to wear it all day…”
I can’t stand the burning of my cheeks because I feel like I’ve been exposed.
⋯I should have asked what kind of clothes it was the other day.
Be patient
It shouldn’t go beyond this.
At least you have to be patient until Winter begs you to do it first.
“⋯Anyway, I got it. I’ll go in and sleep, so wake me up when it’s lunchtime.”
“Is your brother going to sleep?”
“I’m tired, but I can take a nap. ⋯Because this week has been tough.”
I couldn’t see anything but a future that would break the promise if I continued to cling to Winter, so I decided to go to my room and sleep while I was tired.
⋯Honestly, it’s true that I fucking want to do it,
Hurt one’s self-esteem
If you bite openly like that and get over it, it’s like you’ve lost the initiative to your younger brother.
⋯Besides, my mother isn’t home until lunch tomorrow.
Once I started, I have no idea how far I’ll go.
If I do something wrong, I feel like I’ll release the accumulated stress on Gye-gyeol instead.
It’s more scary because I think they’ll probably still accept it.
“⋯Why do you follow me?”
“I’m sleepy too, so I’m going to take a nap.”
“Go to your room and sleep. Don’t come here.”
“Brother, you said you wouldn’t do that no matter what I did? ⋯Was that all a bluff?”
But even if I run away to my room, the younger brother who will follow me and stab me in the back.
Now, even though he knows everything, he puts his palm over his mouth and giggles.
“What, what is it? Brother. You said you didn’t. Why are you hugging me all of a sudden?”
“Now. Because I am sleepy.”
⋯ Strangely, it was so cute.
Oh, I don’t know.
I know you’re openly making fun of me…
Just talking like this makes me feel a little less stressed.
I hugged the slightly flustered winter and collapsed on the bed.
As dogs and cats greet each other, they sniff as soon as they lie down.
The smell of shampoo I always smelled.
I am relieved.
Of course, it’s not that I’m not ugly,
It’s true that it sucks, but whatever.
“Brother. I’m suffocating…”
“Let me go?”
“Yeah.”
Perhaps because I hugged her too tightly, Gye-ri said she was choking and kicked me with his leg, so I let go of my arms.
Then, I was frightened for a moment as he rode right on top of me,
Fortunately or not, he didn’t sit down, but instead went behind my back and hugged me from behind until I was suffocating.
Of course, the strength was too short for me to be suffocated, and on the contrary, Ji was suffocating.
“You said you were choking.”
“Is your brother still not breathing?”
“What are you going to hold your breath for? It won’t be blocked unless you cover your mouth and nose.”
“⋯Turn it on and block it?”
“Why do you keep trying to hold my breath?”
“Because it would be unfair if I was the only one blocked.”
Winter, who used to put his arms under his armpits and bite his body, this time wrapped his arms around his neck and strangled me.
⋯This is a bit suffocating.
It’s okay to choke…
It’s very suffocating to let the sound of my breath flow into my eardrums.
“What is it, brother? Are you still not breathing?”
“Stuck. Let go because it’s blocked.”
“Really?”
“⋯Really choking.”
I really pretended to be suffocated, and Gye-ryeo seemed to be satisfied as well, relaxing his arms and clinging to my back.
However, the sound of breathing, which was the cause of choking, did not stop.
Sew up, and inhale,
Haaa⋯., And exhaled.
His breath is neither strong nor weak, so the nape of his neck is quite itchy.
“Brother. Ruler?”
“Sit down. Yet.”
“⋯Are you really going to sleep?”
“Then, will you fake sleep?”
“Really? ⋯I only have a cute little sister⋯at home⋯?”
“⋯Aren’t you ashamed to say that?”
“⋯I’m very shy, so don’t talk to me.”
My younger brother’s hand movements as he poked at my side as a way to stop asking me about everything I know is subtly painful.
⋯I’m really sleepy.
Something, rather than being erotic… I feel very relieved right now.
Sleep like this for an hour and wake up.
“Brother.”
“Why, again.”
“⋯ It’s very exciting.”
He put his hand on my chest and, without my consent, he began to measure my heart rate on his own.
“One, two, three, four… How many times does your heart beat in a minute?”
“If you count like that, how do you know? Time and heartbeat should be measured separately.”
“I originally beat once every second, so I just need to measure it with my heart. Oppa tells me that he is sleeping, but my heart is beating so fast that even my heart beats fast.”
Then he crushed his chest on my back,
He shared with me the sound of his heart beating at a similar speed.
“⋯You don’t think well, do you?”
“No. ⋯Good night. With my brother.”
“Why does the sleeping child keep bothering me?”
“Because it’s fun to bully my brother. ⋯I was also promised not to fight back.”
“⋯Do you think I won’t fight back?”
“Eh, are you going to break the promise you made earlier? Dog trash. Pervert. ⋯You attack your little sister when you don’t have a mother⋯, ugh!”
In order to annoy Gye-ryeol who bullied me, I removed my hand that was holding me and turned around to cover my mouth.
Oh, it’s not like I blocked it with my hand or mouth.
He just put his face on my chest to tell me to be quiet.
When the noise disappears, the mind becomes at ease.
It gets warm.
Damp⋯.
“Hey, don’t lick it. T-shirt.”
“Phaaaaa. ⋯Isn’t it because my brother can’t breathe?”
“Okay, I won’t. I won’t… Let’s go to sleep.”
“⋯Are you very tired?”
“⋯Honestly, I’m tired because I slept a little late yesterday.”
I slept late.
But not necessarily because of that.
Listening to lectures, homework, studying.
I’ve been doing this all the time, so even if I’m tired, there are limits to some extent.
But…
There is no limit to being tired because of people.
⋯The group assignments went really well, right?
All the crew members are nice.
All work hard
The atmosphere is good.
I am also diligently organizing the data I researched and sending it to you.
The story goes well.
But…
“So… Let’s sleep like this for an hour, winter.”
“⋯ Oppa, if you’re with me like this, will your tiredness go away?”
“Something doesn’t disappear. ⋯ It’s a problem because it piles up again.”
“I see…”
I am afraid of the things that may be hidden from the eyes looking at me.
I’m going crazy for worrying about it.
Maybe they all think I’m crazy?
⋯Aren’t you actually whispering behind your back?
‘Actually, the other day, I saw senior Kim Ga-eul and senior sister leave the hotel.’
‘You also? I’ve seen them kissing on the street. He just said something to me.’
‘Oh, me too. I’m friends with that winter, but winter told me that he actually had a crush on his older brother~ But I guess it wasn’t a one-sided love? Ugh, brother and sister…’
⋯I’m tired of these disgusting delusions of persecution.
I know very well that they are not like that.
But…
I am that kind of person
“Brother, if we become independent…”
“Uh.”
“⋯Can you hug me like this all the time?”
“⋯Of course not.”
“Huh. ⋯Thank you.”
But when I feel your body temperature like this,
I don’t have any bad thoughts,
I was relieved.
