Chapter 129 – 129. We
“⋯Ah. Daughter. Are you awake?”
“Yeah.”
The mother’s way of responding as if there were no problems.
In comparison, the younger brother’s voice shook seriously.
⋯You have to be patient.
You can somehow skip it for now and think about it later.
“It’s a test until today, isn’t it? Sleep more, more You don’t have classes in the morning in winter, right?”
“Ah, yes.”
When Kyeol-gyeol’s face came into view, his composure revived.
I must not collapse.
Because if I fall, you will fall too.
If you’re going to collapse, it’s better for me to accept that you collapse.
Because I’m your brother
“I was talking to your brother for a while, so she can go back to sleep. Winter.”
Her restless brother goes into the bathroom, and she quickly comes out and goes back to her room this time.
As far as she is concerned with her daughter, she is the kind of mother who is more generous than anyone else.
In a way, it is natural.
You must be afraid because you don’t know what kind of answer will come back to Winter.
“⋯Because he has an exam today. Thinking about your grades, you should let him sleep well.”
But the reality is worse than imagined,
Mom doesn’t know anything yet.
You may have vaguely sensed the direction of the emotions that Winter had for you.
But its size, you still don’t know at all.
“Son.”
You haven’t even noticed my feelings yet.
Because you misunderstood me as just a proud son.
“⋯Yes.”
But,
The basis for inferring the truth overflows and overflows.
From a certain point on, the relationship between the siblings went beyond being friendly and was at a dubious level.
“You said you were sleeping on your own.”
I don’t know if I’m going to have a face-to-face class, but my daughter-in-law insists on going out and living.
Apparently broke up with her boyfriend too,
Even if there was, it would have no meaning as long as I lived with my brother.
“I heard you asked your dad to buy you a house? I’ll tell my mother too.”
At least because of money, it is impossible to see it by living together.
I want to make a living… The speculations that look the most appropriate.
“⋯I was going to tell you later.”
All of a sudden, it reached her mother’s ears.
It’s just a pointless complaint.
Of course, what you say to your father will flow to your mother as well.
“My mom wants me to spend the winter alone, so I’m sending you off.”
“⋯Yes.”
No.
I was also the one who said that Gye-ri wants to live on his own.
I was the one who said that I would live with her brother.
The result of everything being put together here and there in my mother’s head.
“⋯Mom believes in her son.”
What part of me do you believe in?
Did you get accepted into a decent university?
Did you go to the army bravely?
Did you do well instead of supporting your brother during the college entrance exam?
“How do you encourage your son to read well? Mom won’t say anything.”
Not all.
Don’t believe me
You just have to trust me.
Her daughter was temporarily weakened by her broken heart,
The only person she could rely on was Ji-hyung.
Wait a minute and you’ll be fine again.
Hopefully that won’t happen
Can’t happen
“Oh, and your mother will share your own room with her father. Don’t just meet you guys.”
“⋯ Yes?”
“Dad wouldn’t be upset if he knew that the winter was bad. Mom will take care of it. Just tell me who will live near the university later.”
⋯ If not that, then this.
He is telling me to be a trustworthy son.
He must be shouting to come back onto the road instead of falling off the road.
Don’t fall into bad ways.
Walk in the right way
Are you saying that?
“Anyway, Mom understands everything. She’ll go back and give her a good read over the winter. He must have been surprised.”
“⋯ Yes?”
“She probably didn’t want her mother to see her like that either. ⋯I really hate it when kids who are usually in and out of classes like Geum-gyeol show their weak sides.”
Maybe not even that.
It’s all my delusion.
Overinterpretation.
“⋯She should do well on her exam. Who pays for tuition, but if you can’t see it, why not use it?”
In fact, mom may be just talking about the obvious.
I’m just worried because my daughter seems to be having a hard time, but maybe I’m distorting and accepting it by myself.
I may have been stabbed for nothing because I did a lot of things wrong.
Just like mom doesn’t know us,
We don’t even know mom.
“Go in and let winter heal you. I’ll wake you up later, so get up and eat together. Autumn, don’t you have classes in the morning too?”
“⋯Yes. All right.”
“Okay. ⋯ Then mom should sleep more too. I woke up for a while and I’m sleepy again.”
Her mother got up first from the sofa and passed away to her master bedroom.
But I couldn’t get up for a while.
I don’t even know if I was caught or not.
Are you really noticing everything between us and admonishing me?
I wonder if Kyeol-ryeol only realized what he likes to the level of depending on me.
Or is it because her daughter is having a hard time, is she just lamenting?
I don’t know.
All you can know is…
That there is someone I must protect.
“⋯Brother?”
The door was already slightly open, revealing a crack, and I saw the person slightly.
A face that doesn’t look sleepy at all.
It doesn’t look like she’s crying.
⋯Good thing.
“Did you hear everything?”
“After going out and coming back…”
This time, close the door meticulously and tightly, making sure no sound leaks out.
⋯You should listen to your mother.
Hey, it’s a test until today.
You should take good care of your brother and stroke him.
She strides onto the bed, covers herself with the same blanket, and lies down.
“Winter. In our old days.”
“Yes.”
“You both said you wanted to play a character who got hurt after breaking up while dating.”
A plan to fool her mother.
But it was too flimsy to call it a plan or a ruse.
Anyway, if you share love with each other, it will definitely show.
It was just an improvisation to hide something obvious.
“Didn’t we play?”
“Yes.”
⋯Actually, I didn’t do any acting.
It’s hard enough without doing that.
Afraid.
“⋯When will they all be found out, we.”
“⋯Someday?”
“I guess.”
I’m not afraid when I think of a stray future.
It’s because they’re siblings who strayed anyway.
It is a relationship that started from the beginning, wanting a different future.
“I was going to tell my dad… What are you going to do? Brother?”
But every time I think of a future that hasn’t strayed,
I’m scared and goosebumps all over my body.
What if we become fine someday?
What happens when emotions cool down?
Even if it doesn’t cool down, will it be able to withstand it if it hits the wall of reality?
My first and your first.
Your last and mine last.
I promised everything
What if you can’t keep
“I don’t know. ⋯I don’t know either.”
It is an unknown space.
I can’t imagine myself becoming like that.
Winter, which has changed in that way, doesn’t come to mind either.
It’s blurry and it’s scarier.
I hope it becomes clear
“⋯Hug me, brother.”
“⋯Yes.”
Maybe that’s why you’re always obsessed with hugs.
The reason why you are obsessed with kissing is probably similar.
If you’re hugging, your eyes blur, then it gets dark.
I can’t see anything.
I can only feel your breath and body temperature.
It is comfortable.
As far as now.
“Winter.”
I want to say.
But I can’t tell my precious people.
Because talking will hurt.
I’ve already said a lot to those who don’t know anything.
But it didn’t make any sense.
Even if we confide our true feelings to strangers, we cannot gain anything but consolation and consolation.
Ordinary human relationships can be maintained.
But couldn’t solve the problem.
“We… Why were you trying to tell Dad?”
“⋯I don’t know either.”
So the only thing left for the elimination method is Dad.
It didn’t matter if that person got hurt,
I’m not familiar with anyone
That’s not to say that I didn’t, so I just chose it.
I will do it somehow
Could there be some way we don’t know about?
There were no plans, no expectations.
“⋯Pat my hair, oppa.”
Dizzy thoughts mix, but as soon as I stroke your hair, it comes loose one by one.
However, it is already so complicated that the beginning and the end are unknown, and there is no sign of unraveling.
I know how to untangle the tangled thread.
⋯If you cut it off, it will come undone easily.
But that’s why it’s not thread, it’s thread.
Can’t choose that
“Will you be able to do well on the test today?”
“⋯I’m not affected by that kind of thing. Are you okay.”
“…Well. It was the same during the mock exam last year.”
In the end, turning around and turning around.
Even if you turn off the switch right before the bomb explodes, there is nothing you can do until it explodes.
Someday…
You have to press the switch again.
“Now. Winter ⋯Get a good night’s sleep and wake up and think.”
⋯I have to say.
Should I have told you before I got caught?
I have no idea what to say.
When to tell
Can we talk right?
Would you please listen?
“⋯Brother.”
Lying no longer makes sense.
There are no lies anymore.
Now you’re lucky enough to notice only a part of it, but one day you’ll notice all of it.
Unless we give up.
In the not-so-distant future, you have no choice but to come to the truth that you don’t want to see.
Already,
Once doubted, it cannot be erased.
“If you sleep cuddling… Then mom again…”
“⋯I hope you understand. Until today.”
How long will you understand
Brothers and sisters do this.
Love you
To kiss
Would you understand even if you knew that it overlaps with your body?
“⋯You know, brother.”
“Stop talking and go to sleep. ⋯Go to sleep.”
“Love you.”
I didn’t know that love was such a scary word.
It’s intense enough to burn your brain if you’re bored,
They often drive us into a corner that makes us want to be harsh.
As if it were a test.
Do you still love me?
“⋯Answer me, brother.”
“Love you.”
Uh.
I still love you
Emotions just flare up.
Because my brother and sister are like selfish tree frogs.
No, no, no, the more you repeat it, the darker it becomes.
“Winter.”
“Yes.”
“⋯May. June. When?”
“June.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to be late?”
“No. ⋯Being a bride in June was my dream.”
“It’s not about marriage. You can’t even get married before that.”
“⋯Because even if you can’t get married, you can have a wedding.”
Soon in May.
Sometime in June.
⋯Maybe hesitating until the end of the end of June.
In the end, there was only one way to solve everything.
Actually⋯,
I knew it for a long time.
Because it’s our job.
We have to say
We have to solve
⋯ Even if the results are not good.
We have to accept
