Chapter 189 – 189. Get in Hand
Not everything in the world went easily.
I thought I would die from a headache when I immigrated to Canada from Korea, but I couldn’t imagine how many dozens of documents I would have to prepare if I moved to the US again.
Besides, winter is already Canadian, Winter Kim, and I am still Korean Kim Ga-eul.
Even though I didn’t lose my hair, I struggled hard enough to relieve my stress at night, and somehow managed to find a job and get my green card.
Since the two of us have lived well without an accident for over 4 years, I think I will be able to get citizenship in about half a year.
As soon as I was naturalized, I felt a little sorry for Gye-ri, who lives as a foreigner in another country, but these days, I work harder, so wouldn’t it be okay?
Of course, Winter still earns more money.
“Wow, the scenery is crazy. Brother.”
“Quickly take a picture, picture.”
The contraceptive device implanted in the forearm is said to last for three years.
Winter had taken his fourth contraceptive out of his body a month ago, and was suffering from menstrual cramps for the first time in a long time.
Even though she is over 30, her beauty still hasn’t died, and her body looks better than when she was in her 20s, but she can’t help but grow old inside.
Compared to when I was in my prime, I get tired quickly and tend to go through a lot.
The weight has also subtly decreased compared to then.
Still, it’s comforting that I don’t go anywhere.
Even in my 30s, I do it twice a day.
“Brother brother brother. Take one for me too quickly.”
“Do a V, V.”
An island in the Pacific Ocean.
An unusual landscape.
I even thought that the sea seen from the hotel was so beautiful that it was wonderful.
Taking a picture of the gentle horizon being cut in half by Kyeol-gyeol, he exhales a deep breath filled with complex emotions.
“How is it? Did you take a good picture for a lady?”
“Don’t people see you as a high school student if you wear casual clothes?”
“That’s because people here can’t distinguish Asians. No matter how young I look, I’m in my mid-twenties.”
“If you’re in your mid-twenties, you’re young.”
Mom said she was 10 years.
It was long.
She took about 2 more years because of naturalization, so it was actually much longer than 10 years.
Winter doesn’t seem that old, but I feel like I’m getting older day by day.
You can eat all the things that are good for your body, and you can still go through the winter neatly and lightly by exercising, but maybe 10 years is the limit.
It didn’t matter how the birth was registered, so it was true that she thought it would be better to get pregnant at a younger age.
However, I endured it because I did not want to sin against the child to be born.
At the end of note, note, and patience,
Finally, today has come.
Vacation for a week.
I don’t have to look at anyone anymore
You don’t have to be afraid anymore.
Have the ability to take responsibility
Because I’ve prepared all the ways that won’t hurt you.
“⋯Brother.”
“Uh.”
“For now, I… Will I wash alone?”
“⋯Yes. Go wash up.”
I haven’t had sex for about 10 days since I started menstruating after a long time.
No matter how much I searched my memory, there was no record of having endured this long since immigrating.
That’s right, if you look at the dates of the photos you took every day, you can count on one hand the number of days you missed two days.
Thanks to that, I was as excited as when I was young, not suitable for my age.
Last month, when I was wearing my school uniform and messing around, I wasn’t this excited.
“Oh, did you wash everything?”
“Huh. My brother is washing too. I’ll be changing my clothes.”
Winter, who washed up sooner than expected, wrapped me in a towel and put me into the bathroom.
⋯Looks like you prepared something.
I have something prepared too.
I’m not going to take a day off, but because every day is a day.
I could feel the excitement that was not befitting the age of each other even if we didn’t say it.
“⋯This is enough for someone in their 30s, well.”
Evaluating the handsome man in his 30s in the bathroom mirror, he wiped her entire body with the warm stream of water.
Yes, what I’m in my mid-thirties now, but it’s not bad.
Even though I am Asian, I am often approached, so I think it is okay.
Instead, it’s a problem that Geum-gyeol gets 15 times more flirting, but when that happens, I just need to snuggle into my side.
Even the lower part of the body, which has been hardened to the level of 10 years ago thanks to the accumulation of it for quite a long time, is meticulously wiped off, and goes out while shaking off the water.
Then, when I turn my head toward the glass,
“⋯Hi. Brother.”
There was Winter in a dress.
A simple pure white mermaid dress that fits snugly to the body.
Hair tied back but not covered.
A snowflake-shaped necklace that was given to me as a gift when I just crossed the line.
No veil, no bouquet, no ceremonial gloves.
No lace, no flashy, but I could tell.
It’s a wedding dress
Sister’s.
“I was wondering if I should wear something flashy… Is it hard to wear alone? So… Just comfortable.”
“⋯I didn’t prepare a suit.”
“Of course I prepared it, fool. ⋯Wear it.”
Then he handed me the suit lying neatly on the bed.
A black suit worn whenever there is an investigation.
She puts down the towel she was brushing off her still wet hair, takes the clothes, and puts them on her skin one by one.
“⋯It feels so strange.”
“Why. Your suit suits you very well.”
“I only wore it during the investigation. It’s really… Weird because I wear it on celebrations.”
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to wear it when there was a slope.
But I was busy, so I didn’t have time to go back to Korea, and I didn’t have a chance to wear this unless it was a survey I couldn’t afford to miss.
Wearing the clothes I always wore only on sad days on happy days, even if tears didn’t come out, I could feel the tears inside.
“Brother.”
“⋯Uh.”
“⋯.”
At me who was immersed in emotion, Gye-ri raised his left hand and held out his chin to me.
⋯You know.
Well, I guessed roughly.
I was expecting the dress to be in your carrier.
So you know what’s in my suitcase.
You said you would give it to me a few years ago, but you asked for it later.
My sister hates vanity, but if you think of her as a talisman against flirtatious boys, she’ll feel cheap.
I lean down slightly and look through my suitcase, then take out the thing I had prepared and put it in my hand.
“What. Won’t you propose?”
“There is no point in knowing everything. ⋯Reach out your hand.”
“It’s not romantic, really.”
“Brother and sister are romantic, so where do you use them?”
“Well, they are siblings.”
I lift the left hand of Gye-ryeol on my palm and put the small ring in my hand on the ring finger of my left hand.
As if it had found its owner, the diamond ring slides down on the ring finger and the winter fits perfectly on the finger.
“⋯Pretty.”
Winter stared blankly at her covenant filled with her own ring finger, and she smiled and put her left hand to her mouth.
The sun beating down over the balcony feels like light radiating from Winter, adding even more beauty to it.
The translucent fluttering curtain looks like a veil.
Your skin shining in pure white color,
Your eyes,
Shallow tears form more beautiful drops than jewels.
“⋯Brother.”
“Yes, winter.”
“I knew everything, but why did I feel so heartbroken?”
“Originally, the more clichéd the story is, the more touching it is.”
A story so obvious.
A younger sister who loved her older brother,
A brother who loved his sister.
A clichéd and stereotypical story of getting happiness in one’s hands after twists and turns.
“I’m very happy… But tears keep flowing. Really. It’s stupid.”
“I came all the way here because I was stupid. If I was smart, I would have beaten him in the middle.”
“Oh, yes. ⋯Being an idiot made me happy.”
However, it is not simply because of the happy ending that I am moved by the obvious story.
Because the days I went through to be happy were never obvious.
Because it was hard.
Because it was painful
Even so, I wanted to be happy.
That’s why I tried
‘Cause I’m happy now
“⋯Ah, brother. Give me your brother’s ring too. ⋯I’ll put you in.”
“⋯Uh.”
A wedding with just the two of you.
The only guests were the sunlight shining on us from afar.
Originally, I had no intention of crying.
It’s a trip that I came to bear fruit because I love it with excitement.
My head was full of thoughts of being happy.
Full of happiness keeps leaking out of my eyes.
“Ha… Whoa. Brother.”
“Love you. ⋯I love you, Winter.”
“⋯Don’t hit the player, you idiot⋯.”
We lived together for such a long time.
We’ve loved each other for so long
It was all thought of and planned.
It’s just getting closer to the goal.
It’s a natural story.
Waves of roaring emotions do not stop.
“⋯Thank you. For loving me even though I’m your own brother.”
“Me too… Thank you for loving me as a little sister. ⋯I love you.”
“⋯Thank you.”
“Me too…”
With the rippling surface of the water as the background.
Blowing curtains and hair blowing in the sea breeze.
A brother and sister who are suspiciously close,
Hugging each other, they took another step closer to happiness.
Through all the dark roads
Laughing and crying
Like now.
All the way in the future
I will love you.
Even siblings.
Because they are siblings
