Chapter 250 – Extraversion. Suspiciously Awkward Siblings (2)
“⋯ Hey.”
A familiar but awkward voice wakes me from a light sleep.
But I didn’t want to open my eyes because I wanted to go back to the fluffy dream I had just had.
Oh really.
Who is disturbing my sleep
Even in the middle of a hazy consciousness, he makes a nasty snort, like complaining.
The awkward man who heard that scratched his head.
“⋯Kim Winter.”
Calling my name in a deep voice.
Awkward but familiar tone.
For some reason, that tone calms me down, so I curl up and try to fall into a deeper sleep.
However, the troublesome person may have come here to torment me, but he does not easily let me sleep.
Grabbing him by the shoulder and shaking him carefully,
“Winter.”
Call my name again
⋯Oh, that really bothers me.
At this point, I don’t want to wake up from sleep even if I have come.
In order to strongly express the will of ‘I will sleep!’, I squeeze my vocal cords that are not listening properly because I am sleepy.
“Ughhhhh!”
“⋯.”
When I let out a loud grumbling sound, the annoying and awkward person took his hand off my shoulder in amazement.
Then, away from me, let out a long sigh.
“⋯ Ha. Go in and sleep a little.”
He was talking to me muttering, but my consciousness was too hazy to understand exactly what he meant.
Not wanting to hear any more noises that disturb my sleep, I cover my head with what I’m holding in my hand, exhale quietly, and return to my own dreamland.
Sup⋯, ha.
Silence fills this space, and by the time I’m about to return to that soft, soft sleep I was in,
Again, awkward hands touch my body.
“Oh, wake up…”
The person who bothers me sighs as if he’s bothering me too, and then starts putting his hand on my shoulder.
Even on the legs.
The forearm passes through the thigh, stopping just before it touches the calf.
The sleep that was pushed in at the moment suddenly flew away, and various imaginations began to come up, and a sense of reality returned.
What?
What?
Who is this?
“⋯.”
I couldn’t figure out what it was, so I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn’t open my eyes easily because I couldn’t imagine what would happen if I was caught waking up.
I just close my eyes and pray that the disparate touch of my skin will quickly disappear.
But the feeling doesn’t go away
Are you telling me that this is a dream and not reality?
My body floats in the air,
Fluffy in a little warm embrace,
I was hugged.
“Oh…”
The person who grumbled and lifted me up in the air walked lightly with careful steps so as not to wake me up, and slowly opened the door.
When the familiar smell of paper that I always smelled flowed into my nose, he held me up for a moment and stood still.
Take a few steps inside,
I gently put the day I was holding onto the bed,
He covered him with a warm blanket.
“⋯ Whew.”
Then, scratching his head, he trudged outside and carefully closed the door with a bean.
⋯Ah.
I wanted to get something out of my mouth,
It’s not made up of the right words.
It’s not exact, but at least it’s the most similar word.
“What is this?”
What,
This.
I opened my eyes and tossed the thing I was holding in my hand, and it hit the wall with a bean and fell back on top of my head with a bang.
But it didn’t hurt.
It’s just a square cushion.
“Ha…”
After holding back the cushion that had fallen on my head, I looked at the ceiling, which was so dark that I couldn’t see it, and pondered what had happened.
⋯I fell asleep on the sofa.
After dinner, sitting on the sofa and watching TV, I heard that I often yawn.
Lie down in a more comfortable position and watch TV all the time,
My mom sat down next to me, and she changed the channel to the news, so I just stared at it.
It seems that he was asleep at some point.
However,
I guess I fell asleep too much.
“I’m ashamed…”
⋯The person who kept bothering me, needless to say, must be my brother.
Because in the first place, he was the only male in our house.
Seeing how black it is outside, it’s late at night.
Seeing that I was sleeping on the sofa in the living room, not in my room, my brother must have tried to wake me up and put me on the bed.
But, I must say to my brother…
“You should have woken up, you fool…”
Like ‘Eh..’.
Like ‘uuuuu!’.
It’s not even being affectionate.
All of a sudden, I said that to my older brother…
Ha.
He even took it into his arms.
At least I was afraid of something, so I should say it was fortunate that I didn’t open my eyes.
The moment my brother lifted me up, I wish I could open my eyes too.
It must have been embarrassing to the point that it would be difficult to express the words that both of them were awkward.
Ha⋯.
“⋯I can’t sleep⋯.”
Maybe it’s because I made a sound of complaining to my brother,
Maybe it’s because my brother jumped on me, and I was laid on the bed and covered meticulously with the blanket.
Or lying on the sofa, maybe it’s because I slept too cool,
I can not sleep.
My heart full of shame,
Are you trying to keep me from falling asleep?
It was thumping over and over again.
***
“Good night.”
“Yes, my daughter. Sit down and eat.”
In the end, that day I couldn’t fall asleep until dawn, and I could barely fall asleep after 2 o’clock.
My brother popped out even in my dreams, but luckily he didn’t bother me that much.
Yawning with tired eyes, I go to the opposite side of my older brother who is eating breakfast first, greet me, and sit down.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Uh?”
“Did you sleep well?”
There seems to be some hostility
You seem a little angry
⋯It seems that he cares a little,
I don’t know, but for some reason, my brother started talking to me in the morning.
“⋯Yes, I slept well.”
“Okay?”
“Huh.”
“I see.”
There was a bit more communication than usual, but the conversation didn’t last as long as expected.
⋯Actually, unfortunately, I couldn’t sleep well because of you.
But it’s not cool as a younger sister to dare to say that.
If you think carefully about why your brother asked that…
Hmmm⋯.
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it’s anything to worry about.
I also felt like a half-sister.
⋯Have I been heavy?
That’s too much, really.
“I really enjoyed the meal.”
While I was lost in my thoughts and was eating with chopsticks, my brother finished the meal first.
Well, oppa goes to school by bus, so it’s always like that.
I was really shy until I fell asleep yesterday, but after clearing my head with a short sleep, it was amazing that I didn’t feel so embarrassed.
Well, after all, it’s just a heartwarming story about your younger brother sleeping on the sofa, and your older brother taking you to your room, right?
It just doesn’t get along very well between us.
Normally, whether I sleep on the sofa or on the floor,
It would have been a normal reaction to just glance around and walk into the room.
Yesterday was a deal no matter what the wind was.
⋯I never gave permission to touch it.
“My daughter.”
“Huh.”
“⋯Were you very tired yesterday?”
“⋯ Huh?”
As I was eating rice that I used to eat with chopsticks, now with a spoon, my mother sat next to me and started talking to me with a worried expression.
Umm⋯, ah.
Come to think of it, my mom turned the TV to the news channel and fell asleep.
After thinking about it, it wouldn’t have been a problem if my brother had woken me up, but if my mother had woken me up.
Even though she tried to be resentful of her mother for no reason, she took a bite of stewed radish that was better than stewed fish, and all those unfilial thoughts disappeared ⋯.
“Ah, because I fell asleep yesterday rather than watching the news…”
“You don’t wake up even if your brother wakes you up.”
“⋯.”
But,
She turned into an unfilial daughter-in-law again.
⋯If you’ve been watching, wake me up.
“Your brother picked you up and took you to your room. Know?”
“⋯I don’t know.”
“Oh, I tried to wake you up too, but you didn’t show any signs of waking up.”
⋯You woke me up.
Eight.
Eight eight.
Oh yeah.
It’s all my fault
Yes, I was wrong for falling asleep on the sofa⋯.
⋯ It’s really too much.
Is it so wrong for a middle school girl who is eager for her studies to sleep a little more?
“Are you that tired?”
“⋯I’m just sleepy from the news.”
“It’s vacation soon, so don’t overdo it and get some rest. You’re fine anyway.”
“⋯I have to study anyway when I go to high school, but I’m not overdoing it.”
“I’m talking about your brother. ⋯If you study like your brother, you won’t be able to hold on.”
But unlike me, who only had thoughts of her unfilial piety, my mother was talking with a serious worried face while stroking her hair.
⋯Really, if I do this, I’m the only one who has become a bad person.
“Oh, I just fell asleep yesterday because I was sleepy from the news. It was also a good time to sleep.”
“⋯Okay. Eat food. And eat the fish too.”
“Yes.”
I didn’t do anything wrong, but feeling a little guilty,
In front of her mother watching, she waved her chopsticks beautifully and ate the delicious stewed fish.
“Huh…”
As her brother made a half-death sound,
Today, I was brushing my hair and coming out of the bathroom.
⋯When did you go in to wash, that person.
Ha.
I’ve been there before, me.
I’ll be back, or it’s a relationship that won’t work well.
Just pretending to be your brother for no reason.
⋯You’re freaking out, really.
Plaguy.
Eight,
Take a good look at the exam in a few months.
