Suspiciously Close Siblings (Going Up)

"Gyeol, I'm going to the bookstore."

"Why?"

"I'm going to buy some certification books."

"⋯You dare to go out?"

"While you're on your way, look around for other things and come."

"Are you coming over for lunch?"

"No, I will come before eating."

"⋯Be careful with the car."

"Even if you don't tell me, I will take care of it."

On Sunday morning, when the sun was not yet strong, I left the house behind my younger brother who was lying on the sofa.

September is also slowly running towards the end, but the summer spirit has not gone away yet. It's not that hot.

If you blink like this again, it's winter in an instant.

True to the name, as a person whose fall weather is so nice, it is a bit disappointing.

After walking for a long time, I entered a large used bookstore.

Although it is only a used bookstore, it is practically no different from a bookstore.

While looking around the bookshelf without a destination and taking out this and that one by one,

A very short girl caught her eye.

⋯You're my brother's friend.

Why are you here?

"⋯Ah, that. Maybe…"

"Uh, hello. Winter is your friend, right?"

"Ah yes."

Perhaps he noticed my gaze, he awkwardly greeted me.

⋯ What's your name?

I don't know because I've never heard of it.

"Do you live around here?"

"Yes. That's how I became close with winter."

"⋯I see."

"⋯.'

⋯ What should I say?

Come to think of it, do I really need to talk about it?

Not even close friends

"⋯How about winter?"

"Winter?"

"I heard he wasn't coming to school this week, so I called him and his voice was fine again…"

"⋯It was just a brief moment. It's fine now."

"I'm glad…"

"⋯."

"⋯."

⋯I hate this awkward atmosphere.

To be honest, I want to leave as soon as possible.

"⋯That, older brother."

"Uh."

"That, maybe…"

Her mouth froze as if she was trying to say something, but she couldn't get it out.

⋯ It's frustrating.

Just say it.

"⋯Is that what you meant to say last time?"

"Yes yes?"

"You saw it. That. In my room."

"⋯."

Her face flushed red and she began to nod with her head down.

⋯ What is that?

With that much

"⋯I know it may seem a bit strange, but originally I and Winter are a little close. Uh… They feel like very close sisters?"

"⋯ Yes?"

"That… So. There are a lot of friendships that have been built through fighting, so it means that we are not shy about each other. Well, it's not that I don't understand your misunderstanding."

"⋯Isn't it?"

Actually gourd

My brother and I have never had a fight since elementary school.

⋯You have to talk to fight.

We became friends after I went to college.

He might have fought when he was younger, but it's not in his brain.

Because I can't remember, and there's no way my brother can remember.

"Well, I'm grateful that Winter is worried, but there's no need for you to misunderstand and do that. It's just a little… Just a lot of good things."

"Yes."

"Do you have anything more to say?"

"Oh, no."

"Then I have an appointment, so I'll leave first. Hi."

"Ah yes. Goodbye."

He left his seat, leaving his brother's friend alone.

To be honest, I don't think misunderstandings will be easily resolved by saying this.

Nonetheless, the first thing I said was

Just because it's annoying.

If you don't bring up this story, you won't be able to end the conversation amicably.

It's a waste of time for both of us to hesitate awkwardly with each other.

I bought an electrician's book and went to the bookstore.

In fact, the test itself should be taken in the 4th grade, but

Anyway, I do something related to my major.

I'll be very busy after I go back to school, so I'll have to look at it when I have some free time.

If you have a book in your room, you won't forget it.

⋯ Although it seems that the probability of becoming an interior is very high.

***

While I was out, I stopped at a nearby bread shop, bought some kinds of bread, and returned home.

All three of my family members like bread, so when I see it, I buy it.

It feels like a sparrow in a mill.

I open the Lululala front door with a bag of bread in one hand.

"⋯."

Her brother was asleep on his side on the sofa.

⋯With an eyepatch on.

"⋯ Sleep?"

"⋯."

⋯If it's dazzling, go into the room and close the curtains to sleep.

Seeing her sister sleeping soundly with her mouth slightly open and her eyes closed made me want to play a joke.

I tossed the bread on the floor in moderation and winter pricked my cheek.

⋯ It's not happening.

⋯.

She looked very cold because of her short sleeves and shorts, so I took out a blanket and covered her.

Then, after swallowing her breath, I brought her a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

I left the shower head on and was hit with water in a daze, then came out after taking a bath and wiping my hair with a towel.

⋯.

Kicked off the blanket

I went over to the sofa and sat down with her legs spread out to look at her face.

I'm not sure if it's because my eyes are covered.

She pressed her cheeks once more, but still didn't seem to wake up.

He removed her index finger and gently picked up her ear lobe and touched it.

I was still in dreamland.

⋯.

"⋯Kim⋯winter⋯."

"⋯."

It came close enough to touch my ear and made a small noise that only Winter could hear.

⋯ Won't you wake up like this?

I don't even know if I can lift it.

"⋯Huh⋯wooh."

"⋯."

I couldn't seem to get up, so I blew air into my ear hole.

Although she seemed to sleep invariably,

My body trembled slightly.

⋯.

I breathed in my ears again.

⋯ My body flinched again.

"⋯Waking up."

"⋯What are you doing?"

When I took off the blindfold, I saw that her eyes were already open.

⋯ I can't pretend to sleep.

According to common sense, if you blow air into your ears, of course you should wake up.

Or even the body toss and turn.

"I'm back and I want to sleep."

"So why?"

"It's lunchtime soon."

"Other than that, ⋯why were you kidding me?"

"⋯Just?"

After answering, Kyeol-gyeol clung to my shoulder on the sofa.

He put his chin on my shoulder with his arms wrapped around him so he wouldn't run away.

And then

I lightly bit my ear.

"Evil!"

"What?"

As soon as his ears were stimulated, he reflexively tried to get away from Gyeolgi.

However, if you pull your body back with your arms tightly wrapped around you, it will only pull you away instead of moving away.

Of course, Winter, who was on the sofa, was about to roll down,

Unconsciously, he was pressed to the floor while hugging the back of his head.

"Ouch."

"⋯Ah, brother⋯."

"⋯Are you okay?"

"I'm okay. ⋯What about your brother?"

"⋯Me too."

To be honest, it was a bit painful to be stuck on the floor as if I was being crushed, but

I thought it was self-inflicted, so I didn't bother to say it.

"⋯Brother."

"Why."

"I'm thinking of playing a prank on my younger brother while he's sleeping."

"I wasn't kidding, I was trying to wake you up."

"Who wakes up like that?"

"Here you are."

"You'll be mad if I wake you up like that."

"No, are you not going to get angry?"

"⋯Really?"

Of course, since I'm the sparrow who wakes up earlier, that won't happen.

If you wake up like this…

⋯.

Scary

"Try it if you can."

"⋯Look forward to it."

"⋯I'm looking forward to it, so can you step aside?"

"Why?"

"It's heavy."

"I am not heavy."

"Even if it's not heavy, if you press down like that with your whole body, it's heavy."

"⋯Then take your hands off your head first."

"When you wake up."

"From my brother."

We put our faces on our shoulders and chatted in each other's ears, so we couldn't see the end.

⋯It hurts a bit to push it out with force.

So I put my remaining arm on my back and gave it my strength.

If you're suffocating, I'll release you.

"⋯."

"⋯."

⋯.

As we hugged each other, the sound of my heart was transmitted to me.

Pounding, pounding.

The vibration, which had been fine until now, started to get faster and faster.

Thump thump, and

"⋯Brother."

"Uh."

"Stuffy."

"I meant to make you feel frustrated."

"⋯What do you mean?"

"It means to get out of the way."

"Your brother hugged you."

"I'll let you go, so get out of the way."

"⋯I hate it."

⋯Really.

Why are you doing this

"⋯Brother, did you take a shower?"

"How did you know?"

"Your hair is wet."

"Because it hasn't dried yet."

"What did you do outside?"

"Uh…"

⋯Should I say it or not?

Wouldn't it be better to be honest?

⋯I want to talk from a distance.

"⋯I saw your friend at the bookstore."

"⋯Who?"

"The shortest of the friends who came last time."

"What were you talking about?"

"Well, they were worried about you taking a break from school. He said he was fine."

"⋯I see."

"Come to think of it, what's his name?"

"⋯Why?"

"I don't know the name, so I don't know what to call it."

"⋯New country."

"That country asked for that last time…"

While talking, I bit my ear again.

⋯It's unfair.

I gave more strength to my arms to mean not to do it.

But,

As I hug you tighter,

Even winter did not want to fall from my ears.

"Ha…Eup…"

"⋯."

It seemed that if I made a small mistake, the sound would leak out.

Barely,

As we exhaled heavily,

The bell rang.

"⋯."

"⋯."

I realized firsthand that I couldn't even scream if I was too surprised.

We shuddered at each other and looked towards the intercom where the noise was coming from.

⋯Fortunately, it was a courier.

"⋯Let's get up."

"⋯."

"You might not be able to pass the common entrance."

"⋯I hate it."

Then it clung to me again and bit my ear.

⋯.

This is why.

I should have warned you not to bite.

Still, don't touch my ears

You did

He turned his body over.

I could see the face of the winter beneath me.

It's red.

"⋯."

"Brother…?"

"⋯ Whoa."

He let out a long breath.

I swallowed a big saliva.

"Oh⋯, t⋯."

He pulled his arm between the floor and his waist.

His fingers naturally touched his side.

My body twitched as I slipped my little finger into the T-shirt.

The hand pressed to the head did not bleed.

But the texture of her hair was so soft that she didn't realize it at all.

My neck hurt so much that I put my head on the nape of my neck.

I took a deep breath and smelled flesh.

It was sweet.

I took the strength off my elbows and knees.

I pressed myself as it was.

⋯.

Because of the feeling of touching the chest,

I felt like I was going crazy.

"⋯Winter."

"⋯."

"Listen to your waist."

"⋯ Huh?"

"Remove your arm. It doesn't come off when pressed."

"Ah, yes."

Barely though,

It wasn't crazy.

Winter tossed and turned his back, but it didn't work very well because I was heavy.

⋯ He stood up on her knees, holding her helplessly.

They rested their heads on each other's shoulders.

How long has it been

After taking in a few breaths, I relaxed, but nothing changed.

"⋯I bought bread, so let's eat bread for lunch."

"Yes."

It was only after I finished this sentence that I was finally able to fall.

Winter was in a hurry and hurriedly ran into the room.

My bones ached here and there, probably because it was a hardwood floor.

My body was so sticky that I took a shower again.

Fortunately, the courier was quietly placed in front of the front door.

⋯ It's not that I didn't drink,

I didn't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate.
