Suspiciously Close Siblings (Going Up)

Chapter 2: Funeral (2)



When I returned home, my younger brother set the table in front of the TV in the living room.

I took a french fry out of the bag and threw it at him, but he tried to tear it up, so I opened it instead.

I turned on the food channel I was tired of watching while on duty, poured beer, and took a bite of fries.

I was a little envious of the laughter of the celebrities who were screaming at the top of their lungs as if they were having fun.

"Why did you buy so many?"

"If you have leftovers, what will you eat later?"

Wash away the saltiness left in your mouth with beer.

It's bitter, so it feels good to smell the alcohol.

It was a little uncomfortable watching TV while feeling the coolness of the carbonic acid.

Hmm... What should I mention to keep the conversation going?

Since he was a man who distanced himself from society, he would not be able to communicate with a high school girl.

"Brother."

"Because?"

"Why are you drinking?"

Suddenly, his brother asked him a philosophical question:

Why do you drink?

Because the alcohol is there.

Isn't this a bit...?

—It's just, well, it's the atmosphere. When you drink and get drunk, you laugh even at trivial things.

—Does your brother like to drink?

—I don't hate him.

—Then don't drink.

—…Do you want to drink with the elders of the family?

I like to drink and I like to drink, but

I like a place where we can enjoy a drink together.

There... It's hell

"Is your alcohol going to go down there?"

"Because? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"You know, why do you ask?"

"…So, you feel uncomfortable with me?"

I'd be lying if I said there was nothing wrong with drinking with my high school sister.

But what... You're going to drink next year anyway, right?

If you're going to drink, it wouldn't hurt to learn judo from an older brother.

But don't tell your mother.

"Is there anything that might make you feel uncomfortable?"

"…Are you my friend?"

"I tried to be your friend since high school, but you were weirdly shy."

To be honest, until high school, I had a bit of a rough side.

Anyway, it's a subjective evaluation after taking the CSAT, but I've become quite agitated.

Be filial to your mother and take care of your little sister.

With my friends, I evolved from being boring to being lazy.

"That… Because I'm afraid."

"…Are you afraid?"

"It's scary when someone you're not used to suddenly pretends to be around."

… It is?

Well, I also think it would be scary if my little brother suddenly acted cute.

—Anyway, there's nothing wrong with being close with siblings.

-That...? Hey?

—And if you and I are in a bad mood, my mother will scold me.

-Because?

—...I heard something after the exam.

Her mother's soft, lecturing voice frightened her so much that it sometimes appeared in her dreams.

A kick in the butt would have been better.

—Your brother is also aware that I was serious at that moment.

—I was a little emotional, but… You know, because you're a student too. It's stressful.

—I'm not up to that.

—Well, what is it? I was kind of grateful that he called me every weekend.

—…That's what mom did.

On the other hand, she is a very kind and admirable younger sister, perhaps because she made Longbi her teacher.

I don't know if it's because I haven't seen her in half a year.

—Whatever the reason, from my point of view, I felt grateful. Except for you and mom, no one has contacted me first.

—…Don't you have friends?

—There are, but they only make fun of me through KakaoTalk and don't call me even if I die. -No

Is it because they are close?

—I don't know, I'll have to ask them to buy me something to eat later.

As I drank the rest of the beer, I felt like I was getting a little drunk.

Maybe it's because I haven't drunk for a long time, I'm really getting sick.

"Are you going to drink?"

"Don't know."

Still, judging by the way he tilts his glass, it looks like he can drink it.

Seeing that her face doesn't turn red, it is true that they are mother and daughter.

-Brother.

-Hey.

—…I miss my first year of high school.

—Why, suddenly?

—The house was nice back then.

His brother opened a new can and watched TV.

"If I was tired outside, I could rest at home."

"Uh."

"I think I'm going crazy because I'm tired at home."

"…"

"You know that when I am having a bad time, my mother is also having a bad time… More bad."

What should I tell him?

If you tell someone who works hard to work hard, you will only get angry.

Even if you tell someone who is going through a difficult time to cheer up, you will only wear them down.

If she were a mother, she would have comforted me by saying, "I love you, my daughter."

I probably wouldn't do it.

"Winter."

"…Hey."

"I bought something sweet. Try it."

I tore off one of her chocolates and put it in her sister's mouth.

When you are depressed, the more depressing thoughts you have, the more depressed you become.
