Suspiciously Close Siblings (Going Up)

Chapter 6: Sense of Distance (3)



⋯What time is it?

A wrist watch worth 40,000 won was caught in the hand that was swaying in a daze.

1 am.

Did you take too many naps earlier?

I tried to close my eyes again, but my eyelids wouldn't close.

It would have been nice if I had been alert like this when I had to wake up.

He turned on the computer with his toe, but there was nothing to do.

Especially since I only touched the mouse because I was afraid I could hear the sound of the keyboard in the next room.

I looked around to see if there was a good movie and hit it.

I already watched everything worth watching on stream while in the military.

After wandering around the internet aimlessly, I realized.

⋯In the end, if you look like this at this time, the end is obvious.

I've endured it for a long time in the unit, so it's embarrassing if I really think about it.

At least in my conscience, I wanted to abstain for a while.

I threw away my earphones and searched the bookshelf.

It's half the interior, so there are a lot of fairly famous novels.

I picked up one of the books that seemed to be in perfect condition.

This is… Well, I remember the picture of them having drinks at a party, but the book wasn't that great.

I put it back in and pulled out a tattered book beside me.

The most famous novel by the most famous novelist in the next country.

It's true that it's fun enough to read several times, but wouldn't it be a bit like reading now?

In terms of the level of stimulation, it is higher than video media or photos.

In the end, after looking around, what I chose was German classical literature.

This has the effect of being named after the main character.

⋯I was spoiled for the ending before I even read it.

Short review.

I don't know.

Maybe it's because I've never been in a relationship before.

The opposite sex with whom I have favor,

It's not that I didn't have a reason that was kind to me.

It's just that it never developed to the feeling of love.

Is it because of high eyesight?

I also met the heroine in the novel,

I wish someone would love me like this main character.

Ah, of course, I'm not saying that I want to be loved by a man.

It's not even that I want to be a woman.

My preference is the elongated slender.

Of course, you can't be taller than me.

Of course, big breasts are good.

After finishing a book, I was hungry.

As the body and mind are one, you should take care of your body once you have eaten food for your mind.

But since everyone is sleeping, I can't rattle around in the kitchen, so I thought I'd take out a piece of fruit and eat it.

Carefully, I opened the door and came out into the living room.

As I was about to return with half a bunch of bananas lying around in the sink,

The bathroom door was open.

"You're not sleeping."

"⋯Move away."

The backlight is strong, so the face is hard to see.

Just the smell of shampoo.

A few strands of hair clinging to the cheeks.

Bites felt on slightly trodden toes.

It looks like he took a shower this morning.

"Studying is good, but get some sleep. It's the first day of school."

"Okay, get out of the way."

No more, no less, as soon as I said one nagging word, my younger brother slinked past me.

The feel of the pajamas brushing her forearm was subtly soft. Shall I buy one too?

I returned to my room leaving behind my brother who slammed the door shut.

Well, there have been a lot of things that can ruin your life pattern these days.

I sat in a chair listening to the sound of the dryer over the wall.

While munching on a banana, I was thinking to myself, "I shouldn't serve you coffee today."

Visit was held.

"⋯What is it?"

"I can't sleep."

"I can't sleep, so why are you coming to my room?"

"Tell me something funny."

"⋯Not funny?"

"You're good at that, brother."

I was slightly hurt.

No matter how much I go around listening to noises, I'm a much more sociable person than you.

There is a stigma that I saw my brother's friend before my friend after I was discharged from Moulon.

It's your sister's fault for canceling the promise, and it's your sister's fault for seeing your brother's friend.

Maybe I should be held responsible for this?

⋯My mental state is strange because it is dawn.

"⋯Can I tell you about the military?"

"Ah, that's okay."

He shook his head and quietly climbed onto my bed and lay down on his side.

⋯It's good to lie down, but can't we just dry our hair and lie down?

The pillow is wet

"Please tell me something funny."

"I'm dismissing it because it seems surprisingly fun."

"I don't know what you're talking about, so you'll be able to sleep well."

"⋯Who do you think has been calling you on the phone?"

Well, there was nothing to say at that time, and since we had no common interests, we just lined up what we were doing for a living.

Surprisingly, you are a high school girl with high military knowledge. Shall I send you as an officer?

Salaries and pensions come out sloppily, and official residences come out, so even if I sit down on the street, I think I can live on my own.

Is it too trashy?

"Um… If it's not interesting, the book you read earlier?"

"Which book is it?"

"This."

She picked up a green hardcover book that had been lying on the desk and held it out to her brother.

"This is an interesting book."

"Have you read it?"

"It is a very famous novel. Of course I read it."

"It wouldn't be fun to talk about if you knew the contents. Isn't that rather nice?"

"⋯ Well, do whatever you want."

He hugged her blanket and pulled the chair toward her lying brother.

She opened her bookshelf with both her hands and fluttered ⋯.

⋯If you know the contents, what do you have to say?

"⋯Why aren't you saying anything?"

"No, I don't know what to say."

"There is this and that. Is it the choice of characters? Maybe it's the emotional line."

"I don't quite understand why."

"So no fun. It's a romance novel. If you don't know any of that."

"⋯You talk like you know what?"

"You are more sensitive than your brother. A subject I have never even been in love with."

"⋯Then are you talking about trying it?"

"⋯I'm from an all-girls' high school."

I stayed and came out, but the guys who dated girlfriends went out well without anything like that.

Those are all excuses, excuses.

"In comparison, my brother went to college, but he is always alone."

"I was thinking of going to the army after the first year, but how do I make a girlfriend?"

"Isn't one year short?"

"⋯Why are you so lacking in sensitivity? Don't you know that when her body goes down, her heart goes down too?"

"Even if you're not in the military, there are a lot of things to break up with. If she had a good relationship, she would have waited that long."

"If I had someone like that, I would have made a girlfriend too."

"Look at that, we didn't end up dating."

She looked a little naughty at her little brother rolling around in her hair.

Isn't that too harsh?

Originally, hitting with facts hurts more than just hitting.

"⋯If I date a girl later, you will freak out and terrorize your eyes."

"Well, I don't know when that will be, but I really hope that dream comes true."

"⋯Look forward to it."

Seeing her sly smile, her vengeful spirit flared up.

I have to make her pay the price for teasing Oribi someday.

**

Her mouth was dry after all of her chatter, so she poured on a glass of cold water and brushed her teeth.

She turned the doorknob, but the light didn't come through, so when she opened it and said something, the light was off.

"⋯What is it, are you sleeping?"

I glanced at the front of the phone and saw my younger brother lying face down.

Regular breathing, upper body moving like a metronome.

I am not sleeping 100%.

"⋯Get up, go to your room and sleep."

"⋯I'm sleeping⋯."

"Don't play around, go in and sleep."

"⋯No, I almost fell asleep right now."

"⋯What am I to do?"

"Go to my room and sleep."

My younger brother lifted his head slightly and opened his eyes.

His mouth was still buried in the pillow, so the sound echoed.

"She would understand very well if she found out that she switched rooms in the morning."

"Then sleep here."

"You have to go out and sleep here."

"The bed is wide anyway."

"⋯If I sleep with you at this age, my mother will look at me with a very proud gaze, right?"

"Ah, what, what is noisy. You can set an alarm. A bit early."

As if she didn't want to hear it, she pulled the blanket over her and hid.

⋯ I don't think they'll listen to me even if I say it, so I'll have to hit it.

I pulled the blanket over me and took half of it.

"⋯Are you going to take it away again?"

"This is mine from the start. It was you who stole it. And give me the pillow too."

"Do you have anything left?"

"Hey, just hugging or lying on your back. Give me one of them."

My sister thought about it for a moment, then lifted her head and brought the pillow she was sleeping on to me.

Then he folded the pillow he was hugging in half, hid under the covers, and turned his back on me.

It's my room, where are you going to gossip?

"⋯Grow up. I have to go to school tomorrow."

"⋯Yes, brother too."

I also quietly whispered with my back turned.

The scent of shampoo filled her bedside.

⋯It's wet.

Dry your hair properly.

**

⋯Woke up.

When I turned on her phone, it was a few minutes before the alarm time.

It's always like this when I sleep. Head hurts.

"Hey, get up. It's time."

"Eh. A little more…"

"If I call my mother now, will I be in trouble or will you be in trouble? Wake up soon."

"⋯Yes⋯."

No matter how frightened the mother was, she began to wriggle her body.

I watched her, wanting to get up, and found her on her knees and with her nose on her pillow in a bowing position.

"⋯What are you doing, anyway?"

"Ah… I can't get up…"

"Open your eyes first, please."

"⋯Hand."

Her brother took a deep breath, and she slumped again, holding out only one hand slightly.

I tried pulling her fingers into a crooked shape, but she didn't seem to have any will to get up.

"⋯Are you kidding me?"

" Hehe, sorry."

She turned her head slightly and smiled, so I also let her snort leak out.

Then she untied her fingers and squeezed my hand as if shaking hands.

This time, he pulled with her strength and slid down from the bed while hugging her pillow.

"⋯Why don't you let go of your hand?"

"Only to the room."

"⋯Is it a baby?"

"I'm so sleepy that I think I'm going to bump into something."

Then she let out a big yawn and raised her arms against hers and rubbed her face.

Tired of saying anything more, he dragged him to the next room and threw him on the bed.

"Goes."

"Yeah, see you later."

"⋯Yes."

She closed the door, leaving her sister lying on her bed and gently shaking her hand.

⋯ Should I go back and sleep more?

As I turned my back, a calming classical music flowed from my pocket.

Startled, she took out her cell phone, turned off the alarm, and hurriedly ran to her room.

Wiping a drop of cold sweat, she lay down on the bed and realized.

⋯One pillow was stolen. Ha…
