Chapter 47: To Everyday Life
⋯ Mmm.
Itchy ears
Ouch,
It hurts now
It seems to be broken.
The body is also a bit heavy.
I even got wet on my face, so I woke up completely.
"⋯ Why in the morning?"
"I wanted to… Try it."
"⋯."
Winter was riding on top of me and bothering my ears.
He kicked off the blanket and turned over and attacked Winter.
This time, on the contrary, Kyeolgi was wrapped in blankets and imprisoned.
My hair was a little damp, probably because I had taken a shower before I woke up.
⋯If you wake up, wake me up too.
"Have you washed?"
"Yes."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm a little… Tired."
"⋯I'm hungry, so let's go home and eat. I'm going to wash, so I'm changing my clothes."
"Ah, brother. Wait for a sec."
Winter, who was lying under me, pulled out his arms from under the blanket and held my head with both hands.
He pulled me towards him and kissed me lightly on the lips.
"⋯I wanted to try this too."
"⋯I haven't even brushed my teeth yet."
"I did it, so it's okay."
"⋯."
Let's look at that smiling face,
I just didn't feel like waking up.
Pull back the blanket that covers you,
I went inside and hugged Winter, then covered it again.
Like when we fell asleep yesterday, lying side by side.
"It doesn't come over. Brother."
"Why, attack me?"
"⋯That's not it. I just… Knew it."
"You know, why did you do that?"
"I thought it would make me weak…"
"⋯No. Today."
"⋯Why?"
"Because I didn't confess to you to do that."
"⋯."
"Even if it's not today, you still have plenty of time."
It's different from before.
Now we have plenty of time.
Even the thin limit of until today,
Cheating too,
No excuses were needed.
Because I decided to do it.
"If you go to college, well, there will be a lot of things to do with each other. Even after graduation After getting a job, becoming independent, what remains is time. ⋯I'm not in a hurry."
"⋯."
"⋯ Let's hug instead. Sleep less."
Even when confessing
I've never thought of holding on
Because I knew it wouldn't.
By the time you graduate from college,
When both are independent,
I thought I'd wait until then.
⋯Thanks to you.
That time just came a little early.
There was plenty of time left until check-out anyway, so I put my eyes on it again.
It was dark in front of my eyes, but the warmth of Winter in my arms was definitely transmitted.
Keep going,
To the extent that I want to stay like this.
***
In less than an hour, I dozed off hugging the large stove, woke up again, washed up, and headed home.
I didn't bring any clothes, so I felt a bit embarrassed that I had to wear the same clothes I wore yesterday, but I couldn't help it.
Fortunately, I immediately took off my clothes and threw it away, so I was fine.
In winter, I didn't wear a bra and put it in a padded pocket.
Should I buy a new one or something?
In the meantime, I didn't throw it away, saying it was a waste.
Why is that, I understand to some extent now.
Grabbing a hungry stomach, I put the winter on top and parked.
Wearing a long padded jacket, I followed him upstairs and found Gye-gyeolyi standing in front of the door with the padding off inside the house and the front door open.
"⋯What are you doing? Aren't you cold?"
"⋯You know, brother."
"Uh."
"When you go home… You're brother and sister again…?"
"⋯That's right."
"Then… Are you still a lover?"
"Not yet?"
"Then… Can you kiss me before we part for a second…?"
"⋯."
The locatier I always wore at home,
Pink dolphin pants that don't suit this weather at all,
Even her breasts, which are particularly prominent because she is not wearing a bra.
Is it because it's outside the front door?
That's what I always see,
It was nothing special, but
More than usual for some reason,
I wanted to kiss you.
She looked around for a moment, making sure no one was there.
I thought it would be difficult to kiss too hotly,
He lightly overlapped his lips.
It was a bit more intense than when I woke up earlier, but
No tongue was used.
As if the inside and inside of the lips could not touch,
Lover's kiss.
Concentrating all my attention on coveting each other's mouths, I was slowly stepping forward without even realizing it.
Correspondingly, Winter began to take a step back, one step at a time.
It's been a long time since my left foot and your right foot stepped on the inside of the porch,
Because it was still out there.
I didn't stop touching the mucous membrane.
Suddenly, both of us are out of breath,
Maybe because I was wearing padding, my body got a little hotter.
I was so resentful of this lump that was blocking my chest, but
Did not take off
To take off,
Because I have to go inside.
So close your eyes,
Continue to enjoy your time as lovers,
Move your shoes forward more and more,
Came into the hallway.
After taking a break to breathe,
Close the door,
Returned as siblings.
"⋯Let's eat. Hungry."
"Yes."
"A hammock, and what should I order to eat?"
"Uh… It's lunchtime soon. Like fried rice?"
"Shall we order it at a Chinese restaurant?"
"Don't do that. Kimchi fried rice, or omurice…"
"Well…Then I want to eat gimbap."
"⋯Yes. I'll make it, so you can wash up."
"I washed it earlier."
"You sweat a lot, brother."
"⋯That's right. I need to wash up."
After removing all the skin that was in contact with it,
I went to the bathroom and washed off all the sweat.
Obviously excited,
It wasn't that I didn't have the thought of wanting to do it, but
I could stand it.
I thought it was all mine
'Cause I'm no longer nervous
***
Tomorrow was the day my mother returned, so I cleaned the house once more.
Not to hide something, but literally to clean.
At least for tomorrow, I wanted to show a clean image.
After pulling out the sofa and wiping off all the dust in every nook and cranny, Winter collapsed from exhaustion.
⋯I used up all my strength.
I feel like my stamina is too low.
Kyeol-gyeol, who was lying on his stomach, tapped with his finger and spoke.
"Hey, Kim Winter."
"Why, brother. Don't talk to me because I'm tired."
"You don't look tired."
"⋯Who was it that made it so hard?"
"You said you would exercise after the exam. What if I stretch out with this?"
"⋯."
"Nowadays, I go everywhere, so I'll teach you at home starting tomorrow."
"⋯I don't trust you. Aren't you making them lift heavy things like you just did?"
"Don't do that. I'll just do a full body workout. And being at home is not heavy. It's just dumbbells."
"⋯Really?"
"I bet you can pick up that much later, too, right?"
My brother looked at me with a shocked expression.
Of course, lifting and exercising with it are two different things, but
Can hear
It's not a barbell, it's a dumbbell.
"You have to make an effort…"
"Yes, you have to exercise regularly. Go and suffer later."
"Because I felt like I needed it too. If you help me, I'll do it properly."
"⋯Yes."
The words that I will work hard while lying on the floor in the living room and struggling,
It was extraordinary.
⋯In many ways.
***
Fortunately, nothing happened all day.
Eating together as usual
After watching TV together in the living room and chatting,
When it was time to start yawning, everyone went back to their rooms and went to sleep.
I was a bit lonely, so I hugged the blanket and slept, but
⋯ Other than that, there was no problem.
The date changes and it is time for her mother to return.
After getting ready to go back to their daily lives, we sat side by side on the sofa and talked to her brother.
"⋯It's time for mom to come soon."
"Huh."
"What would you like to eat?"
"I want to eat kimchi stew. Tuna."
"Okay?"
"It wasn't that my brother's rice was tasteless…But soup and stew were mostly instant."
"Consider yourself lucky that you didn't give me rice."
"If she did, she would have told her mother."
"If she had told me, I would have left the house too. They tell me to take care of the rice by myself."
"Isn't that too much?"
"When I got older and didn't see any of my friends, I stayed at home and did nothing but look after you. Thank you."
"⋯I never said thank you. I think I'm grateful too."
"Me too, thank you for eating well even if you cook me without the head."
"It wasn't tasty. ⋯Anyway, my brother just prepared the food, but he didn't make the food."
"Did I make the egg rolls?"
"Oh, that was delicious. Thank you, brother."
Like a brother and sister who are very close,
Not strange,
In the middle of a casual conversation that wasn't even suspicious,
Light footsteps echoed on the stairs.
"My daughter! Mom is here!"
"Mom!"
When the front door opened, Winter jumped out of the sofa and hugged her mother.
⋯ Ha.
I can't do that.
How are you going to be in your parents' arms at this old age?
Is not it?
"Hey, my daughter. Did you have a hard time?"
"No. It was fine."
"Did your brother eat well?"
"⋯Yes. I ate a lot."
"Oh, look at my daughter's stomach. What did oppa eat so much to gain weight?"
"Because I eat a lot of delivery…"
"Son! How have you been while Mom was gone?"
"⋯How are you?"
"Didn't you miss your mother's face? Don't even look."
"⋯I missed you. It is not easy to cook."
"Have you cooked rice?"
"How troublesome it is to warm up instant rice."
"If that bothers you, how are you going to live on your own later?"
"I just need to stop being independent and live with my mom."
"Anyway, I'm good at talking. ⋯ Anyway, good job. Winter took good care of me while Mom was away."
Hugging her brother,
I see my mother's face expressing her gratitude to me with a sympathetic expression.
I just couldn't face it.
Feelings of shame,
Feelings of shame overlapped.
With a dagger in my pocket to sever my heart,
Stabbing too,
To take out her knife and throw it away,
She couldn't choose either one.
The only thing that is hidden is
Because it was the path I chose.
