(SVT_Hoshi)














My boyfriend isn't jealous at all. He's never once stopped me from wearing revealing clothes. He says I wear them because I want to, so why bother checking myself?



To be honest, I'm a little upset. The thought that maybe he doesn't love me very much is running through my head.



...Okay. What do you want?



"What are you doing today?"



I contacted her, hoping to go on a date. But when I heard she was busy, I quickly gave up.



I know you're a busy person, but I can't help but feel frustrated. It feels like I'm the only one in a relationship. I hate myself for feeling so lonely even though I'm in a relationship.



"Hey, Yeoju!"

"Jin-ah!!"



Since I won't be able to see my brother, I decided to hang out with a friend for the first time in ages. I'm planning on drinking! My brother said he won't be home tonight, so I'm planning on drinking a lot.



"There's no way out?"

"What's the topic of alcohol?"



It was fun. During that moment, I was able to forget my loneliness.



How much time had passed? The heroine, who had become quite drunk, headed to her friend's house.



Contact your brother...



I guess you don't have to do it.



He wasn't going to come home today anyway. He'd never stayed out overnight before, but I didn't think he'd really care. It was always like that.

"Ugh..."



I woke up, brow furrowed, the sunlight streaming through the curtains, not knowing when the sun had finally broken. My stomach felt nauseous, and my friend still seemed to have passed out.



"Ah... I was wondering why it was so cold, but I ended up sleeping on the floor..."



I sniffled and picked up my phone. I usually called before bed, but I didn't yesterday, so I was 100% sure I'd get a call.

🐯❤
What are you doing

🐯❤
ruler?

🐯❤
What, where are you?
Why can't I contact you?
Why aren't you at home?

🐯❤
Pick up the phone
Take it
Why are you so anxious...

🐯❤
please

🐯❤
Call me as soon as you see my phone.
Because I'll be waiting.





"crazy"



My heart sank for a moment. Wasn't he supposed to not come home...?



As soon as I thought I had made a good mistake, I got up, packed my things, and ran out.



As soon as I got home, I must have been punching in the door lock. Before I could even finish, the door swung open.



"Surprise...!!"

"Come in."



He wiped away the look of urgency that had appeared for a moment and led me inside.



"Oppa, that's..."

"Are you in your right mind?"

"....."

"I'm not your husband, am I? Do you think it makes sense for me to stay out all night without asking?"



Has he ever been this angry with me? His cold expression felt like a stab to the heart.



"I couldn't sleep a wink because of you. Because you couldn't even contact me."

"Brother."

"Don't even think about making excuses."

"I'm tired."

"what?"



I was tired. It wasn't that I hated my brother. Even though we lived together, we didn't see each other often, and it didn't feel like we were married at all.



"My husband is hardly ever home. He doesn't seem to care about me, or even cares about me. How can I not get tired of this?"

"Yeah, I was lonely, so I went out drinking with a friend. I got drunk and fell asleep at my friend's house. I knew he wouldn't come home anyway, so I didn't contact him."

"you···."

"...I want to go. I don't really want to see you, oppa."



I rubbed my throbbing forehead and turned around to head toward the front door. But my steps quickly came to a halt.



"Let go of this."

"don't go..."



A trembling voice. It was a voice I'd never heard from my brother before. He hugged me from behind and wouldn't let me go.



"what..."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, heroine. I can't do without you..."



My brother... is crying...? I was flustered. Since I'm someone who never sheds tears, this situation was bound to be incredibly disconcerting.



"I was scared. I couldn't reach you, so I was afraid something might have happened. I couldn't sleep, afraid you might come home..."

"Without you, time seemed to stand still. I was so anxious I thought I was going crazy. Seeing you back safely like this made me feel relieved, but I ended up getting angry for no reason. You were my everything... I was so scared that I might lose everything..."

"I thought you didn't like me. Even though we were married, I was so lonely..."

"How could I hate you when I love you more than anyone else..."



It was the first time. I saw her shed tears as if everything had fallen apart. Where did we go wrong?



"Don't cry. It's heartbreaking..."

"Don't go. Okay? Don't leave me behind..."



He held my hand tightly, his trembling hands. My brother, who always acted like an adult, was now a child. He looked determined to never let go.



"Why did I abandon you, oppa? I love you so much..."



I hugged my brother. I don't think we'll ever forget today. I think we'll have happier days as we express our unspoken feelings and love each other more deeply.
