W. It's Mallang
"Will you go out with me?"
"what?"
"No, not 'Will you date me?', let's date."
It was a confidence I didn't know where it came from. I was afraid to face my brother, whose expression had suddenly darkened, but I had to hear his answer.
"Okay, let's date."
"Huh? Really?"
"Oh, I'm hungry. Let's hurry home. Get off."
What? Is this how you're dating? Didn't you start dating too easily?
We started dating at lightning speed, making the worries from the previous night seem pointless. As we got out of the car in a daze and entered the accommodation, Taehyun, who was inside, welcomed us.
"Huh? What's up with the two of you?"
"what"
So they ended up dating.
what?!?!
It was Soobin and Huening who had rushed over, startled by what Taehyun had muttered. Ah, damn it, I told you not to read my mind, that bastard!
Taehyun shrugged at those words and fiddled with the TV remote with an uninterested look.
"Hey, what did you two do yesterday? Han Yeo-ju, just tell me."
".. I worked. What else could I do!"
"Do you think I'd be curious about that right now? Did the two of you even rub your lips together?"
"What are you talking about? What's inside your head?"
"No wonder... Wow, but how many centuries has it been since Beomgyu hyung last dated?"
"Huh? A few hundred years?"
"Once upon a time, I fell in love with a princess,"
Hey, aren't you going to shut up?
Beomgyu, who had been silent the whole time, glanced at me and covered Huening's mouth. So what? It was hundreds of years ago; would I really be jealous?
"Oh, did you date the princess? But I wasn't really thinking about it."
"..Ahem, it's been a long, long time."
That's right. Because it was a long time ago.
It wasn't even a serious relationship.
"Aha, so was it pretty?"
"Was she pretty? Answer quickly."
At my words, Beomgyu glared at Huening with a deeply crumpled face. "What are you going to do if you glare at me like that?!" Beomgyu, who had been giving a disapproving look at Huening—who had scurried behind me—timidly replied that it wasn't like that. "Just a little cute?"
"Never mind. I'm just kidding. I don't care about that kind of thing. I've lived for hundreds of years; do you think I haven't dated at least once?"
Hueningkai, you're just rambling on with useless words,
"Stop, stop! I'm hungry. Yeonjun, what's for dinner tonight?"
Oh, I was actually just about to ask you to taste it. Kimchi stew!
Actually, I wasn't hungry, but it was my effort to change the subject. I didn't want to cause trouble when we hadn't even been dating for an hour. And actually, I wasn't even jealous.
***
"Han Yeo-ju, are you asleep?"
Ah, I was just about to fall asleep... Beomgyu, who had calmed down considerably, cautiously turned on the light and came in. I sprang up and shook my head, only to find him sitting on the edge of the bed, staring intently into my eyes.
"...What are you looking at?"
I was worried about it earlier
"Why are you so worried? I think the present is more important."
"...Still, you didn't look well"
"When did you see that? I did it because I was hungry. I don't get jealous or anything like that. I'm just saying this in case you get your hopes up... uh!"
It happened in an instant that he suddenly pulled me into his arms.
The reason I couldn't say anything was... because my brother was holding me so preciously. I felt like if I said even a little bit here, our lips would touch.
".. I was barely holding back my feelings, but I don't think I can do it anymore."
"..."
I like you, Yeoju.
My brother, who had whispered like that, held me in his arms for a long time.
