[BL] TROPICAL MIDNIGHT
#11_The Brother I Know 2


As class was about to start, my brother ran next to me that day as well.


전웅
-Donghyun!

My brother was one of those people who approached me with either favor or ill will.


전웅
-Dong-hyun, Dong-hyun. Do you want to date hyung?

However, he was extremely brash and eccentric. To me, Jeon Woong was just a lucky guy who passed the college entrance exam and was in the same grade as me, a year older than me. But one day, he started to intrude into my life.

Starting with the moment he arrived at the classroom, woke me up from my sleep, and confessed his love to me. He'd run toward me whenever he saw me.


김동현
-I'm sorry, class is about to start.


전웅
-Oh really? What are you listening to?


김동현
-..It's culture.


전웅
-It's Hyungdon! Let's go together.


김동현
-No, I'm meeting up with my classmates.


전웅
-Are you confident you can run 2 kilometers in 3 minutes? Our Professor Lee Bae-deok is strict about attendance. Why don't you just abandon your classmates?


김동현
-Haha, there's only about 1.5km left.

Even though my brother ran desperately to throw me off, I chased after him with my short legs.


전웅
-If I win, will you marry me?


김동현
-This isn't a game, so why are you getting married!

After a rather bloody chase and a love game, I was late, but the professor was even later, so I was able to get in safely. And my brother wasn't in a liberal arts class.


김동현
-Senior, do you know what's really absurd?


전웅
-It's okay because I helped Donghyun not be late.


김동현
-Don't you have any classes?


전웅
-There are no morning lectures in the first place.


김동현
-Then why are you here?


전웅
-I wanted to see you since I have plans with a friend!


김동현
-You're crazy.


전웅
-Why?


김동현
-No, please listen carefully to the afternoon lecture.

I didn't treat him like anyone else, thinking I should be cruel to him so he wouldn't leave me. That's probably when he started to feel special.

The only thing that was slowly seeping in was the fact that I was being treated differently.


전웅
-Don't sleep and listen carefully in class, I love you!


김동현
-Yes, and after class, we eat together.

At just one word, my brother's face flushed and he shook his head vigorously. He really was such a fool.

.

After finishing the boring class and coming out of the classroom, I saw my brother leaning against the wall and playing on his cell phone.


김동현
-Have you been waiting all this time?


전웅
-Yeah, I have nothing else to do. Should we go eat something? Are you hungry?


김동현
-Senior. Is there anything you want to say to me before we go?


전웅
-Um, let's date? Do you like me?


김동현
-is it so.

To be honest, it wasn't pure love. It was just a case of loving him once with false intentions and then abandoning him, intending to get rid of his troublesome brother.

My brother, who was worried that he had misunderstood without saying anything, only smiled bashfully after I smiled and told him to tell me what he wanted to eat.

A relationship that seemed like it would break up so quickly began.



전웅
-Oh oh oh, is this Donghyun's studio apartment?


김동현
-Yes, please wash your hands and put on slippers.


전웅
-He's gay, but he's obsessive-compulsive. It's really good.


김동현
-Don't say anything weird.

Anything is good, it really is good. But even so, the words "good" were so sincere that I couldn't help but laugh in disbelief.

The relationship I thought would last a month has already reached its second month. My brother is louder and more loving than before we started dating.

It means that I fell in love in the end. I fell in love.


전웅
-Dong-hyeona, can I sleep here?


김동현
-I sleep on the floor. There's no sofa, and the bed is mine.


전웅
-Don't you usually let guests sleep in bed?


김동현
-If you don't like it, just leave.


전웅
-You really are no good.


김동현
-Please put some alcohol in the fridge. Should I order chicken?


전웅
-Yeah! Good.

Even the flow of conversation was tinged with a sense of foolishness, a love that made me feel happy that my first guest in my studio apartment was my brother.

Since it was a space where only one person could be, we had no choice but to have a drinking party on the floor.

My brother saw me crouching uncomfortably on the floor, picked up his phone, and just looked at it without saying a word.


김동현
-Hey, why are you looking at your phone? Are you bored because the chicken isn't here?


전웅
-No, I was just looking for a two-seater sofa. And a dining table.


김동현
-Why waste your money on that? You're only buying it for one person anyway.


전웅
-Because I'll be coming often. And even if I live alone, how can I have just one chair? There's a dining table and desk, too.


김동현
-Okay. I'll buy one more chair.


전웅
-I'm telling you to treat it like a house for someone with a lover.


김동현
-Okay, I understand.

(And a few days later, a chair, a small two-seater sofa, and a small dining table were delivered to my front door.)

The chicken was delivered soon and my brother danced happily.


김동현
-Oh, sit down quietly.


전웅
-The chicken is here!

Only after the shabby drinking party was over did they finally get to see how much they could drink.


전웅
-Hyung, you're pouring water into a bottomless pit. Be careful.


김동현
-Okay, I understand.

I smiled heartily at the fact that I was realizing, one by one, the romantic dreams I had with my lover, even if they were small.
