[BL] TROPICAL MIDNIGHT
#13_The Brother I Know 4
It was a lazy afternoon, early Saturday morning, when every cell was relaxing.
Early in the morning, before I was even fully awake, I walked through the early morning air to my brother's house and knocked on his broken doorbell.
I played with my brother's hair, which looked like it had been hastily dabbed with water, then leaned back against the door and gave him a refreshing kiss. The cold door against my back seemed to freeze my senses.
전웅
-did you sleep well?
김동현
-Yeah, but I'm sleepy.
I was wrapped tightly in bed, trapped in his narrow embrace. I pressed my face against his soft, fluffy cheek, inhaling his scent.
We met without any particular purpose, fell in love, and drew the curtains so that the sun wouldn't burn my skin. Even in that short sleep, I held my brother tightly, who was tossing and turning with nightmares, and carefully woke him up.
Then, when we fell asleep again, we woke up to each other tossing and turning, bickering softly. It was an ordinary day, with happiness permeating the air.
전웅
-tight.
김동현
-I can't sleep because my brother keeps tossing and turning.
전웅
-Then don't sleep.
김동현
-Don't have nightmares.
전웅
-So that's why you came to hug me?
김동현
-You know too much, hyung.
The sound of someone's knuckles scraping against the hard, cold door. There was a knock on the door.
김동현
-Yeah? I'll go check.
전웅
-Huh? Donghyun. Wait a minute.
I stood up in place of my brother, who was wrapped in a blanket, and walked to the door without a second thought. It was probably a delivery, at best. I was only two steps from the front door.
The door opened without me even turning the handle. The air that rushed into the house greeted me with the cold faces of my brother's parents and his mother.
전웅
-I told you not to come without permission.
My brother grabbed my shoulder with an urgent hand and pulled me behind him. Unaware of the situation, I was left dumbfounded, and I was led by his hand.
Resentment and fear. In a way, those were the emotions my brother's angry eyes held. Those eyes didn't hold me. They held my brother's mother, right in front of him.
전웅
-Why did you come?
웅의 어머니
-You can't even come see your son? I just came to see you for a moment.
전웅
-well.
웅의 어머니
-What's behind you, friend?
김동현
-Oh, hello. Brother Woong…
전웅
-Don't try to find out.
My brother reached back and grabbed my hand tightly. I couldn't tell what his trembling hand meant. He just knew he was trying to protect me.
The mother in front of him became his brother's enemy for reasons that are still unknown.
웅의 어머니
-I guess you're hiding it, you must be my lover. Haven't you broken your habit of liking anything yet?
전웅
-Don't say anything. I'm not the type of person to be treated like that.
웅의 어머니
-How can you possibly look good when you give more to one man than to your own family? And why don't you have a normal love that's not worth living for?
전웅
-My mother wanted me to, so I went on blind dates with rich women and tried everything to woo them. But I can't even love myself?
웅의 어머니
-That's your only path to success. And how hard did it take to get that kind of encounter, and you're just lying about it?
My ears were ringing. There were several conversations that made me wonder if I should even be listening.
First, my brother's mother taught me that it is important to seduce a rich man, marry him, and then suck his money out of him, and she taught my brother the same thing.
Second, my brother always tried to seduce the so-called rich girls, but he failed every time.
Third, my brother's parents demanded money from him, and he suffered because of it for the rest of his life.
김동현
-...I'm going out.
웅의 어머니
-Yeah, what did you do?
My brother, possessed by evil, had gripped my hand so tightly that it was wounded and blood was slowly seeping out. I straightened my brother's hand and shouted at his mother.
김동현
-Get out. This is, this is our house... You said you don't like me. Stop it.
웅의 어머니
-I hope people who don't know our situation are left out?
김동현
"I don't know. I don't know, but I hate you, hyung. I'm going to report you to the police. And even if you're a parent, you don't have the right to treat your child's life like that. Go away."
I tried to force my voice and make my expression as sharp as possible. My brother's mother, with a look of disbelief on her face, left the house, saying only that she would come back again later.
Finally, when the two of them were alone in the house, the older brother let go of my hand, laid down on the bed, and muttered a word.
전웅
-go.
김동현
-brother.
전웅
-please.
Silence reigned, even the words he was about to say cut off. His face was covered with his hand, making it impossible to see his expression.
김동현
-Please contact me later. I'll wait. I'll come as soon as I feel better. Okay? Hyung.
전웅
-...
I had no choice but to leave my brother's house without hearing an answer. Even hours later, the image of my brother, horribly mangled, lingered in my mind.
And that evening, I received a text from my brother telling me we were breaking up.
