(that night)

유슬(13)

(Ahhh... Seriously, what is it? A werewolf? A vampire? No, does something like that actually exist??)

유슬(13)

(So... does that mean I've been living with a non-human person(?) until now..?)

유슬(21)

Overcome by all my worries and curiosity, I decided to visit my brother's room that night.

유슬(13)

(Is your brother...sleeping...?)

_

(Quiet-)

유슬(13)

(Okay... let's go ahead and take off the hood... just the hood...)

유슬(21)

When I was almost within arm's reach of my brother, I finally managed to take off the hat.

유슬(21)

And on my brother's head, there really were ears.

유슬(13)

(I guess I wasn't seeing things wrong..)

유슬(21)

And then... My brother's eyes, which had been quietly closed, opened.

의건(18)

..Sla, you… .

유슬(13)

huh..??

의건(18) image

의건(18)

You… are you here because you’re scared?

유슬(13)

…Huh? (Thank goodness! He doesn’t seem to notice that his hat is off!) Oh~ I’m scared..

의건(18) image

의건(18)

(Snickers) Okay... Then come here. (Spreading arms)

유슬(13)

yes..!

의건(18) image

의건(18)

(Hugging) How is it? Aren't you scared because I'm protecting you?

유슬(13)

Yeah… I’m not scared at all…

의건(18) image

의건(18)

Our wolf, if you're scared from now on, come find me. Definitely.

유슬(13)

Okay, I'll definitely come find you.

유슬(21)

My brother's arms were unusually warm. And his shoulders seemed incredibly broad that day.

유슬(21)

The slight anxiety I had, "What if my brother isn't human?", was quickly shaken away, like a dandelion's seeds.

유슬(21)

Even if my brother isn't human, he'll protect me. There's no need to worry.

유슬(21)

But, in that case... wouldn't it be okay to ask once?

유슬(21)

(The next day)

의건(18) image

의건(18)

Wow~ Vacation is really nice.

유슬(13)

Yeah... but, oppa, I have a question...

의건(18) image

의건(18)

Huh? What is it?

유슬(13)

Oppa, take off your hat!

의건(18) image

의건(18)

Uh….? A hat..?

유슬(13)

(nodding) Yeah, a hat.

의건(18) image

의건(18)

…yeah, (pushes back the hood)

유슬(13)

…What is your identity, oppa?

의건(18) image

의건(18)

Well, what should I say...

유슬(13)

(W... No way... Are you really a werewolf...?)

의건(18) image

의건(18)

To put it simply, I am your guardian angel.

유슬(13)

…..?!??!?!

유슬(13)

Guardian… angel?

의건(18) image

의건(18)

Yeah, a guardian angel who came to protect you. That's why you have these ears!

유슬(13)

Ah~… So you’re not human, oppa..?

의건(18) image

의건(18)

Well, if I had to say…

유슬(21)

Almost six years have passed, and now. I still live in that same house with that person. No, no, that older brother.

유슬(21)

Oh my... I naively believed that back then...

강의건 (26) image

강의건 (26)

Why? Remember when you first came?

유슬(21)

Uh. Back then, he was like, "I'll protect you." But now, he's worse at watching horror movies than I am... haha

강의건 (26) image

강의건 (26)

Hey~ That's not it!!

강의건 (26) image

강의건 (26)

Our Seul-i has to protect me~~><

유슬(21)

Oh my;;; Why is it like that.. (moving seats)

유슬(21)

Ah, why are we so comfortable with each other? Well... maybe because we've lived together for 7 years, all the love and hate have faded away, right? Haha

유슬(21)

Sigh... Tomorrow is already the start of the semester.

강의건 (26) image

강의건 (26)

Ah~ right. You were a college student~ I graduated lol (<-25 years old)

유슬(21)

(ㅂㄷㅂㄷ) Yeah.. I'm jealous!

강의건 (26) image

강의건 (26)

(The next day)

유슬(21)

Oh my... I'm already thinking about doing my homework... ugh~~

???

(Beep beep) Huh? Where is lecture room 2?

유슬(21)

(Heh..you're a new student.) Are you going to lecture room 2?

???

Yes!! (brightly)

유슬(21)

(Wow…he’s handsome) I’m going to lecture room 2 too. Do you want to go with me?

???

Wow! Thank you~

유슬(21)

Hey~ What is it? But… what is your name?

박지훈(20) image

박지훈(20)

유슬(21)
