Delusional Circuit of Megalomania
The Boy Next Door Kim Un-hak 2
The Korea Meteorological Administration's report that this year's CSAT would be the coldest in 10 years was accurate.
Crunch..-
김이현
Ugh,
김이현
It's cold..-
Early in the morning, the chilly air in the apartment hallway brushes the tip of my nose.
Warm breath escaped between lips that were not closed in the cold.
김이현
Why is it that this year is the coldest day of the college entrance exam?
김이현
Unhak will have a hard time
I'm full of worries about taking the CSAT.
It would be a lie to say that I don't care about Kim Woon-hak, who I raised almost like a younger brother.
It's because I was more nervous that I ended up out in the apartment hallway early in the morning.
This is ridiculous, really…
Clank.-
김운학
I'll be back!!
Kim Un-hak opened the front door and came out with a loud and cheerful voice.
김이현
Are you going now?
김운학
Hey, sister?
김운학
Have you been waiting for me?
Kim Un-hak smiled brightly when he saw me.
김이현
…
김이현
Don't be nervous
김이현
Just do what you've been doing
김이현
Manage your time well
김이현
Don't forget to mark
김이현
and
김운학
Oh, I see;;
김운학
I know that too..!!
Unhak turned a deaf ear to Kim Yi-hyeon's nagging until the day of the CSAT.
김이현
… big
김이현
Yeah, good job
김운학
Yes haha
Unhak smiled bashfully.
Warm breath escaped from Unhak's smile.
김이현
…
Swish.-
김이현
Take care on your way
I draped the white knit scarf I was wearing over Unhak's shoulders.
I tied it tightly and swept the knot once more.
A white knit scarf wrapped around a thick padded jacket covered Kim Un-hak's cheek.
김운학
…I’ll be back!!
Kim Un-hak's cheeks were bright red as he covered his face with a scarf.
The voice said hello with a loud roar and left with a proud look on his face.
김이현
…
I looked at Kim Un-hak's back with admiration.
You're all grown up now, Kim Un-hak
…
..
.
Time passed quickly after the long college entrance exam.
As I came to my senses, a year had already passed.
김동현
Ah, congratulations on turning 20, Unhak!
김동현
When did my child grow up so much... ㅠ
김운학
..hey, really
김운학
It's been a long time since I've been bigger than my brother!!
김이현
You've grown taller, baby, baby~
김운학
…what kind of baby is this,,
Unhak is disgusted by being called a baby.
김운학
I'm an adult now
김운학
I'm of legal drinking age.
김이현
Hmm?
김이현
Where do you want to go for a drink?
I handed the glass to Unhak as if it was funny.
김운학
… (gulp)
Unhak swallowed dry saliva and, as if he had made a resolution, emptied the glass he had been drinking from.
김이현
Ah~ You're all grown up, you're all grown up~
김동현
I'm not a minor anymore, Kim Woon-hak~~
The siblings were so close that I thought they might not be siblings, and Kim Un-hak was so good at talking to each other that it was a perfect match.
…
How much time has passed like that?
김동현
Ah, I can't eat any more...
김동현
I'm going to sleep
Dong-Hyeon staggered to his feet.
김이현
Oh my? That guy drinks that much and it's over?
김동현
..My older sister is strong
김동현
Um, over there, Kim Un-hak is already dead..
김운학
…
Unhak fell asleep with his head on the table.
I ended up like this after consistently drinking the alcohol that Kim Yi-hyeon gave me.
김동현
I'm at my limit now... I want to sleep...
After saying that, Dong-Hyeon slowly crawled into his room.
김이현
Oh my, these two men are so weak...
김이현
I don't feel like drinking anymore-
I started to tidy up the scattered glasses and empty bottles.
Knock knock.-
김이현
Kim Un-hak, wake up
김이현
I should go home and sleep.
I woke up Kim Un-hak, who was sleeping drunk, by patting him on the head.
김운학
Uh...uh...-
Unhak was still drunk and was staggering, showing no signs of getting up.
김이현
seaweed
김이현
Kim Un
김이현
Kim Un-hak.
김이현
I have to get up-
Lee Hyeon shouted into Unhak's ear.
김운학
Ahh... within 5 minutes...
김이현
What do you mean, 5 minutes? Are you still a high school student?
Lee Hyun lightly pulled on Unhak's ear.
김운학
Ahhh,; Ah!!
Kim Un-hak woke up, his ears tugged and heaving.
김이현
Are you awake?^^
김운학
Ah..sister.._
김운학
I thought my ears were going to fall off…
김이현
Yeah, who sleeps here?
김운학
…Can’t I just sleep here?
김이현
My mouth is spinning
김이현
When I was a student, I might have been able to sleep while sitting at my desk, but as I got older, that all paid off in hospital bills.
김운학
…;;
김운학
Well, my sister is in her 20s too...
김이현
Are you in your early 20s and late 20s the same?
김운학
…her-
Kim Woon-hak pouts and exhales.
김이현
Now go in quickly
김이현
Your parents will be worried
Lee Hyeon pushed Kim Woon-hak's back towards the front door.
김운학
Ah, I see..-
김운학
I'm going...—
김이현
Okay, let's go and wash our feet as soon as we get there.
김운학
…
김운학
…take me to the hallway
김이현
what?
김운학
My sister is older than me, so please take her with you.
김이현
… Huh?
김이현
I told you not to treat me like a baby earlier
김운학
iced coffee..-
Unhak threw a tantrum, begging to be taken away with a face that said, ‘Hurry up.’
김이현
… Oh my,,
I burst out laughing at Kim Un-hak's ridiculous antics.
I couldn't help but listen to Kim Un-hak's rare tantrums, as he always acted like an adult.
But…
I asked him to take me there because it's right next door.
김이현
Okay, is this enough?
김운학
Yes (Heshil)
김이현
… Oh my
김이현
It's been a while since I've seen you acting like this, so it's the Kim Un-hak I know~
김운학
…I didn’t really make a fuss like that..-
김이현
So what if I act like a slob? Even though I'm 20, I'm still a kid in my eyes.
김운학
…
김운학
…sister,
Kim Un-hak looked straight into my eyes with a serious expression.
김이현
huh?
김운학
Am I still a child to you?
김이현
Baby, baby~
Lee Hyun trailed off as if teasing.
김운학
…
Unhak made a bitter expression as he looked at Lee Hyeon's face, who was smiling brightly, as if he didn't know what Unhak was thinking.
김운학
Do you remember that?
김이현
what?
김운학
He said that if I got into Korea University, his wish would be granted.
김이현
Oh, that's right
Lee Hyeon brought back a memory he had forgotten.
김운학
Sister
김운학
I passed
Unhak said while holding up a screenshot of his acceptance to Korea University.
김이현
?
김이현
What the heck??
Lee Hyeon was startled and brought his eyes back to Unhak's phone.
김이현
It's true...
김이현
Hey, why did you tell me this now..!!
김운학
Because I wanted to show it to my older sister first...
김이현
Oh my, good job, good job~
김이현
Unhak worked hard~
Lee Hyeon patted Park Bak Kim Woon-hak's head.
김운학
…
김운학
… So, you’ll grant my wish, right?
Unhak continued to speak in a stammering voice, his face flushed red from Lee Hyeon's touch.
김이현
Okay, tell me
김이현
Sister, I'll listen to everything!
Lee Hyeon said curiously.
김운학
…
Unhak hesitated for a moment, then cautiously opened his mouth.
김운학
Sister,
김운학
Can you please stop looking at that little brat Kim Un-hak and start looking at him as a man?
김이현
…huh?
Lee Hyeon paused at the ticklish atmosphere as he looked at Kim Woon-hak's serious eyes and trembling lips.
Just before the words "What does that mean" came out
김운학
i like you
Kim Un-hak was one step ahead.
김운학
I like that older sister
김이현
What is that...
김운학
I liked it for quite a while
김운학
I like men and women alike
김이현
…
Lee Hyeon's mind went blank for a moment at Kim Woon-hak's sudden confession.
김이현
Hey.. don't joke around.. haha
Lee Hyeon tried hard to deny it.
It's clear that he's plotting with Kim Dong-hyun to tease me.
I thought about it, but Kim Un-hak's serious face before my eyes drove that thought away.
김운학
I'm not kidding, I'm serious
김운학
I like it..
김이현
…
I was speechless at Kim Woon-hak's words that hit the nail on the head once more.
I never once thought of Kim Un-hak as a man, not as my younger brother.
I was worried about what to do with that child's heart.
김이현
… Hey, Unhak…
김이현
Of course I like Unhak too..
김이현
I think Unhak is a really good kid as a younger sibling.
김이현
You are so kind, polite, and pretty.
김운학
…
김이현
That's why...
김이현
Unhak may not know because he is still young.
김이현
As I got out into society and met more people, I realized that these feelings were an illusion.
김운학
stop
김운학
Stop it...
Unhak kept his mouth shut.
He looked like he was trying to hold back his tears with a face that was clearly hurt.
김이현
…
김운학
Sister, I didn't ask for much.
김운학
I just told you not to look at me like a child anymore.
김운학
I'm not asking you to date me right now.
김운학
just..
김운학
just a little..
김운학
Could you please give me just a little more chance?
김운학
I want to be a man in front of my older sister.
김이현
…
김운학
If, as time passes, I am still Kim Woon-hak's younger brother to my older sister...
김운학
At that time...
김운학
…I'll figure this out on my own.
김운학
So, just this once...
김운학
Please give me just one chance.., okay..?
Unhak spoke to Lee Hyeon almost as if pleading.
It's a face that looks like it'll burst into tears at the slightest touch.
It was obvious that he was trying hard to hold back in front of Lee Hyeon.
김이현
… Okay, I understand
김이현
Okay, I understand, so I'll stop here for today.
김운학
…
김이현
I need time to think too
김운학
Yes, I understand.
김이현
Yeah, go in
김운학
..Sister, please go in carefully too.
김이현
huh
…
After wrapping up the situation like that, we each returned home.
Kim Lee-hyun's expression on the way back was one of trouble.
I never imagined that I would hear a confession from the child I thought of as my younger sibling.
That too from Kim Un-hak, who I have known for a long time since I was young.
…
..
.
After Kim Un-hak's confession, my heart was filled with confusion.
I was busy going to work, avoiding Kim Woon-hak, who greeted me every morning in the apartment hallway.
I skip over Kim Woon-hak's phone calls, texts, and KakaoTalk messages without even reading them.
I pushed the existence of Kim Un-hak away from me as much as I could.
Time passed and the cold spell passed.
I returned to my daily routine, hearing from Kim Dong-hyun that Unhak was adjusting well to school.
As an ordinary office worker, Kim Lee-hyun.
The only change in my otherwise ordinary daily life is that Kim Un-hak's presence has become dull.
This might be better for Unhak too.
As an adult, I may have hoped that I could sort out my confusing childhood emotions.
김동현
Sister, Unhak is having a blast~
김이현
…uh?
김동현
It's a good time, isn't it?
김이현
Yeah... haha
It seems like Unhak has adapted well to school.
I felt a little relieved.
김동현
By the way, did you fight with Unhak?
김이현
what..?
김동현
These days, Unhak doesn't even come home
김동현
I've never seen you with your sister.
김동현
The kid who followed his older sister around...
김이현
Unhak is now all grown up
김이현
Do you want to play with your 6 year old sister? Haha..
김동현
Yeah, that's right
김이현
…what?^^
김동현
..lol
…
..
.
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
김이현
I said it's okay, so that's why~
김동현
Sister, you're scared of being alone...
김이현
Okay, I'm a kid
김동현
Okay, I'll go then.
김이현
Yeah, have fun
Since Kim Dong-hyun went on a trip with his friends, I had to stay home alone for a week.
I pretended to be strong in front of Kim Dong-hyun, but in reality, I think I was the one who was easily lonely.
The house was very quiet without Dong-Hyeon.
Dong-Hyeon wasn't the type of kid who chattered a lot at home, but maybe because he was the youngest, he was more outspoken than me, so I never felt lonely at home.
It was a week where I realized that even though he was younger than me, he was quite a dependable guy…
There was an opportunity that made me feel that way even more.
While spending a week without Donghyun,
Every night, I started hearing strange noises outside the door.
“Knock knock knock..”
At 3 a.m., there was a knock on the front door.
김이현
… Oh, again,,
김이현
Who the hell is that…?
I approached cautiously and looked outside through the peephole in front of the front door.
The hallway visible through the hole was so quiet.
The corridor was so quiet that not a single insect could be seen flying around.
At first I thought it was someone who mistook the house, but it's already been three days.
Every morning, I would hear a knock on the door, but when I checked outside, I couldn't see anyone. This situation kept me up at night.
I didn't have the courage to open the front door, so I just hoped Kim Dong-hyun would come home soon.
"Knock knock knock"
It's already been 5 days
김이현
Oh, really..;
It was the fifth day since I lost sleep over that knocking sound.
Now I really couldn't stand it anymore. As soon as I heard the knock, I jumped out of bed and ran to the front door.
“Knock knock knock”
김이현
… (gulp)
I swallowed dry saliva.
And with one hand, I called Kim Dong-hyun, just in case.
But perhaps because it was dawn, Kim Dong-hyun didn't answer the phone.
김이현
Why don’t you accept it at times like this…
I trembled in fear as I flipped through my list of contacts.
Then, one name comes into view.
Kim Un-hak
When I realized that, aside from Kim Dong-hyun, the only person I could contact was Kim Woon-hak
I hesitated.
It was a moment when Kim Un-hak's confession was once again recalled.
I sighed as I looked at my contact list, which showed that the only men I knew were my younger brothers, Kim Dong-hyun and Kim Woon-hak.
"Knock knock knock"
But I didn't have the luxury of caring about that right now.
Ring ring ring...
김운학
…hello
The voice heard on the other end of the phone was that of Kim Woon-hak, who had just woken up.
김이현
Sorry, were you sleeping?
…
There was a moment of silence, and then
김운학
… Uh..Lee Hyun noona..!?
Kim Woon-hak suddenly woke up and grabbed the phone in a panic.
김운학
Um...what happened...
Unhak's voice was filled with confusion and tension.
김이현
… Unhak-ah
김이현
I'm really sorry, but could you come to my house now..?
김운학
..yes?
김이현
…
I spoke, putting aside even my pride, which I had never had before.
김이현
..I'm alone now
김이현
Someone outside keeps knocking on the door..
김이현
… Me.., what should I do?
김운학
…
김운학
…I'll go now.
김운학
Never open the door
김이현
..uh, uh
Boom.-
As soon as the phone call ended, the sound of the door opening next door was heard.
Clank.-
Knock knock knock
김이현
(shock)
I flinched again at the knocking sound.
however
김운학
Sister, it's me
The person who knocked was Kim Un-hak.
Clank.-
At the sound of Kim Woon-hak's voice, I opened the front door wide.
Kim Un-hak was standing in front of the front door.
김운학
Sister, are you okay?
김이현
…ha,,
After seeing Kim Woon-hak's face, I relaxed and sat down on the spot.
김운학
..!?
김운학
Sister! Are you okay? Is there anything wrong??
Unhak rolled his worried eyes at me, who sat down in surprise. He was shaking, saying he was the one making the bigger fuss.
김운학
Hospital.. no, emergency room!? Should I go?? I'm really surprised!?
김이현
… No, it's okay
김이현
Thank you for answering the phone.
김운학
Is this really okay?
김이현
Yeah..
김이현
But… was there anything outside?
김운학
Oh.. that?
Meow..-
Aaaa ...
A cat on Kim Woon-hak's arm looked at me intently.
김이현
…?
김운학
I guess it was him who knocked on the door.
김운학
When I came out into the hallway, I saw my sister scratching her front paw in front of her door.
Meow-
김이현
…
I was so shocked that I'd suffered for five days because of that cat. What had I been so afraid of all this time?
I felt extremely embarrassed in front of Kim Un-hak.
김운학
..are you okay?
Unhak asked me again, looking at me with a blank expression.
김이현
… Oh, totally..
김이현
… Haha..
김운학
…??
김이현
Sorry for waking you up
김이현
Go in quickly and sleep
김운학
No, I'm already awake...
김이현
..
김이현
..sorry
김운학
lol..
김이현
…
김이현
Then, please make it silent.
김운학
…
김운학
Then I can't answer the phone.
김이현
…huh?
김운학
I just kept waiting for you to contact me
김이현
…ah
김운학
When I contact you, you ignore me
김운학
My sister should be going to work by now, but she doesn't show up even at work time.
김운학
At this point, I'm avoiding it, right?
김이현
…
김이현
sorry..
That you are avoiding yourself
I knew it
This is... I'm a little sorry...
김운학
..what happened
김운학
Because I saw your face just now
김이현
…(sense)
김운학
still
김운학
It's too much to avoid you for days
김운학
I also get hurt by that..~
Unhak smiled bitterly.
김이현
…Sorry
김운학
…
김운학
So don't avoid it anymore
김운학
It's a shame to end something before you even start.
Even though Unhak had a wounded face, he looked at me with warm eyes.
김이현
…
Since when did you have such eyes?
For the first time since that day, I met Unhak's dark eyes.
There was a certain clumsiness, yet a firmness, in his eyes.
It was the day when I realized that even the prickly Kim Woon-hak was a man, with his height and shoulders growing significantly and his sturdy physique.
Somehow, I feel a little nervous
Is it because of my mood?
김운학
Sister
김운학
I like it a lot
김이현
… (shudder)
My heart raced at the single blow from Kim Un-hak, who was hit with a wedge.
김운학
I'm sorry for burdening you again
김운학
But, I can't help but think of the word "I like you"
김이현
…
I'm definitely crazy
I am shaken by that pure and untainted confession
Seriously, this is clearly crazy
Even though I knew that the other person was Kim Un-hak,
I couldn't push away the emotions that were coming towards me.
김이현
Okay, okay, okay
김이현
Stop saying you like me..
김운학
… Oh, I'm sorry
김운학
It was burdensome...
김이현
…no
김운학
…?
김이현
…
김이현
… I feel embarrassed even being in the position of receiving a confession,,
Lee Hyeon blushed shyly, avoiding Kim Woon-hak's face.
김운학
..!
김운학
Oh, yes..!!
Did Unhak feel a faint sense of anticipation while looking at Lee Hyeon like that?
Even though he was embarrassed, the corners of his mouth were seen rising little by little.
김이현
…
김운학
…
The two regained their composure and, in the strange atmosphere, neither of them spoke first.
The dawn was very quiet when everyone was asleep. There was no honking of cars, no footsteps of people walking busily, no chirping of birds.
It's so much like the illusion that we're the only two people in the world
Only the two of them recognized each other
As they turned their heads, their eyes looked at each other.
김이현
…
김운학
…
Unhak's face slowly came closer to Lee Hyeon.
I could feel the trembling in his cautious approach.
Even though he was looking at me with a wary expression, his lips moved slightly.
It was a clumsy kiss from a 20-year-old.
…
Literally a kiss
The two lips touched and parted,
How many years has it been since I kissed so carefully?
I burst out laughing without realizing it.
김이현
Ahhhhh
김운학
…!?
Unhak couldn't hide his embarrassment at the sight of Lee Hyeon bursting into laughter. With a slightly embarrassed expression,
김운학
..why..!
김운학
Why... are you laughing...
김이현
No.. lol
김이현
It's kind of cute..ㅋㅋㅋ
김운학
…—
Unhak frowned at the word cute.
김이현
Sorry sorry.. haha
김운학
..oh really;
김운학
Don't laugh..!!
김이현
Oh, I get it, I get it lol
I was so happy to hear that.
김운학
… I understand, but I keep smiling
김이현
lol
김운학
… Oh really, what is this..-
김운학
The atmosphere was good, but my sister ruined it all..-
김이현
That's why I said I'm sorry lol
김운학
…
김운학
…don't laugh
김운학
But it was my first kiss
김이현
… Oh, sorry
김운학
If you're sorry, take responsibility
Unhak smiled wryly.
김이현
..uh?
김이현
You kiss first...
김운학
Ah, I don't know, I don't know~
김운학
If you steal a child's lips, you have to take responsibility~
김운학
Ahh~
김이현
… What time is it?
김이현
Is this the right answer?
김운학
lol
김운학
i like you
김이현
… (shock)
김운학
Sister, what's the answer?
김이현
…
김운학
You're not just going to eat it and throw it away, right?
김이현
…
김이현
…i like you
김이현
… I like it, I like it,,
김운학
Yes, me too
Unhak smiles faintly.
김이현
…!
Where on earth did you learn that?
In the meantime, Kim Un-hak's slyness has increased.
…
…I'm going crazy

The Boy Next Door Kim Un-hak
Kkeut
I was thinking of coming back with part 3
I just finished it all in one go, moe
The number of characters is crazy right now
It's 7960
It was a bit much to go over 7,000 characters.
I wonder if you're skipping it because it's boring
anyway
I've been using only younger flavors lately, so I'm thinking about going back to older flavors.
If I think of it, I'll bring it back to you.
Please give me some Groni Sonting
🙌✨
