I'm half-human, half-beast, and my brother is a gumiho?!!

Stay with me

After all this happened, I came to my senses and it was already night.

민윤기

Min Yeo-ju

민여주

uh?

민윤기

Did you hear what I said?

민여주

Huh? What...are you saying?

After meeting with the gods today, the female protagonist, who had been looking dazed, was worried. Yoon-ki frowned and brought his face close to the female protagonist's face to observe her expression.

민윤기

Why are you so dazed all day? Where does it hurt?

민여주

Uh...huh? No...it hurts..

민여주

What were you trying to say?

Yoon-ki spoke again, still worried about Yeo-ju even though he was away from her.

민윤기

If you have any pain, don't hide it and tell me.

민윤기

I'll be by your side

민여주

huh..

Yoon-ki's eyebrows twitched at the female lead's lukewarm reaction, but he still changed the subject.

민윤기

tomorrow.

민윤기

Tomorrow, Jungkook and Jimin will summon the divine beast.

민윤기

I don't think I can sleep with you today because I have to go and help them get ready.

민여주

Ready..? What are you ready for?

The female protagonist asked in confusion, and Yoon-ki chuckled and nuzzled his face into the female protagonist's neck.

민윤기

It's no fun if you know in advance~ You can look forward to tomorrow

민윤기

This idea was mine

민윤기

If you see what me and the kids prepared tomorrow, you have to praise me, okay?

민윤기

Then grow up first and have good dreams, my little brother~

Yoon-gi, who seemed to be in a good mood, left the seat and a little while later, thunder rumbled and rain began to fall.

Shoooooo-

The slightly humid air that came down from the sky and moistened the earth cleared the foggy head of the female protagonist a little.

민여주

under....

When the heroine took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and focused on the sound of the rain

Step by step

When the sound of someone approaching was heard and the female protagonist opened her eyes, Taehyung was right in front of her.

Taehyung, who had a sad expression on his face and was about to burst into tears at any moment, spoke in a trembling voice.

태형

Sister....stay with me.

태형

Come with me... just tonight... just for a little while...

태형

Stay with me...

Taehyung, who pleaded with a trembling voice, approached her step by step, buried his face in her neck, and sobbed.

The female protagonist is surprised to see Taehyung suddenly appearing and crying and clinging to her, but she calmly hugs him and comforts him.

민여주

Shhh- It's okay...

민여주

It's okay, it ...

민여주

Let's stay together tonight, sister

민여주

Sister, I will always be by Taehyung's side.

민여주

It's okay to cry, I'll be by your side.

민여주

Our Taehyung is so kind haha

The female protagonist hugged Taehyung while comforting him.

Taehyung, who was holding back his tears as best he could, was afraid that Yeoju would dislike him if he kept crying, but when he heard Yeoju say that he would continue to be by his side and that he could cry comfortably, the dam he had built up inside burst open and he hugged Yeoju tightly and cried like a little child.

Taehyung, who had been crying sadly while hugging Yeoju for a while, calmed down a bit and let go of his arms and looked at the floor.

The female protagonist who kept waiting for Taehyung to open his heart and look into her eyes.

After a while, Taehyung raised his face and looked at Yeoju with moist eyes, wiping away tears.

The female protagonist stared blankly at Taehyung, who looked even more innocent after crying, and smiled faintly.

태형

Why...why don't you ask anything..?

민여주

If you're crying on a rainy day like this and want to be held in someone else's arms, then something must have happened to you in the past.

민여주

I don't want to hear that story while digging into other people's wounds.

민여주

Whenever you're ready, just tell me and I'll wait until you're ready.

Taehyung's nose tingled again at the female protagonist's words that she would wait endlessly.

I soon pulled myself together and told the heroine everything one by one.

태형

When I was little... my dad wanted me to get married soon.

태형

We always lived in anxiety, not knowing when our family line would end.

태형

On days when I didn't have a fiancé, my father would lock me in a small attic and not let me out of the room all day.

태형

That day, too, when I couldn't find a fiancée, he dragged me to the attic and threw me there.

태형

And then he slammed the door, shouting, 'Don't even think about stepping out of the room until you find your fiancé!' But as the door slammed shut, thunder roared and rain poured down...

태형

That moment became such a trauma for me that I still stay up all night scared on days like this when it thunders and rains.

I was quite shocked by Taehyung's story, so I barely managed to control my expression and asked in the softest tone possible.

민여주

So....you've been enduring it alone every time it thundered until now?

태형

....That's right.. I could have gone to my older brothers, but I was taught from a young age that I shouldn't let my weakness be discovered by others, and that the moment my weakness is discovered, it's as good as dead...so I couldn't bring myself to go to my brothers.

태형

But...! Sister... Even if Sister knows my weakness... it's okay

태형

I don't think my sister would take advantage of my weakness.

태형

Because my older sister is... kind...

The female protagonist felt sorry for Taehyung, who was confessing while hesitantly lowering his head, and hugged him tightly.

민여주

Thank you, sister, for believing in me.

민여주

That's right... only bad people bully others by exploiting their weaknesses.

민여주

If there's anyone who bullies such a pure and kind Taehyung, I'll tell everything to my older sister and she'll scold him, okay?

The female protagonist pulled away from Taehyung and faced him with a determined expression.

Taehyung, whose expression was secretly funny, chuckled.

민여주

Hey? You don't trust me right now? I told you I can win everything.

I don't think it's something that a delicate and frail older sister would say, like she would run away in fear even if she met a tiger.

Taehyung muttered to himself and smiled brightly at the female lead.

태형

Yeah! I'll just trust you, sister!

The female protagonist, who was not aware of Taehyung's speed, looked at him and smiled.

Taehyung looked at Yeoju and took a deep breath to calm his boiling insides.

태형

'Not yet... No, a little later...'

Taehyung tried to hide his expression, recalling the old saying that those who endure are blessed.

태형

Phew...sister

민여주

huh?

태형

I'm glad I have a sister... Thanks to you, I can sleep well tonight.

민여주

Really? That's good! I was able to sleep in all the sleep I couldn't get before today! Hahaha

민여주

Come lie down here. I'll sing you a lullaby so you can sleep well.

As the female protagonist moved slightly to the side, Taehyung lay down without saying a word and closed his eyes.

As the female lead, who had been clearing her throat, sang a lullaby in a soft voice, Taehyung listened to the lullaby and apologized to her inwardly.

태형

'I'm sorry, sis... I'm afraid that if I touch such a gentle and kind sis, she'll disappear from my sight... I... am such a coward... But when I become more confident, I'll actively approach you so that I can stand by your side. Just wait a little longer.'

Taehyung, who was listening to the female lead's lullaby, suddenly relaxed and fell asleep. The female lead looked at Taehyung, who was sleeping, as if she found him lovable, and lightly stroked the lines of Taehyung's face.

민여주

Sister... I'll stay here... Come pick me up when you're ready.

민여주

I hope you have sweet dreams...my baby fox...

The female protagonist whispers words that cannot be heard to Taehyung, who is already asleep, and leaves a short kiss on his forehead.

Hoping that she and Taehyung would be together soon, Yeoju lay down, looking at Taehyung, closed her eyes, and tried to sleep.
