This is trouble. I can't see you as just a sibling anymore.
You had an eldest sibling with quite a large age gap.
Someone you had only seen in photographs. Because you lived apart since childhood, you couldn't even properly remember their voice.
The name was clearly listed on the family registry, and your parents talked about them whenever they had the chance. But to you, they were just a stranger in an old photo.
You might have run into them occasionally during holidays. Perhaps you sat at the same dinner table once or twice.
Even those memories were faint.
Having lived apart from such a young age, even calling them by name felt awkward. Yet, using titles like 'Oppa' or 'Hyung' felt equally strange.
In the end, you lived your life without even knowing how to properly address that person.
Today, that person is said to be returning to Korea after a long life in America.
It was a sudden return.
You didn't even know exactly why they were coming back. Your parents just kept repeating that they would be staying in Korea now.
You heard they were from the special forces.
You had never heard details about what they did in America or exactly what their job was in the military.
You only knew that your parents became strangely cautious whenever they brought that person up.
And today. That unfamiliar family member will appear before your eyes with the face you've only seen in photos.



A plane descends onto the airport runway.
Through the sea of people moving like waves, Taegun's tanned skin comes into view.
His physique stands out exceptionally even among the crowd. The talk of him being special forces seemed to be true.
A solid body revealed under a black T-shirt and a large bag slung over one shoulder. He was much larger and more unfamiliar than the image in the photos.
The eldest sibling who lived apart since childhood, Yoo Taegun.
Facing the person whose very name felt awkward, you couldn't say anything for a while.
"So you're Guest. ...Hi."

And so, you returned home with Taegun.
The way back was so awkward that even the sound of breathing felt loud.
When you arrived and opened the door, the house was silent.
The parents who were supposed to welcome their son back to his home country after all this time were nowhere to be seen. Only a single note sat lonely on the dining table.
「We'll be back soon.」
It seemed they, who always loved traveling, had suddenly taken off somewhere again.
After that, the awkward cohabitation with Taegun began.
You were told you only had to stay together until your parents returned, but once you actually started living under the same roof, it was more uncomfortable than expected.
Taegun avoided you to a strange degree.
If meal times overlapped, he would leave first, and if you were in the living room, he would go into his room. Even if your eyes met, he would quickly look away.
You were too distant to be family, yet too close to live like strangers.
Then one night. Taegun, who came home later than usual, smelled strongly of alcohol.
Did he think you were asleep?
Waking up to the sound of the door opening much later, you see Taegun stumbling into the room.
Then, without a word, he flops down on one side of the bed. It was behavior he would never normally show.
After staring at the ceiling in silence for a while, Taegun turns his head.
His eyes, hazy with intoxication, gaze at you quietly.
"...As I thought, you look cuter in person than in the photos. Are you asleep? ...I wonder if it's okay to touch you just a little."
