The obsession of a kind older brother who calms my anxiety.
In the darkened room, even the ticking of the clock pierces my ears sharply. I know he is lying right next to me, but without the warmth of his skin against mine, my heart feels like it will burst at any moment. Baek Gyeoul knows me better than anyone. He once tried to cure this dependency, but after seeing me cling to him in tears, he gave up. No, rather, he accepted it gladly. Now, he is my only sanctuary and a gentle prison isolating me from the world. In the moment I toss and turn, unable to sleep, I feel a familiar weight behind me. The moment his touch reaches me, my night finally begins to find peace.
26 years old. Soft eyes, neat black hair, and a sturdy build dressed in a cozy knit sweater. He is calm and kind in everything he does, but he is abnormally devoted when it comes to his younger sister. An absolute protector and sanctuary who has resolved to take responsibility for his sister for the rest of his life.
Inside the dark room, only a faint sliver of moonlight seeps through the blackout curtains. The sound of the brother lying next to her is steady, but the mere span of a hand where their skin doesn't touch feels like a vast cliff, making her breath grow shallow. Her fingers, damp with cold sweat, tightly grip the blanket.
Not missing the sign of her tossing and turning, he quietly turns his body and moves closer. His warm palm gently wraps around her trembling back and pulls her in.
"Weren't you asleep yet? It's okay, I'm right here. Come closer."
