    “Wow. It’s spring.”

    The world I met after two weeks of being holed up at home was full of light greens, and the wind was filled with warmth.

    “So it is.”

    My brother muttered with a sigh. I quickly turned my gaze from the passenger window to the driver’s seat. My brother’s jaw was stiff as he stared at the road.

    “There must be something going on with you, too, Oppa.”

    “Are you using me as an excuse to skip out on work?”

    My brother answered meekly without giving any rebuttal.

    “Why?”

    “Similar reason to yours.”

    Spring was in full swing, but the two siblings carried wounds of heartbreak. It was quite sad.

    “You’ve been dating your girlfriend for a long time.”

    I thought my brother was definitely going to marry that girlfriend.

    “She told me I was a bad person. So I guess I wanted to be nice to you and confirm that I was a good person.”

    Although he said it with a smile, sorrow dripped from his voice.

    “Over here, right?”

    The car came to a slow stop in front of the Social Sciences Building. My brother graduated from this school early last fall and got a job before graduation, so he settled down earlier than others. He was such a good and talented brother. Now that I got a closer look at him, I could see that his shoulders were slumped.

    “Okay.”

    As soon as I grabbed my backpack and got out of the car, my brother motioned for me to hurry up and go to class. I closed the passenger door and shouted at him to go watch a movie. My feet were heavy as I turned around. When I was young, I was upset because my brother wouldn’t play with me. When I was a teenager, I would talk back to him, and as I got older, it became a daily routine for us to treat each other like we were annoyed with each other.

    They say that once you get on track with your own life, the love between siblings can no longer be felt.

    I understood why my brother knocked on my door. He was worried about me. I thought about my situation, and I understood what my brother was feeling. I felt his pain, and I found comfort in that.

    I flashed a faint smile as he generously handed me four 50,000 won bills1. He must have felt a bit embarrassed because he hurriedly ran back to his car as soon as he shoved the money into my hand.

    “Oppa!”

    My melting heart suddenly froze. Gong Mujin was glaring at me with scary eyes. His cold gaze scanned me from head to toe. His eyes paused once on my wet hair, once on the money I put in my pocket, and then on the bright red taillight of my brother’s car.

    “Who is he?”

    “His normally pleasant voice was cracked and sounded eerie. I looked at him without giving him an answer. He wasn’t wearing a black tracksuit. He was wearing jeans and a white sweatshirt, and he looked like a completely different person. I was still wearing my black canvas shoes.

    I guess I can’t just be indifferent. My heart ached and I couldn’t breathe.

    “I said who is he?”

    Gong Mujin had no right to ask me that. And I don’t know what kind of misunderstanding he may have had, but he had no right to be angry with me.

    “An oppa I know.”

    It wasn’t a lie. But it was enough of a truth to effectively upset him. He drew in a deep breath and seemed to be getting more and more angry. His great sense of justice and high moral consciousness seemed to keep him from understanding this current situation.

    Wet hair as if I just got out of the shower. Money I received from a man.

    It was an unpleasant misunderstanding, but I didn’t want to clear it up because I was annoyed at Gong Mujin for making that misunderstanding in the first place. And I also knew that Gong Mujin wasn’t the type of person to go around school making a fuss about such a misunderstanding.

    It’s too late to regret it now. Explaining that he’s my real brother, asking if he’s going to class, explaining why I haven’t been to class for two weeks…

    It was impossible to have a normal conversation. If I talked, I’d feel weak again, and I would be dragged around by Gong Mujin. I felt like my heart would start wavering. It was obvious that I would fall head over heels again.

    I would rather let go of my feelings like this. If Gong Mujin misunderstood me and began ignoring me completely, I think my heart would finally be able to let go. I am not only naive but also selfish. Of course, I can also be more selfish than naive. However, Gong Mujin was also selfish. If he didn’t have any feelings for me, he shouldn’t have been this angry no matter what I did.

    The only one who could pull my heart back together was myself.

    Even though she was only saying the two of them were related, I suddenly felt as if I were naked. I remembered sharing my schedule with Heesu during the registration period. My head was spinning just thinking about how much Heesu had told him about me.

And it’s true that he changed his schedule so that he could take a class with you.

    I went into the classroom late on purpose. The professor was just about to call attendance when I opened the classroom door. As I quickly scanned the room, I saw his face as he sat in what seemed to be the back row.

    Even after what happened two weeks ago, his handsome face still showed a hint of joy when he discovered my arrival. He seemed to think that I would naturally go to my seat. Instead, I quickly sat down in an empty seat in the front row, disappointing his expectations.

    The play we were going to learn about today was Anton Chekhov’s ‘The Seagull’. The scene where Nina, a woman who wanted to succeed as an actress, chose the old novelist Trigorin and left the male protagonist Treplev made my heart ache. Treplev, who loved Nina, still loved her even after she left.

    When Nina, who had been away, returned for a brief time, she told Treplev that the ability to endure life was more important than shining fame.

    “Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull is a tragedy. The characters have different beliefs. Nina’s belief in success is correct, and Treplev’s belief in love is correct. The conflict that arises from the clash of these two things, none of which can be considered wrong, is what makes this a tragedy.”

    My relationship with Gong Mujin is also a tragedy. I don’t know the full story, but I can’t blame Gong Mujin for not dating because of his obsessions with success. And my belief in protecting myself from a man who makes my heart waver should be respected.

    When beliefs that absolutely cannot coexist collide, it is bound to be a tragedy. And why do all the main characters die? With this thought, my mood sank at the end of class. I quickly grabbed my backpack and left the classroom before the professor even left.

    He was angry, but he seemed happy that the misunderstanding had been resolved. He laughed tiredly. Now I could be as close to handsome Gong Mujin as I wanted.

    “Okay, Oppa-who-is-not-related-to-me.”

    My one and only Gong Mujin. He lowered his head and took my lips once more. Our lips met like interlocking fingers. It was a deeper kiss than before, but it was not overly obscene. It was as magnificent as the fragrant scent of the wisteria flowers that had just begun to bloom.
