Chapter 94.1

“don’t be surprised to see what’s next!”

“what’s next?”

“your medal shows how wonderful you are!”

what was this about? i stared at my brother for a long time. however, whether it was good for me to see him or if he had other intentions, allen, who became like a colt again, grinned.

“that’s not all, i’m here. i still have a lot to show you. this medal was made by my dad when i first rode a horse in style, and this…”

the bragging continued after that. in fact, i was slightly moved by the fact that he brought something here.

my brother, who was busy running around like a pony, prepared all this and that for me.

‘but not all this!’

that’s right.

“and this is what my dad gave me as a special gift for not missing my class for a week…”

“brother.”

“yes?”

“why are you showing me this?”

my eyes were already blurry from the pain, but i finally spat out a groan.

“what?”

“i’m sick… i thought you were here to comfort me or worry over me, but that’s not it, so i’m curious.”

only then did my brother look at me with a bewildered look. even my brother’s thick lips pouted in the air like a fish, as if he was speechless.

“you came here because you were worried about me, right?”

yes, no matter how foolish or colt-like he was, he wouldn’t be here to brag about that. i hope not.

however, if i had any doubts, it would be the case.

the same was true this time. at my words, allen laughed and scratched his head.

“…are you really here to brag?”

“oh, no, no! i-i was a little worried!”

“…uh, okay.”

all the good feelings i had for my brother had disappeared. what do you mean ‘a little’?

“brother.”

“yes?”

“can you please leave now that you’re a bit worried? i’m a bit tired. i can’t even see properly.”

i brought a towel on my head toward my eyes.

then, as if he had something to say, my brother stuck close to me.

“bebe, are you upset?”

“i’m not upset. i just don’t want to talk to my brother who doesn’t seem interested in me.”

“it’s not that!”

“then why are you in a hurry to show off when i’m sick?”

the colt twisted his body like a puppy who wanted to go to the toilet.

“me too! i didn’t want to do this, but i thought you really liked your twin or something! bebe’s brother is only me! i wanted to show you that i’m an amazing person!”

seeing my brother screaming until i wasn’t surprised, i slightly removed the towel above my eyes and turned my head to the side.

“what?”

“i think you like him more than me… so… oh, it’s not that i didn’t worry about you. it’s just… it’s just… no, i’m sorry. i just thought that i was glad you’re not seeing him.”

i paused for a moment, not knowing what to say.

“sorry, it was a bad idea. i should have worried more about you…”

the corners of my silly brother’s eyes were red. his hands trembled, as if he was really sorry.

“i’m fine with a dumb brother, but i don’t like a weak brother.”

“…what?”

“so don’t cry.”

“i-i’m not crying!”

at my words, my brother quickly wiped the corners of his eyes. it made me laugh a little because it looked cute and absurd.

“my twin brother is my twin brother, and allen is my brother.”

“…wow.”

“of course, my twin brother looks like me, and it’s special because we have something in common.”

whether he didn’t want to cry or express his feelings, he bit his lips without saying a word.

“okay… i guess i was hoping for too much.”

he spoke in a complicated voice, as if he had come to a conclusion on his own.

“i’ll go out and see. i’m really sorry that i did something useless to you.”

i held his hand tightly.

“but you know what? allen, allen, you’re the first one who reached out to me and made me your family. that’s more special than my twin brother.”

“…what?”

“it doesn’t matter who is better and who is worse. everyone is special, but everyone has a different mind.”

my brother’s large eyes, which were fine just now, glistened.

“i don’t like crying, brother.”

“i’m not crying. th-this is sweat… sweat… anyway, me too. you’re very special. at first, i was the only one who didn’t have a younger sister, so i came to you because i wanted a younger sister like harris. but it got bigger and bigger.”

my brother, who was always bright and thoughtless, shed tears.

“this is not crying! i’m a strong brother.”

“i know, i know.”
