The Winter Knows No Frost

Summary

My father bought twin brothers from the black market to serve as bodyguards for me and my sister.

My sister chose the tall, strong older brother, leaving me with the frail, mute younger one.

Feeling sorry for him, I kept him close, seeking doctors for his silence and maintaining distance to respect his apparent OCD.

I thought trauma had shaped him that way. But when our father's enemies kidnapped us, he abandoned me without hesitation, choosing to die shielding my sister.

In his final moments, he spoke for the first time. "You finally see me."
