Summary
I’m not asking you to approve. I’m asking you to listen.
This is a story in which you learn of a fragile first love, a love that isn't sure how to exist when it isn't supposed to.
The guilt, the joy, fear, sincerity - when two people are so sure of one another, but are forced to hide themselves.
You are Han Jisung's big sister, his Noona, a title you take very seriously. You're also big sister to his best friend and literal angel, Yongbok, from birth.
For 14 years you've slept in the same bed as Yongbok, protecting him from nightmares and worse things, but now you're leaving for University. It is a time for change in everyone's lives right now; change that you never imagined, change that could get you in big trouble - change that might be changing too much, too fast.

O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell,
When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend
In moral paradise of such sweet flesh?or
Fifteen year old Lee Yongbok loves his Noona. A lot.
(Part 3)I will remind everyone again that this story is primarily about an underage (15 at this time) Felix and his adult (18 at this time) Noona, Jisung's big sister. If that makes you uncomfortable, please hit the back button, as the series is very explicit.
