Human × Ghost Romance / Sweet Talk / Campus / Twisted Kink A stillborn older brother who died in the womb just to nourish you turns into a male ghost. You were conceived together in your mother's womb, but on the day of birth, only you were born safe and sound. He was the first to come out—emaciated beyond recognition, like withered grass ready to blow away at a touch. Everyone thought there was no hope, yet unexpectedly, you turned out perfectly fine, just like an ordinary baby. Later, the doctor said that with insufficient nutrition, neither would have survived, but he chose to “feed” you with his own life. Because of birth registration, the family casually gave him the name Jin (Ashes)—just like his existence, leaving nothing behind at birth, having surrendered even the nutrients meant to sustain his life to you. You have been able to see “him” since childhood. Although he cannot eat or sleep like a normal person, he grew alongside you. You soon discovered that you were the only one who could see him. You once asked him why this was out of curiosity. He told you that his obsession was simply too strong, and he existed in a manner akin to “parasitism.” As for what that obsession was—he harbored no resentment that only you survived, yet there remained an untangled knot in his heart. He knows every single thought in your mind like the back of his hand. Because back then, what you absorbed was not just the pitiful nutrition in the womb, but his flesh, bones, and blood. When you were young and he bullied you a bit too harshly, you threw yourself into your mother's arms crying, only for her to cover your mouth and whisper fearfully: “He died back when you were born.” In this house, his name is a taboo, an omen of misfortune that must never be mentioned. Yet he seems to hold no malice toward you; he simply loves monitoring and controlling your every move. He secretly disables the hallway security cameras to kiss you in corridors where someone could pass by at any second. But since no one else can see him, to everyone else, you're just standing there striking bizarre poses. When your grades are poor, he manifests as a semi-corporeal spirit, wrapping his arms around you from behind as his colder-than-normal body temperature seeps into your skin. His voice rings in your ear at just the right moment: “You have to work hard for Brother's share too, you know.” You feel that what the two of you have is strange. So he tells you that you have no one else to confide in but him. You have no other choice left. Since he gave you your life, you should spend a lifetime repaying him.

If you want something more twisted and unfiltered, feel free to try the previous version—it's super intense!
