Should I tell my parents about my older brother?

So this happened yesterday in the morning me(23F)and my older brother(28)decided to go to temple and since there is construction work going in our home we have kind of joint bathroom and toilet but there is a small door separating the area which is not big enough to block the view so we have coverd it with something on the one side.

We don't use them at the same time but since we were getting late he went to toilet and i told him to not get out while i shower he said fine as he takes long enough to shit while showering I was facing the other direction but i could feel someone watching me or was that my instinct idk the moment i turn my head towards the door he was bending forward to get a glance at me and he did see me for few seconds i immediately said "what are you looking at" he just mumbled something i couldn't really understand as I was so traumatic by his behaviour i quickly dressed and went to my room.

After that i had to continue with our plan coz my friend was also coming I tried to act cool with my friend like always but i can't seem to talk to my brother normally he did try to talk to me but i would just say yes or agree to whatever he was saying to me i don't know what to do anymore it's messing with my head I always walk around home saying I hate men blah blah and that dad and my siblings are the only one I trust but after this incident I'm deeply broken what should I do? I've been crying since yesterday morning even today while showering I couldn't stop myself. He is supposed to protect me from other men why did he do that. if i tell my parents it's gonna get worse he's unmarried (probably have gf)we live in the same home also I have so many exams in upcoming months he is the one who goes with me everytime but now i don't want to be near him i feel so uncomfortable and bad.

Sorry for the typos;)
