Hayun was in a good mood all day today.

It was so good that I couldn’t sleep at all because my heart was pounding even during moral class, when I would normally lie down on my desk out of boredom.

“Next time, let’s ask Oppa for a ride!”

“Won’t it be a bother? The distance is very far…”

“I guess so?”

Hayun was discouraged by Yunha’s words.

Coming to school with my brother is very fun and exciting, but I don’t want to be hated. Because I always wanted to remain a loving and cute little sister to my brother.

“But driving together was really fun…”

The time I could have with Yoosung oppa alone at home was limited.

Because there was only one person and there were several people looking for it.

In that sense, what happened this morning was an unexpected luck.

“Really, very rarely, really, if I happen to oversleep once in a while, won’t they take me there again?”

“…Sister. If we oversleep, other people will have to wait.”

“That’s true too.”

The order of using the bathroom in the morning is fixed, so if two people are late, the people behind them will have to wait that much longer.

I thought it was a good idea, but there was such an ambush.

As much as she likes her brother, Hayun also likes the people she lives with.

So I couldn’t be selfish and cause trouble.

“Ugh! Is there any other way?”

“There is no so give up. How long will it be like this?”

“Well, that’s right!”

Hayun, who was passing the school gate after school, looked back.

There, Younha was looking at Hayun with an expression that said she couldn’t stop him.

“Wouldn’t it be better to go home and worry about studying instead? They said there will be a test starting next week.”

“I was intentionally erasing it from my mind…!”

“I will help you too, so let’s study together.”

Unlike Hayun, who doesn’t have much interest in studying, Yunha gets good grades.

Therefore, when the exam day approached, she often helped her sister study.

“After all, there is only Younha! I believed it!”

“There are a lot of people watching…”

“What do you think! Younha is my precious younger sister.”

Hayun didn’t pay attention to Yunha’s shyness and hugged her tightly.

Looking at her sister like that, Younha thought that there was nothing she could do, and a smile appeared on her lips.

“…Yes. It’s really precious.”

“…Sister?”

“Ugh, no. nothing. Rather, what is for dinner tonight? Surely Sujin won’t be cooking today?”

Hayun, who had a serious face for a moment, immediately looked the other way as if she had never done that before.

‘That expression…’

It was only a moment, but Younha looked smart.

That was when I lived with my biological family. It was the face her older sister often showed.

Every night, he would sneak into the basement where Younha was, without her father knowing, and hug her tightly.

‘are you okay.’

Younha felt like her heart sank for a moment, but she soon took a deep breath and regained her composure.

It’s different from before.

I got to know my older brother and met my new family.

When I go home, a delicious meal and a warm bed are always ready.

I could always stay with my sister without worrying about others, and I didn’t have to worry about when my constitution would kick in.

So Hayun won’t have to worry about her in the future.

“…Now that I’ve crawled out, I thought I was going to die while waiting.”

Younha’s thoughts were forcibly interrupted by a person who blocked their path.

The timing was too perfect to be a coincidence.

Just as he said, it seems like he has been waiting here for them to come.

“…!”

Hayun’s eyes widened when she saw a middle-aged man with a haggard look.

If I’m not mistaken, that person…

“…Dad?”

“Yes. It’s dad. I came to bring back my daughter who ran away from home.”

The man smiled unpleasantly.

The messy, messy hair, clearly showing that it had not been maintained for a long time, created an atmosphere like a ruined person.

Reunification with family after about two years.

However, there was nothing like the warm affection between father and daughter that is commonly thought of.

All that is there is endless hostility.

To them, the man in front of them was no longer family.

Hayoon, realizing the man’s identity, quickly looked around.

It was to check if there was anyone nearby who could help them.

However, this is a back alley with few people.

Except for the man and the two people in front of me, there seemed to be no one there.

‘Of course.’

The distance between the school and the bus stop was so bad that I had to take a shortcut.

I regretted that if I had known this would happen, I would have only taken the path with many people, but it was already too late.

“Have you not had enough fun like this? Dad said he was really lonely without my daughter by his side.”

The man slowly approached the two people.

Hayun, on the other hand, raised her guard to the extreme as she saw the man speaking in a friendly tone.

Anyway, that man is a person who thinks that having a family is a good thing as long as he can live well.

I can confidently say that the reason I came to visit them was because I wanted to see my daughter, so it is not the same heart-warming story.

“Younha.”

“…Yes.”

Younha, who was half in panic at Hayun’s words, barely answered.

Hayun whispered to her younger brother in a low voice.

“I will give you the signal, one, two, three, so run straight in the direction we came from. Never look back.”

“…Who is your sister?”

“I am always lucky. I can’t tolerate this much. I’ll quickly overtake you and follow you.”

Hayun smiled confidently.

“…Okay.”

Younha, who was staring at Hayun with eyes full of anxiety, nodded with difficulty.

He knew better than anyone else that even if she were here with him, he would only be a distraction.

And that made Yunha so angry that she cried.

“Okay then, let’s go. One, two, three! Now!”

Hayun playfully shouted loudly as if she were playing a game.

At the signal, Younha immediately turned back.

If she was the older sister she knew, even if she was caught by a man, she would be able to escape on her own.

That’s right, because I’m a special person with all the luck in the world.

On the contrary, she was nothing but a nuisance that only brought misfortune.

So, it was right to separate now.

“…I know.”

Still, my heart ached so much.

This has happened in the past, present, and probably in the future.

Just like now, I will always lean on Hayun’s back and pray that the misfortune that has befallen her will disappear. When everything is over, her sister…

“Because I’m fine.”

I’ll say this like I always did.

Hayun’s voice reached Yunha’s ears as she started to run away with all her might.

Because she was looking back, she couldn’t see what kind of expression her sister was making.

However, Yunha, who has been watching her for a long time, can tell even without looking.

She must be a more dignified and trustworthy older sister than anyone else.

“…When I come back, I’ll teach you to study really hard!”

“ek. I don’t like that.”

After Hayun’s playful answer to the end, Younha ran.

Without ever looking back.

What Hayun wants. Because I knew that she would escape this place safely.

“…It costs a thousand to catch one baby, and that’s nothing.”

However, her desperate escape was blocked by a group of groups that appeared from the other side.

At a glance, the scary-looking men, each holding a deadly tool in each hand, smiled bitterly as they looked at Younha, who was terrified.

“Little girl. I’m sorry, but don’t we have to make a living too?”

Among them, a man who appeared to be the leader slowly approached Younha.

“Younha!”

Hayoon, who spotted them from afar, shouted loudly.

“Younha? Didn’t you say Hayoon? Who should I catch?”

“…I heard it clearly too.”

“They look so similar that you have to tell them apart. Even if they are twins, this is too much.”

The leader, who was staring at Younha with harsh eyes, spat on the floor and stepped out of the alley.

“Hey. good. Because we’re gentlemen, we don’t lay hands on people we don’t care about.”

“…I’m not going to say thank you.”

“What a reckless little boy.”

It was the moment when Younha, who had been glaring at them, was about to leave the alley.

“What are they doing!? I don’t want to get money!?”

“It’s a different girl from the one I requested. No matter how much I am, I feel bad for touching a kid like this.”

The leader grumbled as the man who was suppressing Hayun on the other side shouted.

“That bitch could be Hayun! Anyway, hold on!”

“…Yes?”

For a moment, Yunha forgot about the current situation and could only make a dumb sound.

Even if you weren’t interested in Younha, that’s true.

After becoming a parent, you can’t even recognize the face of your daughter with whom you lived for decades?

“Because I am Hayoon! Leave my little brother alone! I’m the one who has business to do!”

Hayoon, who was being held down by the man while lying on the floor, cried out desperately.

“What should I do? Brother.”

“Well, what can I do? In the field, the client is the boss, so we who are powerless and helpless have to do as we are told.”

The men who had retreated into the alley for a moment surrounded Younha again.

“Because that’s how it happened. Just sleep for a moment. Don’t bother to rebel and end up in pain.”

“Poetry, I hate it-!”

Unfortunately, the girl’s desperately screaming voice was not heard by anyone.
