“Oh, how is my brother here?”

Younha’s big eyes shook.

It was truly pitiful to see them shivering from the cold while sitting on a park bench in the dark at night.

“ Surprisingly, I was lucky that it wasn’t that far away.”

The moment I became convinced that Hayun and Younha were kidnapped, I thought.

Anyway, the only thing their father, who is presumed to be the leader of the kidnapping, wants is Hayun, who will be lucky if they stay together.

Yun-ha, who brings misfortune, cancels out Hayun’s luck, so being together is only a hindrance.

It must have been a headache from his perspective as well.

He has to figure out how to get rid of Yoon-ha, but if he harms him in any way, Hayun will never cooperate with him.

That’s why we previously chose to isolate Younha somewhere else.

However, now that the girls had been temporarily kidnapped, it was difficult to believe that a separate room would be prepared to detain Younha.

Therefore, the conclusion I came to is abandonment.

In other words, it was possible to guess that He would abandon Youn-ha in a specific location far from Hayun.

In order to use Hayun’s constitution to its full potential, her voluntary will was essential.

Just by being near Hayun, the luck of those around her tends to increase somewhat.

However, her true, sincere luck is not at that level.

The instant lottery she scratched always came in first place, and she is always selected whenever she participates in any event or event.

There was one time, to test my luck, I lost 50 games in a row at Rock, Paper, Scissors with Han Hayun.

The constitution to win without fail when it comes to probabilistic problems. I was defining it that way.

What you don’t wish for doesn’t happen, and what you hope for will definitely happen.

On the other hand, her younger sister, Younha, is the exact opposite.

Unlike her older sister, who can freely manipulate her luck through will, her misfortune is indiscriminate.

Even if she doesn’t want it, unfortunate accidents are bound to happen around her.

Up to this point, the method of finding out the whereabouts of Younha, who must have been abandoned somewhere, was simple.

All you have to do is find the section where accidents occur intensively.

This is the place I found while chasing more than 10 accidents.

I feel really fortunate. If it had been somewhere in the countryside instead of Seoul, it would have taken at least a few days to find it.

“Do you think you know where your sister is?”

“…I’m sorry.”

As soon as she saw me, Younha, who was crying in my arms, shook her head.

His face was filled with guilt, so I patted his head and told him it was okay.

Afterwards, according to the true Younha’s words, Hayun was said to be in an unknown large warehouse with some scary men.

“Do you remember how many people were there?”

“…about 5 people. I think there was. It’s not certain, though.”

Is it 5 people?

It seems clear that a large number of people were mobilized, as seen in the alley at that time.

If you listen to the story, it seems like a relationship between employer and employee, as there was trouble over money.

“…I’ll be waiting here.”

Suddenly, Younha said something like that.

“Why does it hurt where?”

“Oh, no, that’s not it. If I go with you, it will only be a distraction, and if an unfortunate accident happens to you…”

Younha took her body out of my arms and hesitantly stepped back.

Younha’s face was very dark.

As expected, what happened today seemed to have come as quite a shock.

“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have gotten caught.”

I completely agree with that.

If Hayun had been alone, she would have been able to escape alone with miraculous luck even though she was surrounded by kidnappers.

If there was no way to escape physically, or even if someone happened to be passing by, a tiger would have suddenly jumped out from somewhere.

The luck that Hayoon had was, in a way, violent.

“…I’m sure she thinks something like me is a nuisance.”

“That’s not it.”

I cut off Younha’s voice, which was muttering in a sad voice.

“…Yes?”

“Have you ever asked Hayoon directly? Do you hate being with me?”

“…No, but you know how to answer without even asking. I’m sure he’ll say he’s fine as usual. Because my sister is a kind person.”

I once saw this phrase in a parenting book.

The child is always trembling with anxiety.

Wouldn’t it mean that I wouldn’t receive my parents’ love, or would I be disappointed in myself someday?

It is said that the younger the child, whose original self has not yet fully matured, the more likely it is to be shaken.

The same was true for Yunhara, who was more mature than her peers, so the girl in front of me was extremely anxious.

“Once upon a time. There was a story I had with Hayun without Younha’s knowledge.”

To relieve the child’s anxiety, all you had to do was provide a reasonable reason.

In fact, you are not such an ugly child, and everyone thinks you are precious.

Repeat this several times until the child understands.

“Younha, he said he was really fortunate to have you as family.”

“That was my sister…”

“It’s not like that. There is a good reason.”

Looking at Younha, who was still trying to retort with a dark complexion, he slowly shook his head.

The story I will tell from now on is not a lie.

In the past, when I had just moved into my house, I had a secret conversation with Hayun in the living room at night.

“Younha said that if you weren’t there, her life would have been very boring, and she doesn’t really need a world where anything she puts her mind to can happen.”

These were the words Hayoon muttered as if in self-deprecation while confiding in me the circumstances of her past life.

In the past, she was forced to exercise her luck by her parents, but realized at a young age what tremendous power she possessed.

In this world, the act of winning money without working is necessarily accompanied by some risk.

This tendency is especially evident in a world where joys and sorrows collide right under our noses, such as horse racing or gambling.

How did a young girl, only 10 years old, accept the world of adults who cry, laugh, despair, and go crazy over money?

And that too, while knowing that one’s own luck is creating this phenomenon.

“He also said he was afraid.”

“…Yes?”

“Hayun said, just like Younha, that she didn’t want to see people around her unhappy. It would have been better if something like this didn’t exist.”

“…”

Looking at Younha’s wide-eyed face, I thought this was my first time hearing this.

There is no significant difference between adults and children, except that their ages are different.

Always making assumptions about the other person.

Even if you don’t express it in words, the other person will understand it, but in reality, humans are not such delicate creatures.

Even if you express it directly in words, it is not uncommon for there to be differences and misunderstandings. Moreover, if you cannot convey the words properly, differences in thoughts will inevitably arise.

“So, like before, don’t say things like I’m being intrusive or intrusive. Hayun needs Younha as much as you need her.”

“…Do you really need me?”

“Then.”

Younha’s voice trembled.

It wasn’t due to anxiety.

“…Won’t you really hate it if I’m with you?”

“Then.”

“Actually, I was always anxious. I wonder if one day my sister will get scared of me and leave. Because everyone else did that too. At first he said it was okay, but later he got scared…”

The trembling voice gradually turned into crying.

Listening to Younha’s disorganized words, I was keenly aware of how mentally difficult this child had been.

There is always misfortune around Younha.

That is an undeniable fact.

However, it was also true that the constitution that brought unhappiness could be good luck for some people.

“Shall I tell you one interesting fact?”

He opened his mouth as if he was joking with Younha, who was sniffling.

This advice was also written in a parenting book I read before.

When your child is depressed, tell them it’s okay, say something concrete that will comfort them rather than vague comforting words.

“…Fun fact?”

Younha, who was shedding tears with her head down, raised her head and looked at me.

“What Younha just said. Hayun did the same thing.”

To be precise, I said this.

‘…What if Younha hates me one day? I really like my younger brother.’

Hayun thought she was worse than Younha.

Unlike her twin, Younha, who is smart and mature, she is not smart and has no strengths other than luck.

In this way, people’s thoughts always diverge.

Younha was worried that her sister would dislike her because of her unfortunate constitution.

Hayun secretly had an inferiority complex towards her younger brother.

“That’s not true. Unlike me, my sister is very bright, talks well, and jokes around well. It’s fun to be together.”

The sight of Younha getting excited as soon as she heard the story was so cute that a smile appeared on my face without me knowing.

If you ask Hayun about Younha, wouldn’t she give a similar answer?

‘Younha is so cute, I just want to hug her when she stays still. I’m really happy because the real Younha is my younger sister.’

The image of Hayun chattering about her younger brother’s strengths with an excited face was vivid.

“Then, can you help me? I really need Younha’s help to save my sister.”

“…Me?”

“Yes. then. I really hope Younha can help me.”

I nodded, looking at Younha pointing at herself with a puzzled look.
