'Father is shocked! I opened the door and found my own child lying naked with the child next door!'

Just saw the headline. I could only sigh and shut the laptop. Nowadays, online, there are only provocative headlines like 'Girl doesn't have money to pay for house. So the owner of the house asked for sex in exchange' or 'Notorious! A female teacher secretly flirts with a middle school student until she gets pregnant!'

“There's only nonsense news! Some stories are true or fiction. I still don't know!”

I groaned, looking up at the window to see the night view. His hand lifted up the hot cocoa that gave off a fragrant steam and he sipped it. It was quiet inside the Starbucks coffee shop. There were only three employees sitting and asleep.

It is not unusual for something like this to happen during the Chinese New Year festival. Because almost every Chinese person will return to their homes in other provinces. Or they huddle together in ants nesting in the area of ​​the Pearl Tower. make other parts Shanghai has almost become a ghost town. There are only people who worship Guo Ren [1], a greedy person like me. Still sitting madly writing novels I refuse to go anywhere.

“The news is old...but it's not nonsense news, Mr. Writer.”

The accent was clearly Thai. Makes me flinch. I just noticed that there was an elderly man sitting at the same table. His face appeared wrinkled. Gray hair all over the head He smiled widely, showing off his yellow teeth.

“Are you Thai?” I asked without thinking. His eyes scanned his outfit from head to toe. He wore a neat long black coat. It doesn't look like it fits the face that is not clean at all.

“Uncle is not Thai, Mr. Writer. Uncle doesn't belong to any country. Uncle is one with the universe. Have a state of omniscience Know the possibility of every matter. It's just that Uncle can't interfere with anyone. Other than letting other people interfere with him, that's all."

'Is this uncle crazy? How can you talk to yourself like a god?' I groaned in my heart, my hand raised the cocoa and took another sip.

“Uncle, you're not crazy, Mr. Writer. The story you are writing about is 'The Dirty Rose', right?" Uncle's words made me choke on my cocoa. He laughed until his teeth turned yellow. sticking out of mouth

"Hoy! Who are you?!” I exclaimed because the story I wrote (at that time) had never been released to the public.

“Shh, don't be so loud.” He kissed his mouth with a finger. “Uncle doesn't have a specific nickname. Westerners call Uncle 'Fortune'. Easterners call Uncle 'Fortune'. 'Uncertainty', but the writer calls it "Uncertainty". 'God of Fate' is fine."

“Whatever you want to call it, uncle. So, what does Uncle want from me?”

“I just want to tell someone a story,” he said. “The young man who slept with the girl in the news, his name is 'Kit', is a medical student at a famous university. He is the pride of his parents. His life was complete with almost everything. There's only one thing missing..."

“What's missing?” I started to pay attention to the story Uncle had to tell.

"love"

The gray-haired man chuckled deep in his throat.

“Do you want to continue listening?”

“Here you go, uncle.” I turned around and listened intently.

“Can I order a glass of iced latte for Uncle? Something like this must have an offering.” Uncle smiled mysteriously.

“Ah, Uncle! You're tricking me into getting free coffee!” I protested.

“Calm down, Mr. Writer, I swear that my stories can be written for fun. Let the reader think. If it's not fun or you can't write it, I'll pay for the cocoa. Please go order for Uncle. I'll take care of things myself."

“Deal!” with the shyness of a writer So I walked to the counter and came back with the coffee I ordered. Uncle took a few sips and the glass was half empty. He gasped with utmost freshness.

“The writer has read the story

The Metamorphosis

silk?"

“Ever, the main character woke up You found yourself turning into an insect, right?”

“Yes, this matter is similar. Only the protagonist of this story He wakes up and finds himself transformed into a murderer. Just because of one coin.”

Kit pulled his tie until it was close to his collar. He looked at his tall and slender figure in a tuxedo with a proud smile. Tonight he has to go to prom with his friends. To celebrate that everyone was able to push themselves until they graduated.

“Wow! P'Kit dresses handsomely! Are you going to ask P'Lor to marry you?" A loud voice greeted him. coming from behind The naughtiest sister smiled brightly. Walked straight in and punched him in the shoulder.

That's right, the Law that his younger brother mentioned. is the daughter of the uncle next door The Kit and Laor rooms are opposite each other. He has secretly liked her for a long time. But we've never talked. Because her father was very jealous of her. Even male friends are strictly forbidden to bring them into the house. Because she is beautiful Have a slender, beautiful face The body is beautiful and has fair white skin.

It is like a flower on a mountain top that is spotless. and difficult to reach Kit could only secretly glance over. When she brought a book to read on the balcony He had asked his younger sister to help him be a matchmaker to befriend Law. But after the naughty girl got the hang of it. Instead, she burned through her careless heroism. His words let Lao listen for a long time.

“Miss Dulcimer! Look at this. You want chocolate, right?” He looked at his sister through the glass.

“Yes.” The other person raised his head. Kit then ran his hand over his sister's head, which tied her hair into a high bun that looked like garlic. before opening the drawer and giving him some chocolate

“Thank you.” She kissed her brother on the cheek. Then ran quickly back to the room. Until there was a loud noise that echoed throughout the house.

“Hey, this child! How many million times have I told you not to run on the house!”

The mother shouted loudly. While climbing the stairs to the top

“Really! If the dulcimer gets even half the credits, that would be great. All day, just holding a plate and drawing. I can't find a movie book that I want to read!”

She walked over and patted her son on the shoulder.

“Went to eat with friends. Well, don't drink alcohol, child. Mother doesn't want her child to be a drunk like father. Dad is actually a good engineer. But I go home drunk every day!”

“Yes, mother,” Kit answered firmly.

But when it comes to the actual work The atmosphere was fun and exciting with drunken conversation. together with the persuasion of friends It made Kit unable to bear it. He poured whiskey into a glass with a friend and downed it all in one go. When there was a first glass, there was a second glass...a third glass...and how many more times he couldn't remember.

Even the wristwatch pointed to the number twelve. The party broke up and friends asked Kit if he wanted to send him off. But Kit said he could walk to the car himself. But after disappearing from my friend's sight He went limp and nearly fell. I had to support myself with my hands on the electric pole.

“Khao Porridge To Rung?” Looking up, he saw a small restaurant sign. located in front The strong aroma of shrimp oil wafted into my nose. Reminiscent of big shrimp. In bright yellow soup If you get something hot like this, it will probably help relieve your intoxication quite a bit.

I think so. Kit then headed straight to sit in the corner of the shop and order food. Soon a large bowl of shrimp porridge was served. which just takes the first bite He felt greatly refreshed.

“Are you feeling better, young man?” a voice greeted from the next table.

“Much better, Uncle,” Kit turned to answer the old man who was alternately gorging on rice porridge and downing beer bottles.

“Would you like to come and have a beer with Uncle?” The other person held up a beer bottle. From the mouth to the tip of the nose, it was covered with rice grains.

"It's okay, uncle. Let's eat. I've had a lot to drink." Now Kit was starting to get annoyed. Because that uncle wore a black coat that went down to his knees like a person from a cold country, even though Thailand right now is extremely hot.

“I'm sorry, I just started flirting with a girl. I'd like to find someone to sit down and drink beer to celebrate with,” Uncle Black Coat laughed. “Uncle used to like a girl next door. At that time, all I could do was secretly peek. I don't dare to flirt because I'm already at this age. And his mother is jealous of him too.”

Talking and talking, Kit began to hesitate. The situation was familiar, like he was dealing with every day.

“But there was one day. I have an aunt from nowhere. Came to sell ancient coins to uncle Your aunt says that this coin is a lucky coin. Put it on your forehead and pray for what you want. That will come true. Uncle then asked to have a kiss with that girl.”

“So, can you get along with him?” Finally, Kit couldn't resist his curiosity.

"Ouch! There's nothing left!” Uncle said proudly. “That evening His younger brother brought a fruit basket. He said his mother gave it to me. So uncle invited me to sit and drink water in the house first. Because Uncle has something to give as well. So his younger brother followed his uncle into the house. Uncle pretended to be looking for something for a long time to get us to talk, but we talked and talked.

We felt like we liked each other a little too much. Uncle and he went to continue talking on the bed.”

“Wow...that's awesome, Uncle!” Kit exclaimed, “but I probably can't believe it completely. Just one coin What inspiration will it bring? I think the uncle got it with his younger brother. Because Uncle has a better way of speaking.”

“Thank you for the compliment. But I still believe it's because of that coin.” Your uncle laughed. “Do you want to prove it? Uncle brought some coins."

“Is it good, uncle?” A young, newly graduated medical student rubbed his chin. He was somewhat hesitant because of this kind of action. It goes against the science he has been studying since birth.

“Uncle already knows that the young man probably won't believe it. Because I've seen it. The young man should have graduated high. But there's no harm in trying. If there's nothing, then go. It is considered to have been proven until all doubts are eliminated according to scientific principles. Just touch your head with a coin. I'm not going to spray holy water on your face.”

The words resonated exactly with his heart, as if reading his thoughts. And with a desire to prove So he walked over and sat next to his uncle. then leaned his head

“If you succeed, don't forget to repay Uncle. I'll wait here every midnight.” The old man smiled slightly. He pulled out a strange-looking silver coin from his pocket. Picked it up and touched the young man's forehead.

Just a touch Kit felt a coldness spread from head to toe as if cut by a sharp knife. He was startled. Immediately remove your face from the coin.

“Looks good, we will probably meet again.” A wide smile spread across his rough face. The old man put the coins into his pocket as before. Then he got up and went to pay the vendor. Leaving Kit to sit there alone in shock.

The events of a moment ago made Kit completely sober. He was busy searching for medical reasons. What caused that matter? But the more I thought about it, the more dizzy I became. Until reaching the bus stop He sat back and let out a long sigh.

"Is this you...is it Kit who lives next door?"

Kitchayta looked at the sweet voice. must be extremely shocked When the beautiful girl he had been yearning for all his life Standing with a smile in front of you

“Cha...cha...cha...yes.” The young man tried to control his composure and muster up his courage. “Is that right?”

“That's right,” she sat down next to her. “How lucky, I thought I had to wait for the car by myself!”

“Did you come to do it around here?” Kit himself was still suspicious. Because normally Law's father is very strict. I've never once seen Lor leave past 9 p.m. Only once He happened to hear her father scolding her from across the street saying, 'Don't come back this late again!!!'

“Oh, I just sneaked out of the house to hang out with friends.” She raised a finger and made a kiss on the mouth. "Don't tell my father. If he finds out, I'll die."

Pretty girl laughs dryly A face that was once as white as cotton Appears faintly pink The scent of roses floats in the air. It smelled of alcohol mixed in. You can tell right away that you just drank more or less.

"I won't tell you. If a beautiful person dies, it's a shame."

“What?” she giggled, her face turning even redder.

"If a beautiful person dies, it's a shame." Given the opportunity, Kit hurriedly repeated it. He couldn't miss the time to score this.

“Cute.” The girl shoved his shoulder in admiration. “At first I said you were a shy person, but no matter how I looked at you, you turned out to be cute.”

“Don't believe Miss Khim. That girl is stubborn. You only have to lure them with chocolate to make them agree,” the young medical student laughed.

“What about you? Are you stubborn like Miss Khim?”

“Whether you're stubborn or not, you have to try.” At the end of those words, the bus came to a stop and the sidewalk creaked loudly.

The two young men teased each other from the car to the front of the house. Law took the young man's arm and got out of the car. She gave me a pleading look. Ask him to help take you to your room. And whether it was because of drunkenness or charm, it was not clear. The beautiful woman confessed as she hugged the young man up the stairs. that she had feelings for him for a long time She secretly looked at him through the window. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to smile.

That night, the two of them slept and smiled at each other in many poses. Until the metal bed creaked back and forth, until it was quiet. It was Kit's greatest happiness. He woke up late to find that the girl in his heart was lying down looking at him with sparkling eyes.

“Are you awake?” A bright smile appeared on her lips.

Kit didn't answer but smiled. He raised his hand and gently caressed her head.

“Hurry up and get dressed, my father will be here in a moment,” the girl said, sitting up and twisting her body. Sunlight shining through the window Reflecting the white back

“Please give me a hug,” the boy moved towards the girl. He stood up and whispered in my ear. Two hands wrapped around her body until they were close.

“Let's play again later.” She grabbed the boy's chin and kissed him on the cheek.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened. A thin golden man walked across the room. He called his daughter down to eat in a cheerful voice. But was shocked and shouted loudly when she saw a man from nowhere. Sitting naked hugging her

“Who are you?! What are you doing, my child?!!!” The father pointed at Kit. The young boy stood up. He made to run outside. But it's too late. Father rushed over and pushed him until he hit the ground. before straddling Throwing punches without holding back

"father! Don't do it to him!”

The old man scolded and glared at his daughter instead of saying 'Don't bother me'.

The young man had a chance. Gather all your strength push people away But unfortunately the other party fell backwards. His head hit the edge of the metal bed. There was a loud crashing sound.

“Scream!!!!!!!!” The girl screamed loudly. When he saw his father lying there, his eyes wide open. Blood flowed all over the floor and the clothes changed color.

The young boy trembled at the sight before him. He glanced at the beautiful woman of his dreams who was now standing rigidly. Staring at him with eyes that were now devoid of charm and filled with fear.

“Sorry,” Kit ran out of the room without looking back. But when I reached the front of the stairs Something appeared and scratched my leg and made my face tingle. He fell and hit the rolling stairs. until the final stage That was before everything went dark. The image that the young boy saw was an old man in a black coat standing on the top of a ladder laughing.

I don't know how long. Kit regained consciousness when he heard the sound of people arguing in his ear. He tried to move but everything was numb and emotionless. Can't even open my eyes. Everything around us was left with boundless darkness.

“I apologize. The teacher's son is currently in a coma. Because his little brother's head had been severely damaged. When will he feel better? I still don't know. The teacher must make up his mind. That even if his little brother wakes up, he might..."

“Maybe what? Are you saying that every part of my brain has been affected?!” The sarcastic tone was definitely his mother's.

“From the results of the brain scan...my younger brother fell from the stairs very hard...good or bad, he even put his face down. If his younger sibling survives He might be... paralyzed or mentally unstable..." The doctor finished. Mother gritted her teeth. Even though Kit can't see But he realized that his mother was very dissatisfied.

“Let it be like this, Kit! My goodness raised you! In a few days I will be a doctor. But why is it like this?!”

“Calm down, Master. That doesn't mean there won't be a chance.” The doctor rebuked the other party in a soft, deep voice. “Please teacher help me go outside. Let the patient get some rest.”

Kit heard his mother's sighing. Followed by the sound of footsteps walking further apart. Until the door slammed shut. The image of the porridge shop that night appeared before me. There was no one in the store. Except for himself and an old man wearing a black coat sitting at the same table. with a bowl of porridge in between

“Who are you! Why did you do this?!” The young medical student roared.

“Speaking loudly is useless. No one can hear it. Besides the two of us,” the wrinkled-faced man chuckled. “Introducing myself officially. I have many names. Westerners call me 'Fortune'. Easterners call me 'Fortune'. 'Uncertainty' but you call me that. 'God of Fate'"

“What kind of god is attacking people?!” The young man didn't stop yelling.

“In this universe I have a neutral status. Can't hurt anyone first. Apart from allowing others to intervene Especially for people who like to gamble like you. Every human who touches me will have good luck and their wishes will be granted. But everything has to be traded off. It's the law of the universe. That balance must be maintained.”

The other person smiled widely, revealing yellow teeth.

“What you get is 'lucky', 'lucky to have sex with the girl you like', but what you have to exchange is... 'Misfortune from now on'"

“Then it means...that coin...” Kit was stunned.

“Yes, little one. It's just a stupid coin, something that makes your wishes come true. It was my power that touched you.” The old man laughed again. This time it was rough. It hurt the young man's heart to the utmost.

No! He shouldn't have just thrown everything away with that stupid coin!

“It's already past midnight.” The old man rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch. “There are many others who are curious and want to try. I'll come back and talk to you again. In case you get lonely.”

“Wait, old man—”

But it was too late, and the figure disappeared along with the surrounding environment. Leaving the young man stranded in the dark and lonely.

“Damn god!” Kit cursed. This was the first time he had ever felt so angry.

A young medical student was left alone for an unknown amount of time. But at least The picture ahead is not always dark. At one point it appeared in a speculative vision. that it was a dream He saw Lao sitting in the corner of the room, hugging his knees and crying. Then he would walk over and touch her on the shoulder. The girl whipped her head back and screamed loudly. Her eyes were swollen and red. Tears flowed down both cheeks like rivers of blood.

Luckily, there was the sound of a door opening. Those visions disappeared. Kit listened intently to the sound of approaching footsteps. I heard the voices of two women talking.

“This young man has good looks. But it's a pity that I was born a murderer!” The nurse said with a grunt.

“True!” Another gossiping voice joined in. “Do you remember the interview? That the daughter gave a statement to the police?”

"Oh, I remember. This ghost climbed the fence and went into the house to rape you." The person who opened the issue answered in a clear voice.

“That's it! And then it hit your father on the head and he was blindsided.” Her friend's voice sounded mixed with shock and mockery.

“Fortunately, this bastard is stupid! I tripped over my own feet and fell down the stairs,” she laughed.

“Wow! Retribution!” came the mocking tone of the fellow nurse. It pierced the young man's heart.

“That's it. Seriously, if it's not against the law. I would have secretly taken off his ventilator for a long time.”

“Don't try to do it. Letting you suffer like this will make you miserable. Unfortunately, Dr. Prasert said that the patient was in a state of unconsciousness. I really want him to hear what we are gossiping about.”

Then the two nurses laughed and laughed. Every word played in Kit's mind over and over. It's like a sharp knife that stabs a young man's heart repeatedly. Without being able to respond or stand up and raise the middle finger to curse. The only thing the boy could do was imagine the two nurses as chubby aunts. He was slamming his fist into his face without holding back.

When the two nurses left the room Stillness filled the room as usual. But instead of Kit's mind becoming calm. Kit, on the other hand, imagines all sorts of things.

'What is happening to our family now? How will our friends view us? Will you still be with us like before?

Yes! If those two nurses said that...it means Laor gave a statement to the police that was different from reality! Why did Law do this to us? Want to escape guilt? Or want to be famous? Or what do you want!'

The thoughts are all chaotic. Until the door rang again.

"P'Kit..."

That playful, pleading voice Kit clearly remembered the tone of his mischievous sister's voice.

“P'Kit...has he recovered yet? Today I bought some lavender flowers for you. Westerners liken it to giving lavender flowers. It is a way to send encouragement saying 'Fighting'.”

The scent floated along with the sound of footsteps heading towards the bedside.

“Just now, when I was walking in the hospital hall, Khim heard the nurses gossiping about him. Those old bastards know a lot about you! They gossip about how you got through the medical profession because you used your mother's connections."

A young medical student heard the sound of gnashing of teeth. from the younger

“Society always knows better than you do, right? That's why I don't have many friends."

But then her voice became more cheerful.

“No matter what society says about you, You are always a good person to me. Because I know you better than anyone else.”

He felt a kiss on his cheek.

“I'll come visit you soon. Now I'm more determined to study. Plus I do it part-time too. Do you see how dedicated that little bitch is to you?”

Before hearing a whisper:

“However, I still haven't stopped drawing. It's my preference. I'll take your picture and hang it next to my bed. I intended to draw it for you.”

Finished speaking, the sound of walking tight. It sounded out of the room.

Kit let out a cry that dried up in the midst of his desolation. He repeatedly blamed himself. That he should take better care of his younger sister. and should indulge her more He wanted to hug his beloved sister, to rub her head, to kiss her on the cheek, and whisper in her ear, 'Thank you, naughty boy.' He shouldn't have wasted his time on fake love. who is ready to stab you in the back when he makes a mistake

But can you understand it?...Because if we're being honest. He himself caused Lao pain. He took away her father. It can be compared that he also took his love away from her...

I don't know how long I was stuck in my own consciousness. He regained consciousness and heard a loud noise coming to a halt next to the bed. Then he composed his mind and listened intently. I found out that it was my father and mother who were arguing.

“How do you raise your children? Why did you do such a bad thing?!” Father's side growled.

“Because you are a bad example. Go on drinking and dissipating. If not, you are an engineer in a leading company. A doctor's degree from outside the country like me would never take you as my husband!” Mom's side shouted back. His voice was equally angry.

"Yes! Try breaking up with him! I will wait to see if you have enough money to pay for Kit's treatment at the same time. And take care of Miss Khim?!”

That made the mother's side quiet. Even Kit himself was shocked. I don't think my father was born. Will you dare to say this sentence?

The father sighed. “Just the cost of the ventilator is how much? What will be the cost of hospital stay? Insurance doesn't dare issue it. Because this guy is a danger to society. If you come out, you'll be bombarded by the world of social media. Why would you give money to a murderer?!”

“Right now, I don't know what's wrong with the world. Follow social media trends. If you scold someone, you scold them. If you hang them, they hang them. Truly fellow human beings.” The mother sighed in response.

“Now let Kitt rest,” said the father.

“Yes, now there is only Miss Khim left who can give hope. I will be more strict with Miss Khim. Will be more strict than Kit. Because this girl can't think for herself. All day she just draws pictures and doesn't do any work."

heard that Kit shouted, "Don't!" He struggled as hard as he could, but it was no use. He could only cry out loud. Listen to the door slam shut.

God! Your grace! Or all sacred things! If you really existed Please help inspire father and mother to change their minds. Or please understand that The essence of Khim is that of a determined child. —Just didn't intend it in a way that my parents liked!

“Is that what you called me?” His plea was finished. The owner of the voice revealed himself in front of him. The environment changed back to a porridge shop. The only difference was that on the table there was now a shot glass and a bottle of white liquor instead of a rice bowl.

“Bastard like you. Is it something sacred to him as well?!” The young man shouted.

“Gods are sacred all the same.” The opposite side smiled teasingly.

“Sigh! Completely hopeless,” Kit complained.

“Don't be sad, at least your sister is the hope of the family, right?” The old man opened the bottle. Pour the white wine into a shot glass and down.

“What kind of crazy hope? You'll never understand.” The young man sobbed.

“What don't you understand?” This time the yellow-teethed man spoke in a comforting tone. Not mocking like before: “When I was a child, I wanted to be an archaeologist, but my mother asked me, 'Have you studied archaeology yet? What will you be like when you grow up? The best thing is to be a teacher at a university. But if you compare the salaries You can't compete with a doctor or an engineering professor.'

So you were forced to abandon your dream. and act like a good child to your mother.”

“This god knows a lot about other people,” the young medical student said sarcastically.

“Don't forget, I have the state of omniscience. Know the nature of every matter.” But the other party smiled at him.

“Then tell me. What is my sister doing?” Kit tried to stab the garden.

“I won't tell.” The wrinkled-faced god poured more wine.

“Oh! Then you know it's not true, right?" The young man took action.

“If I tell you the situation. or say hello to the future Your luck will change for the worse.” The old man put his glass of wine on the table. The smile on his lips fell. “Because the universe has created a balance, good things must come with bad things. There is nothing more.”

His eyes stared intently at the young man. Until he was trembling even though he had no body that could respond.

“I want your luck. Can it get any worse?”

The cheerful atmosphere was completely destroyed. The two looked at each other. Silence replaced it.

“Haha, I'm scared.” The nervous god suddenly laughed. Yellow teeth popped out. before downing another glass of white wine

“You bastard!” Kit shouted, but couldn't help but laugh.

“The fun has just begun.” After saying that, everything disappeared again.

This time, more time passed than usual. Kit heard the sound of doctors and nurses coming into the room to check on this and that. But everything is rather quiet. No one came to visit at all. At first, the young medical student's mind composed various images, sometimes creating images of his younger sister arguing with her mother.

Sometimes he conjures images of a family that is experiencing financial problems and has to sell their house and car. Or even pictures from the day he recovered. is being condemned by society become the underdog Can't find a job

But as time passed, his mind began to calm down. It's as if the brain is learning. That if you think too much, you won't see anything getting better. He was still lying mute. Can't communicate with anyone except the god of the feet. who often offers to visit every midnight, which is the only thing that helps him tell the time

Until one day The door opened slowly, creaking loudly, and the sound of footsteps reaching the head of the bed.

“P'Kit...sorry for being gone for so long...I brought the picture as promised...I also secretly ate the chocolate in your drawer. But why...is it not as delicious as when you gave it to me…”

Even if you laugh and laugh The tone was clearly tinged with sadness.

“Maybe I can't draw it well. Because I don't have time. But I tried my best.”

I heard that. He wanted to pat his head and thank his sister. Because I just knew that she came to visit. He was very happy.

“Phi Kit...I'm out of the house right now...Mom is putting a lot of pressure on me...I know that I want to be a drawing teacher. But my mother wants me to study engineering...if I'm good at drawing, I have to study architect...or some other professional field where I graduate and get good money and a good position. But I don't like it, I won't accept it, so I got kicked out of the house by my mother.

Now I work part-time as an art teacher at a private school. At first things went well, until a math teacher came in and befriended me until I trusted him to be my best friend. And there was one day He invited me to eat papaya salad at home. I went because I trusted my friend. But while eating papaya salad He brought a Pepsi bottle.

I took it and downed it in just one gulp. The picture cut out and I felt myself again. I'm already sleeping with him!”

My sister's voice began to sob.

“I hurried to take emergency contraceptive pills, but I didn't have time. One day, I threw up several times in a row. So I hurriedly bought a pregnancy test to check...and it showed two lines...yes! I'm pregnant! But it's not just that.”

She let out a sigh.

“I went to look for him at home. Tell him to take responsibility, but he refuses because he just got engaged to his girlfriend. He couldn't let me ruin his love marriage...so he pulled out a gun and pointed it at his head. Giving an ultimatum to get an abortion and get the fuck out of my head...but that shouldn't hurt. It's like they took a clip of a sleeping mouse and released it for sale in a secret group.

Until there was a clip leaked all over the internet.”

Her cries grew closer. A shrill voice makes people die.

“I have informed the police. He has been arrested and prosecuted. But the clip of it still hasn't gone anywhere. So I got stared at by the people around me. I got expelled from school, and my parents still called to blame me. They blame it on me. who ran away from home and became promiscuous until she became pregnant—instead of encouraging each other! ”

Her sister's every word changed like a sharp saw that slowly faded. Cut out his heart piece by piece. Without being able to do anything yourself Aside from crying loudly at the sound of that girl's sobbing. He wanted to wrap her in his embrace. I want to say that it's okay. Whatever society says, so be it. If you return to normal I'm happy to help raise my grandchildren. Don't go get an abortion.

It's not because of sin, merit, or punishment. But Khim doesn't have that strong body. Going for an abortion may have dangerous complications.

Sigh!...If everything goes according to plan! That bitch probably didn't have to go through something like this.

"P'Kit...I'm so lucky that I didn't have to go through anything like this." The wailing sound didn't stop. “I know you're still asleep...maybe I'm just talking to myself right now...but I want to tell you... 'I love you very much.' If I ever offend anything, Please forgive me!”

End of sister's words The sound of running and straining was heard far from the bed. Followed by the sound of glass breaking.

"Hoy! Someone jumped from a building!!!!”

In just a moment, there was chaos all around. There were only screams and loud running noises. Without showing the slightest interest in the young man in the bed. It was as if the body was a rock.

'no! This is just a dream! This is just mental manipulation! He is alone too much! It's not the truth!'

Kit's heart fell into his eyes. Images in the memory arise around the body. Whether it's a smile of happiness Or the laughter of my beloved sister It flows in sequence like a rewind video.

'You mischievous girl! You mischievous girl!!!'

He said it over and over to himself. with eternal emptiness

'Why did you leave me like this? Why did you leave each other behind!'

From talking, it started to change to yelling.

'Why!'

From snort to growl

'Why!!!'

Meanwhile, Kit was taken and moved to another room. Even when the wheels of the bed are dragged and there were loud gossips along the way. But the boy heard them faintly like the sound of a raven in the forest. Because every molecule of the soul He only thought of his own sister.

Until the door creaked open and the sound of Mother sobbing came in.

“Not at all! I shouldn't have spoken harshly. With Yai Khim! No matter how stubborn it is! After all, he is my son. He was born of my flesh!”

“Well, luckily it fell on the grass, at least his child didn't die.” Father's voice was more gloomy than ever. It was soft and smooth, almost a whisper. But it sparked a glimmer of hope in him.

“Now...two of our children...are already in a coma...where do we get the money to get treatment?” Mother's voice trembled.

“If Kit...he knows how difficult we are...” Even if it's just a rambling complaint from his father. It kicked him until he had colic.

“This...God of Luck...” Kit said wearily. A loud voice echoed through the layers. In the realm of loneliness Everything was quiet for a moment. Before the person being called shows up But this time there was no atmosphere in the rice porridge shop. There was just the two of them facing each other in the stillness.

“You called me?” The old man broke the silence. He raised his eyebrows, looking a bit surprised this time. The other party made the call.

“Is it true? You...can grant any wish.” The young man's voice was smooth and emotionless.

“I didn't give a blessing. I'm just changing fate according to your wishes. It all depends on what you desire. But with the law of balance of the universe Everything has to be traded off.” But the gray-haired man refused.

“If I ‘ask my sister to recover,’ is that okay?”

“If you want to ask like that. What is used as a bet? It must be very valuable. That's right, young man.” The spinning god chuckled.

“Then I bet my life,” the young man replied firmly.

“Huh?” The person immediately stopped laughing, “Are you sure you want to give your life in exchange?”

"I'm willing to trade it."

But the young man still insisted firmly.

“For my sister.”

firm words causing a smile to appear on the black coated man's lips again.

“Very Well” 

The old man touched his finger on the front of the bag. Then a bright light appeared in the middle of the young man's head. Until everything became a stunning white

Two days later...online media across all platforms headlined that

'Proven! A girl takes a guy into her room herself!'

'After waiting for the results for a long time Officers also collected forensic evidence. CCTV images Including investigating witnesses who had seen young man A and Miss B teasing each other on the bus. It was found that Ms. A's testimony was somewhat contradictory to the evidence previously mentioned. The officer then dismantled the case and called Miss A.

Come back for questioning again. It appeared that Miss A's testimony this time was completely different from the previous time. The officers then began to pressure her until she confessed. I lied because I didn't want to make myself 'look bad' in other people's eyes. Because she brought a man into the house when father was away.'

At the end of the last paragraph Nurse who used to gossip Then turn off the phone. She shook her head and kissed her lips.

“Wow! Just cut corners!”

“Let's do it again next time. I'll definitely guess right next time,” another nurse laughed as she was pushing a cart full of trays of food.

“But having said that, I feel guilty for that young man as well…” She rubbed her chin.

“Why do you feel sorry for me? It's a conspiracy too.” The other party barked.

“That's true…” She smiled softly, “Uh, this! If next time there is news like this again Shall we make a bet? If anyone guesses wrong, that person will feed them food!”

“Take it! It will be even more fun.” And the two of them laughed. But while opening the door to enter the patient's room The two had to stop. When he saw Kit's mother and father sitting in the room He looked at them with hostile eyes.

"I'm bringing food..." one of the women said. Sweat beaded all over his face. When the mother nods in acceptance The nurses hurriedly placed trays of food on the patient's bed. before scurrying out of the room

“What happened, mother?” The young man's consciousness slowly returned.

“My son has recovered.” His mother came and embraced him. As for the father, he sat and watched with tears streaming down his face. But wait...there's something missing.

“What about Miss Khim?” he immediately asked for his sister.

“His son's younger sibling is asleep. You'll see me soon." Mother looked up and smiled lightly. "Let's eat first, son."

young boy nods He pulled away from the embrace. Open the lid of the food cup. But I couldn't eat it when I saw that it was shrimp porridge. So he opened the chocolate package that was on the tray. It turned out that there was a piece of paper with handwriting on it. The handwriting was his sister's handwriting.

'P'Kit, this will probably be the first and last letter that I write to you.

Now I'm at the porridge shop. I'll stop by to see you again.

I met an uncle who was eating rice. His uncle said that there was a coin that touched his forehead. Whatever you ask for will come true. But there is an exchange.

So I asked him to recover. In exchange for whatever the coin wants. Because at this time You are my luck.

Uncle saw me crying. So I asked him to write a letter expressing his feelings.

I can only tell you.

I love you very much.'

“Mother!” Kit cried out loudly. Tears slowly flowed

“He's sleeping!” Mother replied simply. Then he bowed his head and let out a sigh. Just like the father who sat there with tears in his eyes.

Kit's heart withered like the lavender bouquet beside the bed. Even more, I saw that there was a picture of myself painted with an intricate brush hanging next to the TV. The grief became more prevalent until he wanted to slit his own throat and die.

Kit turned his head to look out the window. But the picture he saw was an old man in a black coat standing smiling in front of the hospital. Side by side, my younger sister was standing and waving at me. Her face was full of brightness.

'Goodbye, good luck to me'

The sound floated around and hit my ears.

Then my beloved sister disappeared along with the old man.

“Uncle, please pay for the coffee now!” As soon as Uncle finished telling his story, I stood up and pointed to him.

“If it's not fun, then why is the writer smiling?” The other party chuckled. I chuckled along.

“It's more depressing,” I sat down. “And does that coin really exist, Uncle?”

"I have it. Do you want to see it?"

“Where?” I answered without thinking. The gray-headed man picked up his coat. Picking up the coin, it became apparent to my eyes that it was actually just an old penny. rusty

“Do you want to try touching your own head?” His uncle grinned.

"No, it's not worth it. It's not worth it." I immediately rejected the offer.

Wow!...I've told you this much. Who would want to risk their own life?

“Thank you for the coffee, Mr. Writer. But next time, if we meet again I probably didn't just come to get coffee.” The smile on the other side of his mouth widened. And the pronoun used to refer to my name also changed.

“Uncle, are you coming to take my life?” I challenged.

“When do you feel unlucky? Please remember this. that it was my handiwork And if one day is unlucky enough I will come and take you to live with me.”

"I'm not afraid, uncle."

My words caused the intimidating people to raise their eyebrows.

“Old age is hidden in youth.

Pain is hidden in the absence of disease.

Death is hidden in every part of life.

It is normal for me to encounter misfortune and death.

Every moment I still breathe.”

The answer made the old man smile widely.

“Then, writer, please keep this in mind. What day did you live carelessly? Or the days when you live your life by letting go of your emotions? That day we will meet again.”

That's the last word. Before the old man got up and left By leaving the old penny as a memento and a constant reminder of me.
