meeting uncle

Originally, he was a person with no material desires, so he didn't need much money. But suddenly something unexpected happens and he needs to spend money and doesn't have any money, so he will borrow a few coins from people around him and buy lottery tickets.

If so, then that day's lottery brought luck in exactly the amount of money he needed.

It always happens that way.

Besides Jeong Jaeui who considers luck as a very normal thing in life, Jeong Taeui experiences normal luck and misfortune similar to a normal person. After all, he would be lying if he wasn't jealous of his brother's good fortune in having such a life.

As a child, Jeong Taeui was very jealous of him. It is the jealousy that anyone will have for the wonderful and good things that they cannot have. But when Jeong Taeui gets older, it's not that bad anymore.

Even so, he liked his brother.

He has an extremely wrinkled brain and the ability to use that brain is beyond amazing.

Although he has extremely good luck, his personality is not obnoxious at all. Although he is a bit unusual and indifferent, as a younger brother, Jeong Taeui finds that completely normal. His brother is simply trustworthy.

Jeong Taeui still considers him as a good brother.

... Even after the two of them have lived together for 20 years, he's still a person with many puzzling points, but it seems like all geniuses are like that, Jeong Taeui doesn't know. But he felt that maybe his brother didn't like him very much.

As usual, he was staring at a complex blueprint of something that Jeong Taeui couldn't understand, and occasionally wrote down chemical formulas and drawings of molecular models next to it. Jeong Taeui thought to himself that perhaps he had plunged himself into his 'world that outsiders cannot know' when looking at those strange numbers and chemical formulas. Jeong Taeui climbed onto the sofa next to him and took out a normal literature book that he could understand and read.

It was a quiet and comfortable night like any other. His brother looked at the papers for a long while, not sure if it was because he was tired or not, but he immediately pushed them aside and lay on the floor with a bewildered face as if he was lost and looked up. ceiling.

Then, a tired sigh rang out. He suddenly came to Jeong Taeui and sat down, took his little finger and said.

"Here..."

Then, he spread out his little finger and continued speaking.

"There is a red thread tied tightly between these two fingers. We were born on the same day and at the same time, so maybe it's natural, there's no other way... So, cut it."

"...What?"

What he said was difficult to understand. He is inherently someone who always does things that he cannot understand. But he never said anything he didn't understand.

It was true that he had an abnormal brain, but now Jeong Taeui really doubted whether his brain was truly normal in the conventional sense or not.

However, he just looked at Jeong Taeui with calm eyes and opened his two fingers to form a scissors shape and pretended to cut the invisible red 'thread' between his pinky and Jeong Taeui, as if he was cutting off the invisible relationship.

And right after that, he looked up at the ceiling again as if nothing had happened. Jeong Taeui kept his pinky in the same position and stared at it then suddenly asked.

"You... You actually hate me, right?"

Or maybe he recently did something that made him disgusted. Jeong Taeui searched his memories but couldn't remember what kind of thing he had ever done. What's the problem? What was so serious that his brother suddenly said to cut off the rope connecting the two of them? (Even if you don't see it)

When Jeong Taeui asked that question, Jeong Jaeui turned to look at him with surprise.

"Why me?"

But if Jeong Taeui thinks about it now, perhaps the meaning behind that statement means, 'Then why should I like you', right?

No matter what question there is now, the only person who can solve that question has left without setting a date to return. He left saying that he wanted to endure the surrounding misfortune.

Jeong Taeui thought he had said all the words in his heart, but now seeing him leave like that is very, very lucky. He left before this troublesome guest could arrive and bring trouble with him.

His brother said so. Jeong Taeui tilted his head and stared at his brother. But he doesn't know what his brother's thinking. Confused, Jeong Taeui returned to looking at the book without saying another word.
