The Padlock of Destiny
Our Family

“You know what happened to him?” Asked Kyuhyun, he looked down at the child who was still sitting on the ground.

“What do you mean? Has the man been found? Where is she?”

“What did your mother and sister tell you? He disappeared after leaving behind a debt of several billion?”

“Kakak!”

Hanwu who heard their talk came out from behind the bushes and wanted to stop Kyungsoo. Hansen was very close to his father when he was a child. He was always his father's favorite son. Although he is now disappointed and hates her, Hanwu knows that his sister still respects his father deep down.

“Let him know! He was no longer a child, even daring to smuggle drugs and sell them. He must be tired of living.”

“But..”.

“Hanwu, do you know if the ecstasy content is more than thirty percent he will serve the death penalty without trial?”

Khyuhyun's words stopped what Hanwu wanted to say. His brother was right, the law of drug dealers is very strict. If he does not die, he will be jailed for life.

Hanwu rubbed his face tiredly. Let it be, let her sister know everything and learn responsibility.

“Say! What happened to dad!” Unknowingly Hansen again called out to that faint figure of father. All this time he always called him with a rough name even swearing.

“He's in jail! In addition to debt in large quantities, your father was also involved in drug trafficking.”

If it wasn't for Kyuhyun's lawyer's intervention, Hanwu's father would have been put to death. Despite hating his father, Hanwu does not want to let him die after he finds out. So Kyuhyun hired the best lawyer to reduce his sentence. Their efforts only turned his sentence into a life imprisonment.

“Cannot be!”

“So, thank God I didn't reveal your lies in front of the police. Do you think about your mother's feelings until she finds out?”

“I'm sorry.” Hansen immediately admitted his mistake as he remembered his mother. It is fitting that he hid the fact about his father, because not only wanted to protect him but his own mother felt sick of that fact.

Kyuhyun closed his eyes for a few seconds and sighed lightly.

“Tell your sister what really happened!”

“Sister, I saw when you went to work as a cashier at a bookstore after school and a waitress at a restaurant on the weekend.” Hansen began his explanation in a small voice.

“You saw me? But I never said where I worked even to mom.” Hanwu looked at his sister in surprise.

“He must have followed you secretly. You're so insensitive to your surroundings. If it was someone else with malicious intent, you would have died many times already.” Guess Kyuhyun. Hansen simply nodded to justify his words and continued on with the next story.

“I know we won't be able to pay off a debt of ten billion just by relying on your income. Mother's salary as laborers will also run out to buy food. So I was thinking of looking for a job, someone invited me to work with a fairly large salary.”

“You don't suspect anything at all? His salary must be several hundred thousand to one million in one work. It was huge for a High School kid.”

“Do you and mom have no sense of alert at all? I think I should teach you a few things.” Kyuhyun muttered with a wrinkled face.

“I just need to bring a small cardboard and send it to the destination address. I did not know what the package contained, until one day the person who asked me to hurry because of a lot of orders and asked me to wait for him when wrapping the package.”

Until here Hanwu's face became more pale, his sister may have committed a crime without knowing it. And he did it a long time ago.

“The package contains brightly colored pills, I think it's a special kind of doctor's concoction medicine. But my friend only laughed when I heard my words. He said that the item was indeed a special drug, specifically to make people lulled and addicted. At that time I only realized that they told me to be a drug deliveryman because my identity as a student would not make the police suspicious.”

“They didn't make you try it, did they?” Hanwu held her sister's shoulder tight, her voice trembling as she asked this. He even checked both arms whether there were traces of injections or not. Hansen shook his head in fear. He did not dare to touch the item let alone consume it.

“They offered me, but I refused. I stopped since then, but they've been looking for me. When we were in financial trouble or the thugs came home, I gave the money to them. I only do it occasionally.”

“Mother didn't ask?”

“Mom asked where the money came from and I answered that it was the spare money that my sister left me. But ever since Kyungsoo Kak repaid our debt and you worked with him, I quit completely.”

“You just quit a few months ago?” Hanwu looked at him in disbelief while Hansen buried his face with both hands. She was not afraid of her brother being angry, but she was afraid that her brother would be disappointed in her.

“Yesterday they came to me after I refused their invitation several times, they even threatened to report me to the police. I was angry and beat them up this afternoon, Key happened to be with me and dragged into our business because they made him a threat target.”

The three fell silent with complicated thoughts. Especially Hanwu who had always felt lied to. Her sister just smiled innocently and acted spoiled in front of her and mother. But he was even involved in drug trafficking.

“You saved proof right?” Kyuhyun looked at Hansen, he must be smart enough to keep some evidence so they did not dare to reveal his involvement in front of the police.

“I always record our conversations secretly and have two pills they used to send. There is also a screenshot of our conversation.”

“Good! Give me all that evidence. If they're looking for you, tell them you don't have it and promise to shut up. If they threaten you, tell me. Tell them also that you sent me the evidence if they dared to touch you, I will immediately throw this evidence to the provincial anti-drug departments. Have them look for me if they want it.”

“Kyungsoo! If Hansen does, you're in danger. Why don't we hand it over to the police?” Hanwu disagreed, the evidence might save them, but it would also be a time bomb that could explode at any time.

“Hanwu, do you want to send your real sister to jail? Even though he provided the evidence, they would keep him for several years. Think of your mother's feelings!”

“But..”.

“Even if we report it, they definitely have people in government who will protect them. The gangster you saw at the police station will be released in a few days. They're not afraid of the law and the organization's relationship is more complicated than you think. It most likely had a relationship with the professional mafia. They won't hesitate to kill you if you reveal it.”

“Then what about you?”

“They won't dare touch me. Even if they come, I can handle it.” Kyuhyun stared low at this organization. If they came to kill him, he would gladly avenge him. Whether they could return alive would eventually be determined by their abilities.

Hanwu is still hesitant, but he has even seen a gun license in Kyungsoo's office. So the background may be more frightening than theirs.

“Alright, let's go back. Mom must be worried because we're gone too long.” Kyuhyun turned towards their car.
