Hilarious

"I still can't find the other two," Hana revealed to her mom, hands deep in her hair as she tried to cling to a thread of her sanity. She's not sure if she can hold on much longer. This whole thing was driving her crazy.

Na-ri looked closely at the girl, motherly concern on her face. What could she do to help ease the pain, if only for a little bit? She had no clue.

Of course she didn't want this to happen. But the rule is the rule: whoever opens the box has the task to bring the Sins back to it. She can't take over as well, since the Sins only listen to the one who freed them, which in this case was Choo Hana.

"There might be someone who can help," she said thoughtfully, and the younger girl's head snapped up, eyes ablaze.

"Jinjja?" The smile turned upside down. "You could've told me this sooner?" She blew a tuft of hair away from her face, frustrated and exasperated that her mom only told her now, when she was close to giving up and was desperate to end this mess.

"Sorry about that, dearest."

Hana pursed her lips shut, her attention caught once she saw a flash of bright yellow pass through the window.

Greed?

No, must be a bird.

Darn that moneygrubbing Sin.

"Who can help me?" she asked, trying to distract herself from focusing too much on the Sin. For sure it's not really him. She's just hungry.

"There's an old man that lives nearby who could be of help to you," Na-ri began, giving the girl a slip of paper after scribbling something on it.

Hana turned it over and over even after she read the address, trying to see if some sort of magic would instantly appear to help her.

She gave a deadpan look to the older woman.

"Seriously eomma, why did you decide to tell me now and not sooner?" She couldn't understand it. She'd been asking for help at least twice but only when she turned moody did her mom decided to reveal an unknown man that could actually aid her in ending this nightmare.

Yes, nightmare. She refused to consider this as reality. Why should she? This was all a bad dream in her part.

She stuffed the slip inside her jean pocket and kissed her mom's cheek goodbye.

"I'm out!"

"Already?" Na-ri couldn't hide her astonishment and surprise.

Hana merely winked in good nature, heading out the door.

"It's better today than tomorrow!"

Unfortunately, her foot caught on the raised part of the doorway and she naturally tripped and stumbled on the ground.

A wince escaped her, feeling pain and embarrassment at having to go through her clumsiness again.

Na-ri stifled a laugh, but was quick to compose herself.

"Careful, Hana."

Said girl picked herself up from the floor, bidding another goodbye, and this time she was successful in doing so, a smile gracing her face.

Now where is that house?

Ohh... it was a low-key noodle shop that blended among the many buildings that it was squeezed upon. It must be hard to find the place if one wasn't really looking.
