Unlucky
This was not his day, from beginning to end, it was simply not a good day for Won. It all started when he was rudely awakened by the sound, and the pain of his so called bed collapsing. There was only one bed in Zack's house and Won sleep in a box. He didn't really fit inside so he slept on top of it. It was just any old boy, but his trusted orange box. It was more of a wooden crate than box, actually, which is way it didn't fall apart under his weight, until that day.
That morning there was a crash formed by the sound of wood being broken and crushed and a man being dropped atop the mess. Won somehow got back on his feet, rubbing his aching back and stared at his precious box in disbelief. "My bed!"
"What bed? That was just a box." Zack said as he got out of bed, a real bed. He had been woken up by the noise so he might as well get up.
"The cruelty! You're heartless!" How could Zack be so insensitive? Won's precious orange box was no more. Where would he sleep? Most importantly, where would he do business? No other wooden box could ever match his precious orange box.
Zack backed away slowly only to find himself with his back pressed against a wall causing a picture of Lillia to become very wrinkled. Fearing that he would have to suffer the trauma of watching Won cry over a box, Zack tried to console him before the first tear fell and began and endless wail of agony. "Maybe I can find another one?"
"Maybe? Maybe isn't good enough and it wouldn't be the same!" Won was in near hysterics and Zack didn't know what to do.
"Um... I'll buy an apple?" Zack asked unsure. He plugged his ears and waited for the cries that didn't come. When he took his hand off his ears, Zack heard Won's familiar apple speech.
"Which one will you buy?" Won asked, after describing each apple and their super long names. Nothing cheered him up like a sale, but even then he informed Zack he fully expected him to keep his word on finding another box identical to the one that sadly perished that unlucky morning.
That wasn't the end of his bad luck as Won had a terrible day in which he didn't sell anything. He only tried to sell apples that day as he couldn't possibly run a shop without a counter orange box. When he returned, hoping that Zack would have found another box for him by then, Won was unable to enter the shipper's house because Rick and Kai were arguing in front of it and Popuri was caught in the middle.
"She's my sister and she doesn't want to talk to you!" Rick yelled so loudly that Popuri cringed and covered her ears.
"She doesn't have to do what you say!" Kai was beginning to feel the heat of thee argument as well and raise his tone of voice. Poor Popuri was receiving the deadly sound waves left and right. Her head felt like it was going to explode.
"She agrees with me!" Rick screamed even louder and absolutely refused to let Popuri get a word in.
"She does! I feel sorry for her because she has to put up with you as a brother! Let's go Popuri, don't listen to him!" Kai started dragging Popuri away in the direction opposite to Rick, which happened to be the dock.
"She's not going anywhere!" Rick took Popuri's arm and tried to drag her away. The two boys pulled as hard as they could while Popuri tried unsuccessfully to break free.
For a moment longer, Won watched, then he decided it was none of his business and that he should go home now that those three were out of the way. However, his luck was still bad as Zack opened the door and threw a shoe. "Shut up!"
The shoe, specifically a boot, hit Won instead of Rick or Kai. The unfortunate merchant stumbled backwards and fell off the dock into the sea. He was about to get out of the water when Rick and Kai fell on him. Popuri had pushed them both off the dock. "I'll do whatever I want!" with that decided, Popuri left.
By some miracle Won managed to avoid drowning and so did Kai and Rick. They both immediately ran off to town to continue pestering Popuri would earn each of them a hand print of the cheek.
When Won finally managed to return to Zack's house, soaking wet, cold and discouraged with life itself, he saw a ray of hope in the shape of a carpenter named Gotz. "It's fixed!" Gotz stepped aside to reveal a box, Won's box, repaired and fortified with the best wood.
"I couldn't find another box so I asked Gotz to fix that one," Zack explained.
"This is great!" Won threw himself on his precious box; to him it was the most conformable place in the world.
"Now for the bill..." Gotz's words hit Won like a ton of bricks. The world itself was truly against him that day.
