February 2021, present time.
It's weird to have spend the night in this big hall. But I can't forget what happened last night... "it was embarrassing urgh!" I said with both hands on my face, definitely regretting my actions. "And gosh, why did I had my hopes high last night? Wait, my gosh is this butterflies in my stomach?? No, no, no!!" I shouted making Chulsoo come over, panicking.
"Ahh, sorry. I was just, uh.. having nightmare, yes.." I said. "... that has to be it, nightmares."
He then told me he's going to Seoul tomorrow for a check up for 3 days, and if I could take care of Eunsa for the meantime. "Sure. Not a problem."
D: [Hi.]
I sent him a letter and food for breakfast.
JH: [Clearly told you I'm fine, my lady.]
D: [Yes, but I wanted you to have a taste of my cooking.]
D: [How is it?]
JH: [This is good.. Your samgyetang.]
JH: [Funny, I remember someone who always fails to cook these types of nourishment...]
D: [I'm thinking, perhaps.. your girl?]
JH: [My girl? Yes. Indeed she is.]
D: [Oh...]
D: [Is she ... pretty?]
JH: [Pretty you say, huh?]
JH: [She's... adorable...]
D: [Are you still together?]
JH: [She's... adorable, she used to.]
D: [She... used to?]
JH: [She's not here anymore.. and no, it's way more painful than break-ups.]
JH: [She died... for me.]
JH: [In my stead.]
D: [I don't know what to say. I'm sorry.]
JH: [That's fine, my lady.]
D: [So she used to be your lover, huh?]
JH: [She was my servant. But I never once treated her like one.]
JH: [Lover, you say? More like a sister.]
Sister? I am such an idiot, for thinking he might be talking about his ex-girlfriend. And feel sorry for him. He must've felt regretful and burdened.
D: [For sure she's honored her decision to die for you. And you should too..]
JH: [Even if it means, leaving me?]
D: [People are bound leave. We have no control over this, over life...]
JH: [But we are never ready for that, aren't we?]
D: [Hm.]
I don't know what to do. I can't find the right words to say. For sure he needs someone right now... "And I wanted to be there for you."
D: [Jeonghan, can I... see you now?]
