In the prosperous kingdom of Kwangya, Queen Karina's reign is unmatched, but she longs for something to fill the void in her heart. When Winter, a time traveler from 2024, is imprisoned in the castle, Karina is immediately captivated by her intellig...
"I'm scared," I whispered, my voice breaking as I collapsed into Winter's arms. We were in my room, a place that once felt safe and familiar but now seemed engulfed in shadows. The night outside cast long, eerie silhouettes on the walls, and the cold, oppressive silence only amplified my fears. My tears flowed freely, soaking Winter's shoulder as I clung to her, my body trembling with the weight of my dread.
Winter held me tightly, her arms a comforting anchor in the storm of my emotions. "She will be okay, Jimin," she murmured, her voice soft yet filled with unwavering determination. "Don't worry. I will cure her."
But despite her reassuring words, I couldn't shake the terror that gripped my heart. "What if it's too late? What if she doesn't make it?" My voice was choked with sobs, the words coming out in jagged gasps. The thought of losing Minji, my beloved sister, was unbearable. Memories of our childhood together, the laughter, the shared secrets, and the bond that had always been unbreakable now seemed like fragile threads about to be severed.
Winter gently pulled back, just enough to look into my eyes. Her gaze was steady, filled with a mix of empathy and resolve. "Jimin, you have to believe in her strength and in the medicine that I will create soon. She's a fighter, and so are you. We'll get through this together."
The sincerity in her voice brought a fresh wave of tears. "I don't know what I'll do without her," I admitted, my voice barely a whisper. The darkness in the room seemed to press closer, suffocating me with the weight of my fears.
Winter brushed a strand of hair from my face, her touch gentle and comforting. "You won't have to find out," she said firmly. "Minji is strong, and she's fighting. And we are fighting with her. You are not alone in this."
Her words were like a lifeline, pulling me back from the abyss of my despair. I took a shaky breath, trying to steady myself. "I just... I just love her so much," I confessed, my voice cracking with emotion. "She's always been there for me, and I can't stand the thought of losing her."Winter's eyes softened, and she pulled me into another embrace, her arms wrapping around me protectively. "I know, Jimin. I know. And that's why we won't give up. We have to hold onto hope, for her sake and for ours."
We stayed like that for a long time, the silence between us filled with shared pain and the unspoken promise that we would do everything in our power to save Minji. The night seemed endless, but in Winter's arms, I found a small measure of comfort and the strength to keep hoping, to keep believing that somehow, we would make it through this darkness.
As the first light of dawn began to creep through the window, casting a faint glow in the room, I felt a glimmer of hope pierce through the overwhelming sadness. Winter was right. Minji was a fighter, and with Winter's help, we would fight for her. We had to.
