once the small passing was done, the crowd scattered back to their businesses.
both you and the servant went back to finding more ornaments.
after a few hoirs of buying and resting on each time,
you saw another gathering by what seems like a board.
"back off, people!" someone shouted.
it was a village worker.
it walked away from the board as the people pass through and bump each other only to see what's posted.
"what's that?" you asked.
the servant shrugged. "i don't know miss, but it's better if we get home early, master jinyoung will get mad if he hears we headed home late."
you only nodded in agreement and followed her on the way home.
outside your room, a few whispers can be heard from the passing servants.
"i heard there will be a full moon tonight."
"a full moon?"
"yes! and the hidden lake was rumoured to have a good view of it."
you sighed and opened the door, startling the maids outside.
"where is the lake?" you quickly asked in.
the maids stood in fear of you and bowed.
"i'm sorry, miss! our conversation has disturbed your rest."
you smiled. "it's ok.... but... where?"
"we don't know it's exact location, miss."
one chimed in. "it was only a passed rumour, but they said it only appears during a full moon. no one has ever seen it before though, i think."
you hummed in response as you got back in your room. "thank you, have a good night." you said, before closing the door and laying down on the bed to rest.
but then again,
who can sleep on a beautiful night like this?
your eyes opened and you grabbed a thick robe and put it on your shoulders.
you sneaked out of the mansion, grabbed a hanging sword and went into the fields, going into the forest.
i'm lost?
you walked into the forest deeper, clutching the sword up at chest level.
perhaps coming out here was the worst idea.
you heard a rustle by the nearby bushes and almost casted out the sword in fear.
"w-who's that...?"
it turned out to be the wind.
while wandering about, you saw some birds fly.
birds...
and only had the hunch to follow it.
the wind blew past your cheeks as you walked through a big bush.
and you stopped.
tearful, you made it.
pretty...
you walked towards the site and the clear reflection of the sky on the surface.
it's just like a mirror...
"i wonder what's a pretty lady like you wandering around in the forest at night."
