Return (✔)

Coronation

After burying Joohyun's body, Mi-yeon excused herself to stay alone for a while.
She told the others that she'll be in her room alone but instead, she secretly walked into the forest.
Her mind was in a total mess now. She just walked without knowing that she was going even further.
Suddenly, Mi-yeon heard a very beautiful sound of an instrument not far from where she was standing.
Mi-yeon then walked slowly towards the sound until she saw a familiar place to her.
Right in front of her was a very beautiful waterfall.
"This... This is... Chul-soo's secret hideout.. How can I end up here?" She muttered.
Her eyes started wandering for a figure she hoped to see. But no one was around. Just the sound of an instrument played in her head.

The sound felt as if it hit the spot in her ears and started to sound weird and loud.
Mi-yeon covered both of her ears with her hand.
"Stop!!" She shouted.
"Chul-soo ah.. stop!! Please stop the music!!" She cried.
"Please, stop!!" She can feel her eyes was watery again.
"Mi-yeon ah.." Someone called her. At the same time, the music also stop.
Mi-yeon slowly turned around seeing Chul-soo stand right in front of her with a dang-bipa on his hand.
He just stared at her deeply.
"Ch.. Chul-soo?? I mean.. your highness.." Mi-yeon voice out.
A smile created on Chul-soo's lips.
"Wh.. what are you.. doing here..?" Mi-yeon asked.

"I should be the one asking you that. This is my secret place, remember?" He chuckled lightly.
"You know what, the woman I meant.. that day.. who showed me this place.. She was your mother, Mi-yeon ssi.." Chul-soo smiled.
"My.. mother?"
Chul-soo just nodded. "You should come here if you miss her.. I'm so glad that you're safe, Yoon Mi-yeon." He said with longing eyes.
"And I came here today because.. I miss you, Yoon Mi-yeon.." He said.
"You did?" Mi-yeon lowered her head. Her heart really wanted to say 'I miss you too..' But, her lips couldn't say those word.
"I miss you, Mi-yeon.. but you hated me.." Chul-soo said, losing his smile.
"Chul-soo ah, I didn't..."
"And I also hate you.." Chul-soo cut her word immediately.
Mi-yeon's heart suddenly broken into pieces when he said that.
"How could you, Yoon Mi-yeon.. how could you lie to me.. How could you used me to complete your revenge!!" He suddenly raised his voice.

"Chul-soo ssi, I didn't mean to do that... I love you Kim Chul-soo!!" Mi-yeon beamed.
"Liar!!!" Chul-soo shouted.
"Don't ever lie to me again.. You don't deserve to have my love.. You're just nothing but an illegitimate daughter of my father.. You're the evil Kim Ji-yoo!! Don't ever interfere in my life again!!" Chul-soo said rudely then turned around.
"Chul-soo ah, wait!!!" Mi-yeon tried to chase him but his figure became further until he lost from her sight.
Mi-yeon looked around her, searching for Chul-soo but he's nowhere to be seen.
"Chul-soo ssi.. Chul-soo ssi!! Your highness!!" She called until she accidentally stumbled on a stone and lost her balance.
The accident caused her to fall into the river.
'Kim Chul-soo!!!' was the only name she could think of until she closed her eyes, getting deeper into the water.

Suddenly Mi-yeon's eyes opened widely  and she quickly sat up, catching air.
Her body was sweaty and she was panting heavily as if she needed more air.
Mi-yeon looked around and found herself in her room with two pair of eyes watching her.
"Mi-yeon ah.. are you okay?" Hee-joon was the first one to step forward and ask.
Hee-joon patted her back to comfort her.
"Hee-joon ssi.." Mi-yeon suddenly cried and hugged Hee-joon tightly.
"It's okay, you're just having a bad dream." Hee-joon said patting her head repeatedly.
"It's.. just a dream?" Mi-yeon asked between her tears.
"Yes, we came here as soon as we heard you shouting. you must've been stressed out a lot." Hee-joon said.
"You keep shouting Chul-soo's name.. of course he came.." Tae-woo spoke out.

Hee-joon just glared at him.
"I.. shouted his name??" Mi-yeon asked.
"You surely didn't realise that. What did you dreamed about?" Tae-woo asked.
Hee-joon just gave him a look. Since when did Kang Tae-woo cared about an unimportant things?
"It's just nothing. Maybe I'm just over thinking. I should rest a lot as a preparation for the plan. I must recover as soon as possible and practice a lot don't I?" Mi-yeon said.
"Are you sure you wanted to do this? I mean, we can go for you.. it is dangerous, I'm worried that you might hurt yourself." Hee-joon asked feeling worried.
"I am sure, don't worry.. I'll make sure to kill that woman with my own hands.." Mi-yeon beamed.
Tae-woo and Hee-joon glanced at each other and sighed.
"It won't be easy, but we'll make sure to help you." Tae-woo said.
