The peasant heard that the masked man would just hide in vain whenever people approach him. They say he implied that he didn't need any help, shooing them away before locking himself from the world again.
And maybe that's the real reason why people grew frustrated, calling him 'ugly'.
Did he show his face at one point?
Yeonjun didn't have the chance to see it. He only remembered the mask the mysterious man was wearing, covering all of his facial features except for the colors in his eyes.
They seemed to long for something, sharing that unknown something with him. They didn't bear to be hidden. Cracks were found on the mask's chiseled lips, breaking from the loss of a sensation. It didn't possess its role anymore. It was pure white, getting it easily blemished by dust.
It was meant to be blemished, in the first place.
He certainly lost to confusion itself.
He jumped as his eyes were fixed on the flowers. Although he had gotten used to the lifestyle, he kept mumbling. The words still did not escape from his mind.
He hoped the man would not mind.
He hoped for a number of days now.
What he noticed is that the unknown man grew many flowers in his garden, leaving them there for Yeonjun to steal. It was more than he expected, lavishing the ground freely. He was not even in his usual position, sleeping while guarding his precious plants.
Maybe it was a lucky day for Yeonjun.
Why wasn't he stopped by the man who owned the garden?
Maybe fate favored him that day.
His customers gradually increased as he sold the flowers that kept appearing from Soobin's garden, showering him with the same luck the other village people had. Smiling to himself, he couldn't just let it go.
But small part of him wanted to say sorry to the man and pay him back.
It still stayed.
What was the masked man thinking of?
He hoped the mentioned person was fine in his own residence.
He hoped he lived a happy life all by himself inside the cold castle.
