"But if that accident is inevitable," I murmur, eyes softening. "Would you want me to let go?" Jeongguk pauses for a moment. "Leave the guilt and regret to me," he replies softly. "Once you start a journey, you finish it. It's only right for you to let go because-" "Because you want me to be happy?" She cuts him off. He smiles. "That's right." Or: She met him at an ungodly hour when her life was falling apart. With a backpack full of snacks, a bucketlist, the clothes on their backs, a stolen car, and a hundred secrets, they make a little escape together. Even if it wouldn't last forever. "I've given this book a total of six re-reads, yet I can't help but bawl every single time.

"I live for the dream that my children will be born free," the princess breathes. "That they will be whoever they want to be, and that they'll never ever have to carry a sword wherever they go." "I live for you," Jeongguk answers. Simply because, he only just realised he hadn't thought of being anywhere else but here. Beside the woman who has his heart in the palm of her hands. Even if she would pierce it with an arrow, rip it apart and scatter the pieces around like dirt. Jeongguk realises he wouldn't regret any of it. He watches her lips curve into a smile.
