1. If you make a choice you won't regret
"..I'll go with Jihoon, sorry Hoshi"
" .. No. If that is the young lady's choice.. I have to accept it."
"Then let's go."
"N..yes"
'Tak-'
" ..? "
"Have fun..ㅎ"
" .. yes "
"Let's go. Quickly."
" .. yes "
So I went with Lee Ji-hoon.
".. Mr. Lee Ji-hoon"
" .. why? "
"..Do you remember me?"
"..If I say no..I'd be lying, right?"
".. Even though you remember me, why did you pretend not to know me?"
" ..you "
" ...? "
"Because I didn't want to get involved with you anymore."
"But... why"
"Because I like you. Because I like you, my heart can't do what I want."
"..then it wasn't because I was bothering you"
"Yes, of course. Rather, I"
" ..? "
"It's harder without a female protagonist..ㅎ"
'Thud-'
"Huh..you're the heroine?"
"Huh...huh...I was worried again...huh"
"I'm sorry... now"
" ..? "
"That bracelet... Will you give it to me?"
'Nod-'
"Here.."
"..Would you like to walk with me for a bit? It's okay if it's hard..ㅇ"
"No. I want to walk."
".. Wipe away your tears and if you keep crying, I'll be heartbroken."
'Swoosh-'
"Is it okay now?..ㅎ"
"Yeah, it's pretty."
" ..// Go quickly.. "
"Okay.. Okay"
So we walked together, leaning against the moonlight, keeping pace with each other.
" ..where is this place?"
"This place is called the Fairy's River. When the moonlight shines, it always illuminates the center. It is said that that is where fairies bathed, so it is called the Fairy's River."
"I see... That fairy must be really pretty, right?"
" ..well, better than the person next to me.. "
" ..// Even empty words have their limits.. "
"It's not just empty words, is it? It's true."
" .. song "
"I'm telling you, is it true?"
"Okay..//"
'Thud-'
" let's go! "
I think Lee Ji-hoon's ears just turned really red... or not...
'After a while'
"Wait a minute~"
" ..? "
'Tak-'
" Ta-da!"
"What is this?"
"You said you wanted to get a fortune teller this morning! The flowers here are the most beautiful."
"Ah~ But I don't have anything to do right now..ㄷ"
"Then I'll make it for you!"
" yes? "
"You just tear them off one by one! I'll do it for you."
"Okay... Okay"
So I opened them one by one and Lee Ji-hoon asked questions.
'Ttok-'
The biggest mistake was asking Lee Ji-hoon the question.
"The heroine and I like each other"
"Huh? "
"Hey... Quickly open it!"
'Ttok-'
"..I don't like it.. "
'Ttok-'
"I like it!"
Then came the last leaf turn.
'Ttok-'
"I like it..!! "
"Hey.. Are you feeling good?"
"Of course!! Heh.. "
"But why do I like you?"
"Because she's the female lead! Do you like female leads?"
" me too.. "
" ..? "
"I like it because it's Lee Ji-hoon..ㅎ"
After that, we just looked at each other in silence for a while.
" thank you "
"Me too"
So we watched each other endlessly, illuminated by the moonlight.
You may not remember, but I think it will all disappear tomorrow, but I hope you remember today, even if we break up again.
That's how we spent the festival day.
'The next day'
2. New rival?
I heard a loud noise since morning. What was going on? Curious, I went outside to check. When I looked, there was a woman standing in front of Lee Ji-hoon. She was pretty... really.
".. Dino what is going on now?"
"Wooji and Hongyeon showed up. That's why it's so noisy since morning."
"Hongyeon? What is that?"
"It refers to people who have a red string attached to their little finger since birth, meaning 'red fate'"
"Ah.. So that person is Wooji's Hongyeon?"
"But I'm a little weird"
"What is it?"
"If Hongyeon is someone who loved each other in a past life, why does Wooji look at her with such resentful eyes?"
"Well... that's true."
"I am Hongyeon, your maid."
"..If you are my Hongyeon, you must know my name. Tell me once."
" ..... "
"Didn't you say you were my Hongyeon, Nayeon?"
"Yeah, but..."
"If you lied, I could kill you right now. I'll give you a chance. Are you really my Hongyeon?"
"S..Actually.. "
'Noisy noisy'
".. No. I am Hongyeon, your highness."
" what..? "
When Lee Ji-hoon heard that it was Hongyeon, his eyes were filled with resentment. It was as if he didn't acknowledge that he was Hongyeon.
"But what should I do?"
"Huh.. yes?"
"I already have a woman I love."
"What is that?"
"Is that person... the person I know?"
"Huh? What is that..?"
"Don't pretend you don't know, Miss."
"No..!! "
'Swoosh-'
"The woman I love has come out at just the right time."
'Tak-'
"Oh no.. I was going to wake you up.. haha. Did you sleep well, Yeoju?"
"Huh? "
Oh.. No? Me? What.. I expected it, but to say that so openly in a crowded place? No! Look at that woman's eyes.. She's shooting lasers from her eyes as if she's going to kill me.. Ha..
"Why? You're not wrong, are you?"
"Well... that's true, but... there are too many people here..."
"Well... there will be more later."
"Uh..no, what I mean is.. "
" huh? "
"No.. "
"Are you...Wooji's woman?"
"Uh..yeah, but?"
"My name is Im Na-yeon. I'm a rabbit. What about you?"
"J..I am a human and my name is Min Yeo-ju.."
"A person? Hah.. Are you saying that Uji's woman is a person?"
" yes? "
"No, but how can you love a human woman?"
"What does it matter?"
"At least until now, only the two previous chiefs have loved human women, and like father, like son."
"..what did you say?"
"Huh? "
"Like father, like son?"
" ... n..what I mean is"
"Then you too are like that father and like that daughter, or is it only the daughter who is so rude?"
"Wh..what??!!"
"Why? You were the one who rudely insulted my family first. Is it a sin for a human and a gumiho to love each other? No, you're acting like it's some kind of racial discrimination that happened when a white person and a black person loved each other. When did that end?"
" ... "
"Oh, you don't even know what racism is?"
" ... I want to go "
'Tak-'
"Listen carefully before you go. If you touch the Wooji family one more time, it will be over."
'Tak-'
" ..just wait and see "
So Im Na-yeon left the forest.
"Ha.. Really"
"That's quite a strong statement, isn't it?"
"Haha.. well, it's gotten a lot weaker compared to the past."
" Heh.. So, what are the thoughts of the person involved, Wooji-nim?"
"That was so cool! Heh.. "
"Well then, that's good. Shall we go now?"
" yes! "
" okay! "
Somehow, I don't think the future will be good...
