" no. "
" … yes? "
Jimin was taken aback by Yesul's unexpected response, and asked her a question. When he asked her back in confusion, Yesul answered without hesitation.
“I think there must be a reason why the Minister didn’t speak to me.”
“I don’t want to hear my untold secret from anyone other than you.”
“And, secrets are meant to be kept.”
“I don’t want to know the secret until it comes out of the person’s mouth.”
“The choice is yours… but you’ll regret it, right?”
“What can I do if I regret it? It was my choice.”
“I don’t dwell on the past, and I take responsibility for the future.”
“Trying to reveal other people’s secrets like that is not a good thing.”
“I don’t understand why you, who act like this, are a messenger from the underworld.”
“Do you think this is all there is to it!!”
When Jimin raised his hand to slap Yesul, Seokjin tried to block, but he was a step too late. Yesul, who was also a police officer in this world, easily blocked Jimin's hand and twisted his arm. Jimin let out a single scream, and Seokjin's expression changed from one of concern to one of relief.
“If you think words are everything, then you are the one.”
“Do you know what will happen if you go around holding hands and talking badly like that?”
“You will be trapped in pitch-black darkness forever.”
“That’s probably your future, not too far away.”
“Let’s go now, Your Majesty.”
“ … “
Jimin could do nothing but watch the backs of the two people walking away and whisper curses in a small voice.
Seokjin's expression was grave and worried, whether he arrived at work, went to work, or returned home. He would constantly glance at Yesul and sigh. Yesul, who had dropped Hye-eun off at her new home first and was frustrated with Seokjin's behavior, finally spoke up.
“Why do you keep sighing? I feel like the ground is going to collapse.”
“Ah… It’s nothing.”
“It’s not nothing!”
“Look at what the Master is doing now. His expression is disturbed, he’s looking around and sighing…”
“Is this the behavior of someone who is nothing?”
“Ah… King Yeomra gave me a task, but it’s not going well, so don’t worry about it.”
“What is it? I’ll help you too.”
“No, someday… it will be resolved.”
“If you do it with me, it will be resolved faster.”
“That’s true, but… I can’t tell Yesul.”
“I thought I had become quite close with the tea master…”
“I guess it was just my delusion.”
" … yes? "
“I don’t want to keep asking you for your secrets either, but it seems like there are more secrets you keep from me than I thought.”
“ … None, except for the one that Park Jimin mentioned earlier.”
“Is King Yeomra involved too?”
“What on earth is going on that you’re keeping from me?”
“Please tell me too.”
