{06. Betrayal}

Who would know that feeling?

To a friend I trusted

The feeling of being betrayed

{06. Betrayal}

이여주

I didn't hear the details from Seungcheol either, but

이여주

So, what happened 10 years ago is...

이여주

They say that 10 years ago, when we were 9, a boy the same age moved in next door to Seungcheol's house.

최승철  image

최승철

That boy is Yoon Jeonghan.

이여주

Anyway... if you're going to butt in, you say it yourself. You know exactly what you're talking about.

최승철  image

최승철

okay

최승철  image

최승철

So Jeonghan and I became close quickly.

최승철  image

최승철

We became inseparable friends, just like the female lead.

최승철  image

최승철

But since he doesn't meet the female lead much, she probably won't know Jeonghan.

이여주

That's right

최승철  image

최승철

About six months later, Jeonghan told me that we should leave this castle together.

최승철  image

최승철

And I asked why he said we should leave.

최승철  image

최승철

Jeonghan said

최승철  image

최승철

They say one person dies here.

최승철  image

최승철

I was shocked to hear that.

최승철  image

최승철

But I didn't believe those words.

최승철  image

최승철

Until Jeonghan's words actually come true

최승철  image

최승철

The day that happened

최승철  image

최승철

It was a very ordinary weekend morning.

최승철  image

최승철

And I was walking to the Castle Library.

최승철  image

최승철

It was then

최승철  image

최승철

I heard a scream at the Castle party venue, and at the same time as the sound, I saw Jeonghan running toward where the sound was coming from.

최승철  image

최승철

I followed too.

최승철  image

최승철

Because I'm curious

최승철  image

최승철

That place was extremely shocking.

최승철  image

최승철

Even more so for me, who was 9 years old at the time..

최승철  image

최승철

There was a person who had fallen from the rooftop and died there.

최승철  image

최승철

But back then, that person was the best student at the Castle.

최승철  image

최승철

Just then, Jeonghan spoke as he passed by me.

최승철  image

최승철

"I told you so, didn't I?"

최승철  image

최승철

Then he leisurely left the place.

최승철  image

최승철

I thought hard until the ambulance arrived.

최승철  image

최승철

Why did they die? They clearly looked happy. How difficult must it have been for them?

최승철  image

최승철

I had this thought

최승철  image

최승철

And then, I ended up having a thought I absolutely shouldn't have.

최승철  image

최승철

I decided I had to leave this castle following Jeonghan.

최승철  image

최승철

I told Jeonghan on the way home

최승철  image

최승철

Let's leave this castle together.

최승철  image

최승철

Jeonghan smiled and said let's meet at Castle Square at 10 p.m. that day.

최승철  image

최승철

The kids who lived at Castle back then probably know that the curfew was at 10 PM.

최승철  image

최승철

So when I told Jeonghan that 10 o'clock is the curfew,

최승철  image

최승철

He said it was fine and that he had even gone out at 11 o'clock, so I just believed him and said okay.

최승철  image

최승철

I came out to the square at 10 PM that day as promised to Jeonghan, but he didn't come out even after 30 minutes had passed.

최승철  image

최승철

Then I got caught by the castle security guard and went back home.

최승철  image

최승철

The next day, I went to Jeonghan and asked why he didn't come out.

최승철  image

최승철

Then Jeonghan spoke.

최승철  image

최승철

You can't leave here. And why did you believe me when I said we should leave together? I only said that because I was curious about your reaction. And...

최승철  image

최승철

I was just kidding when I said someone might die; I didn't know it would actually happen, haha.

최승철  image

최승철

With those words, Jeonghan grinned and went into the house.

최승철  image

최승철

After hearing that... I didn't have many friends when I was young, so...

최승철  image

최승철

I felt like I had been betrayed by the friend I trusted the most.

최승철  image

최승철

Since then, I drifted apart from Jeonghan, and he left the Castle almost as if he were kicked out because his father's company had weakened.

최승철  image

최승철

And about a month ago, I got a text from Jeonghan.

최승철  image

최승철

I'm coming back to Black Castle. Let's get along well.
