[Contest] I'm trying to remember you
02. Encounter
02
There is only one reason why noblemen call servants.
Because it's yours.
Otherwise, there would have been no need to call, and I would have been reluctant to do so.
So, until now, no nobleman has ever called me except for the people in the master's house.
And now, it's broken.
A young man I had never seen before spoke to me.
I couldn't help but be embarrassed.
성운
"this······."
Was that a good thing?
When I looked down at his hand, what he had in his hand was a red ribbon.
It was definitely my hair.
I don't do it because I can't carry it around, but I always carry it with me...
Maybe he picked up what I dropped.
여주
“Oh, thank you.”
He took the ribbon he had in his hand and carefully put it in.
I've never shed it before, so when did it come out?
Anyway, since we had nothing to see or say to each other, we turned around and started walking back the way we came.
At that moment, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.
I didn't even have a chance to stop him.
Words were coming out of my mouth without me knowing.
여주
"I..!"
I came to my senses and stopped talking, but it was already too late.
The young man and his party turned to me.
I felt like I had no choice, so I said what came to mind.
여주
"if······."
여주
“Nebula…?”
Everyone looked confused, as if they didn't know who he was talking about.
Then, as if he realized it, the young master answered.
성운
“No.”
I was excited with a hopeful feeling, but it was as expected.
okay······.
It's been a long time, so I wouldn't recognize you at first glance.
I see you haven't come back yet either...
There must be a reason or I've forgotten.
There is a reason,
I want to come back without forgetting, but I hope I can't come back for some reason.
Could it be that I forgot it because I was having a hard time getting back to how it was?
so·······.
I said no, but maybe you forgot about me?

아씨
“It took a while today. What happened?”
여주
“That······. I guess I came here slowly because I had a lot on my mind.”
아씨
"It's okay. I had a long day today, too..."
How much must you have remembered for the young lady to say it's too late...
I guess I was thinking about the old days without realizing it and my steps slowed down.
여주
“Miss, is there someone you miss?”
아씨
“I miss you... Rather than saying I miss you, there are people I want to see.”
You don't miss me, but you want to see me?
I didn't quite understand.
Doesn't saying "I want to see you" mean "I miss you"?
But I don't miss you, but I want to see you...
I thought it must have been a really complicated relationship.
여주
“Is that so?”
아씨
"That's a bit of a strange thing to say. Don't people usually say they want to see someone because they miss them?"
여주
"yes."
아씨
“I haven’t met him yet. I’ve only heard of him through word of mouth.”
아씨
“Since I was little.”
아씨
“It’s only natural that I don’t miss you since I haven’t seen you.”
아씨
“Actually, I wonder if I’ve been brainwashed without realizing it, but I really want to see you soon.”
여주
"Yes. I, too, will be cheering for you to meet him."
아씨
“But why did you ask that? Because I miss the person.”
여주
“That is······. Actually, there is someone I haven’t seen in a long time and miss.”
아씨
“Did you meet him before he was sold here?”
여주
“Yes. I saw you at the place I was at before.”
아씨
"Then let's take a day off and go. Shouldn't you be compensated for a day or so?"
여주
“Thank you for your kind words, but I won’t be able to see him there anymore.”
여주
“He wasn’t originally there.”
아씨
“Then where should I go?”
여주
“I don’t know. They didn’t tell me anything like that when they left.”
아씨
"Then do you know anything? Let me find it for you."
여주
“Even if I find that person, I can’t meet him.”
여주
“That person······.”
여주
“You are probably the daughter of a noble family, like the young lady.”
여주
“You were wearing beautiful silk clothes.”
여주
“I’m saying that you’re not someone I can just pass over.”
아씨
“Are you perhaps from the countryside?”
여주
“I don’t know about that either. But I’m sure he’ll come to Seoul to see the past.”
여주
“I always check to see if that person has come, but even that is not the case.”
여주
“But, but, ma’am.”
여주
“I think I saw him today.”
아씨
“I see! That’s a good thing.”
여주
“But he didn’t remember me.”
여주
“He is a person who is clearly remembered in my memory.”
