04

But he also had something to worry about.

“But you know. That ribbon from earlier... I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere.”


우진
“Is that the ribbon you picked up earlier?”


우진
“If that’s the case, then it’s something you can easily find at any hardware store.”


우진
“Many noblewomen wear this.”


우진
“There must be a reason for everything. Let’s go quickly.”

He felt something was missing and couldn't take his eyes off her until she moved away.


우진
“You have to go quickly. We’ll be late at this rate.”

He didn't care about those words, but no matter how late it was, he had no choice but to wait.

Only when it was so far away that I couldn't see it did I start walking again.


성운
“I guess I should go find out who it is.”

여주
"Miss! As of today, a ban on marriage has been issued. There are rooms all over the place!"

아씨
“You already knew that?”

여주
“If you have a room these days, what else could it be if not a marriage ban?”

아씨
“It’s just beginning······.”

아씨
“Yeah, let’s stop by the market to get ready. And maybe get some new clothes.”

여주
“Ma’am, may I look around by myself while you are fitting the clothes?”

아씨
“Are you saying this because of that person yesterday? He was someone you missed, but you didn’t recognize him.”

여주
“Ah······. Yes. I haven’t seen you before, so I might not be able to see you today, but I was wondering if you might be interested.”

여주
“Even if it’s not true, I just want to see your face one more time.”

아씨
“Yeah, if I were you, I would want to do that too.”

여주
“Then······. Are you sending it?”

아씨
“If someone is so precious to you, shouldn’t you find them?”

Then the lady smiled at me.

If it were normal, if it were someone else, it would be a smile that would be nothing special, but

To me, that smile was really sweet.

It was so sweet that I didn't know what to do.

Thanks to the lady's help, I was able to look around here and there today too.

But the place that caught my attention the most was the road where I had encountered him.

He didn't go anywhere else and just stood there the whole time.

Without even realizing how much time has passed.

I glanced at the faces of the people passing by.

Even though it was a very large and crowded street, I was still confident about that much.

Whether or not you are the person I am looking for.

But, no matter how much I waited, he didn't show up.

He never came back here again.

What could it have been, or was it because of me?

All kinds of thoughts came to mind.

Then, before we knew it, the sun began to set.

It was only when I saw the setting sun that I realized how late I was.

I was surprised at how much I wanted to find it.

But there was only a little time for that, so I quickly started running.

But it was too late to just go.

Before I knew it, the sun had completely disappeared and the earth was beginning to darken.

I had no choice but to enter a slightly eerie alley.

I always had a strange feeling when I came down this road, but it was late and so...

Still, I think it's okay because I haven't experienced anything special while traveling this route.

Just as I was about to relax, people came walking from afar.

As I got closer, fortunately, they weren't doing anything strange.

The incident happened after I left that alley.

Just like last time, someone tapped my shoulder.

For a moment, I remembered the time I met you.

For a brief moment, I began to hope that I might run into you again.

I looked back, my expectations pounding.

But soon I realized that it wasn't true and I was devastated.

Still, I thought that since there was someone who called me, I should treat them well.

“Is this yours?”

As expected. It was because of that damned dog again.

I guess that ribbon that I had been keeping hidden away without even taking it out fell off again.

It seemed like he picked it up like you.

You came to mind again.

For some reason, a comparison was made.

You were much warmer than the person in front of me now······.

After thinking about this and that, I came to my senses again and received the danggi.

I made eye contact with that person.

He was looking at me with a slightly strange look.

Anyway, I took it with both hands and shook off the dust.

여주
“Why does this keep falling off?”

He muttered to himself and put it back in his arms.

And then I started on my way again.

지훈
"She's dressed like a servant. She carries a ribbon in her bosom. On the main street of Hanseong..."

지훈
“I guess that’s right.”

But I couldn't hear what the person was muttering because he was already far away.

And I couldn't tell that the person was watching me from afar and following me.

I've been copying and pasting for a while now, and I keep forgetting to add backgrounds. But I can't just erase everything and start over...

Oh, and I couldn't find the picture that Woojin chose to use as his profile picture, so I couldn't change it... There are too many pictures.

Jihoon couldn't find a suitable one either, so I'm leaving it blank for a while. Choosing a photo is also a job...

If you have anything that would be suitable, please report it to Opchat. I made this before, so I should write it like this. If I just use Lian, it will come out.

Anyway, I'll be back in a week. I'll work on it as quickly as possible!
