“Did you do everything I asked you to do?”

지훈

“Oh, yes. I ran into you by chance when I was going out to work.

우진 image

우진

“When you went out to work?”

지훈

“Yes. The outfit was just as you said.”

지훈

“First of all, I saw that ribbon.”

지훈

“So I followed it from afar.”

우진 image

우진

“Who is it?”

지훈

“Isn’t the left-hand man there?”

지훈

“There’s a lady in the left-hand household, and she’s her direct servant. It seems like she’s in charge of her.”

우진 image

우진

“Are you talking about the strong candidates for this selection?”

우진 image

우진

“Then the servant can come to the palace with you.”

지훈

“That’s probably true.”

우진 image

우진

“Thank you for now. I’ll repay you later.”

우진 image

우진

“His Majesty has come looking for him, so I must go quickly.”

지훈

“Oh, yes. If you need anything else, please come find me.”

우진 image

우진

“······”

우진 image

우진

"indeed······."

여주

“Miss, what did the Great Gamma say?”

아씨

“He just said he was going to Chogan-tak.”

여주

“Super selection…! I’m finally going.”

아씨

“Is it such a happy thing?”

여주

“Oh, I just got carried away. It’s like I was chosen.”

아씨

“The first selection is just a given.”

아씨

“The problem is the third selection beyond the second selection.”

여주

“Still, I’m very excited.”

여주

“Is it just because I’m going to the palace?”

아씨

“I’m happy too. I just keep imagining things like that.”

아씨

“I wonder what the King will do, and what the King will do······.”

여주

“You will definitely become the Crown Princess!”

여주

“Of course, that’s what everyone says.”

여주

“Really, really.”

성운

“A slave of the left-hand man?”

우진 image

우진

"Yes. I think they'll probably come along during the selection process. Would you like to find out more?"

성운 image

성운

“No. It’s becoming more and more clear that it’s not that person.”

우진 image

우진

“How can you be sure?”

성운 image

성운

“Judging by her attire, she seemed to be a servant.”

성운 image

성운

“And when I saw Dangi and his face, there was someone who immediately came to mind.”

성운 image

성운

“But he wasn’t a servant, so I thought he might have sold his body because it was difficult.”

성운 image

성운

“But if you say slave, it’s hard to see them as the same person anymore.”

우진 image

우진

“Were you an ordinary commoner?”

우진 image

우진

“If you think you’ve sold your body, becoming a slave isn’t that rare.”

성운 image

성운

“Isn’t it too much to say that she was a servant of the Left Minister’s house? It would be better if she were a government slave.”

성운 image

성운

"however······."

성운 image

성운

“The more I try to decide that it’s not true, the more it seems like it’s not true.”

우진 image

우진

“Who on earth is it that Your Majesty is looking for?”

우진 image

우진

“What on earth has been going on for you this past year?”

성운 image

성운

“There is something like that.”

성운 image

성운

“Something even you can’t tell me.”

성운 image

성운

“Even though I can’t say anything out loud, it still bothers me.”

성운 image

성운

“The time that has already passed is much longer than the time I spent with him······.”

우진 image

우진

“…”

성운 image

성운

“I'll tell you everything when the time comes. But it's a little early now.”

. . .

When I opened my eyes, I didn't even know how much time had passed.

My whole body ached as if I had been hit here and there.

My whole body ached as if I had been lying down for at least a few days.

Even though I just tried to sit up slightly, it felt like my whole body was being pricked with needles.

The place I woke up was an ordinary living room.

Several pieces of furniture were placed at the edges of the room.

From the door, sunlight came in slightly through the thin window paper.

But I couldn't remember anything.

Where is this place,

How did I end up lying here,

Who am I?

All I remembered was my name.

Just then the door opened and someone stuck his head out.

She was a woman of the same age.

He seemed very embarrassed when he saw me.

Was it because I was sitting up and coming to my senses?

여주

"Are you awake? Thank goodness. I thought you'd been like this your whole life."

I guess I've been lying down much longer than I thought.

No matter how much I tried to say in response to that, the sound wouldn't come out properly.

First of all, I had just woken up and was completely dazed.

여주

“Want something to eat? You haven’t eaten in days, so you’re hungry, right?”

When I nodded slightly at those words, he moved his seat.

Maybe he's going to bring something to eat.

여주

“It’s not particularly delicious, but give it a try.”

After a while he came back with the prize and said.

There was a bowl of rice cake on the table he brought.

여주

“But I’m giving it to you because there’s something to eat now.”

여주

“If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have brought you.”

When I came to my senses, I had already picked up a spoon and taken a spoonful.

Maybe it was because I was hungry, but the meager rice cake smelled delicious.

여주

“Do you remember anything?”

여주

“How did you get hurt like that, or what happened?”

I shook my head, not remembering. Then he spoke again.

여주

“Don’t you remember anything?”

성운 image

성운

“Just a name…?”

여주

“What is your name?”

성운 image

성운

“Ha.. Nebula.”

First of all, I'm sorry it took a week longer.... I couldn't even keep my promise!!!

I'm so excited about the comeback, so if I may, I'm going to talk a little bit... Actually, I was planning a fanfic based on this album's concept.

At first, when MIRAGE came out, I thought of putting in just an album photo, adding some synopsis according to the lyrics, and also putting in some music video scenes to make it come to mind.

Up until The Mermaid Prince, things were going smoothly... I got so caught up in it that I didn't even work on it, I just spent the time planning it...

But the moment I saw the MV teaser 2, I had a mental breakdown. How did they fit this together? It's so polar opposite.. They said it was the ultimate emotional king.

At first I didn't like it because it hit me in the back of the head, but the more I watched it, the more addicted I became. It was a captivating music video teaser. I must have contributed to about 200 views. I could have just played the music video, but I kept watching it. I didn't know I liked this kind of thing... It seems like everyone's heart is the same.

So I haven't finished the work yet and I'm just uploading the save... So I don't think I can promise it will be a week this time.

Oh, and when everyone liked planets, I became a candlelight vigil... I really like bright, warm, beautiful, and happy melodies of songs like Wannabe, Twilight, Zip, Earth (Park Ji-hoon), The The (AB6IX Kim Dong-hyun), Frequency (Park Ji-hoon), etc.

But the lyrics are sad, and if you look closely, they're similar to the story of this piece, so I don't know if that's why I'm more attached to it.

But I can't give up on the planet because when I went to a concert and sang along to Ha Dal more than any other song, I felt the greatest happiness in my life that I've never felt before, so I can't give up. I'm a concert sang along John Ver.

Anyway, the conclusion is that it got pushed back because of planning other works + gathering bait + preparing for a comeback. I got so excited that it became too long.

Lastly, I changed Woojin's photo to this album photo because I like this one too... Now that I think about it, I like Standing A Step Behind as much as the candles. It's just like that.. haha
