[Contest] What if the bullied outcast Assa fell into the same trap as the past?
EP. White Noise.
정세주
Uh... Where are you going..?
이율
Just. Just walking.
이율
How did you end up being swept away by the river?
정세주
that is...
정세주
hmm...
이율
That's hard to say.
이율
Then, in the distant future, if we become closer.
이율
Tell me then.
정세주
thank you.
이율
So what do you like?
정세주
Me?
이율
Yes, it's you. Who else is here besides you?
정세주
I... like musical instruments.
정세주
Books are good, pictures are good, and exercise is good.
이율
Then let's go to my study. Eun-i and I are the only ones who know about Seolwon-gak.
이율
And the key is always mine.
이율
Okay, there's one more key, take it.
정세주
Uh... thank you...
이율
think.
정세주
Oh... This is a place you would only see in a novel.
정세주
wow...
이율
It's a place that even the palace maids don't come to, so if you're bored, come play by yourself.
이율
Instead, this is a place where only Eun-i and I can enter, except for you.
정세주
No one else can do it.
이율
You're smart.
이율
You can browse the books here as much as you want.
정세주
Then this too...?
I had a book called Interest Diary in my hand.
이율
Hey, hey, give me that!
정세주
I don't like it.
이율
Aren't you going to give it to me?
정세주
Take it and see.
이율
Oh, that's funny, give it to me quickly.
정세주
Let's see, let's see, oh, I can't see...
이율
Why can't I see it?
정세주
I don't know... the Chinese characters...
The moment I put my arm down, His Majesty the Crown Prince snatched the book away.
이율
Well, then I'll teach you the Chinese characters.
정세주
Really?
이율
And hey... hey, won't we be friends?
정세주
Are you a friend?
이율
Ah, I have more power than you, Eun-i... and more money...
The Crown Prince's white cheeks seemed to have turned red.
I can't even make eye contact.
Symptoms that appear when you are embarrassed.
Something... that face overlapped with that person's.
정세주
great!
정세주
Then let's be friends and learn Chinese characters too!
정세주
Well then, let me explain human psychology.
이율
Psychology? Do you even know that?
It's been a long time since someone looked at me like that.
A look that makes you feel cool without needing to explain it in words.
정세주
Your Highness the Crown Prince... doesn't push me away.
이율
Why am I pushing you away? A good kid like you.
정세주
Everyone... hates me...
정세주
He hates me without even telling me why he hates me.
정세주
I just liked that person.
So I cried right there.
The Crown Prince looked at me with a worried look, not a strange one.
At that moment, Eun-i came in through the open door.
왕은
Seju!
왕은
Did you make our Seju cry?
왕은
You asked if we made Seju cry, answer me!
이율
Shut up and stand back.
Eun-i, who was immediately overwhelmed, was unable to say anything.
이율
Why are you crying?
이율
Don't cry and answer.
정세주
that is...
왕은
Seju, do you like medicine?
정세주
yes..?
왕은
Eat this!
Eun-i gave me some medicine wrapped in paper.
왕은
Eat this and calm down before you speak.
Eun-i smiled beautifully and held my hand tightly.
How much more did I cry like that?
Only after my tear ducts had completely dried did I open my mouth.
