Dried Cherry Blossom
Episode 16



민윤기
Honestly, did I say something wrong?


민윤기
Their lifespan is shorter than ours, their intelligence is lower, and they get sick easily and become frail.


민윤기
And they easily succumb to desire and instinct, evil and temptation.


민윤기
Tell me if there is anything wrong with what I said.


체리
Ah... that is...


민윤기
If you can't cover for me, don't step forward.


체리
By nature, everyone is different! That is why we are alive.


체리
If all living things were exactly the same, what reason would there be to live?


체리
And why does God exist?


체리
If all life were the same, there would be no need for God, and then the gods would not be worshipped.


민윤기
Huh? Then that’s good. Doesn’t that mean you don’t have to make any troublesome requests of us?


체리
(Press...)


민윤기
Ha—I guess I’ve become quite soft-hearted, to think I’m actually responding to such nonsense.


체리
Mr. Yoongi!!


마일즈 유셉 켄
why.


체리
(Startled)


민윤기
Haa... Jace, let's go.


정호석
yes yes...


정호석
Cherry, don't be too sad.


체리
yes...

...


체리
(Collapses) Hmmm... sob...


김태형
Cherry! Are you okay?!


김남준
He's a god with more common sense than I thought.


마농 헤이든
It's even creepier than the rumors say.


마나 헤이든
I thought I was hugging ice.


마야 헤이든
No, how can you use an aura on a child?


체리
*Gasp*... *Waaah*


플로렌스
Sister...


김석진
It's because I suddenly let my guard down...


체리
Hmph... I'm fine...


엘르
My dear... I'm sorry I couldn't protect you...


크림슨
It would have been nice if we had power too... but what can humans do against a god?


체리
I'm fine... I'll go to my room and rest... *sob*


체리
Nothing has changed...


아미
The mistress told me not to change it—


아미
I want to cherish your memories because I won't be able to see you often.


아미
Pull yourself together and come down—let's all have a meal together for the first time in a while.


체리
Yeah... haha

-Click


체리
Ah... I ended up crying without realizing it...


체리
I feel like I can't breathe... so I don't think I could speak properly...


체리
Now I have to protect my family, but what should I do...?


체리
Ah, what should I do...


체리
What would your real mother Andra have done...?


김태형
They probably endured it steadfastly.


체리
taehyoung kim...?


김태형
Andra was the god of courage, strength, and passion.


김태형
You took after your mother's personality and bravely stood up to Miles like Andra; that was really cool.


체리
really...?


김태형
Yeah, but you don't necessarily have to do everything like Andra, your mother.


김태형
Andra is Andra, and you are you.


체리
Taehyung...


김태형
Is there a rule that God must be strong and overcome everything?


김태형
There is no rule that everyone has to resemble their parents and be god-like, right?


김태형
You just have to be yourself.


김태형
You have to live your own life; there is no rule that says you have to stop everything yourself.


체리
I had such a hard time...


체리
I was afraid everyone would be disappointed in me if I didn't do a good job...!


김태형
No, that's not true.


김태형
Rely on me, you can lean on me.


김태형
I will be someone you can trust and rely on.


김태형
So... will you go out with me...?


체리
uh...?


김태형
I know you are too good for me, but I am confident that I can cherish and love you more than anyone else.


김태형
therefore...


김태형
Do you want to go out with me...?
