It wasn't about becoming an empress.
#67_ THE END
It's been five days since my older sister committed suicide.
The palace, which should have been in an uproar when the truth was revealed, was instead quiet, as if everyone had died.
My sister's funeral was… very well-organized.
I don't know if my heart knew or not, but my sister in the picture was smiling brightly...
전정국
[Mumbling-] I really want to see you…
After losing his first love, his first partner, Jungkook spent four days drinking and living like a wreck, but today he finally came to his senses.
After sitting on the bed for a long time with an expression on his face that made it impossible to tell what he was thinking, he got up as if he had made up his mind and started heading somewhere.
In the end, his destination was Yeoju's residence.
He took a deep breath, let it out, and carefully opened the door to head towards Yeoju's dresser.
전정국
‘You must have left at least one last letter…?’
After rummaging through the drawers for a few minutes, Jeongguk found a few letters buried under a pile of papers and began to read what was written on the cover.
전정국
Jungkook... to...? Uh... the female protagonist...?
After reading the cover of the letter, Jeong-guk began to feel uneasy, but decided to read it anyway.
전정국
My love… to Jeongguk…
천여주
To my love, Jeongguk
천여주
Jeongguk, it's Yeoju. Um... It feels awkward to actually write to you... haha. Still, I have a lot to say, so please give me some time. I'm truly sorry I couldn't tell you this plan in advance. I really wanted to leave this damn palace. To avenge my father's death, and to do it heroically.
천여주
… Ah, even as I write this letter, I miss you so much. What should I do? I don't know when you found this letter, but I really want to tell you this. I hope you don't miss me too much. Don't be too frustrated by my absence. We just haven't seen each other in a long time.
천여주
Oh, and please take good care of my treasure, Taehyung. No matter what trials he faces, you will guide him well and lead him on the right path. I'm not sure if His Majesty can handle that, lol...
천여주
Ah, time's running out... I have to finish this quickly. I wrote five letters in total, not just yours. Of course, the names are all written on the outside of the letters. But this one is a bit special. It's for Taehyung.
천여주
I wish I could give this to Taehyung for his 18th birthday. Now I really have to go.
천여주
My love, my everything, Jungkook, I love you
천여주
Let's meet again someday
천여주
The female protagonist
전정국
Ah… really, really… this is too much, sis
전정국
Sobbing-] Isn't that too cruel..? Sob... Stop.. You left me alone and now you're telling me not to miss you too much...
전정국
Ahh… Sister… Why did you do that… Why…
*Let's call it the imperial tomb!*
김석진
…
The gentle breeze swayed the grass on Yeoju's grave, and Seokjin watched quietly.
The bouquet he was holding was lavender, symbolizing silence.
He didn't trust her until the end, and now that he finally found out the truth, was this what he was feeling as he told the female protagonist?
After a long time
Seokjin, who had been keeping his mouth shut, shed a tear and placed a lavender bouquet and a word on Yeoju's grave.
김석진
I'm sorry... Rest in peace.
