I've been there in my past life

#4

In the sunlight coming through the window

Yeoju woke up early in the morning.

06:00 AM

6 o'clock, despite the early hour

Maybe it's because I went to bed early yesterday

My body didn't feel stiff, and it was good. Everything was just good.

이여주 image

이여주

Ah, I slept well.

I got out of bed and looked out the window; the weather was sunny.

이여주 image

이여주

I woke up early, should I go for a walk?

After barely managing to shake off Harin, who had said she would follow him

It is the female protagonist who was looking around the palace alone.

It has been over a week since I came here, but

The palace was so vast that there were still many places I hadn't been able to look around.

이여주 image

이여주

The palace is beautiful no matter how many times I see it.

It was like something out of a movie—no, even prettier than that.

이여주 image

이여주

Even a dress like this

이여주 image

이여주

I only dressed it up on dolls when I was little.

이여주 image

이여주

This is the first time I've worn it...

I kept walking. Perhaps because the weather was nice, I wanted to keep walking.

Living in such a beautiful palace

Wearing a dress studded with dangling jewels every day

Thinking it was really funny

이여주 image

이여주

Huh? Over there

As I turned the corner of the white wall, a man was practicing swordsmanship among the trees.

If you pass the stone bridge through the well-maintained bushes

I saw Junhwi and Sunyoung practicing.

문준휘 image

문준휘

Huh? Lee Yeo-ju?

이여주 image

이여주

Wow, are you practicing since the morning?

권순영  image

권순영

Yeah, and what about the female lead? What brings you here this early in the morning?

이여주 image

이여주

Ah, since I woke up early, I came out for a walk.

권순영  image

권순영

Then, do you want to watch us practice? We're going to meet the kids later.

Yeoju nodded at Sunyoung's suggestion.

He sat down with his knees hugged to his chest just like that.

Sunyoung and Junhwi returned to focus on practice after seeing Yeoju sit down.

Watching Sunyoung and Junhwi repeating the same movements under the warm sunlight

My eyes closed on their own.

I wonder if an hour or two had passed.

Junhwi and Sunyoung finished practice and approached Yeoju.

문준휘 image

문준휘

What? Is the female lead asleep?

권순영  image

권순영

(Wobbly) Yeoju, wake up~

Meanwhile, the female lead

이여주 image

이여주

Don't eat all my macarons!!

You are having a very sweet dream.

Anyway, these two...

He must be grinning from ear to ear because even the female lead's sleep-talking looks cute.

The princes would probably say that even if the heroine looks grimy because she hasn't washed, she is cute.

문준휘 image

문준휘

If you don't wake up now, I'm going to eat all the macarons.

이여주 image

이여주

No!! My macarons!!!!! (Jumps up)

문준휘 image

문준휘

Puhahahahaha

이여주 image

이여주

Ah, seriously!! What is this?

권순영  image

권순영

Who ate all your macarons in your dream? Hahaha.

이여주 image

이여주

Kim Min-kyu, you bastard

이여주 image

이여주

How dare you touch my macarons?

문준휘 image

문준휘

Hahahahaha

권순영  image

권순영

No!!! My macarons!!

문준휘 image

문준휘

Wow, they're exactly the same lololol

이여주 image

이여주

No, seriously, don't do it.

권순영  image

권순영

Got it lololol

김민규 image

김민규

What's so funny?

권순영  image

권순영

Hey, you need to apologize to him now lololol

As Mingyu spoke to her, Sunyoung spoke to him as if remembering something again.

김민규 image

김민규

Me? I didn't do anything wrong. (Eyes widening in shock)

Because Mingyu, who is usually clumsy, knows himself all too well

When all sorts of thoughts ran through his head—wondering if he had broken the female lead's things, or if he had bumped or stepped on them while passing by

이여주 image

이여주

Oh, you said you wouldn't do it!!

윤정한  image

윤정한

What the heck lol Why is the female lead angry?

문준휘 image

문준휘

No way lol. The female lead had a dream earlier and said Mingyu stole and ate all of her macarons.

권순영  image

권순영

Even if you eat, do you eat Yeoju's?

김민규 image

김민규

Am I the bad guy now?

부승관 image

부승관

Oh my gosh, that glutton!

When Seungwan, who was listening from the side, chimed in,

김민규 image

김민규

Come here!

부승관 image

부승관

Aaaargh

Seungwan hid behind Jisu's back just as he was and said

부승관 image

부승관

Ah, why are you only picking on me!! Sunyoung hyung did it too.

부승관 image

부승관

Hyung, just be honest. You're only acting like this towards me because you're scared of Sunyoung, right?

김민규 image

김민규

Oh, it's not like that! Aren't you coming over here?

부승관 image

부승관

Wait, did I say something wrong?

As Mingyu ran toward Seungwan, Seungwan moved again and hid behind Yeoju's back.

부승관 image

부승관

Aaaah, Yeoju, that guy is trying to kill me!

이여주 image

이여주

Would you really kill me?

부승관 image

부승관

No way! I'm telling you, that guy is totally capable of doing that. Just look at those eyes.

김민규 image

김민규

Am I a psycho?? What should I kill?

김민규 image

김민규

Get out of there while I'm being nice.

Yeoju, stuck between Mingyu and Seungkwan, was so bothered by the noise that she asked Wonwoo, who was standing next to her.

이여주 image

이여주

When will they finish?

전원우 image

전원우

Uh... it probably won't be over anytime soon.

under...

With screaming from both the front and back, the female protagonist felt like her ears were about to burst and thought she needed to protect them.

이여주 image

이여주

I really didn't want to go this far, but

이여주 image

이여주

Both of you stop it (serious face)

Mingyu and Seungwan seemed scared by the female lead's low voice they were hearing for the first time.

At Yeoju's words telling them to come in front of her, Mingyu and Seungkwan scurried over, glancing nervously at each other.

이여주 image

이여주

handshake

민규,승관 image

민규,승관

handshake....

이여주 image

이여주

Sorry

민규,승관 image

민규,승관

Sorry

이여주 image

이여주

Hug me

민규,승관 image

민규,승관

(Pauses)

For some reason, Mingyu and Seungkwan followed Yeoju's words.

I paused for a moment at the last words, 'Hug me,' but

Soon after, he followed the female lead's words.

이여주 image

이여주

Sigh...

This is a method I used on my younger cousins.

I never thought I would be writing this to people older than me.

이석민 image

이석민

Wow, this is the first time I've seen them listen so well lol

홍지수 image

홍지수

Yeoju, you are amazing.

이여주 image

이여주

Something like this

Behind the scenes

이여주 image

이여주

Hug me

민규,승관 image

민규,승관

Hug me...

이여주 image

이여주

Lastly, pp

No, wait, I almost said it.

이여주 image

이여주

(I almost said "kiss" without realizing it....)

이여주 image

이여주

(If I had said "kiss"... the two of them would have made a huge fuss...)

이여주 image

이여주

(Yeoju, these kids aren't 7 or 8 years old!! Snap out of it. No matter how they act like 7 or 8-year-olds, they are 18 or 19.)

민규,승관 image

민규,승관

Yeoju...? Is there a next one...?

이여주 image

이여주

No, that's it...
