Our meeting
I want to live (2)
최여진
"Wow... This place is really pretty... How did you find out about this place?"
윤여주
"I know mountains pretty well. That's why. I know most of them."
김한성
For some reason, I don't think I'll be able to come here next time.
박지민
"...What are you talking about? Weren't you fully recovered?"
Hanseong speaks, flustered by Jimin's voice speaking quickly in a sharp tone.
김한성
"Really? Spring is almost over, you know. That's why. And I heard the illness is recovering well."
윤여주
"......"
Yeojin quickly smiled at the sudden chill in the atmosphere and began to speak.
최여진
"Uh... um... then... let's play cherry blossom petal catching. They say if you catch one in one go and make a wish, it comes true!"
윤여주
"Really? Then I should do it too!"
김한성
"Is this really going to happen? For sure?"
박지민
"Hey. Then everyone in the world must have had their wishes granted."
최여진
"Jimina! You try it too! I'm going to make a wish, too. And you have to keep your wish to yourself. They say the effect wears off if you tell them."
Yeoju and Yeojin had already started running around and catching falling cherry blossom petals, and Jimin and Hanseong watched them before starting to catch them as well.
A little later
윤여주
We've got them all, right? Now let's make a wish..!
최여진
"Hehe. I've already thought it all out..."
All four of them held cherry blossom petals in their hands and began to make wishes.
윤여주
Please let Hanseong recover his health quickly so he can go out and play with me like last time.
김한성
When I die later, please make sure the female lead doesn't suffer too much, and let everyone live happily.
최여진
Please abolish the laws regarding social status so that I can marry Jimin and live happily.
박지민
"...I don't care what punishment I receive, so please make everyone here happy."
While everyone was making wishes, Yeojin spoke up with a smile.
최여진
"Hehe. What should we do now? Shall we go to my place and hang out while having some snacks?"
윤여주
"Let's do that! And I really hope your wish comes true..."
김한성
"I wonder... I wonder if the wish came true?"
박지민
"......."
The four of them were walking out of the forest, and inwardly praying to the sky to grant their wishes.
(A few minutes later)
???
"Um... about the person who seemed to have an illness..."
시종
Yes, please speak.
???
"I'll change your fate. Can't you?"
시종
"You must not do that..! It is the way of the world..."
???
"Tch... then I'll do whatever I want after he dies!"
시종
"Ah... yes, please do so."
The younger-looking man among the two people exuding a mysterious aura spoke.
전정국
"Haha, really? Don't go back on your word."
유채린
"What the...! Treason? You mean... Ugh!"
채린아빠
"Keep quiet... If anyone hears us, we'll be beheaded on the spot!!"
Chaerin was so surprised that she almost screamed, but her father stopped her with his hand.
채린아빠
"Don't you love Lord Hanseong? Then you can just have him..."
유채린
"......."
채린아빠
All of this is for your sake.
Chaerin's father turned around and walked away, but Chaerin alone remained standing in that spot.
유채린
"This won't do... Then you're royalty, too... That would mean death..."
Squeak-
김서현
"You're here, Oppa..? Oppa!!!!"
Seohyun was startled. When she entered the room, she found her older brother spitting up blood.
김서현
"N-what do I do... A... Assemblyman! To the Assemblyman..."
김한성
"Cough... Seo... Hyun-ah... *Cough*!"
김서현
What is it? I'll do anything for you..
At those words, Hanseong burst into tears and said.
김한성
"I... I... *sob*... I want to live... I still want to see the female lead, too..."
김서현
"Oppa..."
김한성
"I haven't even met the female lead or fallen for her yet... Why do we have to break up now... *sob*... I just want to live..."
