RED VELVET Parallel Universe
Ep 28. Dreams
(THE OTHER WORLD)
With Ju Hyun's help, Seulgi unsuspiciously found her place in the other world.
She found where she's supposed to live and stay. She was also able to utilize her counterpart's belongings.
Seulgi
What is she calling me out for this time? She wouldn't even leave me alone.
Seulgi
Though that is an advantage for me... Should I just go?
Seulgi
I should... I came all the way here anyway.
Seulgi
Now where is she? She said she's already out here
Seulgi
Oh... There you are.
Seulgi
Why does she look so lonely?
Seulgi
Hey...
Seulgi
Uhh... I'm here?
Seulgi
Why do you always have that expression on your face everytime you see me?
Ju Hyun
Oh... Sorry. I just thought I was dreaming when I saw you yesterday.
Seulgi
But we just talked over the phone...
Ju Hyun
Right... I might have spaced out.
Seulgi
Speaking of which... Do you happen to know my phone's password?
Ju Hyun
You forgot?
Seulgi
Uhh, yeah. I left it at home for my... you know... treatment. I haven't used it for so long that I forgot.
Ju Hyun
Wow... You haven't changed after all. I thought you were actually a bit different yesterday.
Seulgi
I... I see. Anyway, what'd you call me for?
Ju Hyun
You forgot about today as well?
Seulgi
Today... Is it y-your birthday?
You really lost it, didn't you? What are you even talking about... It's our annual sports festival today.
Seulgi
Annual sports what?
Ju Hyun
Yes. That's today so we better go and get changed.
Without any idea about what they're about to do, Seulgi gives in to Ju Hyun's demands to avoid suspicion.
Seulgi
What are we doing here?
Ju Hyun
What do you think? We're here to play games of course.
Ju Hyun takes a bow for her archery tournament while Seulgi stares.
Seulgi
Why would people as old as us play games?
Ju Hyun
You used to be so excited about this...
Seulgi
I... I am? Uhm... Of course! Are we starting now? Give me one of those.
She points at Ju Hyun's bow and arrows.
Ju Hyun
Why should I? You play baseball and I'm on archery...
Seulgi
B-baseball? W-what's that?
Ju Hyun
You're kidding right?
Seulgi
O-of course... Yeah... I'm kidding.
Ju Hyun
Now go. Your game is about to start.
For the first since arriving in that world, Seulgi felt nervous and helpless. She doesn't even know what she's supposed to do.
Seulgi
What am I even doing instead of living my life?
Seulgi carefully watches her opponents do their thing. Luckily, she was bound to go last.
Seulgi
Ahhh... You just have to throw the ball and that's it? I guess it isn't that hard after all...
Seulgi's name gets called and she prepares herself, feeling confident again, after watching her opponents go.
Ju Hyun on the other hand anticipates, knowing that Seulgi is quite skilled.
Ju Hyun
I've never seen her look so confident before...
Ju Hyun
Now she's too serious about it...
Ju Hyun
Is this the wold cup or something? She's being so serious about it.
Seulgi
Why would they compete with a game this easy?
Seulgi throws off the ball with utmost confidence. However, she missed so bad, receiving the lowest score of them all.
Ju Hyun
What was that? She was looking all confident... then what...
Seulgi
How dare she... Was it that funny?
Ju Hyun
Dear I'm so embarrassed for you...
Seulgi left the platform with embarrassment, she couldn't keep her head high...
Seulgi
Fine... Keep laughing at me and let's watch you fail later.
Ju Hyun
Who wouldn't laugh after seeing that? Anyways, hold my jacket for me. My game is starting.
Seulgi watches Ju Hyun play as she anticipates for failure.
But none of those anticipations happened.
Seulgi
She's actually doing pretty well...
In a blink of an eye, Ju Hyun hits bull's-eye...
She teases Seulgi who's watching from the corner.
Seulgi
Lucky...
Ju Hyun
Seulgi! I won! You saw that didn't you?!
Seulgi
Is it really necessary to shout like that?
Ju Hyun runs to Seulgi happily
Ju Hyun
I won!
Seulgi
You got lucky... I can do that too! I'm the best weapon handler from my world.
Ju Hyun
Your world? What's this? Are you starting to become like me as well?
Seulgi
What do you mean?
Ju Hyun
Lucid dreaming... Didn't I tell you about it before? I used to feel like I keep getting into this uhh... some sort of other world?
Seulgi
W-what?
Ju Hyun
Ahh, maybe I didn't tell you because it used to happen ten years ago. It stopped after a year eventually.
Seulgi
Can you elaborate on that one?
Ju Hyun
Ten years ago I used to have lucid dreaming. I used to go back in forth to another world... It felt kind of true though...
Seulgi
Other world?
Ju Hyun
Yeah... When I used to experience it, the other world looked like it was from thousands of years ago...
Ju Hyun
You know... That time when Kingdoms existed instead of the government? The place was really cool, but I felt relieved that I stopped going.
Seulgi
And... Why is that?
Ju Hyun
Cause two Kingdoms were on war... So many people were dying that time. But the funny thing is, I found my sister as well.
Ju Hyun
She turned out to be my best friend in the other world and not my sister... Funny isn't it? I was hoping to see you there also...
Ju Hyun
But I never did....
Seulgi
You said there was a war... but why'd you keep going back?
Ju Hyun
I didn't... I just found myself there somehow. Also, even though there's a war happening, I liked how they treated me there.
Ju Hyun
Everyone around me was nice.
Seulgi
By any chance... do you have another name in that world?
Ju Hyun
Another name? I'm not sure since nobody called me with a name. But they did call me with something else...
Seulgi
Like what?
Ju Hyun
Like... Your highness...
Ju Hyun
Funny isn't it? That's why I never told anyone about it... Not even you.
