[Short Story] My dear heroine,
To the most beautiful flower.


Around the time when the witch hunt was in full swing

I am,


문여주
The sea is so pretty..


김석진
right?


문여주
Yeah! See you next time.


김석진
okay.

I remember it clearly.

I remember clearly.

You, who said you would come again, with a pretty and bright smile.

The female protagonist is a witch.

She's just a witch in name only, but she only has a little bit of magic power.

For example, tidying up the blankets or cooling down the room for a while.

Only really trivial things could be used.

Those insignificant things didn't matter to them.

I just thought of the one reason why the female protagonist was a 'witch'.

Just that one.


문여주
Hwaaam...I'm sleepy...


김석진
Are you really sleepy? Let's go and get some sleep.


문여주
Gureung!

마녀 사냥꾼 1
She's a witch!

사람들
What? (Mumbling)

사람들
A witch? A witch lives in our town?


김석진
...!

마녀 사냥꾼 2
Catch that bitch!

At the man's words, the other men started running to catch the female protagonist.

I tried to run away as fast as I could with the heroine,

I was one step too late.

마녀 사냥꾼 3
This dirty witch bitch...! Where have you been wandering?

마녀 사냥꾼 1
Let's kill him right here and now. Otherwise, something bad might happen.

마녀 사냥꾼 3
Yeah, I guess so.

마녀 사냥꾼 2
Follow me!

A man grabbed the female protagonist's arm and began to forcefully take her away.

The female protagonist is weak and will never be able to defeat that man.


김석진
no...!

마녀 사냥꾼 2
Can't let go?!


김석진
Don't...let go...


문여주
Seo... Seokjin...


문여주
I'm okay...you can let go.


김석진
No... I can't let you go even if I die...


문여주
are you okay.

The heroine pushed my hand away.

Ah- that won't work.

no.

no.

If the heroine goes into that hot fire, she will definitely die.

So no.

I reached out to grab the heroine, but I couldn't reach her.


김석진
Heroine!!!!!!!!

As I watched the heroine burn in the fire, I despaired.

If I were strong, I could have saved the heroine...

If only I had just a little bit more strength...

I wouldn't have hurt the heroine like this...

The feeling of dying in that raging fire, that feeling is hard to put into words.

It's hard to put into words how I feel when I look at such a heroine.

It's just too painful.


김석진
Ugh... no...


김석진
Moon Yeo-ju...sob...


김석진
no..


문여주
Seokjin-ah.


문여주
Don't cry... okay?

The female protagonist's voice was heard faintly.

I told you not to cry.

Showing that pretty smile back then...

But this was different.

Unlike last time, he was shedding tears.


김석진
Sob...sob...ugh...ugh...


김석진
Lady...


문여주
three...


문여주
Jinah...


문여주
love you.

Tuuk-

Dead.

The female protagonist's head fell.

He was charred black and his heart stopped beating.

The heroine, with a sad smile,


김석진
No...don't...! Don't...do that...heroine...


김석진
Ugh...don't do that...

He ran to the dead heroine, hugged her, and shed tears.

The heroine was charred and burned.

How much pain must this fragile child have suffered in that hot fire.

How... painful it must have been.

It must have been difficult for the female protagonist to handle.

I won't be able to see Yeoju's pretty smile anymore.

Seokjin-ah, I won't be able to see you running towards me.

But to me you,

It's a beautiful flower.
