The result of trust
Episode 97. Blown by the Wind
It's already been five years since Minhyuk became a thief.
Minhyuk and Seulgi lived happier than anyone else after getting married.
They loved each other so much and were each other's pillars of support.
Now Minhyuk laughed more often than before, cried occasionally, and continued to do his job as a thief.
And the season had already become winter and a cold wind was blowing.
민혁
Mom, I've been busy lately, so I have a promise I haven't been able to keep.
수영
Yes? What is it?
민혁
In ten days, it will be the anniversary of His Majesty's death.
민혁
This time, I will definitely take you there.
수영
Oh, thank you.
민혁
If you leave now, you'll be able to make it just in time.
민혁
Let's go.
슬기
Are you going to Yeongwol?
민혁
Yes. It's His Majesty's death anniversary soon... I'm sorry.
슬기
Oh, there's nothing to be sorry about.
민혁
I'll be back soon.
민혁
What should I buy on my way there and back?
민혁
If there's anything you want, just tell me.
슬기
Um...just pick any flower that's blooming on your way here.
민혁
Oh, is that so?
민혁
My wife always loved flowers.
슬기
Yes, any flower will do.
민혁
Bring me the prettiest flower that resembles your wife.
슬기
Yes haha take care on your trip.
민혁
yes.
Minhyuk put Suyeong on the horse in front of him and went on a long journey.
민혁
Even if it's a little uncomfortable, please bear with it for a little while.
수영
Oh, it's okay.
수영
I'm grateful that you even brought me here.
수영
Sir... are you still having a hard time?
민혁
yes?
수영
Are you still feeling guilty?
민혁
Well... I can't say I don't feel guilty, but...
민혁
I don't think it's dulled anymore, it's really gotten better.
수영
Is Seolgi's influence great?
민혁
I guess so.
민혁
You are the only person who opened my heart.
수영
I'm glad to see you looking so happy these days.
수영
Do you remember that time?
수영
When I received some plan from my father to find out His Majesty's weakness,
수영
It came in really scary
수영
"Do not point this sword at Mama."
수영
I did it. Haha
민혁
Ah haha
수영
I kicked him out right after that day haha
수영
I told my father I couldn't do it.
민혁
Fortunately, it seems to have worked.
수영
You're saying that..!
수영
A man with a sword is glaring at me as if he is about to kill me.
수영
Besides, I was young.
수영
Seriously... it was really scary.
민혁
Haha, I couldn't help it back then.
민혁
Your Majesty is so clueless...
수영
Of course it is haha
Run like that for a few more days
민혁
Arrived.
수영
ha..
민혁
If you go this way, there is a grave.
민혁
Because I was in a hurry, I couldn't make it with care...
Minhyuk poured himself a glass of the alcohol he had brought in advance and bowed twice.
민혁
Still...you may not know the taste of alcohol.
민혁
I used to put out plum extract
민혁
These days, they don't sell plum extract, so I had no choice but to bring alcohol.
Suyeong just looked at the grave without saying anything.
And I placed the sea sand and seashells that Minhyuk had given me in front of the grave.
The cold winter wind blew away sand and seashells, but Suyeong just watched.
수영
Take it easy... and rest.
In a way, the sea sand and seashells were memories of Seongjae and Suyeong.
The times we looked at each other, laughed, and looked forward to together...
By letting those memories fly away to the wind
Seongjae's comfortable rest...
A rest that cannot be found in this world...
Didn't bother me.
"I miss you"
"Shall I speak?"
"I miss you, Honey"
"Should I just go?"
"still"
"One more time..."
"There are crows on that mountain, and crows in the fields."
"The sun sets in Seosan"
"It's chirping."
"The river in front, the river in back,"
"The flowing water"
"Come on, let's follow."
"Even if it flows, it continues to flow."
All stories are fiction superimposed on historical facts.
I quoted my favorite poem, “The Road I Go” by poet Kim So-wol.
