The result of trust
Episode 98. Camellia
민혁
Would you like to stay here today?
수영
is it so.
When I entered the house where Minhyuk and Seongjae had lived in exile,
The image of Seongjae dying in the yard spread out before him overlapped with Minhyuk's eyes.
And Minhyuk showed empty eyes for the first time since his marriage.
수영
What... Sir Musa?
민혁
Ah. Yes.
민혁
Come in.
Villager 1: Huh? Isn't that the warrior from back then?
Villager 2: Is that so?
Villager 3: Why are you here again?
Villager 1: I don't know...
Villager 2: Hey! Long time no see!
민혁
...Yes. It's been a while.
Villager 3: Why did you come back here?
Villager 3: Surely it's not another exile?
민혁
Yes. No.
민혁
I'm just thinking of staying for a day.
Villager 1: Are you here because of the grave?
민혁
Ah..yes.
민혁
Because today is the due date.
Villager 2: Your loyalty is truly remarkable...
Villager 2: Why don't you stop by and grab some food?
민혁
Do you want to go?
수영
(Nod
The villagers served food to Minhyuk and Suyeong.
민혁
thank you
수영
Thank you...
Villager 2: What do you do?
수영
Oh...me?
수영
Just... a slave.
Villager 3: A government slave?
Villager 3: Why did you bring a government slave?
민혁
This is the wife of the exile who passed away here.
Villager 1: Ah...
지민
Long time no see.
민혁
Yes, it's been a while.
지민
Who is the person next to him...
민혁
She is the wife of the exile who came before.
수영
Now I'm just a slave.
지민
is it so?
지민
Which area?
수영
It's Chungnam.
민혁
Ah.. I became the governor of South Chungcheong Province
지민
I understand that there are no government slaves in South Chungcheong Province...
민혁
...
In fact, Minhyuk was paying for her living expenses with his own money while she was swimming.
지민
I won't report you, so how about you hand that slave over to me?
민혁
...
수영
I'll go.
민혁
yes?
수영
Haven't you been paying for your living expenses with your own money until now?
수영
If you stay here, you will be fine because you will also receive separate living expenses for government workers.
수영
And...the grave is here too.
수영
I'll be here.
In the end, Minhyuk went back alone.
민혁
'You're a good person...it'll be okay.'
민혁
'You were always so kind to me when I was away.'
민혁
'Oh, right, flowers!'
Minhyuk stopped talking and looked around.
The weather was already winter, so all the flowers had fallen.
민혁
Ha...what should I do...
At that time, there was only one flower blooming among the bushes.
The flower was the only one that bloomed on the tree, and it withstood the winds with great strength.
민혁
Found it.
민혁
It's a camellia flower.
민혁
Haha, you look like your wife.
Minhyuk carefully plucked a few branches with flowers in bloom.
A bright smile spread across Minhyuk's face at the thought of giving it to Seolgi.
