We were destined to be impossible.

배주현.

Miss, please wait a moment. If you suddenly get caught doing this, you'll get scolded.

이지안.

It's a secret from Abamama, okay?

배주현.

but..

이지안.

We're friends before we're in this relationship, so it's okay to call each other by our names when we're alone. So, as friends, it's a secret.

배주현.

Seriously... Miss, you don't think about me. I can't even imagine what would happen if I got caught.

이지안.

If we just keep it a secret from each other, nothing will get out. Don't worry.

When I grew tired of waking up and repeating the same routine every day, I stepped out onto the street. My mother, who insisted I stay out of the house, said there were too many dangerous people, but the street I sneaked out into looked much more lively than I'd imagined.

이지안.

It feels different from the street that Abamama was talking about.

배주현.

Is that so? I suppose so. This must be your first time here, miss.

배주현.

This isn't the time to be looking at things like that. What if something really happens? You need to go back immediately.

이지안.

I don't think I'll be able to come out later, so I want to stay a little longer. Let's go over there, Joohyun.

I felt like a greenhouse plant, always stuck in the palace. Receiving something every day, I could say this was a personal escape. The scenery here was so new and wonderful. Thinking back, I was young at the time, so I wondered if two girls would have gone to such a place.

You probably couldn't have imagined what would happen.

이지안.

There aren't many people here and it's quiet.

As we walked, we came across a quiet, almost empty space. As we walked with Joohyun, they stood in front and behind us, their faces covered by black cloths, their monochrome hues contrasting with the generally happy-looking streetscape.

이지안.

Who are you? Get out of the way quickly.

We were small, young, and curious. If we hadn't gone there then, if we had known, as Abamama had said, that it was dangerous outside, would we have been okay? They gradually closed in on us, and we struggled in their clutches until we lost consciousness.

When they were in danger, all the ministers within the palace searched for the princess. One minister told them that the princess, whom the king loved and cherished most, had disappeared, and they threatened to behead her if they could not find her. The ministers searched and searched everything, but

They were never found outside the palace.

About seven years had passed since the princess was found. Everyone had different stories about when and why she disappeared, but no matter how many places she searched, she was nowhere to be found.

설.

Sister Ji-an, my father told me to go out and buy these.

지안.

Really? I'll be out now, so you can be home alone, right?

Having lost her memory of what had happened, she lived for seven years under the name Seol. Juhyun's name, strangely enough, was Ji-an. Perhaps they lived deep in the forest, and no one knew about their home. After the conversation ended and Seol left, Ji-an spoke.

지안.

Miss, you can hate me.

지안.

However, now that seven years have passed, no one will be able to recognize her by her appearance and no one will be able to think of her as a young lady who has lost her memory.

지안.

Don't worry, I'll take your place now.
