What Should I Do, Miss? EP. 19


Knock knock


전정국
? Is there anyone coming at this hour?


전정국
Come in.

Squeak-


김석진
Jungkook!


전정국
Oh, is that you?


전정국
Why didn't you come here to rest more? I was planning to go out and play after work today.


김석진
There's something Jungkook needs to do.


전정국
What? Do you need anything, bro?

Seokjin smiled faintly.

Then he spoke in a low voice as if telling a secret.


김석진
Can you finish your work later and come to my room for a bit?


전정국
Okay! Then I'll just finish this and go!


김석진
Okay, I'll go first, Jungkook.


전정국
Yeah, I'll go quickly!

Jungkook showed a bright, innocent smile.

A few dozen minutes later.


전정국
I'm here!


김석진
Did you finish everything you were doing?


전정국
I left a little bit...but it doesn't matter.

Actually, it didn't matter.

There was a mountain of work to do today.

If I play now, I might have to stay up all night working, but it was okay.


김석진
....Jungkook, you said that, if you could, you would apologize to everyone.

I wanted to repay Seokjin hyung.

I wanted to give my brother what he wanted.


전정국
That's right. But... we couldn't meet.

I couldn't remember them all, there were just too many of them.


김석진
One of the slaves you sold came to me.


김석진
I'm really scared of you and I'm having a hard time.


김석진
......Maybe I need your word.

Seokjin was quite critical of the caste system.

It is true that my perception changed a little because of my brother.

So I quit my job underground.


김석진
I wish you would apologize.

But my brother and I were both privileged and had no choice.

The caste system was something that adults had been forcing on us since we were young.

We had something deeply embedded in our bones.

Both my brother and I, who criticized the caste system, had our flaws.

To my brother, it was just a bystander's view of what Yoon Ki-hyung was doing.

여주하
......


김석진
Do you remember?


전정국
.....I don't remember.


김석진
Jeongguk, apologize.


전정국
........

Step by step, step by step, step by step


전정국
....no, I do not want.

Kwaang-

For me, it was the least I could do as an emperor.
