When will we be able to love?
Episode 8. Memories from 20 years ago.
widely.
Byul came out of his room and called Hyejin as he came down the stairs.
별이
Hyejin... Hyejin-
혜진
Huh? Princess!
Hyejin heard Byul's voice and went straight to where Byul was looking around for her. Then, tilting her head, she asked Byul a question.
혜진
How are you?
별이
Hey Hyejin, can I have two drinks please?
혜진
Ah.. yes,
혜진
Please prepare two cups of tea.
궁인
all right
Then he looked at the stars again and said.
혜진
Why didn't you just call me for something like this? Why did you come out yourself?
별이
No, it's just... I'm a little nervous because we're going to be together.
혜진
yes?
별이
.. no.. haha
혜진
Ah.. yes..
In response to Hyejin's question, Byul spoke in a small voice as if talking to herself, and Hyejin, who had no idea what had happened, could only look puzzled.
궁인
I brought tea. What should I do?
While they were talking, the maid brought tea, and Hyejin said to her.
혜진
Thank you for your hard work. Please take me up to the princess's room.
궁인
Yes, I understand.
At Hyejin's words, the palace maid tried to go up the stairs, but Byeol refused and spoke to the palace maid.
별이
No, I'll bring it up. Give it to me.
궁인
Uh..yes..?
별이
Come on
궁인
..Ah... I... That...
혜진
......
The palace maid looked at Hyejin with a puzzled expression as Byul reached out her hand, and when Hyejin nodded slightly, she handed the tray over to Byul.
별이
Thank you
Then I went straight up to the room where Wheein was waiting.
Clank,
widely.
별이
Wheein, I'm thirsty, drink this.
휘인
.. thank you haha
So the two sat side by side on the bed and drank tea, and in the silence that followed, Wheein spoke first.
휘인
But really... is this okay?
휘인
Is this... correct...?
별이
huh?
휘인
Princess... no...
휘인
If my sister and I meet, there won't be anything good for you.
휘인
What if my sister gets in danger because of me?
별이
.....
At Wheein's words, Byul remained silent for a moment, then got up and headed somewhere.
별이
....
Slurp..
The star stopped in front of a chest of drawers, opened it, and took something out.
The object that Byul took out was wrapped tightly in soft cloth, as if it were something precious.
별이
....grandma..
I carefully unfolded the rolled up cloth and found a ring inside.
20 years ago.
할머니
It's a star..~
별이
Yeah! Grandma!
My grandmother called me from her bed, and I just ran to her and hugged her brightly.
할머니
Yeah.. haha our pretty granddaughter, hehe
별이
Hehehe yeah~!
할머니
Hey Star, take this..
별이
Huh? Is this Moe? Grandma?
My grandmother took a ring out of the drawer next to her and put it in my hand.
할머니
This is a gift that this grandmother gave to Byeol, haha
별이
Wow! A gift??
할머니
Yes, Byeol-ah, haha. When Byeol-ah grows up, there might come a day when she can use it.
할머니
So don't lose it, baby..haha, got it?
별이
Yes!!
I was just excited and thrilled by the word gift.
할머니
Byul-ah... This old lady... has to go on a short trip...
별이
Yes..? A trip..?
할머니
Yeah, haha, our granddaughter can get along well without her grandmother, right..?
별이
Yeah... yeah...
별이
But you still have to come quickly!!
할머니
.... Yeah, Byul-ah, haha
I was sullen at the thought of not being able to see my grandmother for a while, but when she hugged me tightly and smiled, I just smiled too.
Because I thought you would come back anyway when the trip was over.
별이
Hehehe
Don't smile so brightly.
...You're not in a position to do that right now..
If only I were a little younger...
I wouldn't have laughed like that,
.. no.
I couldn't have laughed.
