Wind, you started it first. (Short story)
Episode 9



유이_김태형
I...don't want to make a successor with you...!!!


소피_여주경
Wh..what?


유이_김태형
...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...


여주경
...Hey, if you told me why, did you think I'd just accept it?


여주경
Whatever the reason, you abandoned me and that will never change.


여주경
Making excuses like that is just self-rationalization.


여주경
And it looks scary lol


유이_김태형
....

Yui kept kneeling and saying sorry over and over again.


유이_김태형
I...sob...sorry...sob..

Finally, tears started flowing from Yui's eyes.


소피_여주경
!!!!....

The sofa, who saw her crying, was a little shaken, but regained his senses.


여주경
....I can't accept it even if you cry like this...


여주경
No matter how much you cried and screamed, when I was having a hard time and was in heartbreaking pain, it wasn't you, it was Yoongi.


캇_민윤기
Ju-kyung, just hold on for a bit


소피_여주경
....ha..


소피_여주경
From now on, let's not meet unless it's official.


유이_김태형
.....

And so the night of the last banquet and ball deepened.

The next morning...

plodding plodding _


캇_민윤기
Sophie!!

Tadadadak _


소피_여주경
Oh... Ah, it was Yoongi oppa.


캇_민윤기
Joo Kyung-ah, what happened to breakfast? Why did it come out so quickly?


소피_여주경
Well... I just don't really want to eat it...


캇_민윤기
Hey, but people still have to eat. Wait, I'll bring some fruit...!!

Tadadadak


소피_여주경
Oh..brother!!

Sophie called out loudly, but Kat had already gone far away with the fruit.


소피_여주경
Oh my...it's okay....ㅎ

A few minutes later...

Tadadadak _!


캇_민윤기
Joo Kyung-ah!!

He runs cheerfully from afar with some fruits and a mat.


소피_여주경
Haha don't run, you'll get hurt..

Cheolpuduk _

My brother, who is like a child, gets hurt before I can even finish nagging him not to get hurt.

plodding


소피_여주경
Hahaha wake up quickly


캇_민윤기
Ouch... I'm going to die...


소피_여주경
ㅋㅋㅋ I'm going to go to the Dojiri store and get some ointment.


캇_민윤기
It's okay... haha thank you..!!


소피_여주경
Yeah lol

plodding

Reception room _

Rummaging around _


소피_여주경
Hmm...where is it?

Sophie searches the drawer in the waiting room for a bandage and ointment for her injured Kat.

Swish


유이_김태형
What are you looking for?


소피_여주경
....Band-Aid and Ointment Emperor


유이_김태형
!! Are you hurt?!

Yui, thinking that the injured person was Sophie, gets excited and examines every nook and cranny of Sophie's body.

Sophie speaks coldly to Yui


소피_여주경
It's not me, it's Kat


유이_김태형
....Okay, go find it quickly


소피_여주경
I'm looking for

Yui climbs onto the cot as if she's lost energy, and spins her long, uneven body in the air as she speaks.


유이_김태형
....Why do you hate me?


소피_여주경
Haven't you been pushing until now?


소피_여주경
I hate that person because he abandoned me and never gave me any warmth.


유이_김태형
I find it sexy to be pushed so hard


소피_여주경
I don't need to know that.

Percussion _!

Yui, unable to hide her excitement at Sophie's provocative words, laid Sophie down on the cot she was sitting on and climbed on top of her.


소피_여주경
Ugh..!!


유이_김태형
I...I just find everything you say so lovely.


소피_여주경
....I have now made up my mind that I will not love the Emperor.


소피_여주경
Please step aside


유이_김태형
....

Yui blushes as if she's embarrassed and carefully moves away from Sophie.


소피_여주경
....I found a bandage and ointment, so I'm off.


유이_김태형
...okay

Knock knock knock _

As the sound of Sophie's shoes faded away, Yui's heart began to ache.


유이_김태형
Haa... What should I do? Why did I lose my eyes to a girl like Dirne while leaving such a delicate woman behind?

As expected, I regret the big deal

People regret the past every day.

It could be regret about a choice made yesterday, or it could be regret about a choice made in the distant past.

The important thing here is not that you made a choice,

What matters is how you overcome that regret.

Actions that numb regret, ask questions, and treat it indifferently

A heart that no longer feels like regret

How to overcome regret

Of these three, we choose one and overcome regret.

But if the regret or the mistake is too big, you may not be able to overcome it and may give up or even have extreme thoughts.

I'm curious to see how Yui will overcome her regrets.
