레드벨벳 평행 우주

제26화. 결과

Saeron left without answering any of Seulgi's questions.

She escaped before the palace guards arrived.

Seulgi

How could she leave after telling me that... Now I can't even get myself to sleep last night.

Yeri

We can ask Joy about it. She still believes we're on her side.

Wendy

No, that won't do. She'd be suspicious if we mention something about Seulgi's counterpart.

Seulgi

What do we do then? I can't even stay calm.

Wendy

I think I know what to do.

Yeri

Don't tell me you're doing it again

Wendy

I'll be fine. I have enough lead to see this through.

Seulgi

Do what?

Wendy

My job...

Yeri

Let's trust her on this one. It's the only way to find out...

Seulgi

Fine. So what do we need to do?

Wendy

Maybe keep our mouths shut...

Seulgi

Got it.

Seulgi

Okay, so what's next?

Yeri

She just asked you to keep your mouth shut.

Wendy

Things are more complicated than I thought...

Seulgi

What do you mean?

Yeri

Does her counterpart really exist?

Wendy

Yes...

Wendy

And I believe it'll be hard for her to go back to her own world.

Seulgi

Can you explain that further?

Wendy

You and your counterpart... just like everybody else, can't be in the same world at the same time.

Wendy

So I'm sure that your counterpart is in your world right now. She was there since the day you came to this world.

Seulgi

What?! Is that because of me then? Did that happen because I tried to kill myself?

Seulgi

Then do I have to die here to put things back to normal again?

Wendy

That's what I thought too. But as I've said, things are more complicated.

Wendy

It wasn't you who came here... It was your counterpart who went there.

Wendy

You were supposed to die... But the exact moment you jumped into the water, your counterpart came into your world.

Seulgi

W-hat? Why? I mean... How did she even do that then?

Wendy

That's what I'm not sure of...

Yeri

But at least we know why.

Wendy

Yes. Saeron said her brother sent your counterpart in the other world to kill the queen. That's our problem for now...

Seulgi

I don't get it. How would she kill the queen in---

Seulgi starts to get an idea of what's happening.

Yeri

It's the law of a parallel universe...

Wendy

When your counterpart dies... you'll also die. That is to maintain balance in both universe.

Wendy

I think that's their strategy...

Yeri

To kill the queen's counterpart... so the queen dies in this world. Since they can't kill the queen easily here.

Seulgi

K-kill Ju Hyun? N-no... That... that can't happen!

Seulgi

Tell me... tell me what I have to do to stop this!

Seulgi

I can go back to my world if I have to. I will die if I have to... Just... just make this stop...

Yeri

How can you talk about death like it's nothing?

Wendy

You can't die here remember? You said it yourself.

Seulgi

Then, maybe you can find another way so I can go back to my world...

Irene

Go back? You're leaving?

Seulgi

Irene...
