RED VELVET Univers parallèle

Épisode 23. Confrontation

Wendy

My suspicion was right all along...

Seulgi

Suspicion?

Seulgi

Wait, you mean Joy? Joy will betray?

Wendy

I hope I'm wrong this time, but she's the only person I can think of.

Yeri

It's not impossible since...

Wendy and Yeri's eyes met. They're thinking of exactly the same thing.

Seulgi

Since what?

Wendy stood up immediately. She left the room together with Yeri, leaving Seulgi behind.

Seulgi

Hey! Don't leave me out of the topic! Tell me what this is about!

Seulgi

Waahh... Why am I always ignored when I'm talking. I guess this really is a parallel universe after all.

Seulgi keeps mumbling to herself while tailing Wendy and Yeri.

The three of them ended up in the palace.

Wendy

The two of you can stay here. I have to talk to Irene... This is not something I can leave for later.

Seulgi

What's this about?! Can you not even tell me?

Yeri

We'll wait here...

Seulgi

No we're not!

Wendy

Don't be so stubborn!

Upon walking into the palace, Wendy gets a glimpse of Joy from afar.

Wendy stepped out right away before Joy could see her.

Yeri

Why are you back so soon? Did the queen kick you out?

Wendy

No... We're changing plans.

Wendy turns to Seulgi.

Wendy

You said Joy is not around!

Seulgi

She wasn't here when I left to see you. Why? Is she back already?

Wendy

You... There's another way to get to your room right?

Seulgi

Yes, but why?

Wendy

I need to change into something else. I have to pretend like I never met up with you today.

Seulgi

Can you please explain the situation at least?

Yeri

Just listen for now, will you? We'll explain it to you later.

Seulgi starts to walk away

Wendy

And where are you running off to?

Seulgi

You said you need to get to my room... I'm leading the way.

Yeri

Ohh. Thought you were sulking.

The three of them headed to Seulgi's room, giving Wendy a change of appearance.

Wendy

This is good enough I guess? Yeri, you should come with me.

Yeri

Shouldn't I change as well?

Wendy

You'll look the same anyway. Just come with me.

Yeri

Okay...

Without Seulgi, the two of them sneaked out of the castle to pretend as if they just came in.

Simultaneously, Seulgi volunteers to keep Irene off the way...

...

Joy

What brings you here?

Wendy

I must talk to you this instant.

Joy

About what?

Wendy

The queen...

Joy

You want to talk about the queen? You do know you're in the palace right now, don't you?

Wendy

That's why I brought someone to look out for us...

Yeri walks into the room as planned.

Joy

By bringing someone to keep watch, I guess what we're about to discuss is not that pleasant...

Wendy

It's not pleasant. That's why I came all the way here. It would look more suspicious if I'd ask you to meet me outside, wouldn't it?

Joy

Then spill it.

Wendy

Then I'll stop beating around the bush... You, I need you to work with me.

Joy

With what?

Wendy

If you remember what I warned you with... That betrayal... I believe you know what I'm talking about.

Joy

You mean... you are to betray the queen?

Wendy

Wasn't that obvious from the start?

Joy

What do I get in return?

Wendy is flustered. She didn't expect Joy to fall for it right away.

Wendy

I didn't expect it would be this easy to convince you...

Joy

Why not? I actually believed your prediction when you said someone is going to betray the queen...

Joy

I believed you, thinking it would be me who'd betray the queen. I guess I'm not doing it alone...

Wendy

Then does that mean we're on the same page now?

Joy

You could say that... but, is she in favor of this plan as well?

Joy points at Yeri.

Wendy

Yeah. It was she who told me to ask you to work with us...

Joy

I see...

Wendy

Let me ask you one thing...

Joy

What?

Wendy

You know why I want to betray the queen. You know the grudge I'm holding against her ...

Wendy

But you... Why would you? I didn't expect you'd say yes from the start.

Joy

Shouldn't you be able to predict that?

Wendy

You know I have my limits...

Joy

Well...

Wendy

It's not because of him, is it?

Joy

It is...

Joy

It is because of him...

Wendy

You're betraying your queen just so you can be with him? That's ... not what I expected but, good for you.

Joy

You know the fact that I'm associated with the queen makes it impossible to be with him... I'm left with no choice.

Wendy

I guess we have come to an agreement then?
