RED VELVET Alam Semesta Paralel

Episode 5. Orang Asing

Irene had no choice but to let Seulgi stay. She's just too stubborn to send away somehow.

And the queen had no patience to keep up with her.

Seulgi keeps looking around, mesmerized by the beauty of the place.

But the place itself gives quite a negative vibe.

Seulgi, on the other hand, develops a feeling of familiarity.

Little did she know that it was how her life had been in the other world.

It was as gloomy as how she was feeling before she jumped through...

The place gives this feeling of loneliness that no one would want to endure.

Seulgi

Why's this place so familiar?

Seulgi

I feel like I've been here before...

Or is it the mood it serves?

That's strange...

Irene

What are you doing?

Irene startles Seulgi from behind.

Seulgi fixes her gaze on the queen's face.

Seulgi

Ju Hyun ... I- I mean---

Irene

Irene. It's not Ju Hyun but Irene.

Irene

Though you must not address me directly with my name.

Seulgi

What should I call you then?

Seulgi

Isn't it cliche to call you "your highness" or something like it?

Seulgi holds her laughter.

Irene

You dare mock me?

Seulgi

No, no... It's just that, I'm not used to this kind of setting. Can't I just call you by your name?

Irene

Stop complaining and address me properly. Go and make yourself look like you belong here. I have a lot of things to clear up with you.

Seulgi

Fine. I will. Stop looking at me like that.

One last question, why do you look so different from a while ago? I mean, is it always like this?

Irene

I already told you, so many impostors come here to kill me. I have to change my appearance every now and then.

Irene

And I'm still suspecting you....

Seulgi

I see, but... can I tell you something?

Irene

What?

Seulgi

You look prettier before...

Irene

...
