Universo parallelo di VELLUTO ROSSO

Episodio 15. Pensieri profondi

Waiting for the queen to come back made the hour boring for Seulgi, she started to talk to herself.

Seulgi

What's wrong with my hair?

Seulgi

I worked so hard to look blond... It hasn't been that long, but it's back to being black again.

Seulgi

I mean, how is that even possible?

Seulgi

Even my wound yesterday disappeared just like that.

Seulgi

I felt pain ... but how come it didn't even leave a scar?

Seulgi

Or... maybe --I cannot experience physical changes while I'm here?

Seulgi

But, why? And why did I even end up here in the first place?

Seulgi

Shouldn't I know the reason at least?

Seulgi

God this is so frustrating...

Seulgi starts to hear footsteps. She knew it was Irene coming from behind.

You're back already? That was fast...

The queen didn't bother answering. However, she noticed how Seulgi's hair turned black again. She just stared at her.

Seulgi

Ahh, my hair? I... I don't know how it happened as well. But, why are you back so fast?

Still, the queen stayed silent, drowning in her own thoughts.

Why? Didn't things work out well?

Seulgi thought that the queen met with a lover from the start...

Did you break up? Why are you so silent?

Irene walked past Seulgi. She was annoyed by the fact that Seulgi actually thinks she's romantically acquainted with someone.

Seulgi

Aaaand, she just walked past me... I'm fine...

Joy came running inside.

Joy

Where is she?

She went inside. After ignoring me of course.

Seulgi

But, is she okay? She seemed so down today? Did they break up?

Joy

Are you usually this slow? I mean, did you actually believe that?

Seulgi

So... it's not a lover? Ohh.

Joy

What a clueless creature.

Joy went ahead and followed the queen to her room.

Left alone, Seulgi couldn't help but smile at her own stupidity.

Seulgi

A lover? Hah! Even I thought that was kind of impossible.

Seulgi

Why am I so happy with this thought anyway? I should be empathizing with her right now.
