RED VELVET平行宇宙

Byul? I guess that's my sister's name in this world...

I should have asked asked Ju Hyun earlier. 

Seulgi hesitates because of the fact that she can't directly ask Ju Hyun as if she lost her memories.

I should go. I'm sure I'll find a way somehow.

After knocking a few times, the door opens, but it wasn't Ju Hyun who stood before Seulgi. 

It was Ju Hyun's sister who welcomed her.

W-who are you? You're somehow familiar to me...

Woaah! You were gone for merely a month and you're acting like a total stranger! How dare you...

Seulgi got back to her senses and remembered what Ju Hyun said before.

Oh dear. My sister was right. You totally lost it. 

Whatever. Just come inside. It's getting cold in here. 

You're here? Wow. I should give your psychiatrist a big bow. For the first time in years, you actually came to see me at this hour. 

Yes. You never came here at night before. Anyway, why'd you come? 

I... I can't seem to fall asleep so I thought I should hang out with you.

Ooh. Hang out? You're really quite different these days. But it's on the brighter side so... 

Her voice trembles as she doesn't really know what a movie is. 

Let me join... I haven't watched anything lately. Besides, it's been a month since I've seen Seulgi.

Halfway through the movie, Seulgi finds a chance to ask Ju Hyun about Byul naturally.

This is getting a bit boring don't you think? How about we play a game? 

It's not actually a game, but more like a favor.

Sounds easy enough. So, what's the question? 

If not the sole reason... Then maybe at least most of it.

Can you do me another favor and tell me how it all started then? I really want to see how much I've recovered.

Aren't you being harsh to my sister? Why would you ask her about that? It's not like it's easy for her to tell you about that.

What do you mean? Why would be it be so hard for her to tell me about what happened? 

Stop hurting my sister's feelings and ask me about what you want to know instead. I'll answer all your questions.

Then Seung Wan... can you tell me about what happened from the start then? 

Byul was your... closest friend? I guess. You two were inseparable.  Your bond was stronger than those who are siblings in real life.

Let's just say I was always in second place.

Not until an incident happened in the university and ruined your friendship...  One day  you went to the rooftop waiting for Ju Hyun...

But my sister wasn't able to meet you because she had to take me home. I wasn't feeling well that day you see.

Don't make it sound like it's your fault. 

I can't help it. It's practically my fault. Only if I didn't insist on attending classes that day. 

Why? What happened that day? --I... I mean, my memory is starting to f-fade? 

You said you saw Byul's brother there instead. And that he was there with his girlfriend, arguing...

As they argued, you said you saw him push his girlfriend accidentally... That resulted to his girlfriend's serious injury as she fell.

You can stop there. Ill tell her myself. 

You witnessed how things happened, and that day, it was you who reported it right away. Because of that... she was able to live.

You did the right thing. You told Byul about what you saw... But her brother denied it, saying her girlfriend tried to commit suicide. 

Byul... didn't believe you. She said what you're saying was absurd. 

The next day, the story suddenly changed and a rumour was spread throughout the university. They said it was you who pushed the victim...

Byul did it, am I right? She spread those rumours?

Yes. And since the victim kept her silence... my sister tried to prove that Byul was spreading nonsense. 

Nobody believed in you. Not even me from the start... but my sister did. Still... You pushed her away.

You said you know that I wouldn't have believed you too if we didn't plan to meet there. You said that's the only reason I believed you.

Look... I'm not saying that what happened was good. But if I'm given a chance to go back... I wouldn't change a thing.

I'm satisfied with what I have now. I mean... It's great that I've lost ties with useless people. And now you won't be placed second.

I do. But are you sure you can afford to look at it?

I guess being evil comes parallel as well...
