When his arm that was wrapped around her waist loosened, her body swayed for a moment.
“If you’ve given your heart to Kim Heegyeom, tidy things up and come back. I don’t want a woman with feelings for another man.”
He casually spat out as if nothing had happened.
“As for you, Dae-gun… No, it’s not like that.”
She wanted to ask if he could tidy up his feelings, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
She wanted to ask if he could tidy up his feelings for Eunjoo, above all.
“It seems the habit of stopping in the middle of a sentence and being unable to continue talking remains.”
“…”
Their conversation was the first since their first meeting until today.
How did he know about her habit?
As she was lost in thought, a low and cold voice sounded above her head.
“I know you dislike me.”
He approached one step closer.
“Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to have wandering thoughts in front of people? Also, stop running away just by making eye contact, especially since I won’t devour you.”
His persistent gaze and the warning tone made her body tremble.
As he approached, Eunseol stepped back.
“A woman who rejects me with her whole body, this is the first time. Even if you call me lecherous, don’t worry, I won’t forcibly embrace someone who dislikes me.”
As she tried to explain, Eunjoo called Dae-gun from the entrance of the annex.
Eunjoo, dressed in glamorous attire that couldn’t be compared to hers, approached with a smile on her face.
“I didn’t know you were here. Let’s go inside. I’ve prepared a drinking table.”
“…Sure.”
Turning his gaze away from her, Dae-gun walked side by side with Eunjoo toward the annex.
Seeing him pass by as if nothing had happened, her heart ached.
Before leaving the annex, Eunjoo turned her head, and a cold smirk played on her lips.
It was as if Dae-gun was saying, “He is my man.”
Alone, Eunseol weakly sat down on the main porch.
Absently shaking her head, she found plum blossom petals placed on the collar of her robe and carefully placed them on her palm.
Remembering the words Dae-gun said as he blew away the petals – “Do not forget that you are my woman.”
Late at night, Eunseol sat alone in a room illuminated by candlelight and carefully unfolded a letter on the desk.
When she saw the white plum blossom petal on the letter, memories of the day with Dae-gun resurfaced, and her face heated up again.
“It’s okay. You already knew about the rumors surrounding Dae-gun. I never had thoughts of wishing for Dae-gun’s heart. I can endure anything as long as I can leave this place.”
She comforted herself with self-talk, staring into the void. She must not think about anything.
Just not being sold to an old husband was already a stroke of luck.
Even if it was a marriage to escape from this hell-like place, Eunseol considered it a grateful marriage.
She already knew that Dae-gun would never show her affection.
Even if he is truly a man as rumored, even if he gives me contempt for my disliking heart, enduring such disgrace was the right thing to do.
“It’s me. I’ll come in.”
Her thoughts were interrupted by Eunjoo’s voice calling from outside.
Without seeking permission, Eunjoo entered abruptly, glanced around the room, and took a seat.
Eunseol placed the petal that was on Yeongyeom into a bookmark and put it in a drawer.
“You’re not a child… picking up petals and putting them in a book to dry?”
“It’s none of your concern. What brings you here at this hour?”
There must be a reason for her to come without any particular reason.
Eunjoo, who usually never treated Eunseol as a sister, only came on the days when Eunseol was beaten to the point of being battered by her mother.
Each time, the words she spat out with a smile were as malicious as a snake.
Today, a sigh escaped her lips, already anticipating what hurtful words she might say.
“We don’t have many days left to be together like this. I came to comfort you and give you some advice.”
“I don’t want to hear whatever you want to say. So…”
“Don’t whine, just listen. Do you think I came here because I wanted to? It’s not about you; it’s about me. Dae-gun wanted me.”
She knew very well that the person Dae-gun wanted was not her but Eunjoo. He didn’t need to say it; his actions spoke louder.
“So what?”
“So what? You can never become Dae-gun’s wife forever.”
“What do you mean…”
“Do you think you can become an ordinary couple? Get a grip on reality. You can never have Dae-gun’s heart for a lifetime. You know why? Because I’ll make sure of it.”
“If you wanted to marry Dae-gun from the beginning, it could have been you. He wants someone else… you.”
She uttered words she never wanted to say out loud.
Even when she knew that Dae-gun’s heart belonged to Eunjoo, it didn’t hurt as much as admitting this fact with her own mouth.
“Am I crazy? Marrying a guy like that who doesn’t raise a finger for a woman. Even if he becomes the next king, I could endure that bit. But that’s not it. I just want to enjoy Dae-gun’s frustration with me.”
“…”
