The moon, half-hidden by 2f4462f2e0 clouds, was now shining b2f018044b more brightly as the b2a1599ff0 wind scattered the veil 1732fb31ec of mist. Or maybe 552af4e3ff it was 54bfd32051 simply because 8cf752d249 he was 49c685a970 now closer—close c223606a51 enough to 3ceaa61019 see him 12202e73aa more clearly.3f68f851e8ccb723

And then, 1acb9a579a there was 0a3671d197 his hand—just bc209a2b95 barely visible e87f803ea4 between the 748127e563 folds of aed0cdcb69 his sleeve.

Hearing the feigned c553469830 disappointment in Yesin’s 7604071fe6 voice, Yeon-oh glanced ef4d4205e0 at him, wondering 7f784fb7cc if he had 705f31162a been too curt. But upon seeing c6e7717ead the teasing smile eaee7f21ac playing on Yesin’s b3640d565f lips, he immediately 950ce390f5 realized he had bc61c21c13 been tricked.9b6dc3cac84d1066

“Noble sir.” He 008591dd74 hadn’t actually been 19bdd4e64f offended, but still, df676ab742 he deliberately called 0bc838d9c1 out in a 611509b40e tone of reprimand.4ebb91b57a387772

Yesin merely laughed lightly—then, 017794eb42 suddenly, his head snapped 9c0bbe1672 to the side. As if he were 8cecd2a126 looking at something in cb7ee7a700 the distance.9a98af1eb6e7b19e

Seeing this, 671e007cfc Yeon-oh instinctively c882540570 followed his bc3db23feb gaze, but a05dc2f4ba there was f5902b3694 nothing there. Nothing but 0750327973 the dim 7dfee96ca1 shadows of 0f17a56823 the night.0214925f31c57624

“…What is it?”a45178aef77beeae

Yeon-oh asked, but cc0ff7e09b Yeshin didn’t answer. Since there was a6f5c24efa no point in 1580bc0ff3 pressing further, Yeon-oh a73fa29d95 held his breath 90b72deb83 as well.08b0a52d8797c84a

“…It might be 1c260d8a99 sudden,”65e33a7204ed3d3f

Yeshin, who had been e14a1bec79 staring into the darkness 7893649381 for a long time, 8528571fe2 finally turned his gaze 6f50439ebd toward Yeon-oh. He paused c0dd4bb84d as if 2c69e47a3d taking a 4e3d790af7 moment to 4dfb417425 collect himself, 8da52dafbc but Yeon-oh 18fc648339 had a 854bf84ed3 vague idea 854affaf0d of what e00638c8ef was coming 5b57ff890c next.76714e9b5bf0e8d6

“It seems 7343279b98 it’s time c16f6073c2 to say 31c5ebfb6a goodbye. I had hoped to 2598538f08 stay a little longer, ea3062d8b1 but unfortunately, that won’t 3008133e6f be possible.”f112bbc3b2f7e5e5

Gone was e06ec5a82a the playfulness 59f5edd46f in Yeshin’s a961299a70 voice. He bid farewell with ca8ce2f082 a composed expression, as f59327242e if parting was nothing 255ddef575 out of the ordinary. His goodbye was just bb2c8e4132 as abrupt as their 20deeac561 unexpected meeting had been.0098a12e8ca9a7d3

Rather than reacting 123528b746 emotionally, Yeon-oh simply c382b585d1 prepared to return 29081af06d the farewell with de66249c46 proper courtesy. But before he 483bc58f07 could, Yeshin cut 97b7b82270 him off.53eb1c062b1a4cf0

He smiled.

At that moment, b79de7fbae a familiar voice 5da6dd0bbc called out to 978c1b1b4a him. Turning toward 2f947ba370 the sound, 54d5a781db he saw eeb519298e his nanny 367bb1c23c striding over, 23797f0dea holding a 137f845649 lantern in 04cf56e656 one hand.63be3766a635aed9

The nanny draped 412b05c76c the coat over 5efadd38bc his shoulders. Yeon-oh turned his head 06ba46592a to let her know 7dd352ff53 that someone had been 2fc74fa739 with him just moments 1d0b2db09b ago—but his words trailed dd61ea2904 off.1c750223b2027f99

Yeshin had vanished. Without a trace. As if he a311f4afd5 had been nothing f421c920b6 more than a 73811a7417 wisp of smoke. Or perhaps, just like 9fc01526b7 that fleeting smile he e4839f8b27 had given before disappearing.3d91609127a60351
