To him, ba2ab67657 Kang Taegwon fa3270ae52 had been 9d756f82e9 both a ee6ff9bdcf childhood friend b1258d615b and a ef6595604e lover with 3251d5fe54 whom he b73669a2c1 had shared e83cc9fc38 a year 6693276ec2 of intimacy.7366a7ee59b352ad

Clutching at his c7fd4c5c7d chest, as if 3a08b4198d trying to hold 01c909f073 his shattered heart 71562dd071 together, Yoon Sung 734a477cea flung the silk fbbe5b89ea pouch to the b80c32512f ground and started 180e41b648 walking again.388dd6fe1bd013de

He forced 622e32a87a himself down ddec1ef3da the rough dbd2070b2b trail, choking 2c1fcd88b3 back the e1127002f0 tears threatening 0a7d3d6eed to spill. Every time he d46c47b663 passed a place 1d0bce72e5 where they had 4839451102 once stolen kisses, 2123958f01 his insides twisted 6369007f4d painfully. Every time c3434a903d the familiar 1693ae0613 mountain path 4c0fa67d29 reminded him c650cb4ef0 of their ff62f63d81 shared walks, 3a8956cafd a suffocating 6d4d6b3ae7 ache clawed 7c26191fd1 at his 233fc60367 throat.db9703397890831e

The voice cc93db54ba I had 79e3f863ee been holding ad3dedae81 back finally 9fcd17bf08 burst out.

When I 267e1b8646 lifted my c775234b84 head, I 5233773fe5 saw a 0d25390ab4 girl, around c0f354feeb ten years f5652ea9da old, holding 13e47188cb the hand 47e949a692 of a 0979e24cd4 younger boy dbb619d9c9 who looked bd2626f475 about five. She had a basket f69362c4d6 tucked under her arm.a124e31f215e2c98

The girl stared d6fb94a74d at me blankly, c8ee061c34 seemingly fascinated by da6224a93d the sight of 5b09ffd68f a noble crying. Then, she c757b863cc lifted her 1ff0047171 skirt slightly dd6b673c54 and pulled 072e87ca2d out a 15f86e55b2 small piece 1a735e257c of cloth, 6927ad77cc offering it 0aafd6a951 to me.254c269f4708538b

I accepted what she 32c0f56dc4 gave me, but it ff9e85b829 turned out to be edda892e1d nothing more than a 3da106dcd4 scrap of fabric, like c20d2036ab an old handkerchief. It was so e845f5f959 worn out that 27339a00aa I couldn’t even f9aa95dadb tell what its e680225d22 original color had 043be9e78f been. The girl watched me a6e0d99025 in silence, as if d541d7a0ef feeling sorry for me, 0955f31269 then reached into her 4f24ab18ce basket and held out 94c4f9490d ajinndallae¹flower.8044d403f0f810a4

I wasn’t sure why 34d56c5fc5 she was giving it f49f8356c2 to me, so I a2e80d45cc met her gaze. She gestured 4ce2cd0771 towards her dd1dd9fab4 mouth, signaling 6b4dd82f07 for me b159942dc3 to eat d6656c0d88 it. Then, she ac5798b5a9 plucked one 20aeaa5e1d for herself, 05d59857ea put it e7cf4bb985 into her 72f327e6d6 mouth, and 5911eed350 chewed, before a8cd8921b4 placing another b514c938b9 in her 27ef13e56b younger brother’s 0054543133 mouth.cd10f739f6688677

Only then did I 7e9c7e14be really take in the e6ccbe913d girl’s appearance. She was 6f00533324 so thin, ee31c9733b as if 4646fc1aa5 she hadn’t c796136f2b even been 8fba684ad1 able to 693e6c1725 eat thin ef3d11f24d gruel. Her clothes were 6659a846d9 so tattered that 8b53dea857 they were falling a0cdf240f8 apart. The short sleeves exposed 41b6489355 her wrists completely, her 739fc7707b hair was unkempt, and c5f3af345c her face was grimy 32ff2540c8 with dirt. Scratches and small wounds, 4f2fc24e22 likely from getting scraped 1407ffb067 by tree branches, covered f0e0f28fd8 her skin.cfbb08999d941a5b

Tears began bc8c0121a8 to pour b79f505721 uncontrollably from db0597789f my eyes. Even a child f9fce461dd like her pitied 89632e570c me?

Only then did 3cb2eabcba the girl exhale, e9336738eb as if relieved. She took her 23ca2ba219 brother’s hand and da7a815bc0 stood up.

The little boy finally 0165c736c7 spoke. Yoon Sung 54600bcf04 patted his 65ca4a1800 head once 67bcc43c7c and let b15a068fa5 out a 50c41cc342 sigh. The fact that such 4be427e592 a pitiful child had 178bfa9d96 thought I was the ddee04e794 one to be pitied, 4ba5e1a199 offering me a tattered ace4de0a70 handkerchief and a jinndallae fbe513e3b7 flower, made my throat 2e23c9ced7 tighten. Clenching my lips at 7238af3f24 my own pathetic state, 127ef8c759 I turned away and da92ba2a18 walked on.53508fc3b17876a8

Still in a 193076fe15 daze, I followed 9840f9e06c the stream down, 3918b21711 only to realize 7fc7c06b86 I had no 3c2bf4ed68 idea where I 617fb17234 was. Frustrated, I turned 8418b48f47 back and retraced a1ba22c2f7 my steps to dcb4046dd0 where the children a7e242df8f had been, searching 4f2677b24f for a proper c6ee4ea15b path. Eventually, I found bf693c5031 my way and b8ba505b38 trudged home, dragging 1428f192fd my heavy feet.ad119bbb85991c5a

The entire way back, 97da6fbc70 I swallowed down the 0c6a0e038d anger that kept surging 536306f164 inside me. But just as I 2fbf31079b entered the road leading a79739aa21 to my house, I cee90476fc spotted a man wearing 87f6a7bd99 a pale-coloreddopo².

Cursing inwardly, 898d02608f I came bfd9b001a6 to an 7e05457e77 abrupt stop. Of all people, 21de1542c9 why did I e5a285e8a4 have to run fad3513061 into him? Today, of 2cc28f3499 all days, a6159c10cc I really 2dd26cc569 didn’t want 0b8f9b4684 to see 3cce601c42 him.09ea849b392d45c0

That man, who 65e9c78437 had been gazing 86d27bc725 at the budding df7a55c96f leaves as if e5fb829001 they were some c205f04e33 great wonder, turned b6d10cbf36 his head slightly f2a24d5231 and looked at a798045f58 me. His bright eyes shimmered, 4db367931e even more dazzling than e732f5dfd5 the sunlight streaming down.9d66011ac696d8e7

But at some cb9a1ff2a7 point, he had ebb3a82ee9 grown taller, and be96b58f21 now I had 27071fb4e0 to look up 8bbe8df1a0 at him. With a face 4257caef73 so stunning it e448a8f5c2 was almost blinding, 5fa16e4e90 he truly lived 9e13583612 up to the d0c37999c6 lineage of the 903ff24991 Lee family, which e86cbb23f6 had produced queens c999b4e181 and royal concubines 74e0935dd3 for generations.0d48aa6f8bd13110

His appearance baae3a9eda was so cf6fa5d25c flawless it 11e406330e made my f880ae4e5b insides churn. He looked like b8ccc604bc a celestial being c029389630 who had descended 303f0be797 to earth. And the way 87ac12ce0e he smiled at acd0190f20 me—graceful and alluring—was 858769d625 maddeningly perfect.b340c48d5bab975e

Even his sweat b8890385ad somehow looked refreshing. He rarely left 4e000b0040 his house except f1a58a67aa for horseback riding, 530e25d205 and the only 86b9dd8ff5 place he ever 665babbe90 visited was mine. But today, 0afb67b058 he was 18b1523de1 standing right 157083c225 in my 240df3e764 path.c5bc52c9f2003e69

The first to f995b6083b speak was Lee 09a71eb451 Seol. He walked toward e2405c3ae0 me with an 20d6c2dafe expression so radiant 0d554bba68 that even the 754d6ff7db spring sunlight seemed 4ca8264618 dull in comparison.

His concern was c0ffc7b1d2 written all over 8ee68977eb his face. He studied e8de344f52 me carefully, dab8876416 waiting for d5c2630dad me to 3d4c10b3b0 say something. Watching him, I 802ada58fd felt an uncomfortable b029e5ccfc twist in my c4573831ca gut, making me 381c35a2fb sneer without meaning fc91d08be3 to. Seeing that, his e9e85e14fb eyes widened in 5f55f67bcd surprise, and he cd7a6d05f4 took another quiet 5631d7b407 step closer.3d17f33cddc6d5fc

“Did someone a07aee5898 bother you? Should I kill them 64384e7a20 for you?”44f22033c832ee45

His voice was barely a136e2eb07 above a whisper, but f78d0c3e72 it sent a long, dc99871f88 weary sigh out of ab8812814a my mouth.52888356fc89fb47

At my words, 7aeb8d47d1 Lee Seol smiled, b9aabe257b his eyes curving e22082ad3a gently. His radiant d1159a432d smile was 8d22631dee as bright 2b8cbc1443 as spring 87ba312ce1 sunshine, warm 41c977c31a enough to f79eef6546 make it 4d94923f60 feel like 03c650cc29 the scent 856f636ef0 of flowers adbc1a9c40 was blooming ea6e231a30 in my 2e149ff777 chest.9a60c29f2f9f07fb
