The tree bark was hurting my back, but I couldn't find a better place to rest from the long walking. Tired I took from my bag a bottle of water along with a bread roll, and I stretched out my legs 

"I need something more comfortable than this dress" I saw the mud stuck at the end of the skirt. I had the entire day walking aimlessly, but I was less worried than at the beginning of my fleeing

Yes my fleeing from a fate that would attach me to the cruelest of all vermin, enemy of my true love who had disappeared without trace

"I'm sure that villain was who kidnapped him, but where is my Hyun?" I saw at the blazing sun which warmed my arms and face "I will find you, so I have to get to the end of the world"

When I finished my meal I continued my journey, but the dress was preventing me to walk faster. I looked out of place with the people wandering through these ancient woods

"I have to find a village to change these clothes for something more appropriate for the trip" I tried to remember the last thing Hyun told me about how to survive the dense forests "Always have food with you, and above all a good map ... yes a map"

I unrolled the one that I stole from my father's library and I saw the marks that I'd done at home before fleeing

"Hyun, I promise that I will find you" I touched the ring he gave me the night of the harvest moon as a promise that I will be his bride, destined to be his wife.

The ring belonged to his mother, the queen of the fairies who gave him before their world vanished

“What do you think?" questioned my mother after sip her morning coffee.

I didn't know what to say about what I'd read, which was making me feel itchy in my hands "When they found this manuscript?"

"My friend from the publisher in the United States brought me, your grandmother wrote it when she studied in Yale" she adjusted her glasses moving a tuft from her face. My mother still had that air of intellectual from her college years

But that isn't the issue here, if not what my grandmother wrote when she had my age

"It's part of a book?"

"Yes, in a few days will arrive the rest, we will review and make correction of the text, but don't you think this is great Jin Ah. Your grandmother wrote a love story in a fantasy world; my friend told me that there is a lot of material that could be published as a book serie”

"Mother, my grandmother's stories is inspired in something real, I mean?" it came to my mind what Mir had said about the man who was looking for his bride

"Well, I've not seen fairies or elves walking down the street and less a prince riding a white horse"

"Are you serious mother, I have the impression that the Baek kids really think this world exists"

"Why do you ask? Because of Mir?"

"Well, he told me strange things about my grandmother, that maybe she wrote a true story"

And I wanted to go back in time ten seconds and shut my mouth to say that, which I found ridiculous. Surely Mir was playing with me 

"Yuri and Mir always spent time glued to the skirt of your grandmother when we visited their house"

"That's what bothers me, why I don't remember anything about it"

"For the same reason of the accident you had, when your grandmother died you did a sweep of your childhood memories, even of those precious for you. If someone mentioned something related, you left your chair and walked to your room. With the accident was the same, but you decided not continue with the ballet because the doctor told you that your leg didn't have the same coordination than the other. For walking there's no problem, but for something so precise as the dance routines would be more complicated”

My mother told gently, this wasn't an issue that hurt me anymore, but if it had been my father I would have cut the conversation

"It's better not talk about it" she said leaving the chair "I would have liked to see Mir, he must be very handsome"

"Yes" I said without thinking, and my mother smiled "I mean, yes he is for those that likes his features"

"Jin Ah, is not bad that you admit"

"Admitting what?"

"That you're impressed by him, sister?" Eun Hye appeared at the dining room holding a mirror passing the lip gloss on her lips "I saw him yesterday with his sister Yuri"

"Yesterday?" I murmured. I had a week in not seeing him after the arguing in the alley

"We will have to make a reminder of the time when you were a child"

"Eun Hye" my mother said shaking her head "Is not good..."

"No" I said "Tell me more"

"In the car, you have to take me to the bridal shop, and then we go wit
