Description
Go Ha-Jin's recollections of her past life as Hae Soo haunts her relentlessly but she tries her best to forget. Painful memories of Goryeo and her lost Fourth Prince, in her opinion, have no space in her present. It's time to move forward.
But fate took its course and lead her back to her person.
Unfortunately, he doesn't remember her.
Foreword
The Immediate Future
He wasn’t the Fourth Prince. But there was also no denying he was Wang So—one way or another.
The rain poured mercilessly as she at his back, stubbornly turned at her. She was feeling light headed; passing out seemed like a good option. But not now.
She wasn’t going to let him go for the nth time.
“You speak...foolishly,” he said, not bothering to face her, “There’s no such thing.”
His deep tone reminded her greatly of the monarch she had loved so much. Everything was the same—from the pitch to the timbre, his voice remained the same. This time, however, it wasn’t him.
“This is crazy. You know that,” he continued, “I don’t know why I even followed. It was stupid of me to do so.”
He spoke so coldly it hurt. Then again, he had always been that kind of person. She didn’t know what hurt more: his rejection or the rejection happening again. But she knew better than give up on him.
“But you followed,” she said, making her voice loud so he can hear her, “You believed me! Surely, that means something.”
His back remained stoically faced at her but the slight movement suggested her words cut him deep.
Please don’t let go. Please face me. Please, she quietly begged, I don’t know what I’d do if you don’t.
There was a small movement from his end. She watched as his heel turn back, his body turning, and his eyes meeting her gaze once more. Those dark eyes—soulless to some, but tormented for her—pierced her soul. His gaze was enough to bring back memories, both from the past and the present.
“You’re crazy,” he said.
She bit her lip.
“Yes, I’m crazy,” she finally admitted, taking a step forward, “I’m stupid and I’m crazy. I don’t make sense. I’m going mad.”
She took small steps towards him, hoping he wouldn’t step back. She had waited long enough for him to realize, hoping he too would remember. All those years of longing shouldn’t come to this point.
“But I don’t care,” she added, “You can think all you want but I refuse to leave you alone over and over again. I’m not going to leave you anymore.”
She walked until she was an inch away from him. The rain continued to pour but she didn’t care. She took advantage of the short distance, studying every detail of his face—the face of the man she loved.
In this life or the last, it was always him.
“You’ll have to throw me away,” she said, “Because you...you are my person.”
