Foreword

 

 

----

“What if it does not work? Even after all the hassle, what if he still does not believe me?”

There was a pause, and then a long stretched silence which made Chaerin even more nervous than she already is. A feeling of repulsion grew in her stomach, a sickening thought alarming her of the worst scenario which may happen as a result of her careless act that night. She took a step back, completely inhibited from her status as Queen of Joseon by day, and General Kwon’s lover by night.

She thought of how far they’ve come, all that they’ve been through, and came to a conclusion that she did not want to give in now. Not when she has finally found a reason to smile again.

But as she looked down and saw the hem of her hanbok, so gloriously sewn in honor of her title and reputation by the Department of Attire, and then the reflection of her hairpiece so carefully handpicked and designed by the Department of Jewelry, Chaerin found herself unable to grasp the wish she held so dearly to her heart.  

“What should we do then?”

Her question came off as a whisper, and Chaerin fought the urge to look at the young man. But when he still doesn’t answer, and Chaerin felt defeated by his silence, she decided to finally look at him again.

She was greeted then with a surprise, as her eyes caught his brown orbs gazing at hers with warmth and excitement, as though he has been waiting for her to look at him before revealing his thoughts to her.

Jiyong smiled, and Chaerin hopes that everything will be alright now.

“Then we run.”

Chapter 6: OHMY OHMY OHMY I AM TEARING UP NOW ;_____________; HUUUUUUUU
I can somehow relate. That feeling of numbness about a thing you used to care so much for. That you remember it clearly but you cannot, for the life of you, understand why it doesn't touch your heart the way it does before. How before, the mere mention of it could turn your day around; now, it is likened to a gentle breeze in summer---brief, passing, temporary. You cannot feel anything. You cannot even feel the coldness because you, yourself, have felt cold for far too long. Huuuuu


oh my, bb. this is really something. though there are sentences that sound more colloquially modern than medieval, the quality of the fic outshines it. huuu
Chaerin's line about happiness and letting go reminded me of something I believe in. Although mine is kinda different.

In my case, I learned that when we let go, we do not always end up happy. Some, yes; but some others, can't. We just free ourselves of the pain. Absence of pain does not necessarily mean happiness because sometimes when the memory returns, it is just as painful as if it never left in the first place. And sometimes, letting go is absorbing the suffering and misery until we get used to it. We let go of the memory but we are hardened. No longer able to feel suffering at the thought of it---and yet, we also lose the ability to feel genuine happiness. A hardened heart knows no pain but it is only a pure and open heart that can feel happiness.

ANYHOW, BB, as I've said, this fic is really good hasfsakjfnkjsanfka noted as one of my favorite fics from yours. AND TO THINK IT'S NOT EVEN ONE OF OUR MAIN OTPs!!! HAHAHAHA

WHATSAPP FOR MORE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS HAHAHA

LOVE YOU!

Chapter 2: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I love how you beautifully crafted the story in two time frames. It gives us a background of what has happened and what is currently happening. Huuuu

It's so beautiful; it's like knowing that they have braved the storm and made it but also not knowing whether another storm is coming kanfkjanf the suspense and the drama is there and makes us want to read more kajnfkanfksafn huuu

btw, I am really interested about Jiyong's family. It was implied in the previous chapter that he came from a respectable family---that he is not low-born. aksfkanfk I WANNA KNOW MOAAAAR!
