Goodbye

Hae Min waved her hands. "I brought a food for you." She handed the food she made to Youngmi. "Thank you." You can see that Youngmi is so tired by looking at her eyes. The black circles under Youngmi's eye showed up. Who would be comfortable to sleep on a sement floor? Hae Min sighed, her physical body really changed. Youngmi became skinnier than before.

Hand marks are all over her arms. They are obviously holding her too tight! Her hanbok is already torn. Her feet are red and she have nothing on her feet.

"They are obviously torturing you..." Youngmi chuckled as she shook her head. "Do not worry, I am fine. You should get going." Hae Min nodded her head. She waved her hand good bye to Youngmi.

...

"Hae Min! Wake up." Eunji shook her body to wake her up. "What is the problem?" Eunji is pale. She look worried. "I will took a bath first." She excused herself for a moment. Eunji sat down on Hae Min's bed. She closed her eyes for a moment until she fell asleep.

"Eunji?" She opened her eyes, she smiled at her. "Let's go for a walk, Hae Min."

They went to the nearest lake in the palace. The two women were filled with silence because neither of the two wanted to speak. They stared at the beautiful scenery, wishing that their lives is as beautiful as the scenary. The birds can wonder around freely, they can go wherever they want to go, unlike them. The trees seemed to be dancing. The ducks circling around the clean lake freely.

"There are too many shocking events. It seems to indicate that we should be careful." Eunji laughs bitterly. What would be the shocking news for tomorrow?

"Our life is like a game." Hae Min replied to Eunji's statement. Youngmi's condition is pitful. "Life is hard but we need to be." Eunji is right, it is difficult for elf to fight. It's just a test that's hard to accept. "It's just ridiculous, there are a lot of reasons to give up but there's still a reason to continue." If there are a hundred reasons to surrender ... there is still one reason to continue. "It's funny, it's funny yesterday it's all right now. It's all messy now." Hae Min nodded. She is right. All in all, it was all over. "What can we do? We're just people, Eunji, we are not sure of our future. Whatever the outcome is, we need to accept it." She sighed and looked up at the sky.

"Hopefully we're just a simple person." Hae Min looked at Eunji for a moment. "That's also one of my wishes. Maybe it's happier to live with the rats than to live with the chaotic family. that we have." She said deeply.

...

"Shiwoo! Do you think Hae Min is right?" Jiwoo asked his brother. "Shiwoo! I'm talking to you..." He tapped Shiwoo's face so that he will notice him. "Ha? Maybe... it's a big test for Hae Min to lose a friend, especially because she's Hae's only friend.." Shiwoo explained to his brother Jiwoo. "Anyway take a look on this." He handed the paper to Shiwoo.

"It is a big challenge to live in the world of inequality. Everyone will judge you even if they do not know you. Everyone is fighting for power. We are becoming greedy, trying to claim everything. Are we still worth it?" He read out loud. He nodded. He read it right. People are becoming more greedy and greedy. Degrading each other. They thought they were clean but they were too dirty to be clean.

...

The Prince sighed. The news about Youngmi is like a wild fire. It spreads easily. "Your highness!" Jinyung smiled on him. "Why are you so pale?" The Prince is really pale, even him do not know why! "I wish I knew..." Jinyung sighed. "You know what? I am nervous that something wrong is going to happen."

"And so am I, Jinyung."

...

The Princesses and The Princes are all together. They can not explain what they are feeling inside. Some of them are nervous, uneasy and curious. A loud shout from the outside caught their attention, they went out all together.

Hae Min's knees weaken when she saw the reason why they were mourning. Luckily Eunji and Soobin is holding her on her arms.
