That summer afternoon, spent beside the being who had become the heaviest in my world, with the verdure of the season deepening within the confines of my lone space, self-isolated from others. Solitude was no longer an option for me. A life without Woonu only promised loneliness.... more>>

I lost my family and experienced the loneliness that lingered in their absence, living a lonesome life without holding anyone close to my heart, stewing in my solitude. Loneliness and solitude cannot coexist. Only those who have chosen solitude know of this truth.

Solitude is a blank, and loneliness is a dearth that seeks to be filled. Because solitude is closer to nonpossession than it is to resignation, while loneliness is like a jar with a leaky bottom. That imperfectly solid blank of mine, built from my fleeing of loneliness, became desperate to contain a whole being.

Woonu, having felt the rain at the tip of his fingers, arm stretched beyond the eaves, suddenly straightened his legs and leaned his upper body forward.

“Huh? A green frog!”

“Where? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”

“There, over there! Oh, oh, it’s jumping!”

“Oh, there really is one.”

“Where did it come from? Has it always lived here?”

I quietly gazed at the side of his face, his mouth agape with a bright smile adorning it.

Where did you come from? Where did you come from for it to feel as though you’ve always been here? <<less

Oh come on, Not me. A singer who lost their voice in a car accident, 'I,' opened my eyes. With a body that could no longer sing, I intended to die just like that.

"I won't let you die.”

My husband, who once loved the saint, is acting strange. Why now?

I am not Ariadeline who was drowning in love.

"What on earth are you thinking?”

"I'm thinking of making you love me again."

Unlike my confused self, Carlothian smiled.

"You already loved me once."

Since you already loved me once, won't loving me twice be easier?

The teary sound filled the room thickly. <<less

“No. There isn’t anyone that doesn’t know that I don’t have a shred of feelings for you anyways, so is there a need to put on an act?”

The nobles covered their mouths with fans at the sight of the Empress being openly embarrassed by the Emperor but didn’t retract their gazes.

Along with the fed-up Edmund’s unkind treatment, the courage that was squeezed out disappeared instantly, and Sotis bowed her head without saying anything.

Sotis loved Edmund.

But Edmund hated Sotis.

“I have no intention of letting you go today.”

“I’ve never asked you to let go of me. It’s alright if you make a mess, so hurry…”

The Emperor, who’d made the Empress become an object of gossip for the nobles, sought his mistress’ embrace. Sotis felt miserable whenever she saw Edmund whispering affectionately to another woman.

‘Will everyone be happy if I disappear? Would it be alright if I disappeared? It’s just, if only I could disappear.’

***

Within the bedroom where the Empress slept quietly without waking, only a mage saw her wounded soul.

As Sotis sat by the window, she seemed shy and embarrassed, while combing her long hair with a faint smile.

“Even if you don’t lift a finger, there will definitely be someone that likes Your Majesty just the way you are.”

Although it was her first meeting that mage, the mage responded to her innermost thoughts as though he knew about everything.

“I’ll find a way. Just like how you saved me, I will also ensure that both of your feet will touch the ground once again.”

[……If you say that, it sounds as though such a day would definitely arrive.]

The mage turned his back on the Empress, who was lying on the bed beautifully and whispered to the soul by the window every day, eventually managing to awaken Sotis’ physical body…

“Tomorrow morning, we will declare our divorce. The reason for the divorce is your body’s poor condition, your soul’s instability, and your inability to carry on the family line.”

Through a single mage's utmost dedication, Empress Sotis was able to regain her body, but what she was faced with was the Emperor’s notice of divorce. <<less

Until the hotel room card mix-up, and he came into the room, seeing Su Hui lying on the bed with an eye mask on, calling out another person’s name, “You’re back so soon…?”

Impulsiveness made him pull off Su Hui’s eye mask, but the moment their gazes met, he regretted it.

It had been six years of separation. Their reunion should have been a more presentable one.

”At least on the skybridge on 42nd Street, the us who have nothing at all once had the sight of Manhanttanhenge — even if it was only for 15 minutes and 20 seconds.”

Ji Pianpian: “You have guts to kill me again!”

Shen Du stabbed her in the chest with a sword, mercilessly.

Ji Pianpian vows to be shameless and kill him thousands of times: “Lie flat and wait.”

Du-shen: “Okay, baby.”

After a while, Ji Pianpian received a video request——

The man leaned against the head of the bed, his black shirt was fully unbuttoned, his tie loosened to his collarbone. Then the hem of his clothes stretched along his strong chest to his abdominal muscles, while the belt locks his pants and his mermaid line is sexy and ambiguous.

In the video, Shen Du’s brows and eyes are lazy, and his accent is seductive: “I’m lying flat, waiting for you.”

Ji Pianpian covered her eyes, her voice trembling: “…who, who made you lie on the bed!”

Later, when he learned that his little girlfriend had just turned eighteen, Shen Du’s black eyelashes drooped: “You are still young, when you grow up you should resent me as an old man.”

Ji Pianpian: “How old should I be?”

Shen Du said slowly: “In another five years.”

Ji Pianpian wanted to say something but stopped, holding out a sentence: “…It doesn’t have to be five years.”

Shen Du: “?”

Ji Pianpian: “You’re already eating tender grass, you old cow!” <<less

She cannot help but feel intense hatred towards him.
