"I really don't know".
"I told you it was powder of tiger bones.
And it was a fever reducing medicine...
Jungmi screams".
"From who?".
Euimin the butler slaps her.
"Someone save me".
See screams out crying.
"Tell me who gave you that medicine".
"Jungmi,are you there?".
Michiko walks in calling on to her.
"I'm out of cigarettes".
"Madam!".
Jungmi runs to her the side.
Michiko pushes her away.
"What are you doing? I told you I'm out of cigarettes didn't I?".
"Yes Madam"
Jungmi runs out of the room.
She directs her gaze to Euimin.
"Leave a 100 won in my room".
Euimin replies asking if she started gambling again.
She looks at him from head to toe.
"I've never heard of a wallet being able to talk before...?".
She closes the room door and leaves.
It's isn't your money it's the young masters.
"I wrote down the family tree that you must remember and the list of people who visit here quite often".
Euimin tells me leaving the book at my side.
"Does the person named Yujin also live in the house? Ah no live here too?".
I asked him.
"He's a writer sponsored by the Baron. He uses the room along the aisle by the stairs on the second floor,where the servants also reside".
"He isn't someone you particularly need to care about".
Is that so?
Since then I always visited his room knocked and ran away.
The third night of doing so, while going down the stairs I tripped and almost fell.
But Yujin catches me.
"What are in front of my room every night?".
"Do you really want to catch my attention that badly?".
He definitely knows.
He wrote the novel because he resents me,of course there's no way he would be kind to me.
But still.
It scares me if he looks at me like that.
Because they're too different.
"Um good evening".
I don't know how to get closer to him.
Like how our relationship was before.
I have no choice but to lie.
I apologise telling him I didn't know that this was in front of his room.
"Lies".
He says to me and let's go,then leave's walking into his room.
"Don't go your right I was waiting for you".
I pleaded with him.
"Why because I look like SungWu?".
"Did something happen between you and that person?".
He asked me these alarming questions.
"You're not that person after all".
I told him.
"Then I have no business with you young master".
"Please be my friend".
I begged.
I went further telling him he's the only face I'm familiar with.
This must be fine.
Since this SungWu doesn't know anything.
I can start anew with him.
"Let's be friends".
I smiled while telling him.
" You want us to be companions?".
He asked me while look down.
He rubbed his fingers on my lips.
"So you want us to be friends even if you look at me with such a gaze?".
"Please note I am 4 years older".
He makes his way to his room,so do i.
I bury my face and thoughts in a pillow.
He twenty three why?!
If he made me nine years older here. Then he should also be nineteen!
We're just the Same age in the real world!!!
I guess it's fine then.
It's just a four years difference. If were friend then it's fine.
Though I felt like he begrudgingly accepted it.
The SungWu here is difficult to deal with.
The original SungWu was bright, and tender...
I layed onto my pillow until I noticed something was inside.
Paper.
By morning I decide to ask Euimin what was written on the note, and whether or not of he could rewrite it down from Japanese to Korean.
"Are you saying you can't read it?".
He asked me with the look of shock written all over his face.
I guess the current Korean here is Japanese.
"I'm not even Japanese but it'd be fine to just use Korean".
I suggested.
"My second foreign language is Arabic you see".
"Pardon?"
He say looking more confused.
"Young master Lee, you could die from the words you spoke just now".
He warns me.
Who's coming?
Suddenly an unknown person entered my room.
I finally remembered,he's Hyung Nim my older brother.
"I was wondering when you'd get well to become this Hyung Nim's hand and feet,but it seems like we're lucky enough if you don't let our household fall to ruin".
Hyung Nim said to me.
Let's see... I heard you're somewhat back to the land of the living.
I he worried about me
"It seems like you've lost a lot of weight".
Is this sympathy or disdain he's feeling towards me?
"You aren't even a woman but you're so pale tsk,tsk".
He brushes his hands on my face.
"Get some sunlight,you hear me? Sunlight".
No.
This is a big cold.
