Weekly Chapter 1/4

The objects cast shadows under the moonlight. There was white smoke in the air.

It was late at night, when everyone should be asleep. An intense light appeared in Jihak’s eyes as he looked around the cluttered room.

—Eunha went to a coastal town because Kim kicked her out.

—It was Eunha who made the choice. She ran away.

—She had no choice!

—You seem to know more than I do.

Jihak stood up with the pipe in his mouth. After he pushed aside some items scattered on the floor with his feet, he bent down to pick up a book.

He looked at the book’s contents. When he remembered that there was a similar book among the books he brought from the West, he smiled as he looked at what she had written.

In her book, she described being touched by wildflowers blooming among rocks, trembling at the roar of a tiger, and recalling someone when she walked through the snow at night. Perhaps he crossed her mind.

Alternatively, she imagined something unreal.

His pupils trembled as he read aloud the last chapter.

[What is love?

Is it the soul of a daffodil admiring its reflection in the water, or the essence of a mother nurturing her newborn baby?

The warmth that touches me, his blacks like wild grapes and his fingers through my hair. Everything has the same name.

If he shares my feelings, if he speaks softly to me, if he wraps me in his embrace…

I dare to love him]

His heartbeat pounded in his head. He would have liked to watch when she wrote this.

He felt the same way, too.

Even more inordinate sentiment. He would be able to give her this country.

He wanted to brush her hair all his life.

The tears he believed had long dried up began to flow once more. When his tears soaked the paper, his hand closed the book. He placed it on the bookshelf.

Seated on the windowsill, Jihak tapped the ashes out of his pipe.

“Yuljae.”

He could not sleep at night. He called a person when dawn came.

Yuljae entered the room with a serious face.

Jihak stood up. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he looked silently out the window. His cold gaze was fixed on the attendants who appeared.

“I have to find my girl.”

“Eunha, Seoi told me that there will be a wedding ceremony in the town today.”

Yongi shook her body. Eunha woke up with a sleepy face.

She felt a headache when she saw the sirutteok and pork that Yongi had brought.

“I’m not hungry right now. I’ll sleep a little longer, so share the food.”

She opened the window to calm her nausea. The wind that smelled like fish hit her face. She wanted to breathe fresh air, but it wasn’t easy in a seaside town.

Now she wanted to be away from the sea. She would like to be in a pine forest until her stomach calmed down. She still felt morning sickness. Yongi looked at her with pity.

“Let’s go to the doctor.”

“It is not necessary. I just ate something bad.”

“You’ll lose weight.”

“Don’t worry, sister.”

“Go outside for some fresh air while I tidy up. Lying down will only make you feel worse. I’m not trying to pressure you, but you should consider taking some nausea medication.”
