Can I See You Again

He's Not Coming Too

Since being discovered by Young, it has been some time, Youra has never met Jun again. Given what her brother had ordered, Youra never tried to leave the foot of the mountain again.

His heart was broken, as if it was brimless, he kept recalling his last encounter with Jun. As Jun tried to tease her, asking if she liked it, Youa felt regret for not admitting it. That feeling made his heart unsettled. He thought, if he had known it was the last day he met Jun, maybe he would have been more willing to admit it. 

The feeling of sadness changed, considering the news of the number of young people who will soon get married in the village. Youra sat pensively on the riverbank rocks. He recalled how he and Jun were joking around there. 

He held his own hand and saw his own reflection through the calmness of the water that day. A moment later, he shed tears. Slowly those tears turned into bitter cries.

He's really sad. How not, the tragic death of both of her parents, her friend Ara who left her, not to mention Jun who was eventually expelled by her own brother. 

Dad, mom..

My friend Ara,

And Jun…

Can I see them again? 

Just then, she stopped crying, but her sobs were still heard. He recalls the struggle of his brother. One by one the treatment and sweet behavior of the brother who was actually cold made him smile a little.

Before long, he stood up and ran to the beautiful place that the older brother showed him. There, still with endless tears, he kept laughing. Totally laugh. Laughing as if there were no burden. Laugh after possible, but, every time he tried to laugh, his sad face and tears never stopped flowing. Until finally he who is not strong, stop laughing. Defeated on his sadness. Crying as hard as possible.

Just then, the older brother Lee Young stood far behind a tree watching him. He cried to see how tortured his sister was at that time. Young, grieving, tried to get closer to calm the younger brother, but, just as he was about to step, far from there, Jun walked closer to the younger brother.  

Young was silent in place.

At that time, he who wanted to prevent them from meeting could do nothing. The younger brother, who had been crying, finally fell silent when he saw Jun approaching him. 

Jun came smiling at him.

“Kak Jun?” ogre.

Young tried to hold back his steps. He kept watching them.

Jun sat next to Youra. 

“I came to the riverbank. However, I was like hearing a tigress voice, and when I checked, it turned out that her tigress was rampaging here". 

Youra who heard Jun's chattering then laughed with her face puffy.

The older brother who just kept looking from afar, could only fall silent. Young, who was about to approach them to take Youra home, abandoned her intentions. 

”What is it that being with Teacher Jun, can make you so happy?” muttered the brother from behind his hiding.

At that moment, silence approached them. More like a drama. When the younger brother is with Jun, the man he loves. Her brother, who had wanted to get angry, became unable to do anything, because the sister looked so happy. 

“Youra,” call Jun.

Youra then turned to her, wiping away the tears still stuck to her cheeks.

“Ya?” Youra looked awkward.

Jun then approached.

“I want to make a confession,” Jun added.

Jun's words made Youra become hopeful. Youra tried to throw that hope away. But, uh,

“I saw you paint my face,” said Jun who suddenly made Youra shocked.

“When I helped you quote your fallen paper that day, I accidentally saw a familiar sketch of a face. Is that me?” he added.

Youra tried to dodge.

”Pede once. I like to make random sketches,” argued.

“I repeatedly caught you watching me, while in the bureau, on the street, as I sat in..”.

“Stop!” youra shouted at him.

Jun fell silent and blinked a few times.

“Whatever I do, it's all just a coincidence. Kak Jun's clothes are always nice, so I like to pay attention to them. That's it,” Youra tried to dodge.

Jun who was aware of the awkwardness could only smile. He brought his face closer to Youra's.

“Really?” tanya Jun made Youra ashamed.

Jun smiled. He stood up and cleaned his robe.

“Two days I'll see you again. I'll talk to your brother,” Jun said as he continued to tidy up his clothes.

Jun changed his facial expression, stepped close once about to swing his hand, then touched Youra's head slowly.

“I'm getting married. And you're the girl I'm gonna marry".

Youra was silent in disbelief. His consciousness seemed to be in Jun's grasp. Jun's words made his expectations even greater than before. He could only stay in place looking at Jun who left after smiling sweetly at him.

At that time, all I thought about, was that I had to be happy. 

Youra smiled loosely. While Young was silent shedding tears.

I never want to know if my sister is happy or not. 

**

Youra walked into her house very happily. She kept smiling, so Nana smiled at her. Meanwhile, Young sat in the courtyard of their hut while dismembering the wood and scraping it.

“From a beautiful place,” replied Youra spirit. 

“Oh, I see,” Young pretends not to know.

A moment after, Youra approached him.

“What are you doing?”.

Youra then sat looking at the wood and bamboo work of her brother.

“What Crown Prince also asked you to make all this?” ask plain Youa.

Young was silent because his thoughts were still about Jun and his sister earlier.

“What is that cruel Crown Prince? He had brother make all this alone?” ask Youra again.

Young was surprised to hear the sister's question.

“No. The Crown Prince is not cruel. I made this all for myself. Nothing to do with the Crown Prince,” Young again cut the wood.

“Why are there so many weapons?" ask Youra.

Young stopped working on all that, then the next few seconds he answered.

“I want to sell it,” replied Young briefly then raised all his hardware to the back.

“Kakak, has the palace found the killer of Father and Mother?” 

He said nothing, except one thing..

“Justice belongs only to those who have names, noble families who have rank in the palace. We can't expect anything because we're nobody anymore, ” Young replied.

Justice, only those who have status. 

“But turn out the state advisor, the king's favorite official. Must be the palace trying to find the culprit, right?” ask Youra again.

“Hopefully,” answer briefly Young.

Youra felt, there was something strange about her brother's behavior that day. However, he did not think about anything bad and just kept thinking about Jun.

**

Two days later, as promised, with a very happy feeling, Youra woke up from her sleep excitedly. She asks Nana to prepare a flower bath for her so that her body smells good. 

I couldn't sleep waiting for that day.

After taking a shower, Youra opened her small wooden cabinet. There, there was a stitching dress that her mother had used to come to the palace. Youra smiled happily, the dress was still very beautiful and beautiful as she tried to stretch it out. She immediately put on the clothes, and asked Nana to rate her appearance. That day, he was completely different.

The day I wore the most beautiful dress of my life.

”Very beautiful. You really look a lot like Mrs Eri,” praise Nana. 

My mother's silk dress, I wear to meet my heart.

While shedding tears, Youra was very happy and hugged Nana.

“Close with me. Later, I'll take Jun to meet brother. Has your sister left?” ask Youra.

“Yes, Miss Youra. Young Master has left from dawn,” replied Nana.

“So soon as he's gone".

At that time, I was very happy.

Youra then went towards the edge of the lake with Nana. Nana was so happy to see her nona keep smiling. Not noticeably, they also arrived at the edge of the lake, and sat there waiting for Jun to come.

I'm waiting for him..

At that time, the morning birds had already traveled from the mountain. The sign is that time is approaching noon.

I kept waiting, the man I loved..

While throwing away her boss, Nana and Youra continued playing on the edge of the lake while laughing cheerfully. They talk about a lot of things. Until we realized, the afternoon had changed. 

“Nona, is that Young Master coming this afternoon?” ask Nana.

Youra smiled.

“Of course. He promised to meet here today. We just wait”.

But, uh, 

The sky turned yellow as the sun began to sink. The view of the lake began to dim and faint. The sound of birds singing could be heard everywhere. The excitement turned a little fearful as the sky darkened towards the night.

Even when the night comes to say hello,

Youra whose face looked disappointed, remained firmly standing in place.

Even until then,

“Nona, it's late, shouldn't we go home first? It's possible that the Young Master had such an important affair that he couldn't come today,” Nana tried to persuade Youra to come home.

.. He didn't come.
