Everything feels right even if I don't want to, stay within my sight
♡♡♡♡
The room that is often used by King Sejong to work today is a little crowded, because there are two newlywed couples who come to visit after taking a vacation. The two couples deliberately gave good morning greetings to the King who did arrange a marriage for the two couples.
"I hope you can be happy with your marriage." The words of King Sejong only in reply with thanks from the two couples in front of him, did not look the happiness of these two couples like other newlyweds made King Sejong sigh sadly.
He didn't want to do this either, but there was no other choice for him. Yesterday's problems made the King have to sacrifice the happiness of the four people before him, do not forget the concubine Suki aka Hagi who was equally hurt because she was connected to him.
"Well you can go, ah maybe you can say hello to Concubine Suki first, I know she must be lonely. So visit him often." King Sejong's words suddenly made Hyunmie and Jong Seo stare at Kyuhyun who stiffened perfectly but then Kuuhyun took a deep breath to set his heart pounding.
"We say hello to Your Majesty." Said Jong Seo representing everything and then left the King's room after permission by King Sejong.
Kyuhyun looked dreamy as he walked towards Hagi's residence, as well as Hyunmie and Jong Seo made Shin Min ah who did not know anything look confused.
"Do I have to go there too?" Shin Min ah's words disperse their daydream, Hyunmie was still reluctant to look at Shin Min ah he was just staring in the other direction while Jong Seo was just a small smile.
"You can go there later, if you want you can go to the crown princess first, let the three of us greet concubine Suki." Shin Min Ah nodded and left after not caring about Kyuhyun or Hyunmie.
Kim Jong Seo gasped for breath seeing his ex-fiance and his sister still did not want to say hello to his wife, he also did not like his wife, he also did not like his wife, but Jong Seo is trying his best because he does not want any more problems between his father and father-in-law like before the wedding.
The three of them immediately went to Hagi's residence as soon as they saw Shin Min ah leave, the first one to step on Hyunmie's foot, he missed Hagi a lot, Hyunmie also wanted to convey something to Hagi, she said, Uncle and Aunt Ma asked him to give Hagi clothes that he had shown the other day as evidence that Hagi was not from Joseon.
While Kyuhyun namja seems reluctant even though he also misses Hagi, even he has never slept well for the past week because he thinks of Hagi who is now a concubine. But Jong Seo immediately pulled his sister's hand and gave a soothing smile to Kyuhyun, making him nod his head.
After all Kyuhyun had to be strong to face all this, even his whole life he had to do it if he still wanted to see Hagi by his side. Hagi's shadow disappeared more horribly than seeing the girl become a concubine.
The three arrived at Hagi's residence not long since Hagi's residence was very close to the main room of King Sejong's residence. Dayang Jang immediately invited the three to enter because Hagi himself was waiting for their arrival.
As the three entered Hagi stared softly at Kyuhyun who was still lowered down not daring to look at Hagi.
"Please sit down." The three of them immediately sat before Hagi and the first to speak was Hyunmie.
"How are you concubine Suki?" Hagi slashed out a breath then pulled Hyunmie's hand and gripped her tightly.
"Oh don't be like this, I'm tired of everyone calling me by that title here, can you just call me by my name as usual?" Hyunmie smiled faintly when she saw how frustrated Hagi was, she could understand the feelings of Hagi who was used to living freely and now had to be confined in a place like this.
"I don't dare Consort Suki." Hagi pulled her hand slightly sulking she was lonely and wished that someone would visit her without the frills of a concubine.
"At least when there's no one, can you call me Hagi? You'd have the heart if you kept calling me by that title." Kim Jong Seo and Hyunmie just a little smile finally nodded in order to please the new concubine before them. Hagi looked back at Kyuhyun merrily, but since then, just silently not making a sound and still looking down made Hagi sad.
"How are you Kyuhyun_ssi." Hagi's question suddenly made Kyuhyun wake up from his daydream.
"I'm good Consort Suki." Kyuhyun still lowered his head and replied still with the title that Hagi had.
"Can you see me? And can you just call me Hagi?" Hagi asked with a slight trembling voice, he was really sad when Kyuhyun made his stranger now. Kyuhyun closed his eyes trying to muster up his courage to look at Hagi, slowly Kyuhyun raised his head then smiled wistfully at the girl he loved so much.
"I'm fine Hagi_ssi..." Hagi bit his lower lip trying to keep sobs from coming out of his mouth when he saw Kyuhyun's tyrannical face as well as the slightly blackened eye bags that adorned his face. But Hagi could not help the tears that fell on his face and quickly removed them and tried to smile and look at Hyun Mie who was worried about Hagi.
"How are Eomma and Abeoji Ma?" Hagi remembered her foster parents who still lived at Park's ministerial home.
"They're okay.they're happy to know the real reason why you're a concubine. And they also leave this to hand over to you." Hyunmie handed him a package wrapped in silk cloth given by Ma's aunt before entering the palace.
Hagi smiled with relief then took the package from Hyunmie's hand that was when Hagi's hand came back transparent making the three people there hold their breaths of surprise even Kyuhyun directly held Hagi's hand and clasped his hand it was with a scared expression.
"What's this about? Why is this again?" Kyuhyun immediately asked frantically as Hyunmie's hand was still fickle from transparent to normal again.
Hagi just slashed his breath then shook his head in confusion he also did not understand why it could be this way, yesterday even Hagi sent someone to make sure if his grandfather and ancestors were okay. And as Hagi saw this great-grandfather was indeed fine.
"We're all fine, nothing weird." Hagi looked back at Kyuhyun as the grip on his hand tightened, but he was still frightened as his hand was still fickle.
"Tell me what to do? I'm not gonna let you disappear or get out of here." Kyuhyun looked at Hagi asking, even as Kyuhyun urged Hagi to answer his question.
"I don't know Kyuhyun_ssi.." As the four people fell silent, Hagi's gaze was fixed on the paper that the King had given him yesterday, as if remembering something Hagi looked at Kim Jong Seo asked.
"Is His Majesty going to send you to the north in the near future?" Hagi's question was answered with a surprise nod from Jong Seo.
"How do you know?" Hagi pulled his hand from Kyuhyun's grasp and opened the papers that had been folded in front of him, Jong Seo and Kyuhyun who knew about the letter were immediately shocked because only His Majesty and they alone knew about the letter.
"Wait why the letter was on you?" Jong Seo who asked Hagi first was surprised, while Hagi he felt like he was starting to find the bright spot of all this, the reason why his body was transparent again.
"Your Majesty asked me for my opinion, I was also in Jeju and His Majesty still thinks that my parents died in the Jurchen massacre. It's about the necklace pendulum that the Jurchen general had that made his army stronger. This general is leading a rebellion in the northern region of Joseon now." Jong seo who understood a little nodded.
"So His Majesty thinks you've probably seen this general and wants to be sure about the issue of the necklace pendulum being a talisman for his strength as well as his army?" Hagi nodded then looked back at the pendulum image before him.
"I've never seen the Jurchen general wear this pendulum either, but it seems I've seen the pendulum pictured here, only I'm not sure because there's something missing from this pendulum, or maybe it could just be similar. I have to make sure of that." Kyuhyun again looked anxiously at Hagi's transparent back Hand.
"But isn't it important now that you're Hagi? Look at your hand." As if aware of Kyuhyun's tension, Hyunmie spoke up as she also saw Hagi's transparent hand.
"Have you not seen the point of what we're discussing?" Hagi's question made Kyuhyun frown in confusion.
"Whatchu mean? Do we still have time to do all this? You almost disappeared again." Hagi looked at Kyuhyun grudgingly, he felt overwhelmed with the anger and fear that Kyuhyun felt about his condition that at any moment could disappear.
"It is precisely because there is no time that we have to solve this problem. See I know this may not make sense about this Jurchen General, but believe it or not I learned a lot about the Jurchens, they still believe in mystic power as well as the power of the Budis. I'm not going to laugh at them because my situation here is more absurd. What I'm trying to say is that there's a possibility why I'm being transparent again because Jong Seo is going to be sent north for a mission to eliminate the Jurchen forces now led by the pendulum's owner general." Hagi's words finally made Kyuhyun who began to understand make conclusions.
"That means there's a chance Hyung could die if he keeps going there." Hagi nodded his head assenting, it seems that this makes sense, because in history Kim Jong Seo has indeed become the leader for the troops to the north this year.
"Then I'll just have to ask the King not to leave if that's the case." This time Kyuhyun and Hyunmie nodded in agreement to Jong Seo's words. Kyuhyun wants to keep Hagi here whereas Hyunmie wants Jong Seo to stay alive for at least longer.
But not with Hagi, the girl just shook her head in disagreement, because in the history of Jong seo who will defeat the army is not another, not the other, and if it wasn't Jong Seo, that army couldn't be conquered.
"No, I don't agree with that, Jong Seo will still go and I'm sure His Majesty wants that as well. His Majesty has entrusted this to you since long ago Jong Seo_ssi. And you're the only experienced war general in Joseon." Jong Seo nodded in understanding, actually he also could not just retreat what else now he had become the deputy prime minister and this would be his first task after his appointment.
But not with Kyuhyun and Hyunmie both obviously do not want to lose one of them.
"Does it matter if Hyung ends up dead and you disappear?" Kyuhyun's words were immediately replied to a quick nod from Hyunmie.
"And our sacrifice will be in vain if you remain lost." Hagi let out a sigh as Hyunmie remained adamant with her words
"Who said I wanted to go missing? Listen, it's because I don't want anyone dead or missing that's why we have to figure out a way to get the power in that pendulum gone. If according to the information, the pendulum can be found in the porters in Jeju. That means I can find information there." Kyuhyun shook his head in disagreement.
"Don't let me find that info." Kyuhyun tried to offer himself up, he did not want Hagi to be in danger for going to Jeju.
"Truly said Kyuhyun, you can't just leave here. You remember you are now a palace concubine." Hagi let out a sigh as Jong Seo reminded him of his current position.
"I know that's exactly why I need your help to persuade Your Majesty, I had to go there too because I had to make sure something was there and this right could not be represented because it also concerned my whereabouts as well. I can't go with Kyuhyun either because I'm sure His Majesty won't agree. I asked Jong Seo to accompany me there. What's wrong Hyunmie_ssi?" The three were quite surprised when Hagi actually asked Jong Seo to accompany him.
"But why?" Hagi cut his breath seeing the three people before him in confusion.
"Because I'm sure Your Majesty will believe if I go with Jong Seo_ssi." This time Jong Seo nodded in understanding, Kyuhyun chose silence because he also understood the meaning of Hagi's words, Hagi did not want His Majesty to think a no-no to him.
"Well, if you think this is the best way, I'll support you." Jong Seo's words were only in reply to Hyunmie's tranquilizing smile as Hagi looked at her.
Hagi also looked at Kyuhyun who could only smile magically, he this time could not help anything to Hagi and it was very unpleasant. As if understanding how Kyuhyun Hagi felt a small smile, a smile that he never even showed anyone, a smile that said by just looking at Kyuhyun alone, that name has helped Hagi a lot with a comfortable feeling, and Kyuhyun felt it then smiled wryly at Hagi.
