Na-ra was currently walking to chwiseonru not wanting to see her friend burning to ashes or not wanting to go home either , and after inspecting the place she couldn't find her since she didn't even know how to ,every face there is a one she had saw before so she couldn't even be suspicious of anyone .

With the disappointment visible in her face Na-ra got to chwiseonru and what she saw was the maid who said to be fled from her twin is walking away nonchalantly and in her hand there was a..... Sword??.

Curious as she is she would have gone following her however a sudden voiced chimed in making her startled.

" Young lady~!!! You're here?! "

Ju-wol asked with a wide smile as Na-ra gave her a slight smile in return by seeing the girl's happiness towards her.

" Is this my lucky day?? The jang twins are here at the same time again ~"

" Uk is here?... "

Na-ra inquired the girl as she nodded her head at her hesitantly by seeing the girl's expression mortified into not happiness as she thought.

Na-ra stared at the thin air for a moment like she was thinking about something and gazed back to the girl.

" Take me to him. "

"Yes? Oh yes! This way. "

Ju-wol leaded Na-ra to an enclosed area in chwiseonru that people aren't seem nowhere near, as she walked upto there she could see jang uk staring outside by turning his back not noticing her presence yet.

" Thank you, you can leave us now.. You too younghee-yah i have something to talk to him. "

Na-ra ordered with cold but calm voice as the two of the other girls bowed to her as they walked away from there but younghee gave a last glance to the twins while she was walking away with concern.

" Uk. "

Na-ra called out his name as the cold aura filling the atmosphere between the two siblings .

Jang uk turns surprised to hear his twin's voice calling out to him when he thought he was alone at the time. Na-ra observe the latter's face it was surprised for a second but disappointment came flooding in his eyes again.

" If you are here for a lecture, do it another time. I'm not really in the mood."

The boys states as he let's out a heavy sigh but the girl let's out a slight chuckle tearing her eyes away from him to look at the ground only to fix her gaze back at him again.

" Yes, you always been like this.Careless."

The girl spitted out those words that she held long enough while the latter only got more annoyed by her comment.

" Oh, you're right. I am careless . I keep trying for something to gain that should be mine unlike you who doesn't even try."

Jang uk replies to Na-ra as Na-ra scoff at his statement towards her.

" Why do you even keep trying?! It's no use!! "

The girl yell at the boy making him more furious than he had been, the boy's eyes helded the anger he had right there .

" Then what? Stop trying and be a doll like you are?! "

The boy spits out the words he doesn't wanted her to hear but it was too late to be erased. The girl's steps falter at the boy's reply,Na-ra's face morph into something else in shock like her blood was just sucked out from her face from what she heard.

" Uk , what do you mean by saying that? "

" You know what I'm talking about.. "

" If this is about my marriage with the crown prince, it was solely my decisi-"

" A golden cage... Is still a cage.... "

The boy replies with a cold face not holding back anything. Na-ra felt like weak at that moment, that moment which felt like someone just told her which something she hated to be but deep down she knew she was that.. A puppet. A puppet that plays the play that everyone wanted her to unlike what she wanted to however she didn't let it show Na-ra yelled back louder to cover it.

" Why can't you just stop for once in your goddamn life?! Why do you need to always tarnish our family?!? "

Na-ra yelled making jang uk taken aback by her words only after a second she just knew what she just said, regret played on her face.

" Tarnish? ... You know why I can't stop? I CAN'T STOP BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE LIFE I WANT TO LIVE!!... Maybe you are so happy in your life because you get to be a doll doing whatever others want and not doing whatever 'YOU' want , but I'm not... I don't want to get married to a family for the sake of mine!!. "

The boy let out everything from his heart even out of breath as he stated everything , but just as the boy's gaze fell on her face he regretted everything.. A tear was flowing through the girls cheeks following by another.

"Na-ra-"

" I see.. But, this life... I'm living right now, it's not a life I want.. You're right about that.. But I have to live this life like this because unlike you, I can't afford to make any mistakes... Because I want to keep our family safe.. My family... You... "

Na-ra interrupt the boy as she states the words that came to her mind that second as she wipe off her tears. The boy starts to walk towards her but the girl fastly turn on her heels and starts to walk out.

" Wait, Na-ra- "

"Don't get hurt. "

The girl say's the last words as she interrupts the boy again and walks out holding her tears aback.

" Young lady, have you done talki- you-young lady, are you alright?? "

Younghee stutters through her words as she see Na-ra's face with red puffy eyes, tears flowed patterns in her cheek and most of all that vulnerability emotion she showed . Younghee's eyes faltered seeing the girl's state.

" Let's go home,.. Young lady. "

Younghee softened her eyes at the girl and the girl just nodded slowly not meeting her eyes until now. Na-ra walked through the halls not noticing half of the people surround her she just kept... Walking , to so called her home. But she didn't know which way it was, she did know which way is to the jang household but she has never felt that house as home not even once even she didn't even know why, even the people dearest to her lived there she couldn't address that house has an home.

Weird you may say but even the jang household was full of people she never felt there was people in there not even once for so many years she never felt home in anything or anyone. Even the people dearest to her was everything to her but no one was 'Home'.

Na-ra thoughts clouded her mind as well as her eyes resulting her to clash onto someone making her fall few steps backwards however the person caught her making her to steady her footsteps .

" Na-ra?? "

Na-ra looked upto the person with wide eyes hearing the familiar voice .

" Yul... "

The last person she wanted to see at the moment... Or maybe the only person she wanted to see at the moment....
