Special from birth.
Zhuge Byeo realized this when he was 5 years old..
“Are you saying you understand all of this??”
“Yes, the center of Jin corresponds to the tree of the five elements. It will be possible to resolve the weakness through the energy of fire..”
“Huh…!”
His understanding of the rules was exceptional..
The understanding of the text was extraordinary..
His understanding of martial arts was extraordinary..
prodigy).
Zhuge Byeo knew that he was classified as such from an extremely objective perspective..
Therefore, his childhood was not difficult..
Because the world had such a warm image to him..
“I finished elementary school.”
“Byeok, it’s truly shocking that you finished elementary school at the age of six..”
“Can I move on to the next progress??”
“Hehe, yeah. Is there anything you can't do if you want to?.”
It's easy, but life is too easy.
There was only one thing that was difficult for Zhuge Byeok..
It was just a feeling..
“I heard that the Archduke has already reached the top rank.!”
“That was it! The understanding of Jin is astounding! Do you know? Now, in Hubei, there are even people who say that the Grand Duke is the reincarnation of Gong Ming.!”
“haha! Good luck! That's Sega's fortune.!”
Everyone's praise follows..
Eyes of anticipation are pouring down.
But Zhuge Byeo could not fully accept it..
Exactly, I didn't know how to react to their compliments..
I had concerns.
And only when it lasted for seven days and nights did Zhuge Bai's understanding come up with an answer..
‘ah.’
Zhuge Byeok is a man who doesn't know how to properly respond to other people's emotions..
That's why he's a man who can't build deep relationships with others..
Only after that realization did Zhuge Bai come to see the admiration for himself differently..
“But isn’t it amazing? Even though Jihak is only old, he has already perfected his immovability. It is said that no one in the family has ever seen the Archduke's expression change.!”
“Is a prodigy a prodigy for nothing?!”
That was an empty sound.
It was a joy that Zhuge Liang could not reach, and a joy that he could not return to them..
Zhuge Bai was in agony..
Because admitting that you have a problem is quite difficult, no matter how much you do it..
It was a situation that could often be described as immaturity and wandering..
But no one knew that.
To many others, Zhuge Bai was just a great prodigy..
Days like that continued and Jihak turned fifteen..
Unbeknownst to anyone, Zhuge Byeok's inner self was rotting away..
His emotions just dried up..
Since I have nowhere to calm my mind, I often find myself alone..
As I try to distance myself from my worries, I start enjoying alcohol..
In the middle of those days, Zhuge Wall met.
“Why are you crying so much??”
Zhuge Byeo clearly remembered this day, even though it happened more than thirty years ago..
At a guesthouse in Wuhan, Hubei Province, when I was learning the work of the Murim League, I saw a woman who spoke to me at a restaurant I stopped by to quench my solitude..
“Sir, is the food not to your taste??”
The eyes that looked at you with a worried voice.
And her scent.
“…why.”
“hmm?”
“Why do you think you don't feel well?.”
I have never once expressed my feelings.
That's why I never looked into other people's feelings..
It's puzzling. How does this woman know her true self so well that no one else knows?.
The woman answered that.
“You can see it just by looking at it.”
The corners of the eyes are raised and the eyes are beautifully curved..
The slim and sharp facial lines become slightly rounder depending on the shape of the smile..
“Because I have a good eye for people. So, sir, the food doesn’t suit your taste??”
Her presence was a shock to Zhuge Byeok..
Her words, warmth, and eyes were in the most unfamiliar form that Zhuge Byeo had ever felt in his life..
Zhuge Byeo looked so foolish that day..
“what is your name.”
‘In response to the question 'Does the food not suit your taste', he asked 'What is your name?', so there would be no words in the world to describe him other than he was stupid..
“Name, you mean??”
“yes, name.”
It might have been unfortunate now..
She revealed her name.
“It's called a kite. Go Seo-yeon.”
Go Seo-yeon.
It was the day that the name was engraved on the wall of Zhuge Wall..
*
The woman who recognized my feelings for the first time in my life.
To Zhuge Byeok, her existence was more fatal than the extreme poison of the Four Heavenly Tang Gates..
It was okay to say it was some kind of addiction..
Zhuge Bai looked for her every day, like a person who would get a thorn in his mouth if he didn't talk to her even for a day..
Even on her holidays.
“…customer.”
“Today is the day of rest.”
“You look happy?”
Although Zhuge Byeok didn't know it was true until it was too late, Go Seo-yeon had a generous nature..
Anyway, how else can we describe a woman who smiles and greets a man who chases and harasses her even on her days off from work, other than being generous?.
“is it so. What else did you want to talk about today??”
Go Seo-yeon always raised topics with such words..
Then Zhuge Bai talked about various things in Meng..
Of course, within the scope of what I can say..
“At the meeting to select the cabinet minister, a guy who caught the other party's cargo appeared..”
“oh my god. Does the customer say that with a smile??”
“It was absurd.”
this will be happiness.
This must be human life.
Zhuge Byeok built a relationship with the daughter of a guest, even hiding his own identity. And my heart grew in proportion to the time we spent together..
Then one day.
“By the way, when are you going to tell us your identity??”
“Identity.”
“Ah, you touched it. And I would like to ask if you had any intention of hiding it. I'm dying of curiosity because you always try to show off something and then stop..”
Why am I so happy to face someone I can't fool?.
Was he trying to show off his affiliation to her again?.
Many questions arose in Zhuge Byeo's mind, and soon they disappeared..
Zhuge Byeok just said.
“After just a little more.”
It was the first time in my life that I had interacted with people, so I lived happily every day, but even so, I was Zhuge Byeok..
He knew what to say and what not to say..
To be precise, he was afraid that if she found out about his origins, she would get scared and leave..
“Hmm, then I'll wait..”
“Let's keep talking.”
“It is done. I don't want to hear stories about other people's belongings being crushed. Rather, since you interrupted my rest today, please hang out for a day..”
It was a monumental day.
The reason was not that it was his first time going out with her, but that her hand, which was stretched out at the same time as she said those words, overlapped with Zhuge Byeok's hand..
The reason was the heartbeat that Zhuge Byeok felt at that moment..
Yang Min doesn't know anything about martial arts, and his hands are calloused from doing dirty work..
Even though it was a very rough hand, the moment Zhuge Byeok held it, he had to feel his own breathing tremble..
At the age of seventeen, Zhuge Bai realized.
I fell into a love that I couldn't escape from..
*
First love is sweet and bitter.
As someone said, Zhuge Bi's love was so sweet and so bitter..
It's sweet that Go Seo-yeon exists and that we can become human..
Still, it's bitter that I can't promise to spend my life with her..
Zhuge Se, the five pillars of Baekdo Wulin.
As the eldest son and the person who would lead the family in the future, Zhuge Byeok knew that marriage should be chosen with reason, not emotion..
It didn't matter how powerful Sega was..
This was an unavoidable decision because meeting an opponent worthy of Sega's name was directly related to Sega's overall regional dominance..
We'll have to break up someday.
The sweetness of now will become just a momentary memory..
But Zhuge Byeo was afraid of becoming lonely again, so he just avoided it..
“Why are you so depressed??”
“nothing.”
Nineteen-year-old Zhuge Byeo was a foolish man who could not convey his budding love..
He was just a coward who longed for a brief moment of peace, relying on the favor of others..
There were two reasons why this fragile relationship that could break at any moment was maintained..
The first is that Zhuge Byeo has not yet revealed his identity..
Second, Go Seo-yeon was considerate of Zhuge Byeok and did not investigate his identity..
“Do you like today’s meal? Ah, you're right. You look very good?”
It was Go Seo-yeon’s smile..
As I got older, what I yearned for more was her smile and her presence..
Zhuge Byeok absolutely did not want to lose Go Seo-yeon..
Still, I can't bear to reveal my identity, so I feel depressed..
In this way, Li Li and Zhuge Byeok turned twenty..
“there will be war.”
Blood death occurred.
It has become a world where everyone's grief pierces the sky, and it is time for the memories of a sweet day to fade away..
Funny enough, it was an opportunity for Zhuge Byeo..
I thought so at the time.
There was something that the current Zhuge Byeo regretted..
“…have to go to war.”
I shouldn't have done it.
“Or, could you wait? me.”
I shouldn't have said that that day.
If I had done that, I wouldn't have lost Go Seo-yeon..
