Chapter 59
While Hanyang was bustling with the new political changes, Baekjung festival sneaked up on them. In the blink of an eye, it was already the fifteenth day of the seventh month and Yoon-Yi found herself thinking more and more about her former life. She remembered her past, or rather it was her future? At this point, it was difficult for her to decide which one was the correct form to address her life in the 21st century.
Images of her mother and grandfather flashed through her mind as soon as she woke up that morning. It surprised her to see those familiar faces and a pang of regret and sorrow shot through her heart. She felt a heavy burden settling on her chest. Even though she loved Shin and never wanted to leave him, in that moment she realized just how much she actually missed her family.
