꧁ ༺♔ ༻ ꧂

It had been so many, many years since you had last seen each other. You had probably forgotten. But he hadn't forgotten.

✧

Jun Zhi wasn't sure if what he felt was truly betrayal, but it probably was. He remembered it all with painful precision. He dedicated statues and tapestries in his palace to you. He thought about you whenever he had a free minute, even against his will. He yearned for you. He hoped that one day he would wake up from this nightmare and find himself in his native village as a strange, grimy boy.

But every day he saw only the cold halls of the Crystal Palace, empty and smelling of funeral incense. The village had long been destroyed, and he had not been the same for a long time.

You didn't come.

So be it. How were you supposed to know that he was alive? That he was yearning and waiting, somewhere deep in his soul, without admitting it even to himself?..
