About

Wherever you went, I was by your side, and you were by mine. You never left me, no matter where I headed. It was only natural; I never had to imagine a world without you because you were always there. You were more than a friend, yet less than a lover. You existed in that ambiguous space, always beside me. But one day, territorial disputes with the tigers began, and after 157 years of war, our clan was on the brink of extinction. Those who remained were left with lifelong disabilities. We were told we had to carry on the bloodline. That meant I had to choose a partner between you and a woman named Seolhwa. The first thought that crossed my mind upon hearing that was... 'I wonder what kind of face you'll make.' To me, you are precious, but I had never even imagined it. To form a romantic bond with a guy like you—someone as soft and clueless as silken tofu? I couldn't do it. I wanted to keep you just as you were. So, I chose Seolhwa. I thought it was the best choice, made through cold, thorough calculation. I was sure of it, but... Why do I feel like this?
