00:00The room felt suffocating, heavy with tension as Ji-yoon stood before his father, trembling.
00:06The anger radiating from Sung-min was palpable, and his voice cut through the air like a whip.
00:12Running away, Ji-yoon. Do you have any idea what you've done, he thundered,
00:17his fist slamming against the low wooden table. Do you think the world outside these walls will
00:23spare you? Do you know the risks you bring upon us all with your recklessness?
00:28Ji-yoon flinched but held his ground. His heart was pounding, fear and defiance clashing within him.
00:35He wanted to shout back, to pour out the storm of emotions that had been brewing since his mother's
00:40death. But before he could speak, Dae-hyun stepped into the room, his calm presence like a bomb against
00:47the chaos. Sung-min, Dae-hyun said, his voice steady, the boy has just lost his mother.
00:53Don't you think your anger might be misplaced? He's grieving. Let him breathe. Sung-min glared at his
01:02friend, his jaw tightening, but he stepped back, his rage simmering just below the surface.
01:08Grieving doesn't excuse stupidity, he muttered, though his tone had softened. Ji-yoon couldn't hold
01:14back any longer. The words burst from him, raw and trembling. Grieving. You don't even know what that
01:22feels like, do you, father? His voice cracked, tears brimming in his eyes. When mother died, you didn't
01:30shed a single tear. Not one. She was your wife. Didn't you love her? Don't you love me? Sung-min's
01:40eyes darkened, his face impassive as he listened to his son's anguished words. Ji-yoon took a shaky
01:46step forward, his voice rising. Why do you hate me? Why do you make me live this lie? Dressing me like a
01:55girl, forcing me to be someone I'm not, why, father? Why? Sung-min's silence was deafening. When he finally
02:04spoke, his voice was cold and unyielding. You will know when the time comes. The cryptic answer only
02:11fueled Ji-yoon's frustration. When will that be? What will it take for you to treat me like a human
02:18being? Sung-min's expression hardened, his face a mask of stern authority. Enough, he said sharply.
02:26From now on, your training will be even stricter. You will not question me again. I will make you into
02:33the most beautiful and graceful woman in the country, and you will do as I say. Now leave.
02:40The finality of his words struck Ji-yoon like a blow. His shoulders sagged, and the fight drained out
02:47of him. He turned and stumbled out of the room, tears streaming down his face. That night, Ji-yoon sat in
02:54bed, his heart heavy with sorrow. He clutched the small jade pendant his mother had given him,
03:00the only piece of her he had left. The grief he had been holding back for so long finally spilled over,
03:07and he cried until exhaustion claimed him. But the next morning brought no relief.
03:13As he sat in the courtyard, listlessly plucking at the strings of his gageeum,
03:17he overheard a conversation between his father and Dae-hyun.
03:21Joon-ho has been accepted into the elite academy school, Dae-hyun said, his pride evident.
03:27He leaves in a week. Ji-yoon's fingers froze on the strings. His heart sank at the news.
03:36Joon-ho, his closest friend, the only person who truly understood him, was leaving. The thought was
03:43unbearable, and a sharp pain twisted in his chest as he realized something else, he might never get
03:48the chance to tell Joon-ho how he truly felt. The days leading up to Joon-ho's departure were
03:54bittersweet. Ji-yoon clung to every moment they spent together, trying to memorize the sound of
04:00Joon-ho's laugh, the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled. But the looming shadow of goodbye hung
04:07over them, and Ji-yoon couldn't shake the ache in his heart. One evening, as they sat by the pond
04:13in Ji-yoon's home, Ji-yoon mustered the courage to speak. The words burned on the tip of his tongue,
04:19desperate to be said. Joon-ho, he began hesitantly, his gaze fixed on the rippling water.
04:26There's something I've been wanting to tell you. Joon-ho turned to him, his expression curious but
04:32patient. What is it? Ji-yoon swallowed hard, his chest tightening. He opened his mouth to speak,
04:41but the fear of rejection, of ruining the friendship they shared, was too overwhelming.
04:45He looked away, his voice barely a whisper. I'll miss you. Joon-ho smiled softly, as Ji-yoon rested
04:55his head on his shoulder. I'll miss you too, he said, his voice warm. But this isn't goodbye forever,
05:01Ji-yoon. I'll come back. The reassurance brought little comfort, and Ji-yoon's heart ached with the
05:08weight of unspoken words. The morning of Joon-ho's departure was somber. The family gathered at the
05:15gates, their faces a mix of pride and sadness. Ji-yoon stood silently, his hands clasped tightly
05:23in front of him as he watched Joon-ho prepare to leave. Take care of him, Joon-ho said to his older
05:29brother, Min-suk, with a nod toward Ji-yoon. Don't let him get into too much trouble.
05:35Min-suk chuckled. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him. As the carriage disappeared down the road,
05:43Ji-yoon felt a hollow ache in his chest, as though a part of him had been taken away.
05:48The world seemed quieter, emptier without Joon-ho's presence. That night, as Ji-yoon sat alone in his
05:55room, the weight of his emotions became unbearable. He turned to his painting supplies, pouring his
06:02feelings onto the canvas. Each stroke of the brush was a desperate attempt to capture the memory of
06:08Joon-ho, to hold on to something he could no longer have. The days stretched into weeks, after training,
06:15Ji-yoon spent most of his time hunched over his small wooden desk, a brush in his hand and his heart
06:20heavy with unspoken sorrow. The room smelled faintly of ink and paint, the once crisp scent now a constant
06:27companion to his solitude. Yuna, his tutor, noticed the change in Ji-yoon's demeanor. She watched him
06:35from the doorway one afternoon, her heart aching for the boy who had become like a son to her.
06:40After Ji-yoon's mother passed, Yuna had taken on more than her role as a tutor,
06:45she had become his confidant, his protector in a house where love seemed scarce.
06:50Ji-yoon, she said softly, stepping into the room. Her voice broke his focus, and he looked up,
06:57startled. You've been painting a lot lately. Ji-yoon glanced at the scattered portraits and
07:04quickly averted his gaze. It's nothing, he muttered, his voice barely audible. Yuna knelt beside him,
07:11her gentle hand resting on his shoulder. It's not nothing, she said. You miss him, don't you?
07:19Ji-yoon's lips quivered, but he said nothing. He didn't need to, the pain in his eyes was answer
07:26enough. Yuna sighed, wishing she could take the weight off his fragile shoulders.
07:32I'm sorry, she whispered. I'm sorry, I can't make this easier for you. Ji-yoon shook his head,
07:39forcing a smile that didn't reach his eyes. It's not your fault. None of this is. But Yuna didn't
07:47believe that. She had long blamed herself for not being able to shield Ji-yoon from Sung-min's harsh
07:53expectations. She knew about the secrets Ji-yoon carried, about the identity forced upon him,
08:00and about the feelings he harbored for Joon-ho. She had watched him endure years of quiet suffering,
08:05and it pained her more than she could say. There might be a way, Yuna said hesitantly,
08:11breaking the silence. Ji-yoon's eyes flickered with curiosity. A way for what? To free yourself,
08:20Yuna replied, her voice cautious. I've been involved in a business. It's not exactly legal,
08:28but it's profitable. If you join me and my nephew, in a few years, you could save enough money to leave
08:34this place. To start over. Ji-yoon's heart skipped a beat. What kind of business? Yuna hesitated,
08:44glancing at the door to ensure they were alone. We sell contraband goods, silks, spices, and rare
08:51items that the king hasn't approved. It's dangerous, but it pays well. If you're careful, your father
08:58will never know. Ji-yoon's mind raced. It was risky, yes, but it was also the first glimmer of hope he had
09:06seen in years. I'll do it, he said without hesitation. I'll do whatever it takes. That night, Ji-yoon and
09:15Yuna crept out of the house, their footsteps muffled against the dirt path. The village was quiet,
09:21the only sounds the distant chirping of crickets and the occasional bark of a dog. They made their way
09:27to an abandoned shed on the outskirts of town, where Han-su, Yuna's nephew waited. Han-su was a
09:34little older than Ji-yoon. He was tall and wiry, with sharp features and an easy grin that hinted at
09:41trouble. He leaned casually against a crate of goods, his dark eyes lighting up when he saw Ji-yoon.
09:47So, this is the famous Ji-yoon, he said, a teasing edge to his voice.
09:54Aunt Yuna's been telling me about you. Ji-yoon shifted uncomfortably under Han-su's gaze, feeling
10:00exposed. It's nice to meet you, he said quietly. Han-su stepped closer, his grin widening. I have to say,
10:10you're even more stunning than she described. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were a goddess
10:16walking among us. Han-su, Yuna warned, her tone sharp. This isn't the time. Han-su raised his hands
10:25in mock surrender. All right, all right. I'm just making an observation. They settled into a discussion
10:33about the logistics of Ji-yoon's involvement. Han-su explained the routes, the types of goods they were
10:40dealing with, and the importance of discretion. You'll work at night, he said. Less chance of
10:46anyone noticing. And if you ever feel like you're being watched, you disappear. Understood. Ji-yoon
10:54nodded, his resolve unwavering. Understood. As they walked back to the house, Yuna stopped abruptly,
11:02guilt etched on her face. Ji-yoon, she said softly, I'm sorry for dragging you into this.
11:08I just want to help you, but if it ever becomes too much, tell me. Promise me. Ji-yoon looked at her,
11:17his eyes filled with gratitude. I'm not afraid, Yuna. I can handle this. Thank you for believing
11:25in me. Yuna's heart swelled with pride, but she also felt the weight of what she had done. Just,
11:32don't give your father a reason to suspect anything. Do what he asks, at least for now.
11:38It'll buy us time. Ji-yoon nodded, understanding the importance of maintaining the facade.
11:45He threw himself into his training with newfound determination.
11:49If Sung-min wanted him to become the perfect woman, then that's what he would be, for now.
11:55Months turned into years, and Ji-yoon blossomed under Yuna's guidance. He moved with an elegance that
12:02turned heads, his beauty and grace unmatched in the village. To outsiders, he was the epitome of
12:08femininity, a vision of perfection. But beneath the surface, Ji-yoon was biding his time, working
12:15tirelessly to secure his freedom, his heart locked away with the memories of Jun-ho and the promise of
12:21a life beyond his father's grasp.
