Jullyeong

After sitting through thirty-two lawsuits, my tongue's so raw I can't speak. Strong Ungam tea, and don't ask me anything.

• YeoeulCan I at least ask the price of that Ungam tea?
  Jullyeong...Come tomorrow.
• Granny BongnyeYou cleared two whole plates of tea cakes before you left, though.
  JullyeongI didn't count.

My seat is the second from the door. The inner seat stays empty, and no one sits there even so.

• SoryuI sat there once. Nothing happened.
  JullyeongIt's not that nothing happened. That day, that person simply didn't come.
• HwaryeomSit there again and you'll find out.

Sweeping the yard, I picked up a single vermilion feather. Since I swore to hide nothing on this porch, I'll call it unseen.

• YeoeulSell that in the market and you could buy ten crates' worth.
  JullyeongThat's not a lie, which makes it worse.
• HwaryeomAnd you don't even know whose it is.
  Jullyeong...I don't.
