Hwirang

I was told again today that I smiled well. I thought it was a compliment.

• YeollanYour Majesty's smile is the most expensive thing in this palace.
  HwirangI'm the one who pays for it. Why does it end up belonging to someone else?
• SeorihanA smile isn't a lie. That's why it's the only thing you use.
  HwirangAutumn is a guest here, yet it talks like it owns the place.

One white stone is always missing from the same spot. I've decided not to count how many times I've laid my hand on that empty place.

• YeollanThat was once a board you played with me.
  HwirangThat much is true.
• DurangSo where'd that stone go?
