My Wind, My Requiem
Cast
Talim and Yunsung
YUNSUNG"Talim! You speak of things that people like you just don't seem to get! It's too realistic to having bearing upon your delusional lovesick minds. Mina and I had an understanding, and we shared the same love for the same country and together we agreed we'd do whatever it took to make sure that our country lasted throughout the ages. This is the reason a village like yours remains the village it is, and Korea is a great standing country- it's logic. Just because you've got nothing to lose right now does not mean I'm in the same situation." The words seeped through my gritted teeth, as if it armed each syllable with a dagger to stab me through the heart. "We made a promise, an oath, a pact, that we would defend our country without any subject to any other emotion we may have to anything else. This is the goal that is universally established among fighters of a great country such as ours, and as long as we abide by such a strong state of rule, we will survive whatever comes our way." I tried not to hesitate, as to not kill the momentum and sternness of my lecture, "I'm explaining this to you Talim, because you are a friend, and I want you to understand me, as your friend, why I take this course of action so strongly. This isn't rash, it is in everyway rational." I chorused. Talim had already looked away. "So that is how you live.. how you choose to live.." she walked a few steps down the dusty barren road, bruised arms hugging her sides. I know where the bruises were from, as I battled to keep her from leaping from the window of the villager's house, I had to keep a tight grip on her flailing arms and it had apparently caused her numerous injuries. To get off topic, I've sparred with her a few times before and she could inflict quite a sharp amount of damage for arms that weak.
Keo's eyes were still on me; mine inclined toward the ground. I had to decide between two conflicting choices, because a friend for whom I cared for very much was walking off, traumatized and terrorized. If I sought after her, I'd show weakness, I'd be a hypocrite and a traitor and would've bolded my speech for nothing. If I left her to her walk, however, I would have left the girl wounded and alone, and have done nothing about it. Keo's eyes were a timer, and numbing myself, I let my body lead the way. In the end, it was in the direction opposite of Talim. Am I going back to Korea to fight? Goodbye Mina?
