Episode 665
“…Uh… I wonder if you were peeling it last time…”
Sima Hui remembered.
The days of fixing facial scars on patients and passing on the techniques, saying that fixing pimple marks is a skill.
Everyone was frantic as to why they were peeling such a precious piece of land.
First of all, the question was whether we could get to that point.
As for Sima Hye… it’s barely possible, but I haven’t even thought about it.
It’s just crazy hard.
Eun-gong and Baek-rin-ui-seon are full of talent and elixir, so they have a lot of inner strength, and those martial arts people are people who have crossed between life and death, so they can pat themselves on the shoulder and say, ‘I’m a little tired.’
As for Sima Hui… there is no such thing.
So it was much slower, took a lot more rest, and was much less efficient.
“Jeemo…? Hair removal? “Are you doing that again to get rid of the hair?”
“The gist of it is similar. All you have to do is practice. Even if I don’t, I’ve prepared a guinea pig! The verification that could take several months has already been completed, so the teacher and I can do it right away. Now all you have to do is come!”
Roughly… Sima Hye said after hearing the story from Eungong.
“Ah… if that’s the case, I should definitely do parts like the chest. “It’s not a life-threatening situation, and I’ll have to keep removing my hair.”
“okay. Hey Hye! Well said. “If this is successful, it can change a patient’s life.”
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes lit up.
Sima Hui asked back.
“But… what if it’s a curse or something? What if the hair grows back?”
“….”
Jin Cheonhee’s shoulders slumped.
It’s so pitiful.
Sima Hui said.
“Would you like to have an exorcism before the procedure?”
“Do you want what we do to not be a curse? “It must be an unscientific consciousness that hopes it is a scientific disease.”
JE-SA, a folk song that hopes to be scientific.
Jin Cheon-hee nodded, wondering what kind of nonsense this was.
“okay. I have to do it. “I stay in front of the research center every spring anyway.”
The laboratory is supposed to kill even bear bugs that survive on the moon, but if we do this well, I feel like the kids are growing up better.
Isn’t this a world ruled by Yin-Yang and the Five Elements and Feng Shui?
Jin Cheon-hee held a traditional ceremony with Sima-hye to pray for science.
* * *
The long-awaited surgery day has arrived.
The facial hair was shaved off in advance to expose the hair roots so that they could be clearly seen.
Rather than cutting it completely, I shaved it off, leaving about 3mm to 5mm (based on Earth’s standards).
Before the actual treatment.
Jin Cheon-hee handed Ga-wol a mirror.
Ga-Wol… forced herself to muster up the courage to look into her own face.
Also, cover the mirror for a moment and put it down.
“It’s so ugly. Since there is some hair left, it looks like chicken skin and is even more disgusting. “Oh, I’m so upset.”
Sima Hye and the other lawmakers next to him were slightly surprised by the explicit self-torture.
The family of the eight imperial families.
I didn’t know that the heir would be this hurt.
‘I can’t help it. If you meet kids your own age, you’ll only get hurt…’
As Sima Hye remembered, she wasn’t any nicer just because she was younger.
On the contrary, because he had so much ego within himself, he was immature in how to respect the feelings of others.
You can only learn to tolerate things you don’t like.
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“How can I do your eyebrows? “That part has to be left behind.”
“….”
He didn’t even tell me to stop talking like that or comfort me.
Just give priority to what you need to say.
Ga-Wol is worried. Then suddenly I saw Sima Hui.
She had a pretty face and pretty eyebrows.
I don’t feel jealous.
In traditional fairy tales, ugly people like themselves get jealous of pretty people and are later punished.
But in reality, I don’t even have the energy to dare to be jealous.
Even if I think about wanting to be you just for a day, I feel a bit miserable, so I try not to think about it.
And they just say that since you are ugly, you should at least live a nice life.
In the past, I tried to force myself to act bright or funny, but even that didn’t get a good response, so I gave up.
Suddenly, I saw Jin Cheonhee’s eyebrows.
Eyebrows with a soft and gentle look.
However, his personality is neither soft nor gentle.
Knowing that makes it even harder.
Jin Cheon-hee said.
“If you can’t think of anything else, just do it in moderation…”
“…Please use eyebrows that resemble your mother’s.”
“….”
Jin Cheonhee’s eyes widened slightly.
It was worth it.
Even foreign lawmakers know very well what their mother thinks of them.
But still, I can’t let go of my affection.
“I wish I had the same eyebrows as my mother.”
“…All right.”
If my daughter had similar eyebrows, wouldn’t she remember her even if her hair grew back?
Sima Hui couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked.
“Can I ask just one fish?”
I know it’s rude. However, as someone who participated in this event, I felt that I could ask this much.
“Originally, they said they were going to test it on the arm beforehand, but I’m curious as to why they refused.”
Garwal answered.
“Undoubtedly, the shorter and more intense the despair, the better.”
“That’s…”
“Rather than falling awkwardly, it’s easier to clear your mind if you just fall properly.”
It was a strange philosophy.
But somehow I felt like I could understand it.
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“Then I will draw you to resemble your mother as much as possible.”
Another councilor walked forward and furrowed his eyebrows.
Jin Cheon-hee answered.
“The patient said that it would be easier to get his mind in order if he fell properly, but my opinion is a little different.”
The voice was business-like, but the tone conveyed a strange warmth.
Jin Cheon-hee continued.
“Nevertheless, if you achieve it and stand up, you will never forget it for the rest of your life.”
“….”
“I think that experience is what makes a person alive.”
Jin Cheon-hee, an adult, said to Ga-wol, a child.
That was also what he said to Jin Cheon-hee, who was a child.
“Let’s finish well and eat something delicious.”
“…If it’s delicious…?”
“What do you like? Do you like sweet and fattening foods? “I like it.”
A little tired, but with a cheerful voice.
Daylight was still daylight.

In the words of Seonhyeon, the inside of a human being is more important than the beauty of the outside.
It would be great if there were more wonderful people like that, but the majority of people used to value what they see and decide their actions based on what they see.
Actually, it was.
Because the eyes are the window to the heart.
The eyes always move first, and then reason takes over.
But in the end, even just to the extent of not expressing disgust is great.
‘In the end, everything in the world does not go as Seonhyeon said.’
It’s not an ugly face, it’s a face that isn’t human.
Ga-Wol laughed bitterly.
After waking up from the horoscope, she did not look in the mirror.
It was to not have hope.
I didn’t even meet my mother.
Because I’m sure you’ll be looking forward to it.
I still love my mother.
Just as a chick follows the first person it sees, it seems inevitable that a child follows its parents because it is an instinct.
But on the other hand, I don’t see any reason to hate her.
Even if her mother cherishes her and solidifies her position as the heir, the answer is annihilation because the family will not be able to function properly as the head of the family.
If the family is exterminated, if Ga-wol himself loses his head, what meaning would there be in that sympathy?
Ga-Wol opened the chilhyeongeum and read the book.
One of the many outbuildings of Baekrin Uigak.
Since I often have to be hospitalized for long periods of time, it wasn’t a big problem.
My mother also gave permission.
This meant that since it was the last chance, I really had to do my best.
suddenly.
It occurred to me that this was not just Ga-Wol’s story, but also my mother’s story.
‘If my mother had to go through the process of giving up… if that’s the case…’
My heart felt a little sweeter.
But again, I tried not to get excited.
“I brought you sweet egg rolls today~ The condition is also… shall I take a look?”
This room doesn’t have any mirrors.
Only daylight would come and give us something delicious.
“Please don’t tell me about the condition of my face.”
Garwal spoke again.
Ilgwang nodded.
“I understand. If you’re curious, ask. But you can probably tell by looking at your own limbs, right?”
“saw. “But I’m so excited… I’m not going to watch it.”
“Hmm. great. “Are you worried that the hair might grow back?”
Ga-Wol nodded.
* * *
So time passed.
She looks at the back of her hand.
It turned dark.
But perhaps it’s just my mood, I feel like I’ve grown less than before.
The hair is also becoming sparse.
Does that mean that his face is like that now?
I can not know. But I’m afraid to ask, so I grit my teeth again.
I’m still afraid to look in the mirror. I knew it was stupid.
But old wounds were pulling at me.
There’s only one thing she can do.
Spending time. To be alive until then.
undergo the treatment again.
And then I spent some time picking chilhyeongeum again.
‘Will my mother abandon me?’
I can not know.
‘Am I of no use?’
Even if that were the case, I decided not to die.
Diriririn-
One day, Jin Cheonhee approached her again.
“I think the patient is just complacent about this situation because he is scared of coming to a conclusion.”
Before anything is decided.
That state.
Aspiring actors, aspiring idols, so many aspiring actors in this world.
There are people who give up and go out and become professionals, or there are people who realize their limitations and look into other professions.
There are cases where an applicant for a job that does not produce results through a test like a public examination wants to go through that ambiguous stage before the conclusion is confirmed.
It is a lukewarm hope.
‘The ending is painful. ‘I want to run away.’
Obsessive hope.
One thing is certain.
It took courage to come to a conclusion.
And what she needed was a mirror.
It’s covered with cloth, so you can’t see anything yet, but the fact that he brought it means that he’s determined.
“It means you did everything you could.”
At some point, the bird has to break the egg and go out.
A bird that doesn’t do that will just die in its egg.
“yes. That’s right.”
Does she really have the courage to do that?
However, you cannot live in the royal palace forever.
Whether treated or not, the patient has to leave at some point.
“Call me if you need anything. “Okay?”
The man spoke cheerfully, mercilessly crushing my lukewarm hopes.
“….”
The place where Jin Cheon-hee left.
Ga-Wol looks at the pitch-black mirror for a long time.
My heart is tingling.
It was something she had avoided her whole life. The thing that has been cursed the most.
All the despair of the world was there.
The lawmaker who left it was scolded, but at the same time, I felt that there was nothing I could do.
‘Are you asking me to come to a conclusion?’
Surprisingly, the man was able to see through her shallow intentions so coldly.
Nevertheless, it does not offend or embarrass you.
He just smiles and pushes my back.
Is that in front of us a cliff?
What if my facial hair doesn’t disappear?
What if people laugh at me again, saying I will be like an animal for the rest of my life?
‘It was really comfortable here.’
Because this is not her house.
Eventually, Ga-Wol makes a decision.
The hesitation didn’t take long. Because she knows this is strange.
I mustered up courage and hesitantly lifted up the mirror.
As he peeled off the cloth, what was reflected there was…his own face.
“…It’s ugly.”
The first word I said to the woman I was staring at.
Then, he let out the wail that had been in his throat for a long time.
A cry echoes through the bamboo field.
It was the scream of life.
