Wilt
The cold morning passes by slowly into a warm shade of golden afternoon but Dahyun who is sitting down on the bench in front of the river hasn't felt all the warmth at all. She felt numb, hurt and most of all disgusted.
How could Nayeon do such thing towards her own female lead?
All the sting from yesterday afternoon felt like an open nightmare for Dahyun. She still remembers how did it happen and she still taste all those bitterness on the tip of her tongue, those hands that held her down like a cage, those dark eyes that stared at her with such a dark desire that even Dahyun herself could still felt it in the back of her head. Dahyun's warm but empty eyes tried to skimmed all the fresh view in front of her as much before she stood up slowly, she walked away from the memorable place between her and Sana.
The unknown character.
Her ballerina shoes clacked on the ground slowly defining the way the petite girl walked so calmly yet so elegantly making all those plants under her turning their direction to greet her. Her beautiful pale skin shine under the golden hour like a fallen angel. But her phase didn't stay long to make her felt peaceful, a loud scream rung out from the mansion entrance where people can see two certain women being tangled on each other like two dogs fighting. Dahyun widen her eyes when she spotted Sana and a swollen cheeks pounding on Nayeon like a madman. Her heart racing as Nayeon turned to slapped Sana away hard.
"Stop it!!" Jeongyeon and the other guards came to meddled between the two getting each other off.
All the maids and servants around there became a chaos, most of them tried to run or stay away from the fight which is understandable but Dahyun hurried to see them close and that is when Duke Im came from the inside feeling mad and disapointment. The guards had successfully unbind them together, everything suddenly became quiet.
"What is going on in here!!?"
"Father!!" Nayeon and Sana screamed together in unison. But Nayeon suddenly cough blood gaining gasps and shocks from everyone.
"What is going on?!" Duchess Im appeared next running towards her daughter with terror and worries all over her face.
Jeongyeon came near Sana trying to support the lady who was about to collapse on the ground. There were a mess everywhere, Sana who is still im her duty outfit from yesterday became messy and so hard to look at. Dahyun didn't wake Sana up because she thought the older woman would needs more rest after came all the way from the capital city but she didn't expect to coming back for this.
Before that scene.
Sana woke up from her tiring sleep feeling like someone threw a cold bucket of water on her, she turned to find Dahyun but there is no one beside her at all but a neat folded pillow and fragrance duvets. She stood up slowly trying to adjust to all the tiredness inside her own body, once she could set her eyes on the aspect of the room, Sana found herself smiled gently seeing those view of Dahyun's bedroom. How could someone be this beautiful with everything?
Sana walked out of the house again trying to track Dahyun but she found no one which left her confused. The tall like giraft woman bend down slightly to wash her face with water contained inside the bamboo bucket. If it was the Minatozaki years ago before meeting Dahyun, Sana would be so disgust with herself right now with all the damp clothes from yesterday event and those un-wash body. Once she found herself back to the present again, Sana walked slowly towards the mansion wanting to take a full shower. While her mind is occupied with Dahyun, she suddenly spotted what seem to be Nayeon walking back from the annex..freely..as if nothing had happened to Dahyun.
Sana could feel her anger rising, blood rushing towards her brain as her world seems to stop. Without much explaination to do, she rushed towards Nayeon with her fist up in a tight ball knocked Nayeon to the ground with the force.
"What the fuck??!"
Nayeon shouted out feeling her own cheekbone burned and sore, she looked up to see Sana with those furious eyes, the oldest woman clamped Sana's hands down then she threw a fist back to Sana in a more force knocking Sana off of her. The two women jumped on each other trying to do those damages to each other like the angry dogs. The loud sounds attracting many maids and gardener around there, some ran off to report and some ran to separate the two.

"I'm asking again, what happened?"
Duke Im's voice sent a shiver down everyone including Dahyun who he look at her from time to time. She knows why Sana fought Nayeon and it is her. Dahyun felt both warm yet she felt bad for getting Sana into this mess, her soft lips twitched slightly when she can feel the familiar warm gaze that is owned by Sana.
"This woman, father." Sana pointed at Nayeon while blood beginning to drip from her own damaged lower lip.
"This honorable daughter of yours had raped the girl I love!" Sana then pointed at Dahyun while she felt herself shaking.
Gasps and murmurs ran through the hallway that it made Dahyun too uncomfortable to even look up and face Jeongyeon besides her. Shame ran down her own body and she felt her tears started to seek out in the side of her eyes.
"So what!? That girl is nothing but a property of mine and You, Sana. You have no right over what I did or didn't do."
"Enough, Nayeon!" Everyone including Nayeon went quiet, Duke Im signaled the guards to guide both of his daughters inside the mansion even with Sana's protest but the woman was so weak to make another scene right now. Dahyun watched everything with a heavy heart and silence tears on her cheeks.
When the environment is finally peaceful again, Duke Im turned to face Dahyun ignoring Jeongyeon who is holding Dahyun's shoulders trying to comfort her. The elderly man relaxed his eyes then he turned towards his first wife who looked back at him just the same.
"We will need you to have a tea with us, young lady."
As the minutes tingling by, Dahyun felt the tension that is keep spinning on and on again which make her head dizzy and the bitterness agaisnt her tongue and too much. The tea room is quiet with Duke Im stared at her every minute and then, she gripped the hem of her skirt tightly afraid of what is to come next.
"We don't know how to make this up to you, Dahyun." Her breath hitched.
"But we have two options, it's either you choosing Nayeon or not both." Dahyun's heart skipped a beat.
"Because Nayeon had already has accessed to you and Sana is still young, she has a brighter future than this. She has a brighter than you, Dahyun."
