The spark beneath the ice
In Mirae's chamber, at midnight, snow falls outside the window, she's sitting on the edge of her bed, reading court documents, but her focus keeps slipping
Soojin
(Leaning in the doorway while holding two cups of coffee)
Soojin
You've been staring at the same paragraph for ten minutes now, if you're going read those damn laws of that outdated kingdom even in your sleep
Soojin
Then I'm snatching your own away
Yoo Mirae
I need to protect them, at least that's what my order from court says
Yoo Mirae
After all every clause is built to protect the crown
Soojin
(teasing) Oh is it?
Soojin
Yet you're only talking about the woman wearing the crown, huh? Not so strange I see
Yoo Mirae
(groans and covers her face) She get under my skin bro, she's smug , unreadable , she acts like she's untouchable
Soojin
(Smirking) So.......you like her?
Yoo Mirae
Whattttt......no
Yoo Mirae
I mean I respect her power but I don't like in any certain way
Soojin
Bloody liar, you talk about her, they way people talks about the storm they want to stand in
Yoo Mirae
(defeated) She looks at me............like she can see through me like I'm hers already
Soojin
And did you want to be?
Yoo Mirae
No...I don't want to want her, she stands for everything I fight against
Soojin
Sometimes the people we are drawn towards are the one who makes us question what we stand for
Mirae looks out the window, lost in thought. In the glass reflection, her own eyes look vulnerable for once, She touches the mark left on her wrist from years ago-a scar from her arrest in Volnova.
Yoo Mirae
(softly, to herself) If she remembers who I was then... and still looks at me like that now... what does that say about her?
Mirae pulling a file from her briefcase-Katya Volnova's classified political record.
She opens it... but doesn't read. Not yet.
