I get a little bit Genghis Khan...

[Aoki Rikuto]

Oh, all of it. Do I look like the type who likes cheek pinches?!

[Hwang Ryeol]

No, but... sometimes I want to do it too. It's because you're so serious.

[Aoki Rikuto]

Somehow, I doubt being less serious would solve this problem.

[Hwang Ryeol]

If only we looked older and more distinguished.

Sometimes I wonder what I'd look like in my 30s or 40s...

[Aoki Rikuto]

I feel like I would be more respected, certainly.

[Hwang Ryeol]

It was nice for the first 100 years or so, looking young. But now I feel like a super old old man stuck in a child's body!

[Aoki Rikuto]

I wonder what your old lover thinks of himself...

[Hwang Ryeol]

Probably the same thing. Trapped. Immortality isn't all it's cracked up to be, I'm afraid.

...I'll have to warn him. Before we leave, I have to let him know what's coming.

[Aoki Rikuto]

He has the freedom to kill himself, though.

Is that what you meant by your loose ends?

[Hwang Ryeol]

So do we, it's just harder for us. We'd have to commit suicide together, I suppose, and I love you too much to watch you kill yourself in front of me.

Gunji isn't a loose end as such but I feel that I owe him at least a warning. Is that all right with you?

[Aoki Rikuto]

You do have such a soft heart.

And not entirely but what do I really have to worry about?

[Hwang Ryeol]

   So do you, my dear.

Nothing will happen. It can't, I'd burn to a crisp if I tried to touch him! My hands would fall off!

[Aoki Rikuto]

Do I? I think only when it comes to you.

But you would if you could...

[Hwang Ryeol]

You sweet-talker...

And I might give him a hug, yes. I might still give him a hug if he doesn't cut my head off.

But I had only 10 years to love him, Riku. And I have had 300 years to love you.

...well, 50 to stop resenting you, I won't lie.

[Aoki Rikuto]

I know. I probably would have resented somebody for doing what I did to you if they were to do it to me.
I thought for some time I had made a mistake.
