Lia staggered to her feet and wobbly walked down the empty streets. She would just go back home, see her parents who would tell her everything was alright.
She would close her eyes and the next morning, this was just a dream.
Yes, the fact that she thought this was an illusion was actually an illusion.
Lia arrived at home and instantly ran into her parents' sleepy arms. The warmth she sought filled her up.
"What's wrong?" her father was surprised, "aren't you too old?"
Lia shook her head but then started to cry. What was she supposed to do? If only she had spent more time with her family instead of chasing after Min. Why couldn't she realise how stupid she was and how her unrequited love wasn't worth it?
She nestled herself closer to her parents and fell asleep. Her parents looked at each other and then sighed. They couldn't do anything about the stubbornness of their daughter.
The next morning came and Lia refused to go to the palace.
"Did you have a fight with Min?"
