Facing her old friend for the first time in quite a while, Hwayeong began chatting away.
“I was just about to go find you. You arrived at the perfect time.”
“I didn’t see you anywhere, so I asked around and found my way here. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? A year?”
“Oh, has it been that long already?”
“Yeah, it’s been a year since we last ran into each other at the market last spring.”
‘You’re right, I remember now,’ Hwayeong recalled to herself.
Although they had been inseparable in childhood, they had grown distant over the past three years, only hearing about each other occasionally.
The last time they had met was by chance at the market last spring, and after that, they hadn’t heard much from each other.
“How are Master Jangbaek and your mother?”
“They’re both doing well. But how did you end up in the palace?”
