IM LAUGHING THROUGH MY TEARS i can't believe i was like "i lwk want soojeong to get infected so that eunchan can regret it and feel emotional about it" AS A JOKE AND IT FUCKING HAPPENED I ACTUALLY STARTED TEARING UP WTF
im genuinely so glad this was a happy ending im so emo over this
that's what im wondering too!! im thinking it probably has something to do with when Abel + the prince met the king in the forest and the burning of the forest potentially snapping the king out of whatever trance/control he was under (most likely temporarily before the officials re-influence him)
LETS GOOOOOOO WE'RE SO BACK
