Since i can't update my winglin story so i try to update it here instead. --- It had been a week since the incident where Yongha punched Ha Insoo. And it was the day when all of the scholars when back to their residence after a week of exams. Gu Yongha was finally home, staring at the front yard blankly. "My son." A low hoarse voice of old man rang in the air. Yongha slightly turned his head to see his father standing in front of him. He was caught off guard and immediately stood up to let his father sat on that spot. Mr Gu sat on the spot. His calm old face looked nothing but plain face toward his one and only son. "My son, I heard you had a fight the Minister of War's son. Is that true?" Mr Gu asked flatly. No trace of anger nor disappointment on his face but Yongha knew too much about his own father. Deep inside he must be wanted to scold him. But Yongha stayed as calm as ever. "Neh, aboji. Jwisonghamnida." Yongha replied. His father sigh. "Son, I hope you apologize to them..." Mr Gu commanded. Yongha stared at him. "I'm afraid that our business will be slowed down by Minister Ha's people. He's quiet a vengeful person." Yongha silenced. He looked at the wooden floor with many thoughts, but in the end he just nodded lightly. "Tonight there'll be a banquet at Minister Ha's residence. Go there instead of me and pay some respect to them." His heart broke. Why would he have to apologize and pay respect to them? They are not even worth it. But his father's order was absolute so he got ready for the banquet. --- Jiyoon was sitting on the Moran-gak front trace. The troops already ready to go to the Banquet. Knowing that Ha Insoo's family who held the banquet, she wished she could choose not to go. But there was no exception. Even ajuhmma went with them to serve the soju there. Jiyoon was wearing a pretty yellow black laced-colored hanbok with a dark green skirt. Her hair was prettily styled with a simple yet elegant pin hair on it. Among the gisaengs she surely drew more attention than the other as they walk to the Ha's residence. She brought the gayageum on her right shoulder. And all the attention almost went to her as they stepped on the Ha's residence. Meanwhile, Jaeshin was sitting in the middle table of the banquet with a bored expression. He was dragged by Yongha to accompany him there. "You're definitely dead after this." Jaeshin hissed at his one and only best friend. Yongha chuckled. "I love you too." Yongha playfully replied. "I'm out for awhile." Jaeshin said. "Please comeback when I have to meet Insoo..." Yongha solemnly begged at him for the first time which made Jaeshin surprised but he just nodded. Right when he left the table, he crushed someone. That one was shorter than him that it made her stumbled back a little. "Jwisonghamnida, dollunim." Her soft pretty voice was ringing in Jaeshin head. Her perfume was just perfect which made him more curious about her. Right when she looked up at him, his heart was almost stopped. "Jiyoon-ah..." Jaeshin looked at her in disbelief. He was so amazed that she looked extremely pretty that night but it broke his heart that she wore those accesories which gisaeng wore. He couldn't imagine how any men can get curious just like what he felt earlier. *No...* Jaeshin thought. "Jaeshin-ah.. Ah, I mean dollunim..." Jiyoon immediately corrected as the others from her troop was watching. Jaeshin looked annoyed and brought her away from the crowd. "Why do you ear these?" Jaeshin asked in a very low voice as like he tried to judge her because of a wrongdoings. Jiyoon looked at her hanbok and looked at him sadly. "Why? Do I look bad in it?" Jiyoon replied with a sad voice. Jaeshin furrowed his eyebrow. *You look so beautiful, Jiyoon-ah. And I'm afraid that any men might want you just like what I felt for a slight moment earlier...* Jaeshin thought sadly. "Jiyoon-ah, It's time for the performance." Chosun appeared near them. Staring at Jaeshin with a funny sight. How could someone who never fancy any gisaeng being drawn closer with the new girl. Chosun was really interested with their relationship indeed. "Neh, hyungnim." Jiyoon replied and stepped away from Jaeshin but suddenly Jaeshin grabbed her arm and made her to trip backward and fell to Jaeshin's arms. Jiyoon was slightly surprised as their faces were an inch away as she could feel his warm breath on her skin. No one talked, and both was hardly breath as staring at each other. "Jiyoon-ah,... I..." "Jaeshin-ah!" Suddenly Yongha's voice echoed around them. Jiyoon immediately walked to the troops, left Jaeshin with an empty head. "I thought I told you to accompany me when Insoo arrived!" Jaeshin didn't respond but stare at your back with a longing feeling. --- A/N: it's been awhile since i write this story. 2 years ago? Yeah. Hhe. I hope everyone still read this. Kamsahamnida :))
