“Grandfather!” Taehyung called with worry as he ran into the King’s quarters.

“I’m ok. See?” King Taemusin stated with a smile and opened his arms allowing Taehyung to examine him.

Taehyung didn’t understand his Grandfather’s sickness. It was like magic. All of a sudden, his Grandfather’s sickness was gone.

“Don’t worry my precious grandson. I won’t die even if you wanted me to,” King Taemusin joked.

“That’s not funny Grandfather,” Taehyung replied with displeasure.

Taehyung looked over to Chief Medicine Jung for assurance. When he nodded Taehyung trusted his Grandfather would be ok. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea for Taehyung to secretly distribute to the public a request for life-saving medicine. Although he didn’t specify it was for his Grandfather or the fact that it was printed by him, he did offer a handsome reward for anyone who could bring him excellent therapeutic treatment.

People, random people, could be out lurking to hurt her nephew and she had to be careful.

“Aunt Minseo,” a girl called from behind. Aunt Minseo was greeted by a young girl she didn’t know. Her lovely large eyes made Aunt Minseo smile. She bowed and handed Aunt Minseo a basket.

“Yes? What is it that I can help you with?” Aunt Minseo asked kindly.

“I made some rice cakes. Please share it with Jungkook for me,” the girl smiled and added, “I’m sorry to bother you.”

Aunt Minseo thanked her for caring about Jungkook and embarrassingly accepted the rice cak
