Okjeo Part I
Bamboo BloomMinji sat while smiling. She looked at the group of young troops who trained their sword skills. She especially looked at Yedam who seriously trained his skill. She didn’t believe that the playful boy will become this serious.
“Okay, that’s finish for now. Go have your lunch. Yedam, go get water after your lunch,” Tao said. He usually didn’t train the troops personally, but once a while he came to see them.
“Yes commander!” Yedam said in serious tone.
“Woah, he becomes more mature,” Minji mumbled. Yedam then looked at Minji’s direction. He didn’t realize Minji was there until he saw her just now.
“Minji hyung!” Yedam said then ran to the girl who sat not far from them. Minji smiled then welcomed the younger boy with a hug.
‘She forgot that she is a girl,’ Tao thought. He was a bit annoyed, but he understood that Yedam missed her. He trained really seriously since he came here. He never met Minji or Yongguk.
“I bring this,” Minji said then gave Yedam the rice cake.
“Namjoo noonim?” Yedam asked. Minji nodded. “Your favorites,” Minji added. Yedam smiled widely then sat beside Minji while eating the rice cake. Minji then looked at Tao who kept looking at her direction.
“Come here, eat with us,” Minji said. Yedam then looked at who was Minji talking to.
“I have more here,” Minji said then showed another bag.
“Woah, daebak hyung. Namjoo noonim really falls for you. Look at these rice cake,” Yedam said. The imagination of Minji was liked by a girl made Tao pity both of party.
‘I wonder if she knows what’s being liked is,’ Tao thought. He then walked to sit beside Minji and ate his rice cake.
“Falls my . I bought these with my money,” Minji said while knocking the younger boy head. Yedam just laughed it off.
“Ah hyung. By the way, have you seen Yongguk hyung?” Yedam asked. Minji just shook her head.
“I want to see him too, but this Commander of yours sent him away,” Minji said referring Tao ordered Youngguk to observe the situation in Jeonju before sending an official troop.
After they did some talks, Yedam bided a goodbye because he needed to take some water. He didn’t want to be a burden to his hyung nor Minji. That’s why he worked really hard.
“Why don’t you nagged at me that I made your dongsaeng take water?” Tao said after Yedam left.
“Well, indeed he needed to trained his strength and stamina,” Minji said.
“What are you doing after this?” Tao asked. He was surprised by himself, why did he ask this? It sounds like he was asking for a date.
“I want to go with you to some place,” Minji said and succeeded making choked. Minji smiled while looking at blushing boy beside her.

Tao stood and glared at the girl who busy reading. Well, it’s not her fault that he disappointed. He didn’t understand himself why did he imagined unnecessary thing.
“I am happy you are willing to help me without any question. I can’t enter this library,” Minji said. Only some people had access to palace. She needed to confirm something here, that’s why she needed to go to this library.
“Well, what are you looking for?” Tao finally asked. He finally realized to his mission, to know the reason why Minji disguised herself as a man.
“Four years ago, some troops come to the small village in the hills, I was wondering what their mission is back then,” Minji said while reading some report about events in 4 years ago.
“I am not sure. Too many events happened in four years ago. That was when the war with Hongje become worse. They might tried to find a spy from Hongje,” Tao said.
“But that was a hill, when just a few people come and go,” Minji said. Tao then thought about the events that might happened in the hills.
“I am not too sure about that. I wasn’t the commander 4 years ago, so I don’t know all troops activity. Some groups move separately depending whose the vice commander were,” Tao trained to explain. Minji nodded.
If Tao didn’t know about this, it must be a secret mission that be held by only some groups.
“Why did the search stopped in 4 years ago?” Minji asked when she didn’t see any report about searching for spies after that year.
“If I am not mistaken, the commander had assassinated all the spies,” Tao said. Minji looked at
