Lady Song Hye-Kyo would be coming tomorrow. Dara and the others had been in her mansion for three days now. They were treated as guests by everyone and allowed access to every part of the mansion with the exception of Lady Hye-Kyo's private bedchambers and library.

Lady Hye-Kyo's mansion was just a short ride away to Tarallen, the capital city of Yore. Yoochun took advantage of this to buy some supplies for himself and their group. Bom and Junsu went sightseeing. Cloud, as usual, went gossip hunting.

Jaejoong had decided to remain in the mansion. He didn't tell Dara to stay, but she chose to remain beside him because she couldn't help but worry. The Cult of SooHyuk had eyes everywhere. She was sure that the cult already knew where Jaejoong was right now.

"Are you expecting an attack from the Cult of SooHyuk?" asked Dara. She took her eyes off from their departing comrades. Despite Jaejoong's smile, she could sense something was troubling him.

Dara colored.

"Is that all you think about?" she chastised him, though there was no anger in her voice. "Shouldn't we go sightseeing or something? Yore has a lot of beautiful sights to offer. According to Cloud, a well-known restaurant in the town of Ysmir serves this wonderful soup that turn ordinary men into mighty warriors at night."

"Dara, I don't need such soup."

"Maybe, I need one," she murmured.

 Jaejoong laughed. The shadow of worry in his eyes disappeared.

"We shouldn't waste our time talking when we could be doing something else. Once Lady Hye-Kyo arrives, we would have no time for each other. I suspect that one of the rea
