At the hwarang ceremony the queen took the sword to end it when the doors suddenly opened. Sunwoo and Jidiwi went forward while Jinyoen went to Ahro.

"What happened "? Questioned Ahro. "I'll tell you later."

Jidiwi went front and took the sword from Wi hwa." 'Hwarang Jidiwi ! I shall accept the royal decree" After him was Sunwoo's turn.  Jinyoen felt proud of him. When they were on home Jinyoen told Ahro about what happened to them. Ahro was relieved to found that both Sunwoo and Jinyoen were alright. Since Sunwoo going to the Hwarang house tomorrow Jinyoen decided to stay at Ahro's home.

Jinyoen looked at Sunwoo's room wondering whether going in or not. When she saw he was sleeping she went to his bed and took his hand. She began to apply medicine in the wound. 

"Orabeoni, thank you very much for earlier for saving me. When my brother died I taught myself that I have another brother too. If my brother were here he would say that he owes you. Thank you. Thank you for coming back. I've lost so many people I loved. When you said that man to kill you to protect me I-I couldn't hold it. I thought I lost you too. So, please orabeoni don't get hurt. I can't see you in pain" Jinyoen grabbed the medical box preparing to leave. And then Sunwoo's hand grabbed her.

"I was afraid of you. I am afraid that I will hurt you and be unable to protect you. I have two sisters who are like my eyes. Don't think you are alone. Because you are not alone" Sunwoo  felt water dropping his hand. He knew she was crying. He kissed her forehead. For the first time after ten years Jinyoen felt her brother was back.

                                                                      ...

" Is he still asleep?" Jinyoen questioned Ahro. Jinyoen was walking up and down pulling the pearl neckless that she was wearing. Ahro smiled at her child like attitude.

"Why he is talking so long. You know what Ahro I'm going to say hello to Dara" Jinyoen ran to her house. Jinyoen and Ahro were looking at parade with a proud look at their faces. They continued waving Sunwoo. Jinyoen was particularly jumping."Jin, I need to buy some medicine. Can you wait for me near to the bridge." Jinyoen nodded her head while waving. Sooho winked at Jinyoen and she waved him. Jinyoen was on her way home when she remembered about Ahro. So, she ran near to the bridge. She trapped her own feet but someone caught her by waist before falling down. She looked up and saw Jidiwi was looking at her. She got away from him.

"Thank you for catching me"

"Well, you should thank me for yesterday too."

"I was afraid yesterday so, I kind of forgot. Thank you for yesterday "

" Well, it made me happy to know that you care for me"

"Who told you that? I don't"

"You did hug me yesterday telling how worried you were"

"I mean about Sunwoo. Not you"

"Really! But you looked worried when I told you and Sunwoo to leave without me"

"Wh-what. N-no I wasn't. I- I need to go." Jinyoen ran away from Jidiwi wanting to hide the blush in  her face. Jidiwi stared at her till she vanished from his site. His eyes caught something shining where Jinyoen once stood. He picked it up. It was a small hair pin which had made by small pearls. Jidiwi smiled and left with the pin knowing it belong to Jinyoen.
