"Two hours have passed already.  Why isn't he waking up?" Jinyoen gently shake Jidiwi to wake him up. But he turned other side and put his arm around Jinyoen's waist.  She felt her face was burning. She shake him harder. He woke up and glared at her.

"The person you kept searching for is locked in a room in downstairs"

Jinyoen took her medicine box and went to find Sunwoo.  Sunwoo looked like a mess. Jinyoen couldn't help but cry. She ran in and hugged him.

"Why did you do that? Why?"

"They said some bad things about Ahro I couldn't hold back. " Jinyoen started to apply medicine to his wounds. 

"I did warn you about this. If you want to survive here you have to control your anger.  I know you don't like it. But we can't do anything orabeoni.  And Ahro doesn't like you getting on fights because of her. I told you not to get hurt.  I won't tell Ahro about this but other time I will. I need to go back. Be careful orabeoni.  I love you"  Jinyoen left him alone in the room.

Next day morning when Jinyoen was treating to a man who had burned his hand, Pi Jooki asked, "Didn't you tell him that you are the physician here my lady?"

"No, I didn't. But I will tell him before he heard it from another one"

Jinyoen was resting at the physician's room when she bumped in to Sunwoo. She closed the door before he came inside. She held the doorlock tightly when Sunwoo was trying to get a look at her.

"Excuse me! Have we met before?" Jinyoen backed away from the door but the room's back entrance was suddenly opened by Sunwoo.

"Am I hallucinating? Sunwoo looked at Jinyoen and asked.

"Yes, you are hallucinating and I'm a ghost."

"A ghost cannot be this stupid. What are you doing here"?

"I'm the physician here."

"What! Are you mad? This place is full of men. Go back home"

"I can't. I've given master Wi-hwa my word. Beside why do I get afraid huh? You are here too. So, you can protect me" Sunwoo took a step toward Jinyoen' "I'm not doing it. Pack your things and go home." Jinyoen took two steps toward him and put her hands on her hips.

"You must and you will protect me. Beside to the person who thinks there are only two hundred letters in the world have got another teacher except me?"

Many nights Sunwoo would sneak out of room and sometimes walking Jidiwi in progress. He followed him and found Sunwoo and Jinyoen laughing at each other, Jinyoen singing for him.

One morning when Jinyoen was looking  some books for Sunwoo someone grabbed her hand and pulled her back. She was surprised to see it was Jidiwi.

"You do like pulling me here and there aren't you? What do you need? I'm not going to be your pillow again?"

"My little Jinyeon, I want your help on something"

With that Jidiwi became a part of hers and Sunwoo's session because he couldn't read. Jinyoen being kind as always decide to help him. That ended up with the two knocking each other's brushes out of there hands, messing each other's letters begging Jinyoen to sing for them.
