From some days onwards Jinyoen was feeling that Ahro is hiding something from her. But she didn't ask it from her. She didn't want to make things worse.  Jinyoen saw Sunwoo sitting alone so, she went and sat beside him. 

"Remember when we were little you used to carry me around the house letting me to pick the flowers I like. I want to go to that time. We were so little and didn't have anything to worry about.  Now I have so much to think.  Remember the game we used play when we were little?" Sunwoo looked confused.  

"Why, don't you remember it orabeoni? The tale of cat and rat? Do you remember how to play it?"

"It's easy.  The rat is running away from cat" Jinyeon stared at him in shocked . 

"You don't remember it. We wanted to make our game special.  So, we changed the rules.  The rat chase cat. You have already forgotten those things aren't you?" Jinyoen was already in tears. But she quickly gather herself together and said," it's alright orabeoni. You stayed away from capital for years. I'm not mad. I understand. You are safe here it's only matter for me" Jinyoen smiled at him and went. She lied. From the inside she had a feeling that Sunwoo wasn't the same person before. She remembered Pi Jooki's words.

"Are you sure he is your brother my lady. But when he came to my shop he said the necklace that he is wearing belongs to his friend." Jinyoen looked at him and,

"No, he knows things that only two of us know. I believe in him." 

"Is it true. No it can't be. AhnJi father won't do such a thing. Will he?But Ahro looks very strange these days. Does she know something? No, I mustn't think like this" Jinyoen was arguing with herself. Finally she convince herself that it's natural to forget such things after living away from the family so long.

                                                                              ...     

Later Wi Hwa had asked hwarang to dance and play music for the thanksgiving festival. He had called a person called Woo Reuk to teach them.When Jinyoen went to give tea for master Wi Hwa,

"Did you talk with master Woo Reck? He is the one who raised your brother"

"Really!" Wi Hwa was taken back.

"You didn't know?" Jinyoen shocked her head. She met Woo Reuk. When she talked to him she got the feeling that she was missing something in here which she ignored. In evening Jinyoen was walking to the clinic with a bowl of medicine in her hands she heard Ahro and Sunwoo speaking.

"Does she know the truth? I told you to be careful. If she found out that you are not my real brother she would be heartbroken.I don't want to see her crying." The bowl which was in Jinyoen's hand fell making a huge noise. Both Ahro and Sunwoo jumped by the sound of it. When they turned around they saw Jinyoen was standing there with a shocked face.

"Jin, it's not" Jinyoen cut Ahro off. She grabbed from the collar of Sunwoo's hanbok and started shaking him.

"Who are you? Where is my real brother? What did you do to him?" She continued shaking him.

"I'm not Sunwoo. I'm his friend."

"What happened to my brother then?"

"He was killed by the queen's guard" Jinyoen was shocked.

"D-Did he saw the face of the king?" Sunwoo slowly nodded his head. She pushed both of them and ran away from them while crying.

Jidiwi was coming from the infirmary with a smile on his face. He saw Jinyoen was walking and jumped infront of her to scare her. When he saw she was crying his smile disappeared.

"Why are you crying?" She ignored him and walked away. Jidiwi started following her. She went to the river bank and cried loudly.  Jidiwi's eyes were widen with the worry. He could see that Jinyoen was broken.

"Did someone hurt you? Do you want me to kill the person who made you cry?" He lift her chin and stared deeply into her eyes.

"Tell me and I will do what you want. You know I will" Jinyoen didn't response. Jidiwi clench his fits. "Is someone bothering you here?Did they try somthing? If anyone bothering you I will cut their every joint, pull their tongues and make them die from the thirst."

Jinyoen continued to cry.

"Seeing you cry make me furious. Who is hurting you? I will kill him. If you are crying concern in someone I will kill him too. Tell me"

Jinyoen wiped her tears." The king" Jidiwi froze after hearing those words.

"Find the king. I must ask him something. I must asked him the reason that he hates me so much. I need to ask him. Why does he hate me so much? He doesn't like me being happy. He took the people I loved so much. Because of him I lost my family." Jinyoen grabbed his hand and shock the violently. "Take me to him. I need to know the reason."

Jinyoen ran past him.  Jidiwi stoot there in shock. He was angry with himself. He made cry the woman he loved. He took Jinyoen's hairpin which he had picked up and stared at it.

"You have never cried like this. Stop crying. I promise you that I won't let anything happened to you. I will make you mine. Just hold a bit more Jinyoen. I won't leave you again"
