Jinyoen opened her eyes. She looked around and figure out that she was in her room. She saw Dae-su was sleeping next to her holding her hand. She checked her injuries. The were bandaged. She got up from the bed and went out. As soon as Dara saw her she ran toward Jinyoen and hugged her.

"You are awake. You have lost too much blood. You were pale as a sheet when they bought you here. I was afraid."

"How many days have passed?"

"Four and half"

"What! You are saying me that I was out for almost five days"

"Yes. You were very weak"

"Who bought me here?"

"Sunwoo and Jidiwi?"

"They were worried. Weren't they?"

"Yes. Jidiwi was the worst. He looked like he was mad. He kept saying it was his fault" Jinyoen shock her head.

"Idiot ! Anyway I need to ask you something Dara. You know Dae-su , the boy I rescued. Do you like to raise him as your own?"

"Jin"

"Do you or do you not?"

"Of cause I like it. You know how much I like children"

"Go ahead then. He is yours. I'm going to the hwarang house"

"You can't Jin. Your wounds haven't heeled yet."

"They are fine." With that Jinyoen left.

                                            ...

Jidiwi was furious. Furious of himself. He was shooting arrows. He remembered Sunwoo stepping forward and claiming that he is the king rang in his mind. He remembered Jinyoen fainting at the border of Silla. He remmbered the deep wound on her shoulder. And suddenly he lost his temper and dropped his bow, furiously slamming his sword into the target instead.

"Calm down will you?" Jidiwi jumped hearing a voice. When turned around and saw Jinyoen was looking at him with a amused smile on her face. He ran to her and hugged her tightly.

"You are alright. You really are alright" He kept muttering.

"Of cause I'm alright. I told y.." Jidiwi didn't let her finished. He pressed his lips against her soft ones. Letting out all the feelings he had being hiding from everyone. He was hurt and he needed her. When they pull apart Jinyoen smiled at him.

"I'm putting you in danger again and again. Perhaps it would be better if I stay away from you"

"Don't even think about it king Jinheung. I've already told you this I can't bear the lost of another one I love. Beside if you are referring about those wounds, they are not your fault. I'm the one who jumped into the fight. You didn't ask me to. So, don't worry about them" Jidiwi lay down his head on her lap and she started playing with his hair.

"I heard what happened in Baekje. " She sayed softly. "And I know that you are afraid because of that. But don't be. He did that to save your life"

"Save my life" Jidiwi asked her surprised.

"I can understand him better than anyone Jinheung. He is so like me. He doesn't like power. He believes in equality like you."

"But why did he save my life?"

"There are some questions which we don't need answers now. Because it is not the correct time.Your question is also like that. Give it sometime. It will be alright. Just don't forget you two are close friends"

"You always know the right words to say Jinu. Honesty  I feel like I don't deserve you."

"Get some rest Jinheung. I'll wake you up when it starts to get dark" Jinyoen started to sing allowing Jidiwi to rest.
