[The next day]

Minji opened her eyes slowly and closed them again with a yawn she landed her hand over Yoohseok just to meet with an empty bed.

She opened her eyes and searched for Yoohseok, scanning the chamber.

"Are you inside?" She asked looking at the washstand.

After not getting an answer she figured out that Yoohseok was not there.

•••••••

"There are evidences against the King. He murdered Yongsoon or he ordered others to murder her." Yoohseok spoke resting his hands over the table.

"So what are you going to do? You cannot do anything right now. You know you need to be the king... before that you cannot harm him..." Seojun explained.

"Do you think what the king did was right...?" Asked Yoohseok.

"No..." The black haired woman replied.

"Alright... I just wanted to inform you about what the king did." Yoohseok whispered with a sigh before standing up, he gave a bow to Seojun before leaving.

"You... buried her body at the court?" The purple haired girl asked.

"Yes." Yoohseok answered, clasping his hands behind himself.

"Did you had feelings for her?" Minji whispered in a low voice, she waited for Yoohseok's response.

Yoohseok glanced at Minji, he decided not to answer. Minji didn't push him further to answer her question.

"So...do you know who did it? Who killed her?" Asked Minji.

"I don't know yet. We will find out soon." Yoohseok replied with a small smile.

Minji gently wrapped her arm around Yoohseok's upper arm. "You didn't cry for her?" She whispered.

"What?" Yoohseok whispered looking at Minji.

"Don't you feel sad that she is dead?" Asked Minji. She now just realised that Yoohseok doesn't express his emotions most of the time in front of others. Does he lacks in emotions? Especially emotions which are related to sadness?

"I am not supposed to cry in front of others..." Yoohseok whispered.

"What? Why?" Minji spoke raising her eyebrows.

"I've been trained like that... So i don't let myself break in front of others, it doesn't matter what the situation is or how worse the situation is." Yoohseok replied.

"If i ever die, you will not cry just because you will be surrounded by other people?" Said Minji, backing away her hand.

Yoohseok bit on his lower lip before answering. "The rule remains the same for everyone..." Yoohseok whispered with a sigh.

"That's rude..." Minji spoke.

"I know." Yoohseok whispered. They started walking again, intertwining their fingers.

•••••••

"You said you'll teach me archery..." Sakura spoke sitting beside Yoohseok under a tree.

"Yes... Not now... maybe after two three days...? Is that alright?" Yoohseok whispered clasping his hands over his lap.

"Yes." Sakura replied with a smile.

Sakura's eyes went over Yoohseok's lips before she locked her gaze with Yoohseok.

They both looked in front of them at the river, breaking the eye contact.
