Yoon family's son-in-law

Chungha looked around at her maiden bedroom which she owned this room when she was a girl and had not yet entered the palace. Everything is the same as if she was still living at her parents' house. Even personal items such as books, clothes, and accessories that she left at home were still stored neatly without changing places.

Today Cheong-ha asked permission from Queen Im Hwaryeong to visit her parents' house. Her only younger brother, Yoon Seo-ha returns from the border with their cousin. Cheong-ha was very happy to hear about the return of her only little brother as they haven't seen each other for three years. 

Cheong-ha's father, Yoon Soo Gwang, was the minister of war. He entrusted Seo-ha to their maternal uncle, who was a general on the border. Cheong-ha still remembers how she cried and begged her father not to send her brother away. Sending her brother when he was old enough would be safer, sadly her request was flatly rejected by her father. Seo-ha is the Yoon clan's last hope to survive as twenty years ago, the Yoon clan was wiped out due to a struggle for the throne. Their family was the last family with the surname Yoon. Her father only had one son, so it was understandable the expectation was higher compared to his sisters.

Seo-ha came together with their cousin to the capital because of her marriage. He brought a variety of unique and cute items from the border area as a wedding present. Cheong-ha had mixed feelings seeing it. Her marriage was indeed very prestigious, after all, she married a future king. If she were a member of another family, the family members would have been showing off everywhere, but her family is different. Their family is a close-knit family. They knew her marriage was not going well, so at lunch, no one asked about the crown prince at all. They were busy listening to Seo-ha recounting his experiences at the border and what he had experienced on his way home. Cheong-ha felt grateful she knew she could always come home when everything was not well out there.

Cheong-ha didn't understand what happened to her. Before her marriage, she was a cheerful girl full of life. She tried to do many things, visited many new places, and had many hopes that she wants to achieve. It changed once she met her husband. She couldn't control herself and thought of him all the time. She still remembered her husband's face a month ago after they spend the night together. That disappointed face. That dissatisfied tone. The reaction she didn't expect at all.

After that night, Cheong-ha stopped making excuses to meet her husband. Besides being too embarrassed after her husband rejected her, she also wanted to know whether he had any intention of meeting her with his own initiative. So far, it's always been her who made plans so that the two of them could meet. Now, it seemed like Cheong-ha must face the fact that her husband didn't like her. Not once did her husband visit her palace. 

To be honest, Cheong-ha was puzzled by her husband's behavior. At that time they had spent time together on Manwol-do, she could feel that he felt the same way about her. She still clearly remembered the shy smile and loving gazes he gave to her when she confessed her feelings. Then what made the husband's attitude change? Or maybe he really never had a feeling for her. Maybe he was trying to be polite. Maybe what happened in Manwol-do was just her imagination. She misinterpreted the signal because she wanted him too much.

"Noonim, why is it taking so long to change clothes? Sa-Hyun Hyungnim is waiting in the field," Seo-ha called.

The call of her brother from outside snapped Cheong-ha from her trance.

"Yes, for a moment. I'm also a woman. It's normal I need a long time to change my clothes," Cheong-ha replied.

Today she will be sparring with her younger brother and older cousin. Her father will be the referee. Since Seo-ha was three years old, Minister Yoon taught martial arts to his only son. Seeing how much her brother suffered, Cheong-ha decided to accompany Seo-ha to study martial arts. At first, her father disapproved. Her congenital disease was not a mild illness, and martial arts naturally would not suit her. Cheong-ha sticks to her stance. She still gets up early every day to accompany her younger sibling in learning martial arts. That's why the two of them are very close.
