Chapter 12

Nakyum stand up with the basin and walked to the door.

"Once again, thank you" Yooha said as he walk to the door. Nakyum gulped trying to calm himself down and leave as Yooha turned her body facing the door.

The moon was shining as if it's calling for her. It's so sentimental for her but she couldn't help it.

<Time skip>

They were both gathering in Yooha's chamber as Aera bring in metal trays of breakfast.

Duyun helped Aera bringing the tray while Sunoo cheering them on and Yooha watched from the back. Nakyum's smile too. It's been awhile since he spend times with many people like these and actually have fun together.

"Yooha, I hear that some servants said that the newly release book from that favorite author of yours are releasing a new book today" Aera informed as Duyun pick up a pajeon using chopsticks and bite it.

"You are going to the market right?" Duyun asked, munching as Aera rolled her eyes "that's so rude" she comment but was ignored.

"Can you look if there's any newly made dagger?" Yooha hummed and looked at Sunoo "did you have anything you want these days?" She asked and Sunoo think about it.

"I want new books too" Yooha then turn to Nakyum "what about you?" Nakyum think about it too and told her "I am not sure..." Aera looked at Duyun and nudged Nakyum "you should follow Lady Yooha then. Maybe you will find what you wants"

"Hey! I want to go too!" Sunoo said whining as Aera glared at him "you always go to market with lady Yooha. Let Nakyum follow her this time" she scolded him. Sunoo then agreed not wanting to argue with Aera.

After done eating, Yooha and Nakyum went to changes their outfits before heading to the market.

Yooha who was wears dark blue hanbok without her durumagi this time so she can walk better. Her hair was tie in bun which is common style for noblewoman like her.

There a tiny surface ornamentation of lotus flower hanging on her left chest. Yooha secures her sword to her side before walked out her room.

She looked around but Nakyum was nowhere to be seen so she headed to his room.

"Nakyum?" She called out from outside.

But the one who answer is Aera "wait a minute, my lady!" She shouted back. Yooha sat down on the terrace just outside Nakyum's room and waited for him just like Aera want.

It's taking awhile. Yooha who was getting bored called again and this time, the door slide open.

She looked up and was stunned to see Nakyum was wearing a new kind of clothes. He also wear ieom which is fur hat for winter and there's scarf wrapped around his neck (just like the photo up).

It's was getting cold because winter are coming but Yooha was wearing pretty simple outfit since she always been the type of person who have many body heat.

Aera stand next to Nakyum and grinned "isn't he look so cute right now? Like a baby chick" she compliment watching for Yooha reaction.

Nakyum was shifting shy next to Aera as Yooha was not responding at the question.

"Let get going before the temperature lower" she said and walked ahead first . Aera nudged Nakyum "you look so cute and pretty right now so don't worry" she whispered before walked away.

Nakyum followed Yooha and she actually walking in the same pace as him.

<Market>

There's nothing much to talk about during their walk so they don't actually talk much.
