"lady Yooha have arrived!" someone shouted which make them flinched and get up instantly. they rushed out to greeted her back.

Nakyum, Sunoo, Aera and Duyun all been waiting for her for 4 days now. Nakyum eyes widen seeing what state she is in. her hanbok is all cover in dark red liquid.

her messy hair and how dry blood still on her face. Yooha get down from her horse and keep the horse at the stable before eyes scanning around until meet Nakyum.

she smiles "I am home" Aera throw herself on her before sobbing "thankfully!" Duyun chuckled "I try my best to not make her too worry about you, agasshi but I failed" Yooha patted her head

"it's okay. I am glad to know there's someone waiting for my return this eagerly"

Nakyum hands wet with sweats. all the promise they made before she leaves, spinning in his head.

Sunoo hugged her then before tiptoed and was about to plant a kiss on her lips but Yooha stopped him "blood all over me. it's disgusting for you guys" she said handing her sword towards Duyun

"I will take a bath first. Duyun, go and tell Seungho that I am back. safely and uninjured"

Duyun nodded "I will get going now then" he informed and walked away to put away her sword before leaving to inform Lord Seungho.

Yooha walked past them and went to her room. Aera went to get the bath ready while Sunoo and Nakyum leave behind.

"is there anything I don't know between you and Yooha?" Sunoo suddenly asked.

"w-what?"

"she never pushed me like that. no matter how bloody she is. that's not the excuse before" Sunoo looked at Nakyum before smiled "you like her too right?"

Nakyum looked down, hands brought together before nodding his head

"that's not a surprise. don't worry, I won't interfere if she want to break out relationship. I am not into fighting over someone" he lean in and whisper in Nakyum's ear

"she likes it when boys cries. moaning and groaning. also, let her have her way with you" Sunoo chuckled "that's will satisfied her" he walked away. Nakyum was flushed after hearing what Sunoo just said.

Nakyum walked back inside, walking towards his room and he immediately bumped into Yooha who just leave her room.

"...I am going on a bath"

"i-i know" Nakyum doesn't dare to look at her

"do you want to join?"

Nakyum freeze wondering if he hears it wrong. "bath me" Yooha said coming closer, grabbing his arm before leaning down "I been thinking about you all the way home and I am back home as promised. don't I deserve a gift?" Nakyum flushed timidly nodding making Yooha chuckled.

she plant a kiss on his cheek "I like this" she dragged him behind her and he let her.

they headed to the bath which were prepared by Aera and the others servant. one of the girl servant brought in new freshly hanbok for Yooha. she bowed towards Yooha and walk backwards out the door because it's rude to show servant back at yangban.

Yooha closed the door before turning to face red face Nakyum. she cupped his face in her hand, head tilt to the side watching his face. their distance slowly become close

"are you sick?" she suddenly asked making Nakyum flustered at the question.

"w-why?"

"your face so red and hot"
