Soobin spent a sleepless night, and when Hwan knocked on his door to deliver breakfast, he wearily replied, "Come in." 

Hwan immediately discerned from Soobin's exhausted voice that he hadn't slept. Placing the breakfast on the table, Hwan politely inquired, "Sir, why didn't you sleep?" Soobin responded, "Can you answer my questions?"
"What are they?" 

Out of the blue, Soobin asked, "When did you first realize you love your wife?" Perplexed, Hwan questioned, "Why are you asking that?" 

 "Because I need to know."
"You're in love. I see."
"Just tell me."

 "She fell for me first, but I tried to ignore her due to my shyness. However, I realized I truly fell in love with her when she mentioned her family was searching for a wise man for her. I immediately approached her parents, they approved of me, and we got married." 

Soobin remarked, "Yours is so simple." 

Hwan inquired, "What are you thinking, Sir? Is it about Princess Mira? Please don't deceive me. Tell me, I can help." 

"Yes, it is." 

 "That's risky."

"I know." 

 "That girl loves you, Sir. So ask yourself what you truly feel about her." 

"Hwan ssi, can you deliver a message to Mira for me? Ask her to meet me tonight at midnight." 

"I can arrange it through Sunghoon. Don't worry."

"Okay, then." 

"But where will you meet her?" 

"At the fountain."

Yeonjun headed to the mall to meet Kim Seok Jin. Spotting Jin, he waved and beckoned him to sit beside him. Jin obliged and asked, "Why did you suddenly want to see me?" 

"It's about the future." 

"Okay, then?" 

"Then you need to tell me, what did you foresee when Princess Mira faced punishment?" 

"I told you it wasn't anything terrible." 

 "Then why aren't you telling me, Uncle?" 

 "I know how close you are with your younger brothers and Chaewon." 

 "You think I'll disclose it to them if you reveal the future to me?"
Jin responded,

"Somewhat." 

"Then you don't know me, Uncle." 

 "Actually, it might hurt you." 

"I'm strong enough. But I'm hurt because you don't know me." 

 "It's not like that, Yeonjun. They are your brothers; you might confide in them." 

Yeonjun challenged, "You can see the future, so see if I will tell them or not."

"You're clever. I'm impressed." 

"Then tell me." 

Jin revealed, "You, your brothers, Chaewon, Princess Mira, Chin Hwa, Sunghoon, Suji, and I will be reborn in the future." ,

"WHAT????" 

Jin cautioned him, "Don't shout. Come with me. It's better if we don't talk here."

Beomgyu was engaged in a conversation with the maids, inquiring about their well-being and if they required anything for additional shelters. He was sociable and approachable to the people. At that moment, Choi Su Ji arrived.
