Around 11pm, i was sitting on the stairs where i was sat on before uk nearly got killed by master park, and yul who saw me from afar, came to me and spoke "Hi again young lady jang, what are you doing here alone? Are you waiting for master park to lift uk's punishment?"
I raised my head up to him and replied "Yes, we only reunited for less than five days and he's already in trouble. I swear this kid likes trouble, he always did..." i said with a long sigh
"Even when we were kids he was always in trouble for some stupidities, and yet i was not the best-behaved child, you can ask maidservant kim about it, but even i admit it, he was really looking for trouble sometimes" i added
"Yeah, that in fact sounds like him" he said while chuckling softly
"But i still cannot bring myself to blame him for it as i know too well why he acts like that... A problem that was also mine before..." i said as i was sadly sighing
"Yes... I feel really bad for him sometimes..." he said looking beautifully melancholic
"But to change the subject, do you maybe want me to stay with you until master park lifts his punishment?" he added with a face full of benevolence
"I wouldn't say no to a little bit of company right now so if you do not mind, yes" i said smiling at him
While he sat next to me i added "Oh and you can just call me sayan if you don't mind, i'm not used to this kind of luxurious appellations yet..." i said with an embarrassed smile
"Oh okay, then sayan it will be" he said smiling to me
He then spoke again "Are you okay? With what happened these last days i mean, i mean, you just found out that you had a twin brother and a house that you did not know off because you were kidnapped by some wicked guy, then the thing with gwigu and the soul shifter who i think was stressful for everyone in Songrim if i actually think of it... If it was me in your place i would have, exploded i think"
I smiled at him, thankful that he asked that since i think i needed to talk to someone about it...
"I think i'm okay, or at least i did not burst in tears yet and hopefully i won't, thanks for asking, it is really thoughtful of you..." i said with a low voice
"You know crying isn't a bad thing, it does not mean you are weak or childish, it just means you are... well human..." he said as he put his hand on my knee and started rubbing his thumb on it without even noticing his action.
My gaze fell on his hand as he noticed my surprised look and tried to remove his hand but i put my hand on his to keep him from taking it off and said "Don't worry it's okay, it doesn't bother me..." which made him blush and relax at the same time
He left his hand where it was and said embarrassed "Oh ok..."
"I didn't expect anyone would bother to ask or even just... understand that while it's a good thing, mentally speaking it's not that easy to manage..." i said with a thankful smile directed towards him
He softly smiled back at me as he said "Well, if you want to talk more about it someday just know that i'm here"
I had decided to not tell him that i was the sayan he knew when he was young because i knew it would just cause some trouble and i felt at ease with him so i did not want to ruin it, at least for now...
"I have a question though?" i asked
"Yes, go ahead" he said, starting to slowly rub his thumb on my knee again
