"Mu-deok." Uk spoke while lifting Mu-deok up.. "Mu-deok, wake up." Mu-deok slightly opened her eyes. Uk brought her in closer to him.

"I will take her." Yul said trying to grab her.

"No." Uk pushed Yul's hand away.

"You cannot even walk properly." Yul protested.

"I can do it. She's my maid, so I will take her." Uk said. Had Uk fallen in love with Mu-deok?

"But you are now well either."  Maidservant Kim protested. "You cannot take her there."

"Do you think so? Then.." Uk turned to look at Maidservant Kim. "You carry her on your back."

"Pardon?" Maiservant Kim asked, her tone had a hint of shockness.

"Carry her on your back." Uk repeated.

"You want me to carry her?" Maidservant Kim asked, still somewhat in shock.

"Yes." Uk nodded his head, picking himself and Mu-deok up.

"Why should I carry her?" Maidservant Kim asked. Uk and Dang-gu lifted Mu-deok up so that Maidservant Kim could carry her.

 "Come here." Uk said.

"Young Master."  Maidservant Kim protested, Uk and Dang-gu placed Mu-deok on Maidservant Kim's back. "No but wait. My goodness."

"Hey, Yul. Help me instead of Mu-deok." Uk placed himself behind Yul. "I do not have the strength to walk. Take me to Sejukwon." Even after all of this, Uk was still acting like a princess. Da-hye sighed loudly.

"Do you want me to carry him?" Dang-gu offered.

"No." Yul responded.

"All right." Dang-gu said as he and Da-hye followed behind them.

"Maidservant Kim, be careful!" Uk shouted. "Be careful with her!"

"All right." Maidservant Kim said as she continued walking.

"Goodness."

Shortly after taking Mu-deok and Uk to Sejukwon, Yul, Dang-gu, and Da-hye had left. Dang-gu revealed that he knew where his uncle kept his wine hidden. "This is the wine that our uncle hides in his room." Dang-gu said.

Yul and Da-hye watched him drink it but didn't actually drink any. Da-hye didn't want to be blamed if her uncle found out. 

"It tastes quite nice." Dang-gu said. "Anyways, Uk's life long dream has finally come true. So let us celebrate." Dang-gu poured himself more wine.

"He should be celebrating. Not us. What do we have to celebrate?" Da-hye asked.

Dang-gu's smiled faded. "You always ruin the mood." 

"That girl, Mu-deok..." Yul changed the topic. "He recently brought her from a brothel, right?" Dang-gu nodded his head in response.

"She risked her life for him even though they only just met." Yul said. "It is strange." Da-hye could tell that Yul was starting to suspect something as well. 

"Uk saved her from having to become a gisaeng." Dang-gu explained, a forming on his face as he drank the wine.

"She even pretended to be blind, to get out of it." Da-hye commented.

"Have a drink." Dang-gu said to Yul and Da-hye.

"Blind?" Yul asked. 

"According to Ju-wol she was blind when she came but could see just fine when she left." Dang-gu's lips curled into a smile. "This wine tastes great."
