Da-hye had heard that the Crown Prince was here to see her. She ran out of Jeongjingak to see him. She had seen him yesterday, but she already missed him.

"Your Royal Highness!" Da-hye said as she ran down the stairs. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought I should see you before your brother's wedding." The Crown Prince said. "I am invited, right?"

"Why would you not be invited?" Da-hye asked. "But you do not have to come if you do not want to."

The Crown Prince put his hands around Da-hye's waist and hugged her tightly. "I had to come see you, I missed you too much." The Crown Prince said as he patted Da-hye's hair.

The Crown Prince noticed that Da-hye's hair was done, but she was still wearing her night clothes.

"I should leave now." The Crown Prince said. "I do not want to bother you or waste your time." The truth was the Crown Prince did not want to leave at all. He wanted to stay with Da-hye for the whole day.

Da-hye smiled and put her arms around his neck. "You could never bother me." Da-hye said. The Crown Prince smiled as Da-hye was finally reciprocating feelings. This was all he wanted. The Crown Prince hugged her tightly once again.

"I do not want to delay the process of you looking beautiful." The Crown Prince said. The realized what he said might be offensive. He did not mean that Da-hye was not beautiful every day. "Not that you do not always you look beautiful, but I know you will look more beautiful today." 

Da-hye smiled. "I understand."

"I should be going now." The Crown Prince hugged Da-hye again.

They both heard footsteps walking towards them. It was the leader. The leader's eyes went wide when he saw them hugging.

It was finally time for the wedding. Da-hye had never been as excited. She probably would not be as excited on her on wedding. But her brother getting married was the best news that Da-hye could ever receive. She was so happy for him. She could start jumping from excitement. The day had finally come. Even though, Da-hye and Dang-gu would not be as close anymore, Da-hye was still happy.

Lady Jin was here in Songrim as well. The wedding was to take place in Songrim. 

"Let bygones be bygones." Master Heo told the leader and Lady Jin. "You will now become in-laws."

That was right. Jin Cho-yeon would now be Da-hye's sister in-law. That was crazy to even think about.

"Cho-yeon is not marrying into the Park family." Lady Jin said. "Dang-gu is the one marrying into ours." Lady Jin explained. Da-hye scoffed. While the leader slowly turned to look at Lady Jin with an offended expression.

"He is not moving in with your family." The leader said. "Since you are saying such things, people are talking about how his surname will change to Jin." The leader explained.

Jin Dang-gu. Da-hye shook her head in disgust. That did not even sound right. "Jin Dan-gu, ew, that does not sound right!" Da-hye complained.

"Their daughter will be given our surname." Lady Jin said. 

"Their son will be given ours." The leader said.

That reminded Da-hye about what Master Heo used to tell her when she was little. He used to say that Da-hye was originally going to be Nam Da-hye because that was her mother's family name. But her mother decided to give her the surname "Park" instead because she did not want the twins to have different surnames.
