Dang-gu left his uncle's house very drunk. He was drunk because of Jin Cho-yeon and her wedding. It hurt Da-hye to see him like this. But he was so drunk that it was also funny.

"I loved you, Jin Cho-yeon." Dang-gu cried as Yul tried to help him walk. "I hope you will be happy!" Dang-gu cried ugly as Yul and Da-hye tried to put him on a servant's back. "I miss you so much...."

Yul and Da-hye were going to take Dang-gu home.

"Jin Cho-yeon..." Dang-gu cried. "I loved you, Jin Cho-yeon!" Dang-gu shouted. Da-hye tried not to giggle as Dang-gu cried. It was sad that Dang-gu was crying over Jin Cho-yeon, but Dang-gu looked so funny when he cried. "I loved you so much...." Dang-gu cried.

"Dang-gu, stop your crying." Da-hye said as she tried not to giggle. But ended up laughing anyway.

"Are you laughing at me?" Dang-gu started to cry even harder.

"No, I am not." Da-hye said trying to not laugh.

"Yes you are!" Dang-gu cried.

"I am sorry, Dang-gu." Da-hye said. "But it looks like Jin Cho-yeon moved on, and so should you." 

Da-hye and Yul took Dang-gu back to Songrim and put him to bed. Da-hye tucked him. "It hurts me to see him so upset over Jin Cho-yeon." Da-hye said.

"I thought you were just laughing earlier?" Yul asked.

"Dang-gu looks very funny when he cries." Da-hye explained. "But that does not mean I do not feel bad for him." Da-hye told Yul.

Dang-gu had gotten drunk again while crying over Jin Cho-yeon. Da-hye was really starting to get over this. Dang-gu had been hugging her tightly as he cried. Da-hye had been trying not to laugh at him crying. He looked really ugly when he cried.

Da-hye and Dang-gu were at Chwiseonru with Yul. Da-hye eventually moved away from Dang-gu and gave him his sword to hug instead of hugging her.

Yul had decided to tell Dang-gu and Da-hye that the person getting married was Jin Bu-yeon and not Jin Cho-yeon. Da-hye had recently found out that the real Mu-deok was actually Jin Bu-yeon.  But how did the manage to retrieve Jin Bu-yeon's soul after Naksu shifted into her body? Da-hye wanted to find that out. But it made sense why Jinyowon kept Jin Bu-yeon's wedding a secret.

"The person from Jinyowon getting married is Jin Bu-yeon, not Jin Cho-yeon?" Dang-gu asked as he hugged his sword. 

"Yes." Yul said as Dang-gu sobbed. "She and my Uncle Yun-o, who came with me from Seoho Fortress, are having the wedding ceremony in secret." Yul explained. Dang-gu sighed. "I am only telling you this because you will not stop crying." Yul told Dang-gu.

Dang-gu kept of sobbing. Da-hye gave him a tissue. "Here."

"Thank you." Dang-gu took the tissue from his sister and blew his nose. Dang-gu exhaled loudly. "Thank goodness it is not Cho-yeon." Dang-gu said. "But wait a minute, Jin Bu-yeon is actually alive?"

"Have you met her?" Da-hye asked Yul. She wanted to know if he had met her and discovered that the real Mu-deok was Jin Bu-yeon. "What does she look like? What is she like?"

"I have not met her yet." Yul said. "Uncle Yun-o said he would introduce her to me after the wedding."  Yul nodded. "I guess I will  know once I meet her."

A while later, the three of them decided to go back to Songrim. Yul left first, Dang-gu and Da-hye were still upstairs. Da-hye was by the stairs.

"Dang-gu, hurry up!"  Da-hye shouted. 

"I am going." Dang-gu said as he walked towards Da-hye.

"Were you not supposed to get married today?" Yul asked someone. Da-hye assumed it was his uncle. She and Dang-gu decided to hear their conversation.

"I could not. Someone stole my bride." Seo Yun-oh said. Someone stole Jin Bu-yeon? What? "Park Dang-gu, the newly appointed leader of Songrim, thought I was marrying Jin Cho-yeon and kidnapped the bride." Seo Yun-oh explained.

Dang-gu walked down the stairs as soon as he heard this. Da-hye trailed behind him. "I... did what?" Dang-gu asked confused.

There was no way that Dang-gu could have kidnapped Jin Bu-yeon because he was with Yul and Da-hye the whole night. Seo Yun-oh told them that Lady Jin and Jin Cho-yeon were going to Songrim. So now the four of them were on their way to Songrim.

"Lady Jin, do not be mistaken." Dang-gu said. "It was not me. I did not kidnap the bride on her way to the wedding."

"Wedding?" Uncle Jin asked.

"Bride?" Master Heo asked.

"You knew about Jinyowon's wedding ceremony and went around asking about it, did you not?" Lady Jin asked Dang-gu.

"Yes, I did that." Dang-gu said. "I thought it was for Young Lady Jin. Although I wanted to ruin the ceremony,  I did not." Dang-gu explained.

"Dang-gu, Yul, and I were together the whole night." Da-hye said. "He could not have kidnapped anyone."

"He was not the person...who kidnapped Jin Bu-yeon." Yul said.

"Are you saying you came here looking for your eldest daughter, Jin Bu-yeon?" Uncle Jin asked.

"My goodness. This is so confusing." Master Heo said. "I am too old for this. What is this about Jin Bu-yeon? That girl is dead!" Master Heo said. "Jin Cho-yeon. Explain to me what is going on."

"Well, the thing is.." Jin Cho-yeon hesitated. "My sister is alive. She has been living in Jinyowon for the last three years." Jin Cho-yeon explained. 

"What?" Master Heo asked. "She is alive?"

"Yes, that is right." Lady Jin said. "I came here looking for Bu-yeon. She disappeared today during her wedding ceremony." Lady Jin explained. "I was too flustered having lost my precious daughter. I apologize for the discourtesy. I will be off now." Lady Jin bowed her head and walked away.

Jin Cho-yeon bowed her head as well and looked at Dang-gu before leaving. 

"Jin Bu-yeon." Uncle Jin said. "So you are alive."

︵‿︵‿୨🤍୧‿︵‿︵

"Why was Young Lady Jin so angry?" Dang-gu asked.

"She probably felt embarrassed and upset when she found out it was not you." Yul told Dang-gu. Dang-gu looked confused. 

"You thought she was getting married, but all you did was drink." Da-hye explained. "She has the right to feel angry." Even after what had happened, Da-hye still thought that Dang-gu and Cho-yeon should be together.

"I am the leader of Songrim now." Dang-gu said. "I can no longer do whatever I want, so I held back." Dang-gu explained. "What would you have done?" He asked Yul.

"If I were you.....I would have done it." Yul responded. "Because now I know how much I will regret it...if I decided to walk away." Yul said. "When I found out it was her, I should have stepped forward and held onto her instead of stepping away." Yul said. Da-hye realized that Yul was talking about Naksu. "Dang-gu. The most tragic experience is to live your entire life regretting what you could have done." Yul told Dang-gu. "Please do not live that way."
