➷(69) LATE NIGHT ADVENTURES

Dang-gu, Da-hye, Sang-ho, and many of the Songrim mages had gone to Uncle Jin's house because Dang-gu had an urgent report. They were standing outside of his house, calling out his name.

"Uncle, are you asleep?" Dang-gu asked. "I came to make an urgent report." he explained. But he earned no response from Uncle Jin. "Uncle. My lord, please come out." Dang-gu called out. Da-hye sighed as there was no response.

Dang-gu, Da-hye, and Sang-ho looked at each other not knowing what to do. "I am coming in." Dang-gu said. But suddenly Sang-ho stopped him as he had noticed women's shoes by the door. Da-hye looked down and noticed them too.  Could they, perhaps, be Maidservant Kim's? 

"What? What is it?" Dang-gu asked. Sang-ho shook his head and pointed to the women's shoes with his eyes. Dang-gu's eyes widened when he saw them. 

"Uncle, we will go back for today." Da-hye said as the mages behind her started walking back to the direction where they came from. "Go." Dang-gu ushered the mages.

But they decided not to leave and instead stay and listen into Uncle Jin and Maidservant Kim's conversation. "They must have caught on. Perhaps we should have just greeted them." Maidservant Kim said. "I am so embarrassed, what should I do?" she asked.  She earned no response from Uncle Jin. "Is this funny to you?" Maidservant Kim asked Uncle Jin. 

"It is just that you are pretty." Uncle Jin explained. "Your shyness reminds me of an adolescent girl. Thanks to you, I also feel like an adolescent boy who was caught dating." he said. Da-hye placed a hand over her mouth, trying to not chuckle.

"They say being together makes you feel younger." Maidservant Kim responded.  "That is nice to hear." 

"Let us stay together forever." Uncle Jin told Maidservant Kim. Da-hye smiled as she was happy for her uncle. There was silence for a few moments. "I, Park Jin of Songrim, ask you, Kim Yeon of Wol Fortress, to be my lawfully wedded wife." Uncle Jin said. Da-hye felt like a VERY proud niece. 

"I, Kim Yeon of Wol Fortress, accept the proposal of Park Jin of Songrim." Maidservant Kim said. 

"My lord! Congratulations!" Sang-ho shouted.

"Congratulations!" The rest of the mages, including Da-hye, shouted. 

"I guess you did not leave yet." Uncle Jin responded as the mages clapped their hands.

Da-hye cheered and jumped excitedly. She was so glad that she had witnessed this. "The day has finally come!" Da-hye shouted, she turned to look at Dang-gu only to see him hugging Sang-ho while making the ugliest face Da-hye had ever seen. 

She could not help but laugh at Dang-gu, his eyebrow were raised, yet furrowed, he squinted his eyes and smiled uglily.  "Congratulations!" Dang-gu shouted.

Da-hye had heard that Yul had actually rescued So-i. He had brought her to his room to question her, that is what Da-hye guessed. She was crouched down outside of Yul's room trying to peek inside without making it obvious. 

"I guess you received the message I sent you, seeing that you came to save me." So-i told Yul.

"Yes, I did." Yul responded. Da-hye pushed the door slightly careful to not make noise. She could see So-i sitting on the bed, her face was all bloody and bruised.
