KING JEON & I ♚JJK♚

♚6♚

[Y/N POV]

I kept glancing towards the main door again and again. The reason is very subtle. Father is coming today. I haven't seen him for a long time. In these 2 years, we have no other means of communication except exchange of letters. Soldiers are not given any leave in Busan state but suddenly the cruel king has given leave. Maybe God fulfilled my wish.

"Why are you waiting so restlessly? It will still take about half an hour for him to arrive," said Aunt as she headed towards the kitchen.

"Yes but I am still very excited. Father is coming after a long time."

"Okay. You go in and sit down. I will tell you when he arrives."

"No problem. I am fine standing right here."

"Wait, what happened to your feet?" she said glancing at my feet.

"Not much. I got hurt by the corner of the door," I said carelessly.

"Not much? Go back to the room now and apply the ointment," Aunt ordered which was impossible to disobey because she was like my mother. She loves me as much as she governs me.

"Okay. But please inform me when father arrives," I said and she nodded.

Reassured, I went to the room. Then I opened the drawer of the bedside table, took out the ointment container and applied the ointment to my wounded foot. In the village, it is said that the sudden amputation of limbs is an omen, especially an indication of an unexpected event. Father left for home today, but what if-

No, no. Nothing will happen. Father is very strong-willed. I have no one in the world except him. God will surely not take away my last resort.

I started pacing from one corner of the room to another and counted the time. It should not be so late.

Suddenly, I heard a noise outside. Father must have returned. I was very happy thinking that and I went to the table and started making juice. Father must have come back very tired and will need to drink this juice in this heat.
