The morning sun poured in through the windows. The birds were chirping as usual.

Baek Cheon opened his eyes, pushed away his blanket, and sat up on his bed as he looked around.

This was truly a calm morning.

But, for Baek Cheon, this couldn’t just be a calm morning.

‘Today is the day.’

Baek Cheon’s eyes sank low as he looked out the window.

Clench.

Baek Cheon tied his hair and looked at his reflection. The black robe and the plum blossom pattern engraved over the heart. The white band around his forehead.

Once again, this made him realize that he really was a disciple of Mount Hua. He couldn’t help but imagine. The same figure before him, but in the uniform of the Southern Edge Sect and not Mount Hua’s.

‘Similar.’

Jin Geum-Ryong’s face seemed to flash over his.

Even if they had diverged in looks at some point when they were young, the two were still similar enough to be recognized as siblings.

Taking a deep breath, he sat in his chair and drew his sword, carefully polishing it with oil.

Shh.

Shhh.

Every time he wiped the blade, his heart began to calm down.

Maybe.

Maybe he had a slightly different opinion now?

A life running away from home, hiding in Mount Hua, had never happened. He stayed in the Southern Edge Sect, where he was taught by his father and brother.

If he had done that, he would be a completely different person.

Did he regret it?

No.

Even if there was no blood between them, even if they hadn’t been together since birth, Mount Hua still felt like family.

Now his family wasn’t the Jin family, Mount Hua is his family and today’s spar is a place to say that.

So, he had to sharpen his mind a little…

Bang!

“Sasuk, you up?”

“…”

Baek Cheon’s eyes turned to look at who had kicked his door open,

“A door is opened by hand, not by kicking it. How many times have I…”

“Ah, right, right. Sect Leader is done.”

“…”

It was Chung Myung with Yoon Jong and Jo Gul, who were sticking their heads in through the doorway.

“Sasuk, come!”

“We are all set!”

Baek Cheon looked at the three of them and smiled.

Right. This was good.

‘My family is here.’

He smiled as he got up.

“Come on, let’s go!”

“Ah! Look at you all confident! You look so motivated to commit a bashing onto your hyung!”

‘Ah…’

Apart from this bastard.

This one bastard.
