The Ginsengs performing paused as they stared at the person who was brought in.
The entire Palor went silent.
She was wearing a bright red and yellow hanbok dress and was given a complete makeover. Her hair was nearly braided backwards and pretty hairpins were stuck in it.
This however was not got the men staring. It was the icy and unbothered gaze she had. She looked as though she was going to skin alive whoever stepped with a three metre radius from where she was.
The woman led her to the middle of the Palor.
"We have a very pretty jewel in our midst. Why don't we cast lots? The highest bidder gets to have this jewel for tonight. " The woman announced.
The smile on Jinwoo's face froze.
Cast lots?
Chaeyeon's face turned dark. The hands under her dress folded into fists.
Jaewoo's grin returned.
"I was right when I said tonight was going to be fun" he muttered.
As soon as the words left the lips of the woman, the entire Palor went in an uproar.
"I bid three Nyangs"
"I bid Five Nyangs"
"Eight Nyangs!"
"Twelve Nyangs!!"
" Fifteen Nyangs!!!"
" Thirty Nyangs!!!!"
The Palor went silent once more.
The woman looked around.
"No more bidders?"
The Crown Prince closed his eyes and was about to speak when he heard the woman's voice again.
"Uh, young Master you have not made your bidding, you cannot just take the prize."
Ah, don't mind this lawless young Master, I bid one...."
The entire Palor rumbled with laughter.
The woman asked with uncertainty, "one Nyang?"
Jaewoo chuckled lightly and looked at Chaeyeon.
"She is obviously worth more than that... I bid one Gold Nyang." He declared.
The Palor went as dead silent as a graveyard.
Jaewoo reached into his sleeves and placed one golden Nyang in the woman's hands.
"There."
Having said that, he grabbed Chaeyeon's hands and pulled her with him.
Jinwoo watched as the both of them left. He poured himself a cup of wine.
"I wonder what Jaewoo thinks," Hyunwoo began.
"At least, the rabbit wasn't devoured by a tiger." Kyungwoo said.
Seungwoo scoffed.
" A shame."
After a while the Palor soon returned to it's usual state.
*****
As Jaewoo closed the doors, Chaeyeon grabbed him and shoved him against the wall; an hairpin at his throat.
"You-"
"What were you thinking?!" She yelled.
Jaewoo swallowed.
" I .. I didn't think it would turn out that way," he began.
Chaeyeon scoffed.
" You didn't think? What were you thinking when you gave me to her?!" She inquired her eyes red with anger.
