Taehyung's POV

We were on our way to return to Kaesong after getting a sudden order to do so immediately.

Yesterday was our last day staying at the town after solving the problem with the Khitans.

Some of them were killed, others sent to prison. There were only a minority of them who were speared from any punishments and set free to start a new life. But those were only lower classes among the rebels.

Of course, we didn't spend 4 months only with hunting Khitans. We were also busy in reconstructing the town since the rebels caused a lot of damage.

The citizens experienced a big loss due to this crisis. A lot of them were injured, a lot of them died. We had to give them support so they could start a new life. They were the people who gave me the motivation to do my best and hindered me from all negativities.

Even though I didn't get in contact with Mooyeon a single bit I still hoped to see her as soon as possible. Somehow, after a long while thinking about it, it was enough for me as long as she could read all my letters.

We already travelled a big distance and decided to take a break for the horses.

"Hyung, how comes that you let this maid ride your horse? Don't you get tired?" Jungkook asked while grabbing his water bottle and gulped down a big amount.

It indeed was surprising. Why would Jimin volunteer to walk and let a random woman ride it?

Talking about strange people, Seokjin has been strange towards me, too. He's been avoiding me a lot recently. Everytime I approach him he would act really nervous as if he owed me something.

"Isn't she one of Hoseok's maids?" I recognized the silent girl after noticing the silk cloth that hid half of her face. "The one who's willing to give him 'everything she has'."

"That doesn't concern you. Just keep your hands off her." was all Jimin said.

"Jimin asked me personally if he could have her." Hoseok whispered to me and Jungkook making sure that Jimin didn't hear him.

"OK, but what's that special about her?" Jungkook whispered back.

"As you said, she is the girl I saved from the brothel-keeper. Her name is Baekhab. She asked me to keep her as a servant but I rejected. I wanted her to be free but I didn't expect Hyeonju to give her money and make her spy on me." Hoseok explained with a frown.

"And does Princess Heonju know that you already figured it out?" I asked.

"Of course not. I just let it be. There is nothing interesting to spy, anyways. Hyeonju is just afraid that I would look at other women but honestly, her worries start to piss me off now. Back then, everyday the same question: 'Do you love me?' And that's not the only one. Next she would ask you: 'Do you really love me?' 'How much do you love me?' 'Do you love me more or do I love you more?' 'What do you love about me?' 'Why do you love me?' 'How long will you keep loving me?' 'When did you start loving me?' At first she would ask you one question once per week. Then it became once per day. Then once per hour. It's driving me crazy." Hoseok told which caused me and Jungkook to chuckle.

"And her face? I guess it was..." I asked about her scar.

"Yes, you guessed it correctly. That's why I feel guilty for her. If it wasn't me, Hyeonju wouldn't be that cruel to her. Now I'm really glad that Jimin is going to take care of her. I'm sure she will finally gain happiness with him."

It was now September, year 1010. That meant the 2nd Khitan invasion had already began.
