"Look, it's Master Yeowool!" a young maiden says, making the other maidens with her also look at the direction she was pointing at. They were in the streets of the capital on their way to Okta and they have stopped for a while to wait for their other friend to arrive when the maiden have noticed Yeowool passing by.
"I know right! He's so beautiful as ever!" one gushed, holding her friend's arm as she gazed at Yeowool who was wearing his elegant flamingo pink robe, looking majestic as always.
"But, who is that person walking beside him?" another questioned, making the others look at Chunhwa who was walking beside the Hwarang in her unique looking moss green hanbok.
"I don't know. She must be an outsider." the first maiden who noticed Yeowool shrugs, "I have never seen her before."
"I have never seen Master Yeowool with a girl before either!"
"But hey, isn't she the Princess from the North?" one pipes up and they all looked at her as her eyes slowly widen in a realization.
"Could it be that?"
"Nonsense!" the other says, looking at her incredulously. "We all know that Master Yeowool is very popular with men and women but he never went out with either once."
"But how could you explain that?" she retorts back, pointing at the two who had finally passed by them.
On the other hand, Chunhwa was actually listening at their 'not-so-loud' conversation and couldn't help but duck her head a little as she whispers at Yeowool.
"Is it just me," she starts hesitantly, "Or are they talking about us?"
The Hwarang couldn't help but let out an amused smile at her question. "Nope, they're really talking about us."
The young maiden couldn't help but gape at him in disbelief. "And you're okay with that?"
"Well, I've been dealing with the same thing almost all my life." Yeowool shrugs nonchalantly.
"It's not that I'm at fault for being born with a beautiful face."
Chunhwa deadpans at him but before she could give back a comment, a couple of children who were playing, ran in between them. Since the children came from their back, she was not able to foresee them and thus, making her jump back in surprise.
Yeowool jumped back a little as well, but his eyes immediately snapped towards Chunhwa as her face scrunched up in pain— her body slightly crouched to the side and was about to lose her balance if not for his hand that reached towards her waist and hand, steadying her. The young maiden looked up and came face to face with the Hwarang.
"Are you okay?" he asks, eyebrows furrowed in worry.
"Y-yeah." she lies, trying to control her expression but immediately failed once she tried to stand up straight as pain shoots up her ankle. She couldn't help but stumble towards Yeowool who immediately caught her once again.
"Yah. What's wrong with you?"
"My foot." she says quietly.
"What?" the Hwarang dumbly looks at her suddenly embarrassed expression and then remembers her sprained foot from the hunting event a few days ago.
