Yunho was standing a few metres away from the big tree where Mingi, Eunbyul and Taeyang were sleeping. He was looking at all of them with a bright smile on his face, thanking every god, goddess and other entities for sparing his beloved one's life in his mind.
After Yunho gave Mingi the healing tonic that he made himself the brown-haired man dozed off almost instantly. That meant that the youngster's body has accepted the medicine and that Mingi was going to be okay.
After Eunbyul and the twin dragons returned from the source of water Yunho thanked them and bowed. The young woman gave him an exhausted smile, her eyes were still red and puffy from crying.
After a short conversation the only rose among the thorns decided to join Mingi under the fully-bloomed sakura and sat next to him. Taeyang made himself comfortable in her lap, princess petted his back scales and the dragon let out something similar to cat's purring. They all fell asleep leaving only Yunho and Hwanghon awake.
"Thank you for keeping an eye on them, I can't imagine what would happen if I was late..." Tears started to well up in man's eyes.
"Don't think about that, young one. All that matters is that you came and saved him. Thank you." Yunho looked behind the two of them and saw three sleeping cuties, he smiled once again as he whipped his tears away from his beautiful and deep ebony eyes.
"We will leave early in the morning, can you take care of them? I'll go look for some food and horses, I don't think that any of them will be able to walk tomorrow. Also, this way it will be much faster to get back to the royal palace in the capital."
Hwanghon nodded his head and gave the man with raven hair gesture to go. Yunho glanced to the tree and vanished into the pitch-black darkness of the night.

San was sitting on the wooden floor. A plate with filled dumplings and a cup with a jug containing hot exotic brown beverage in it were laying next to him. San was holding a decorated pipe near his lips. He was in a love-hate relationship with smoking, he knew that it's bad for his body but he couldn't help himself, it made him feel more relaxed.
He was looking at the garden just like that night when his brother returned home. San let out a deep sigh, his cheeks flushed at the memory of a kiss. The emperor stuffed one of the dumplings to his mouth, chewing it, letting the delicious and balanced taste of the ingredients fill his mouth.
A woman's hand grabbed one of the dumplings and in the blink of an eye it was eaten. "Can't you act more like a lady?" San closed his eyes and let out a low growl and a cloud of smoke out of his mouth.
"Aish Sannie~ I may look like a woman but I'm still vixen, I don't care about etiquette, I'm not a mere human being, you should know that by now." Gumiho hissed slightly while she devoured another piece of food. "You are no fun. All you do is the emperor's job, you don't go out to have fun. You are locked in your own palace like a bird in a golden cage, what kind of life is this?"
