The others are all quiet at seeing that scene just now. Yoongi being praised by the people like this. Almost as if he already was a king. They all feel the jealousy and are a bit annoyed. Taehyung keeps staring at Yoongi on their way back. Maybe I should throw myself at him? He looks at Namjoon. But this guy is a good bet too... He clicks his tongue and runs to Namjoon again. When they arrive back in the palace they take care of the horses and are going for dinner. The ministers are looking at Yoongi, who is still wearing the hat, where some blood splatter is on. "What transpired with him? Why is he still wearing the hat?" They all look at each other and are discussing. "Who gave him those clothes?" Minister Kim sees how his son is being extremely friendly towards their subject of conversation. He frowns his brows and seems to be amused at the sight of these 8 young, promising youth.

Hoseok, Yoongi, Jin and Sa Hoon are clicking together. They are talking a lot and sometimes whispering. Namjoon is not trusting it that much. They are too friendly... Almost as if they aren't in competition anymore. Or they know something I don't... Taehyung keeps pestering him too. Touching him and flirting with him. He doesn't know how to react to it, and at one side he likes it, but at the same time he doesn't. He has seen some of his men doing 'that' when they were away from civilization and gisaengban. But he never bothered with it. Taehyung smiles handsomely at him and makes eye contact. Namjoon turns his eyes away, and can feel heat going up to his head. He is beautiful tho... He takes another bite of his food. They go for a shower in the evening. Namjoon looks at the naked Taehyung and at his delicious plump *ss. It looked so soft and squeezable. Jimin and Jungkook are washing with cold water, and Jimin is okay with that. Jin is washing up too and Yoongi is used to the use of soap and the spunge. He is secretly enjoying the foam on his skin. Hoseok looks around but can't seem to find Sa Hoon anywhere. He finishes up and returns to his house. He finds Sa Hoon on the bed. "Didn't you shower?" "I am a bit sleepy, I'll shower later." And he turns himself around in the bed. Hoseok just pulls up his shoulders and lays down, feeling freshened up.

He is snoring softly when Sa Hoon gets up and grabs some stuff. When he hears the door close, he opens one eye. Hoseok gets up and follows him again. He knows he is going to the water again. And just as he suspected, he sees Sa Hoon at the tree that fell down in the water. This time he doesn't get on it but instead walks to the side of the river, stripping. Hoseok is looking at him in surprise. He has a good view since the moon is still kinda full. Why doesn't he shower with us and goes into a cold river instead? The moment he takes off his underwear, Hoseok's eyes grow wide. He can see a white bandage around the chest. Did he get hurt somehow? He sees the rest of the figure when all clothes were off, and somehow this man seems to have a tiny waist and hourglass figure. He isn't as fat as his clothes lead on. Hoseok is staring at the guy's back, witnessing all this. Suddenly Sa Hoon turns around. Hoseok sees his chest sticking out under the bandages. No guy can have a chest like that. When Sa Hoon lets his hair loose, the picture is whole. If it isn't a guy...then it is a... a... Hoseok stumbles back as he can see Sa Hoon taking off the bandages. He is out of sight, and still is seeing only the back.

Sa Hoon looks up at hearing a rustling of bushes and snapping of twigs. She quickly covers herself again. She looks in despair into the woods. Did someone see me? She stretches her neck out and looks confused. She steps into the water, naked. She sees her reflection as she is half in. She strokes the water. "Sa Hoon... Watch over me. I miss you." She looks at her reflection and smiles. Hoseok is listening in and is not understanding. He is blushing, even tho he can't see her front. He is tired of the secrecy and wants to know what is going on. He comes out of the bushes, and approaches her slowly. "Sa Hoon?" She looks behind her in shock and covers herself with her arms. Hoseok sees a beautiful woman. Slightly chubby, revealing she comes from a rich family. She is looking and Hoseok notices her clothes. He covers his eyes after grabbing a piece of fabric and walks in the water himself reaching to her, still covering. He can feel the clothes being ripped out of his grip. He walks back to the shore and is still covering his eyes. After he hears some rustling he carefully asks. "Are you decent?" Sa Hoon confirms. He opens his eyes and sees that she only is in her underclothes. "Sa Hoon? Is that even your name?" Sa Hoon looks with sad eyes to Hoseok and slowly shakes her head. "What is your name then, and who is Sa Hoon?" She sighs. "Promise me to not tell anyone what you saw and what I'm going to tell you. If you do, I won't let you survive this night even. You know how skilled I am at the sword." She bends over and grabs her sword close. "I swear. Only if you got a good reason tho. A woman can't be king..." She grins. "Guess it's time for change then..."

They go to sit down on the fallen tree over the water. She is staring into her reflection. She points at it. "That's Sa Hoon." Hoseok looks in the water and is confused. "I just see you." She nods. "Sa Hoon is my twin brother. He died last year. The last king didn't die naturally. There was a conspiracy against him. They came after every line from the kings. How they avoided Min Yoongi, I don't know. Maybe they never guessed he has that kind of blood. Seokjin and Taehyung are too prominent families so they can't really act rashly. But my brother and me lived outside the village. My mom is a Goryeo person, but our father is a person from the far west. This isn't that well accepted in Goryeo, which explains why we were excluded from the city." Hoseok nods, That's why her eyes are this big. She continues "My brother got killed by them. My mom decided to keep my birth a secret, but I got trained to become him. My brother. For a year I walked around with his name plaque in my sleeves. His body got buried with my name plaque. For the world I am Sa Hoon now, and the real me is dead." Her voice sounds heavy.

Hoseok feels sorry for her. "I survived because I knew they were going to try again to kill me. So I got skilled in the sword art quickly to be able to defend myself." Hoseok nods. "I am going to break the mould. I am going to break walls down and rules. I will be a half westerner, and female." She gets up. "And get revenge on all those who killed my brother." She holds her fist up in the air. "All is well with that plan." Hoseok gets up too. "But what if you get found out? It's been only a week and I found out already." "I saved you from Yoongi that night. If you want to return a favor of saving  your life, you should help me." Hoseok laughs at her cleverness and wit. He looks down at her round face. "So I am not alone. Hoseok ah... if you would please keep my secret and help me to keep it from the others." Hoseok is intrigued. He smiles a half smile and nods. "Very well. I'll help you. I am wondering myself how you would manage to do it, but like you said, I am indebted to you. So I'll help you." Sa Hoon smiles a wide smile. "But tell me this, what is your name?" She looks down and shyly smiles. "My sister's name was Sa Rah." "Sa Rah... amazing. It fits." He smiles and looks at her lovely face. Something interesting just happened.

They walk back to their house. Hoseok is looking differently at her now. She is beautiful. And such an underdog story... I wonder what wave she will bring to Goryeo. Maybe for once it is going to be properly governed then. He smirks. Once in the house, he keeps his distance a bit more, but she isn't. She is completely relaxed around Hoseok, now that he is her co-conspirator. She gained an ally in her cause. "So about your sister. I overheard your father." She takes a seat next to Hoseok. "How about we go in and save them?" Hoseok looks at his hands in his lap. "I'm afraid it won't help. Where would they go?" "I think I got an idea." She smirks. Hoseok looks at her in surprise and actually gets surprised at seeing her face glow up. His breath hitches as he is gazing into her big eyes where a hint of green is in the brown. She smiles and he notices her nose bridge is higher than other Goryeo girls. "Did anyone ever tell you that you are special?" He smiles warmly at her. "Not really, mostly I was a boy and hidden as a servant girl in my house. No one notices me." Hoseok bites his lip at this sad truth. "I know. I remember when my 'father' took me in the house when I was still little and my sister a baby. I lost my real father, and then somehow this man I call father took me and my mom in. I have a suspicions that he killed my real father, and was in love with my mom. But he is a horrible man. He was violent towards everyone. I tried protecting my sister and mom. But I am not enough. I never was. Nor ever will be." She puts her arm over his shoulder and pulls him closer to her. He rests his head on her shoulder. "We can take them away. I got a plan. But we will need the help from Jungkook shi and maybe some others." Hoseok closes his eyes and relaxes on her shoulder. She is softly stroking with her fingers passed his cheekbones. He has always been this handsome, but I could not look at him properly. Now that I can, he is so amazingly hot... She blushes at these thoughts.
