"W...Woona" fear spiked in his heart. What have you done Woona.

"From long ago, I knew if I were to die by anyone's hand, I wanted it to be your hand, Dong Soo."

"You can still live... Woona." You can't die. Not yet.

"In the afterlife, I will bow my head to His Highness and to Swordmaster on my knees. And Dong Soo, you, don't blame yourself for a loser like me. Thanks, Dong Soo" Saying this, he passed out.

"Woona... Don't die, Woona... Woona!... WOONA! DON'T DIE!... WOONA..." He is still alive. I won't let you die Woona. I won't let you die. Just for a little while, you need to endure it just for a while. I will save you.

Back there, His Highness' men are taking Cho Rip back.

Dong Soo knows if they go back, Woon won't be able to live. He will be blamed for Cho Rip's condition. He binds Woon's wounds with a piece of his cloth and takes him in his arms and runs towards the forest.

Somewhere in the middle of the forest, he finds some medicinal herbs, he stops for a while, applies the herbs on Woon's wounds and binds them again. I won't let you die. He doesn't even stop to take to take a look on his own wounds and moves forward. 

~~~

Woon opens his eyes. It's night. He is in a house. He sees Dong Soo by his side. His hand holding Woon's hand firmly. He is mumbling something. At first, Woon couldn't understand what it is. Then he realizes that he is saying "I will save you, Woona... Don't die... I will save you" 

~~~

Dong Soo wakes up. Shocked. Instead of Woon, there was a piece of paper in front of him.

"Dong Soo,

The days I spent with you all on the mountains were the happiest days of my life and I cherish every moment of those days. I won't ever forget those days.

But now, days changed, I have changed. I am not the same person I was in those days. I am a killer, an assassin. I don't deserve to be a friend.

Don't worry about me, I am fine. I can't stay with you, otherwise, because of me, you will again be in problem.

I am going somewhere far away. Please don't try to find me. Because of me, there are already many problems, many have died because of me and I don't want to be the cause of more problems, I don't want to be cause of more deaths.

Go back and tell His highness that I died and also tell him that Heuksa Chorong no more exists and there won't be any more problem from any member of Heuksa Chorong.

Yeo Woon"

Tears welled up in his eyes. For hours, he stayed there, the letter in his hand, eyes filled with tears. Why Woona... Why... I told you I would never give up on you. I am sorry, my trust again wavered slightly. But I promise, it won't happen ever again. I promise... Please come back... Please...
