The obelisk has blazed red, the leaves in the bamboo forest singing as the wind dance with them and the moonlight shine brightly that night.
"Are you going home still wearing the binyeo?"
Jeong Tae Eul and Lee Gon are still holding hands. Like not wanting to be apart for a second. When the hand is detaching and missing for holding again, it's difficult for them to make it happen. Can't make phone calls, can't see each other at acquaint and it's sadness that they can't introduce themselves to each other's world. Yes, it's like a backstreet or forbidden relationship, but actually it's about the power of love and inner bond. Because of that all of them can go about their daily lives without being present and without news until the weekend arrives.
"Ah..right. I almost forget it"
Jeong Tae Eul's hand went up to the back of her curled hair, at the same time Lee Gon's hand take holding her.
"Let me"
Lee Gon take off a simple binyeo in orange jade from Jeong Tae Eul's hair letting wavelength hair loose and gave the binyeo to her. Lee Gon reached into his jacket and took out a black hair tie. Their eyes looked at each other and smiled. Jeong Tae Eul quickly took the hair tie from Lee Gon's hand.
"Let it's me, you're not good at tying hair neatly"
"I'm a good learner if you teach and even you tie yourself leaving some of your baby hair"
Jeong Tae Eul smiled again, the King of Corea Kingdom who is always crazy and shows off always make her, happy.
"Next time I'll bring you the binyeo with dragon head"
"I don't want, it's too severe for me. Besides, my head hurts because of this hairstyle earlier"
"You have to learn to get used to it"
“Why should a detective use binyeo?” Jeong Tae Eul laughed
"I have told you many times that you will be my Queen of Corea's Kingdom"
Jong Tae Eul smiled,
"Bye Lee Gon"
she waive of Lee Gon's hand and walked away waving her hand. Lee Gon is not surprised by Jeong Tae Eul's reaction because he really understands the character of his girlfriend. Lee Gon smiled and waved his hand too.
"Bye Jeong Tae Eul, be careful on the road. See you next week!!"
He said in a shout not because he was angry but because Jeong Tae Eul kept walking away even though he hadn't finished talking and he wanted Jeong Tae Eul to hear it.
The obelisk disappeared ...

In Jeong Tae Eul's room can't sleep. This is not the first time Lee Gon has said he will make herself Queen of Corea. No, it's not that she doesn't want to. But imagining palace life she couldn't, leaving her father, her job, and all her friends she couldn't. The most important thing is what if she married with Lee Gon, is it okay if 2 different worlds become one? That would violate the punishments of nature, but what if that was the fate that was laid down for them?"No. I can't think too far, I only live for today"
Jeong Tae Eul closed his eyes and fell asleep

22 May 2022
At the BBQ Chicken restaurant a man and a woman sit opposite each other on a table filled with a plate of chicken, beer bottles, glasses and soju.
"Really I won't want to come if you don't treat me again this time" said Koo Seo Gyeong
"Stupid, this is the first time I know someone has a birthday but he even asked me to pay for her food"
"That's because you asked me what gift I wanted, Mr. Kang Hyeon Min. But may I ask for another present after this gift?"
"Hey! I can report you squeeze against the police!"
"No one police can squeeze the either"
"Therefore you must be more kind to the police in front of you"
They both meet each other's eyes and laugh happily.---
Jongo Station .."Tae Eul last night there was a report of a murder in the Seongbuk-gu area. You go with Ji Hyun as well as teach him" said Manager Park.
"Oh no, it's a bad Monday. Why should I teach every new assistant"
"Don't complain, I even gave you special permission, no work for you every weekend. Or I need to act harder on you, I'll make you work until Sunday. Ah yes, you never introduced that person to us"
"Manager Park, stop lecturing. Fine, I'll handle this case. Instead of you wondering who the person is always with me, you take care of your solitude or I'll report to your wife"
"Shitt !! This child is always rude to me"
"Ji Hyun, come on" said Jeong Tae Eul, heeding Manager Park's words.
That afternoon the sun was very hot, they both arrived at the location. Detective Shim and Gyeong Ran are busy with the evidence there. Several reporters wanted to enter but were prevented by Jeong Tae Eul.
