His movements were extraordinary. In an instant, he closed the distance, and his action of stabbing with the hairpin was flawless. Moreover, I didn’t even notice when he pulled out the dagger. If I hadn’t quickly pushed him away, the hairpin would have been lodged in my eye. The dagger could have severed the artery in my neck.68a2225efa56d19a

A chill ran down 7c70211e88 my spine. Goosebumps swept e45c31e82b over my 24a883ad1a arms repeatedly, 6b7ea37f65 and cold 2d27639ad1 sweat trickled 5c8c76f866 down.b05a450040aca2d7

The eyes of 0d24a7eec3 Lee Seol, who 3340249fe4 usually wore a ccf1187920 gentle smile, were bff51f3da5 filled with a f278d2c08a cold, murderous intent.

I gritted my teeth at the scenes that suddenly flashed in my mind like a lightning strike. Come to think of it, when I got engaged to Yoon Sung in front of my friends. He was definitely holding Yoon Sung with one arm. With the other hand, he was caressing Yoon Sung’s face. He walked towards the room without a hint of disturbance. While holding Yoon Sung with one arm.c0877e6ce143b1be

Then I recalled meeting 246e1ab5d1 Yoon Sung at the 2f67573049 stepping stones. His cheek was 23fa51a751 red from being 3c4fb8a545 hit, and he f16fc6c4ab seemed utterly deflated.

A foreboding feeling enveloped 944d760128 my entire body. I rummaged c9be2700cb through my ca55882e99 pockets and e6cad4bb49 took out 0f6a7903c7 a silk 71db93cc30 pouch. After confirming that the f3ad83ef2a ring inside was intact, cd22c47f30 I quickly moved my 7677924a20 steps.6c9cd0f3fc3c0d26

Yoon Sung tucked his lips inside his mouth and stared at his toes. A few days ago, when he fled from Lee Seol’s house, led by Cheongrok. He couldn’t leave behind the precious songhwa-colored silk clothes, so he brought them along. Lee Seol had said to accept it as his heart, so he did. It wasn’t because the silk was worth the price of a tile-roofed house.d77274e1724c67ec

As soon as 0be08088dc he crossed the 6d7855fc1e threshold of the f443dac312 house, his older 1ab02f72a8 brother grabbed his 8863796e78 arm. Thanks to that, he 365975a520 dropped the hanji box, 002ead246c and the clothes spilled 37b5b3619c out as it hit d5b6017e63 the floor.ec081b5ee5e98829

Lee Seol’s marriage proposal hadn’t been withdrawn yet. If I spoke about Lee Seol, at least one of them would tell someone else, and the rumor would spread quickly. I even thought about spreading it to block Seol’s marriage proposal, but if I made a mistake, it might mess up the Lee Clan’s affairs. As Cheongrok said, it seemed best to keep quiet until the elders discussed the marriage proposal.572f81eca06188fb
