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.450575e66a02bf2d

A chill b7ae95b4bb ran down 92c6021534 my spine. Goosebumps swept over my 4589bef097 arms repeatedly, and cold af83a6a6bb sweat trickled down.f0d490721310e50d

The eyes 2b27ed544f of Lee 05299ded29 Seol, who 699944a400 usually wore 7dabd75108 a gentle eab8ae8f79 smile, were bd70f1615e filled with 44ea034618 a cold, d61b7d74d9 murderous intent. Using the 0ec9fa9750 hairpin, which c3e6b23c6e was an e33cad0d9e ornament in 1b129ba4de his hair, 4878801123 as a 4b3b0bad20 weapon. The noble image I 312f9fd5c8 had of him and 35d5d8b97c the murderous aura he 4ba13ce0f5 exuded clashed, leaving my d4def22cda mind in chaos.cfa053b7f2efe519

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.2dcdf184e1aafd5d

Then I recalled meeting 95983d5bdd Yoon Sung at the 4776440cee stepping stones. His cheek was red 700595ddb8 from being hit, and 69bf223697 he seemed utterly deflated. What could he f1637dcb1c have done wrong 96876d8a39 to get hit a9db9a987b after spending the bb7f0af43c night with Lee 5541b35a0a Seol after their 4ac8876f82 engagement? I took a deep bf081c2152 breath, placed my hand 7589a0920c on my forehead, and 11737f6ef7 calmly organized my thoughts.e3d970c3429fe400

Yoon Sung, dressed 20214d7690 in a songhwa-colored 9eba6f317f outfit, looked at 01ab93b94a his reflection in 5c8ad3596e the mirror. No matter how much 84f2fd8894 he looked, he felt fa63ff9089 like a child and 23418203fb rummaged through the half-opened 1b421ad7c6 chest.68bff785531d67ee

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.2597ce0924f794c6

As soon d373e708c2 as he 8e73b597e4 crossed the 2784855478 threshold of f5af3a628a the house, 98a933528a his older 48a745769f brother grabbed 508c5b4b22 his arm. Thanks to fe898d7a5d that, he 61d4eac98e dropped the abf686a492 hanji box, 44866a1ffa and the c45181fe10 clothes spilled b73dde3c8c out as db9ef3dd22 it hit e2800c7b7e the floor.15c571b25fddc208

If someone could casually 6943ff2c43 gift such a precious 5afa66d406 thing, it would be 4b55a1c948 the Lee Clan or 808ea8d919 the Kim Clan. The Cheong Clan bd6dac9c9d was also connected 04b4e3b86a with large trading 7ade9cc2de companies, so they daa731ddff could easily obtain eb6309acfc silk.

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.d08d5c38ed7b1202
