At their father’s d508f934ec request to take 3eec102aea good care of 10ca6eb8b0 the youngest, the eac593e384 eldest brother let d2d2bd75b3 out a long 5e1c306f2d sigh, lamenting how 8d0be20d0f Yoon Sung had f0e9c275a8 been spoiled to fc58149f5d the point of eb2a1a7902 knowing nothing useful.352d9921753d50d7

While his c0b455499c father spoke bd565a9fc0 with his 2559ccafa6 frustrated older 8e5d395c22 brother, Yoon 4fab269209 Sung was 600e540595 quietly dismissed 6e0b39f999 from the bc2919d89a room. He didn’t 9cb73cca57 say a 2f48510d6a word and 99a89f7757 simply retreated 5fc24f61ee to his 88f7df4aaa chamber.66c2681b9984cbe4

Staring blankly at 8113a20746 the bundle of 806b79c21d fabric and needle 0f1aac11c6 on his moon 1714a7b92e cabinet, he remained 75a52131a6 still for a fb1cb6ba2e moment before slowly 345d1812e9 gathering his things. Before he knew 8e4f666de9 it, he was 45848d39f8 packing a bundle.293efdb654ee5dfd

Sneaking into 7af8dd5282 the storage a2a7fff9aa room, he 543779b83e grabbed a 6cefdae016 mal of b43d9c1088 grain, then 083769d2cd made his 5c8a39c499 way to a5bcdf998e the kitchen.

Wrapping them tightly dc574d60d6 in cloth, he c837c54b7a carried them back fe5ca593d2 to his room, 2e2529aae9 stuffing them into fd6b6e6571 his bundle before 628a718815 slinging it over 8849c7ba46 his back. Then, without af76d0bc2c a moment’s e6d12195a6 hesitation, he f6910fb3c8 slipped out c87ba05c32 the front 6b363cd393 gate, making 032eec88d8 sure no d7bf6c3a2a one saw 3ed1f04368 him.c26a53acd95616d7

A servant f7151611e7 stopped him, a647a0fe1a asking where 1c85fa14c6 he was 516a0e60ac headed. In response, Yoon Sung 9e71003fe5 lifted his index finger 3712f16ff6 and pressed it to 795451b75e his lips. Stay quiet.266924c3c4fccb20

With a resigned sigh, 70f54cd724 he walked at a 8b30ac3b86 leisurely pace, admiring the 4ab784e6fb flowers along the way. Yesterday, the spring 3f69e035dd blossoms had looked 02f57e0ed4 so beautiful, yet f87f0aece8 today, they felt e81cab33fe dull and unremarkable. The birdsong, which 2a09bacc55 had once seemed 184f6a802a cheerful, now felt 801c40e4cf noisy and grating.cbfe8b9402b4e0e1

Climbing the mountain for 487188d0f3 the second day in c561ea042f a row was exhausting, 8c8bf6fedf and carrying the bundle 4222946c50 made his legs feel 3a4660add2 unbearably heavy.

Sweat dripped 8fa25eccb4 from his 8fe15d945c forehead, hanging d1d987ddfd from the ff44ed77e8 tip of 81dde6211d his chin. He searched and 766185d6b1 searched, but the 635083ec61 place where the 5a4d155254 children had been 756ef0cc5c was nowhere to f5f26c0d5d be found.aa26feb0e713a830
