The day had finally arrived when Choa’s house invited her.

After the training ended for Gwangho Army unit, Yeonwoo stood in front of Dae Bok’s tent, looking bored.

Dae Bok insisted on changing clothes and kept delaying, making Yeonwoo wait for a long time until he finished changing into his formal attire.

However, no matter how long she waited, Dae Bok showed no sign of coming out.

Yeonwoo, tired of waiting, urged in an impatient voice, “Are you sewing the clothes to put on? Why is it taking so long?”

“W-Wait a little, I’m almost done!”

When sounds of hastily changing clothes were heard from inside, Yeonwoo saw someone approaching from a distance.

!

Seeing the approaching figure, Yeonwoo quickly hid behind Dae Bok’s tent.

Even after the non-approach order was lifted, Yeonwoo avoided him all day until Gun’s glare completely disappeared.

It was unpredictable when Gun, with his eerie eyes, would attack her again.

Moreover, memories of the moments when she faced Gun kept coming back, making her face blush. She didn’t know how to face him.

Even if she organized her feelings, it seemed insufficient. What should she do if her heart continued to beat like this?

When nervously hiding behind the tent, a voice came from behind Yeonwoo.

“What are you doing here?”

“Mom!”

Turning around at the sudden voice, Gun was already close, looking at Yeonwoo.

Checking Gun’s complexion, Yeonwoo asked, “Is the non-approach order still valid?”

Gun shook his head, and Yeonwoo breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn’t handle the aggressive Gun from a couple of days ago, but now it seemed like the side effects of the medicine had worn off.

The embarrassing memory of their sudden kiss was momentarily forgettable, so in many ways, it was fortunate.

“Aren’t you going home?”

“Oh, I have plans today.”

“Plans?”

Gun showed a reaction as if he had never heard of it before.

“I didn’t hear you had plans today.”

Perhaps he wanted to ask if it was an appointment with Ryu Biyoung. However, fearing she might look petty if she asked, Gun held back.

Fortunately, Yeonwoo spoke first.

“Today, I was invited to Choa Agassi’s house with Dae Bok Hyung.”

“Choa, huh…”

“Yes. Do you remember her from before?”

Gun recalled Choa, who had come to Gwangho Army unit some time ago, and nodded.

Relieved that it wasn’t an appointment with Ryu Biyoung, he asked, “Where is it?”

“In Mundang Village, the third straw-roofed house… Wait, are you coming too?”

“Why can’t I go? Even Dae Bok is going.”

When Gun asked as if there was a problem, surprised Yeonwoo jumped up from her seat.

“No, weren’t you pointing a knife at Agassi’s neck the other day! If you suddenly show up at Agassi’s place, she won’t like it!”

Since when had he become so interested in other people’s affairs?

It was unclear why the nobleman, who had never been like this before, suddenly acted like this.
Yeonwoo, who had been with Gun for a long time, was an unusual case, but for most people, it was common to feel uncomfortable or fearful around Gun.

If Choa saw Gun visiting her house, it was likely she would be shocked and bewildered.

Gun responded awkwardly, whether he knew his position or not, saying, “Are you going to leave me alone? I’m still sick.”

“Is the sick person going out to play with their subordinates?”

“…….,”

When Yeonwoo said that, Gun had nothing to say.

However, due to the recent non-approach order issued to Yeonwoo, and the fact that he hadn’t seen her properly, he didn’t want to enter a house without her.

Using this excuse, Gun made up an excuse that he couldn’t let Yeonwoo go.

“It seems like there are side effects left from the medicine I took the day before yesterday.”

“Huh, side effects?”

Yeonwoo, who had a guilty conscience, flinched.

“Yeah. I feel like I have a fever again, and I feel dizzy.”

For the first time since he was born, Gun attempted a lie.

There was no way Gun, who could quickly recover even if a hole was pierced in his stomach or an arrow hit his chest, would drag out such a minor ailment for so long.

“But……”

But Yeonwoo, who fell for Gun’s bright lie, was caught in a dilemma.

She couldn’t cancel the promise with Choa, and she couldn’t leave Gun, who was in pain, alone.

In the end, Yeonwoo made her own decision.

“Well then, I’ll be back by the evening. Before 9 PM.”

“Got it.”

“I made vegetable porridge, so have that for dinner.”

“Okay.”

“The newly made medicinal broth is placed next to the pot, so make sure to have it after dinner.”

“Sure.”

Gun, satisfied with the promise to return quickly, finally left.

Just as Dae Bok finished changing, Yeonwoo, who saw him coming out of the tent, widened her eyes.

The hat Dae Bok wore was obviously made with the finest craftsmanship, and on the brim of the hat, a new-shaped jade ornament was attached.

The decorated strap was made of luxurious silk and added elegance, and the white jade pendant hanging on the handkerchief had a glamorous pattern.
