10 Chapter 10

She slowly took the trimmer, moved closer to Han yul and was about to Pierce The knife into her skin. She suddenly heard wol's foot steps, thoughts started roaming through her mind.

' if she notice that the wound is gone, she would freak out and tell everyone about it, my Han yul would be the center of attraction, people pointing fingers at her all around, they'll call her a witch and might kill her in the end. No...no I can't let this happen, there's only one thing to do' she decided to cut her hand. Wol came in holding a clean cloth.

" Ma'am your hand is..."

" I know, give me the cloth, I'll wrap it up"

" What about lady Han yul?"

" Surprisingly it wasn't her, it was me, you can go now"

' that's strange, am sure I saw lady Han yul being cut, but how can....' her attention went to the wound. 'oh my.....I think am really going mad'. She came back from her thoughts when lady chaewon called out her name.

" Y....yes." she said absent mindedly.

" What were you thinking, I called you more than thrice."

" Oh, am... sorry, I'll go now" she was about to go, when she noticed Han yul's hand moving. " Her hand just moved" she shouted excitedly.

Lady chaewon laid Han yul's head on her laps and sprinkled a little water on her face, Han yul's face twitched.

" Han yul dear, can you hear me, it's your mother" she said slightly tapping her face.

" M...mother..." she grunted.

Lady chaewon held Han yul tightly " finally" she said with a smile, " wol, tell ji woon to call physician ma-dong immediately and tell yoona to pass the good news to her father." My Han yul is finally awake!, don't forget to bring us some food"

" Yes ma'am" wol replied excitedly and went out.

" Mom, what happened?" Han yul asked with a trembling voice.

" Speak no more, you need to eat first, okay?"

Han yul nodded

Meanwhile, Yoona went to the kitchen.

" I love that aroma" she said as she entered the kitchen.

Ae yeon turned around to see yoona.

What are you cooking? I bet it's delicious."

" Sweet roasted marinated turkey, steamed rice, and beef soup"

" Wow!!, That's big brother's favorite. Am curious, how did you know?"

" I know all his likes and dislikes."

" That's great then, you will take the food to big brother when you're done."

" Really?" She shouted happily, " I mean okay, I will". Ae yeon replied calmly.

" O..Kay, I'll take my leave now" yoona said and went out. She saw wol running toward them shouting

" Good news!, good news!, you won't believe what just happened."

" What is it?, Tell us" min tae said impatiently.

" Lady Han yul is awake" she shouted.

" Oh my". yoona jumped on her feet, made her way inside to see for her eyes. She bumped the door open and saw Han yul sitting down, their mother beside her, with a face full of joy.

" You're really awake" she said as she jumped on Han yul with the intention of giving her a hug.

" How could you.... Common get up" lady chaewon said as she slightly pushed yoona away. " Let her be"

" Mom please..." She said with a pampered voice.

" When she eats, takes her bath and rest for today, you can tell her whatever you want to..."

" Today?" Yoona quickly cuts her off.

" No tommorow, I know you two are inseparable, you can talk tommorow and go out when I think she's well, okay?"

" Yes mother" yoona replied with a smile. Her attention went towards her mother's hand which was tied with a white cloth that had blood stains on it.

" Huh!, Did you cut yourself?, It wasn't there before!"

" Yes, it was an accident" lady chaewon replied while looking at her hand. To prevent yoona from saying another word, she sent her to tell trader Soo byung hu that Han yul is awake.

Trader Soo byung hu was sitting with his son in his chambers, ik-jun talked about the journey, the success they made in xing, how he missed home and more.

" Let me show you an artwork made by Loreng reng, the best artist in Hanseong and paints I bought for yoona, I know she'll freak out when she see it." He said as he stood up, made way to his luggage and was searching for it, his back facing trader Soo byung hu.

Yoona was standing infront of ik-jun's chambers, she overheard them talking, but don't know what they are talking about. In order not to attract attention she opened the door slowly. Trader Soo byung hu, who was sitting opposite the door moved his attention towards it. He saw yoona peeping.

" Dad, Han yul is awake" she whispered.

He found it difficult to read her lips.

" Huh!!, Piggy is a whale" confused, he whispered back.

" Huh!!!, Ono is her name?", ' what is he saying' she thought. " Han, Han, yullll..." She said again.

"Oh, Han yul!" He grasped

" Yes" she nodded and continued, " is awake"

"A hawk??!!" He whispered.

Ik-jun saw his dad whispering outside

" Dad, why are you whispering?, And who is standing outside, I know it's not mom." He said as he opened the window adjacent to him, he couldn't tell who it was, for he only saw her dress, but couldn't the face.

" It's your sister," he said as he stood up " i must leave you to rest, your food is probably on the way, I also have something important to discuss with you later" he turned to leave.

" I also want to say hi to Mom and the rest, so let's go"

"No, she's with a guest now, i'll send someone to call you when we are done." He stammered and left.

" So how was your journey?" Yoona said as she sat down.

" It was incredible despite the fact that everyone in this house is hiding something from me" he said as he looked into yoona's eye.

" Why would we do such a horrible thing, we love you and we missed you so much, you know we cant hide anything from you right?" She said with an innocent face.

" At first I was doubting whether you're hiding something from me or not, but now am hundred percent sure you are."

" Big brother, how many times will I tell you that...." Before she could finish her sentence he took the artwork and the paints and placed it on her laps.

" .....Han yul went with me to the market two days ago, fainted on our way back home, her temperature was super high, she was immersed in snow, physician ma-dong checks on her regularly, mom said no one should say a word about it to you, she finally woke up, that's why I came to call dad. And thank you, thank you so much for this" she said quickly as she held the paints laughing.

" You can really talk fast!!!, did all this happen?!!! " He was surprised " am going to see hanyul." He made his way to the door.

' oh my, my mouth will be the end of me one day, mom will kill me if she found out that I told ik-jun everything.'
