10 Teach a lesson to your Brother!

Hani and Bon Hwa arrived outside the tea house. Since this was the evening time so many men could be seen inside the tea house. The tea house was quite big with wooden interior structure. Lanterns and lamps were placed all around the tea house making the structure marvelous and glowing in the night time.

"The tea house owner knows me. I mean I used to work here as a storyteller for the women. Men came here more in number but some rooms in the above floor are fixed for women," muttered Hani.

"You never told me," murmured Bon Hwa. Hani looked at her and answered, "I did not know you that time. Let's go because we cannot be late." They stepped towards the stairs when Hani asked, " Wait a second. Are you sure your brother is inside?"

"He comes here everyday," stated Bon Hwa and then covered her mouth from a silk cloth. Hani then smiled and the two girls then went inside the tea house. The owner of the tea house, Jae Beom recognized Hani and walked near here.

"After such a long time you come here. What commotion will you create now?" muttered Jae Beom in a low voice. Hani laughed and said, "Ahjussi, I did not do anything that time. That man was touching me so I just poured hot tea on his hand so that he will not do such a thing in future."

"Girl, you were lucky that day. Do not create any such nuisances today. Well all the women miss your stories," said Jae Beom. Bon Hwa was just listening to their talks.

"You know that Orabani scolded me a lot when he found out about this, that's why I gave up on that profession. Well, now I am here for something else. Just let me serve the tea to the customers here," said Hani and smiled.

"Ah…you're lucky because I needed four more girls for the work. You can do the work in place of them," stated Jae Beom when he was called by a man on the counter. "I should go now. There's no need to explain to you I think." Saying this Jae Beom walked away.

"Hani, my brother is here. I have to hide," panicked Bon Hwa. Hani looked at the entrance and saw four men coming inside.

"Which one of them is your brother?" asked Hani, whispering in Bon Hwa's ear. Bon Hwa pointed her finger towards Sunwo and before he could see her, she ran from there. Hani got confused about who could be Bon Hwa's brother. Hani went behind them and saw every girl and woman from the first floor looking at them.

Hani observed the four men. One of them was wearing Pink silk robes with violet colored imprints on that and was fanning himself with a fan. "He can not be Sunwo orabani," murmured Hani and then looked at the other three. The other two looked good but not resemble Sunwo according to Hani.

Hani turned her gaze at the man who was standing in between them. He was wearing plain blue robes with sky blue colored flowers imprints on the entire clothes. "Hmm, this man looks like Sunwo orabani. Sunwo orabani, please forgive this little sister but I have to teach you a good lesson then you will never come here. Haha…," giggled Hani and went towards their table.

"What kinds of tea are you looking for?" asked Hani politely. One of them who was in grey robes told her about the tea they wanted. Hani told them to wait for five minutes and walked away from there. Hani told one of the girls about the order and waited there.

"Where is Bon Hwa? How could she leave me here all of a sudden? But I guess she is quite afraid of her oppa. Don't worry Bon, your brother will not be able to speak for a few days." Her thoughts were broken when the girl handed her the tray on which there were four porcelain cups and a porcelain teapot.

Hani thanked her and went towards the table to serve them the tea. "Well, the exam is next week and after we will qualify we will not be able to come here," said Sung Tae.

"Hmm. Sungkyunkwan has so many restrictions. For at least a year we will be locked up inside those four walls," said Sunwo and fanned himself. Yes, Hani has assumed the wrong person as Sunwo. Hani put the tray there and poured them tea. In one cup she has already put a lot of red chili spices and then gave the cup to the person sitting beside Sunwo. She then gave the other cups to the others and put the teapot there. Carrying the tray she walked aside and waited for the person which she was assuming Sunwo to drink the tea.

For a few minutes he did not drink which made Hani nervous. After a while the person gulped the tea in one shot. "Sorry oppa," muttered Hani and ran away. That person was none other than Do Yeong. He started coughing badly and the tears started falling from his eyes. The three fellows with him got confused seeing him.

"Water, water," murmured Yeong. Sunwo shouted to bring the water for Yeong. Water was being given to him. Jae Beom came there and asked about the commotion. "Who is that girl who served him the tea?" asked Sung Tae angrily.

Jae Beom asked about this from the girls working there. "She used to narrate stories here," stated a girl. Jae Beom got panicked hearing that.

"No one shouldn't leave this place," Sung Tae shouted angrily and then looked at Jae Beom. "Else, I'll make sure to destroy this tea house." Sung Tae further said. Jae Beom fell on his knees and started pleading for the mercy. The guards came there and blocked the every entrance of the tea house. A chaos was created in the entire tea house.

Hani who was on the other end searching for Bon Hwa heard Sung Tae's threat to Jae Beom. "I cannot let Ahjussi get involved in this," murmured Hani and walked towards them.

"Master, we were not able to find the girl. She has run away," said one of the guards to Sung Tae. Yeong was coughing badly which angered Sung Tae.

"I will make sure to catch that feisty girl who tried doing this. Catch her at any cost else-" Sung Tae didn't even complete his words when Hani came forward and accepted her crime. "I was the one who made him drink this," said Hani loudly.

Chan Sul walked to her and grabbed her hands. He pushed Hani ahead when Hani growled, "How dare you touch me?" Sung Tae gestured to the guards to hold the girl tightly. The two guards held Hani's arms. "Bring some sweets," shouted Sung Tae and looked at Do Yeong.

Sunwo stepped ahead and he put the fan under Hani's chin. "Why did you do that? Who are you?" Sunwo inquired. Hani was going to turn her face away when Sunwo put the pressure on her chin by the fan he was holding.

"Master, leave the girl. I'm sure she made a mistake." Jae Beom tried to control the situation from getting it worse. "Ahjussi, I made him drink this tea intentionally." Hani said the truth. Sung Tae laughed and said, "you're a feisty one. I know how to handle such girls. She will be punished along with her family for doing such a thing." Hearing this, Hani got worried.

"Do not involve my family in this. I will accept the punishment," shouted Hani with a glare in her eyes. Sung Tae handed the sweets bowl to Yeong and went near Hani.

"This you should have think before doing such a thing," stated Sung Tae and told the guards to take her from there when Bon Hwa came there and stopped them.

"Orabani, I told her to do this. Do not punish her," said Bon Hwa and told the guards to let her go. She asked Hani whether she was fine to which Hani responded a yes.

"What do you mean?" Sunwo asked, looking at Bon Hwa.

"Orabani, you never spend time with your sister. You always enjoy things with your friends so we thought to teach a lesson to you. Sorry, Yeong Orabani you have to suffer because of me. That drink was not intended for you," stated Bon Hwa.

"Whatever is the reason this girl should know what is the crime to do such a thing. If I will leave her like this then what message we will going to send to the others?" said Sung Tae.

"The one who has suffered is not speaking a word. I mean I will do whatever he wants me to do," asserted Hani looking at Do Yeong.

With difficulty Yeong said, "let her go. Let both of them go." Hani smiled hearing this and ran towards Yeong. She put a sweet honey bottle before him which she always placed in her pouch. Yeong looked at her hand on which she was wearing a beaded bracelet. He looked at Hani again and thanked her. Hani again apologized to him. Glaring at Sung Tae & Chan Sul, she turned to Sunwo.

"Orabani, you should spend time with your sister too. She misses you a lot," said Hani. Sunwo looked at Bon Hwa and apologized to her. Hani became happy and after sometime she left from there.
