Soo-Ah had a sense of unease, thinking about Ho-Orabeoni, but she put on a nonchalant mask. "Oh, years ago, when we last parted and the war started. When grandfather and I went to the northern fortress. He wanted to take me with him."
Jung-In's quizzical expression went to another level prompting Soo-Ah to shade more light. As much as she could without spilling any unsavoury details about what she had witnessed back then. "He wanted to take me with him saying I would be safer. But I could never have left grandfather's side, with everything that fell upon us. Where was I supposed to come back if I had left with Ho-Orabeoni? How would I have found my grandfather? Frankly, it has been so long since I've seen brother Ho and I have been through so much that there is of no consequence to me to find his whereabouts." For now, at least, she had no intention to ask or talk about Ho-Orabeoni.
