𓇢𓆸 “Hyung-nim! Hyung-nim, you’re going to stay with us forever now, right?” At Hyungseo’s bright question, Yoonso’s steps faltered. Yoonso looked down at Hyungseo for a moment before swinging their clasped hands back and forth energetically. This made Hyungseo burst into laughter. Even though he had grown quite a bit, seeing such a pure, childlike boy brought a gentle smile to Yoonso’s lips. “What should I do? I have to leave soon.” “Really? Where are you…- 173.1 K • Ongoing
- "……What?" "Would you like to check what's inside this sachet?" The woman untied the sachet from her waist and spoke in a suggestive tone. Just as Yoonso was about to nod, thinking it would be nice to take a look, Hwi wrapped an arm around Yoonso’s neck, pulling him back as if to restrain him. "This boy’s curiosity surpasses that of a newborn puppy, so I worry he might cause unnecessary trouble." A newborn puppy for a young man about to come of age? Glaring at Hwi for the inappropriate…

- A faint smile flickered across Hwi’s lips before vanishing. When he had rented the entire top floor for just a single night’s stay, Yoonso had suspected he was overflowing with wealth, but his assumptions were nothing compared to the reality. “And I plan to stay there for five days.” “What?” The shocking news made Yoonso’s neck stiffen. He pulled the reins to stop his horse and asked, “Why do you intend to rest there?” “I plan to handle some merchant group business I…

- Yoonso gazed calmly out the window at the steady drizzle of rain. Half a month had already passed. Today was his birthday, the day he was supposed to undergo his coming-of-age ceremony, and the day he was meant to enter the palace. In other words, it was also the day when the Soga family could no longer deceive the imperial court. He could delay his palace entry by citing illness or some other excuse, but that was unlikely to be overlooked so easily by the imperial court. Thus, it was certain that…

- As they stepped outside, the rain had stopped, and only faint dark clouds drifted beneath the clear moon in Hwi’s view. “Is this place always so crowded?” Even though the sun had fully set, the crowd seemed larger than before, and Yoonso looked around curiously. He had thought the marketplace was lively during the earlier hours, but now he saw that everyone walking the streets had bright expressions. “The Festival of Rejuvenation is approaching, isn’t it?” “Oh… That’s…

- “I can’t do that.” Hwi’s calm declaration made Yoonso’s shoulders slump. His response implied it wasn’t merely a matter of will. Of course, it wouldn’t be that simple. How could such a thing be easy? Fidgeting with his hands and picking at his fingertips, Yoonso noticed, far off, a person on a small boat crossing the river, using a long pole to collect the remnants of fallen sky lanterns from the water. Some wishes grow tall like thriving trees, reaching the heavens, while others…

- “What are you looking at?” The man who had bumped Yoonso’s shoulder was the one picking a fight. Judging by his attire, he seemed to be a young master from some wealthy household, so Yoonso silently averted his gaze. But perhaps that irritated the man, as he grabbed Yoonso’s arm. “Are you ignoring me?” “I’m sorry. I thought it would be better to step aside for you.” Trying to back away politely, Yoonso felt the man’s grip tighten on his arm. Though he had kept his eyes…

- “Aaargh!” A sound like wooden furniture shattering echoed across the dirt ground. Yoonso, his spine stiffening, stood frozen, staring at Hwi. “Bad habits need to be corrected.” In contrast to his ruthless act of harming the man, Hwi’s voice was utterly dry. He glanced at the man writhing in pain, soaked in his own urine, then turned away. Hwi grabbed Yoonso’s arm and started walking. As they slipped through the crowd surrounding them, Yoonso, who had been led like a puppet by…

- Yoonso traced the path of his own question in his mind, searching for its origin, but found himself lost in confusion. Unable to discern where it came from or where it was headed, he hesitated. At that moment, Hwi’s lips curved into a slanted line. “You speak as if your fate is so fortunate. In my merchant group, I am… like an emperor, so to speak.” “What? That’s an awfully grand comparison!” Yoonso’s eyes widened, and he nearly jumped from his seat, prompting Hwi to laugh as if…

- Oh, if Yeongchunhwa’s escape became known, it would bring great disgrace to both the imperial court and Yeongchunhwa, so they might be pursuing him discreetly. However, tracking Yeongchunhwa would involve Yongrin, and even so, it was hard to believe it could be this quiet. In the end, Yoonso arrived at the assumption that either his father was still successfully hiding him, or perhaps they wouldn’t waste manpower on capturing a single Yeongchunhwa. Yoonso mulled over the latter possibility in his…
