"Just now," he replied. "Don't worry, I haven't heard everything you said, though I can imagine it vividly in my head." He chuckled softly as he looked back and forth between the faces that were staring at him as if they have just seen a ghost.

"I've seen and heard a lot already. Do you think I was deaf to all those whispers in the palace?"
"I-I just," Joon Wo paused, lost for words, not being able to give an excuse.
