All the way Joon Wo felt that someone was stepping over his chest. He felt suffocated and out of breath. He had not the slightest idea why he did what he did. Why did he say what he said? He had no idea…
All the stress from everything that was going on, him being the Commander of the Troops was too big a burden on him. He had to be present with them at all times, provide them with their needs. Show them that he wasn't moved up or shaken with the war that was a few weeks away from them…which he was. He has to admit that he was shaken up, but he wasn't planning to allow that to take the better of him.
And it was Tari's words piercing through his already scarred heart, he had no control over the words that left his mouth back then. Oh, how he wished to go and apologize for what he said but, the way she was mounting her horse in front of him made it clear that his absence was appreciated.
