In an attempt to ease his wife's already anxious mind, Hyun got up, and slowly walked towards the guard. He squatted down, checking the man's pulse.
"He's still breathing." Hyun declared after a short while, then added comfortingly. "It's alright. You didn't kill him, just knocked him out."
"Oh…" Jung-Hee opened her mouth, letting out a deep breath of relief. "Thank heavens!"
After this adventure, the couple decided they should keep on walking until they reached their destination, instead of stopping for a break. Both of them were afraid that someone else might pop out from behind a tree and attack them.
Thus, without caring about the guard one bit, Hyun picked up his sword, and quickly took Jung-Hee away from there.
During the next hour, they haven't met any other person, and thus, managed to reach a safer area without any further incidents.
