Chapter 9 - 09 People Who Are Worried

Soo Chan was silent on the porch of his house while watching the daytime sky that was quite bright today, inversely proportional to his face that looked dark cloudy. This happened because for almost a week Soo Chan had never met Seoyoon. The last time he met was at lunch together on the day of his father's accident, since that day Seoyoon has never been seen, even at the village health hall she didn't come to work.

"What are you thinking?"

The question that Yong Cha asks, who just came out of the room makes Soo Chan switch his attention. The young man smiled at his father who was already sitting next to him. "I was thinking of Seoyoon," he replied honestly.

"What happen with that girl?" asked Yong Cha.

"She hasn't been seen in a week. Even in the health hall she was not seen," Soo Chan replied and sighed heavily. "I was afraid that something would happen to her."

Yong Cha patted the boy on the shoulder, trying to give peace to the young man. "By the way, your mother seems to have been out of the house for too long. Where did she go?" Yong Cha just realized that his wife hasn't come back since an hour ago to ask permission to go out of the house.

"I'll look for her," said Soo Chan volunteered but prevented his father when he was about to stand up.

"Stay here, i'll look for her."

Meanwhile, the woman Soo Chan is worried about is staying in her room. She didn't do anything, just kept silent while looking at the view of the courtyard of his residence through the window. It has been one week he was locked up by his parents in the room because they know if he works in the health center and is very interested in herbs.

The reason why her parents forbade her to study herbs was because they didn't want the palace to think that Seoyoon could one day make the beneficial herbs poisonous. The Palace, especially the queen and the dowager queen, strongly disliked the family of Grand Prince Eunho. They were afraid that one day the prince would overthrow the king and even kill the Crown Prince.

"I can really die of boredom if i stay in my room all the time," Seoyoon said to Ryeon who was also there with her.

"Do you want to knit?" asked Ryeon offers activities that the princess can do.

"That seems like a good idea," said Seoyoon agreeing to the offer from her servant. "I haven't knitted for a long time either."

Seoyoon moved from her seat to change position, but as she stood up her head felt dizzy, even the whole room seemed to be spinning. The next second the woman fell unconscious, making the waitress panic.

"Princess!"

While watching every woman he crosses paths with, Yong Cha tries to find the whereabouts of his wife who hasn't returned since permission to leave an hour ago. The man feels that if something happens to his wife, it's because Myeong Hee doesn't usually leave for a long time. His footsteps slowly began to slow down as he faintly heard a familiar sound in his ear from his left. Intrigued by the source of the sound, Yong Cha rushed into the path to his left.

The Voice of a woman became clearer and made Yong Cha immediately run. Yong Cha's eyes are perfectly round when he finds his wife being treated disrespectfully by Park Dong Soo. Soon anger overtook Yong Cha. He runs towards Dong Soo, grabs the man violently and pushes him to the ground.

"You bastard!"Dong Soo is upset.

"You're more of a jerk! You're also completely shameless! Is one wife not enough for you that you're after someone else's wife?" asked the annoyed Yong Cha.

"Before you knew this woman, I wanted her first! But you came and took it from me!"Dong Soo made Yong Cha laugh.

"I took it from you? Yong Cha laughed again, "you should be self-conscious, Park Dong Soo-ssi! Myeong Hee prefers me as her husband because I'm much younger than you!"he continued that after that he chose to leave Dong Soo who was already seen to be erupting like a volcano.

"You bastard! See you later, I'll repay you Jung Yong Cha!" his determination.

" You shouldn't have acted like that to her, Honey, " said Myeong Hee, who was on her way home. "What if that guy did something bad to you?"

Yong Cha turned his head to his wife, a smile he kept to make his wife less worried. "Don't worry, I'm good at fighting with bare hands or swords, so if he attacks me, I can finish him off, Honey."

"But still, dear. I really feel worried that something will happen to you, " Myeong Hee said in a very worried tone.

"You don't have to worry. I'll be fine, honey."

Myeong Hee only sighed after hearing her husband's answer. In her heart, the gumiho swore that she would kill Park Dong Soo if something happened to her husband. She didn't want to lose the man she loved a second time.
