“Hey, you should count yourself lucky. If it weren’t me, someone else would have you so beaten you wouldn’t even be sitting here in one piece, got it?”
“Hmph. Not scary at all.”
“Ugh, seriously, I can’t even hit you… thanks to you, all my drunkenness has disappeared.”
Eun Sowol looked sulkily at the man in front of her.
When he clutched his groin and trembled, she felt a little sorry.
But since he kept teasing like a brat, that little sympathy quickly vanished.
“But seriously, were you really abandoned?”
Eun Sowol bared her teeth and growled.
Like a young wildcat, the man flinched and leaned back slightly.
“…Phew, can’t live if I get scared. You gonna bite my finger or what?”
“I’m super tough. Can even chew through bones.”
Eun Sowol clicked her white teeth sharply to show off.
It was a warning that if he acted up again, she’d really bite him.
But—
“Ha ha ha ha! What bones could you chew with those puny teeth!”
Apparently, her threat wasn’t taken seriously.
The man laughed so hard tears welled in his eyes.
‘Sigh, just ignore him.’
Eun Sowol sighed deeply and resumed eating with chopsticks.
She was eating on the first floor of Chwiseonru.
Yu Yeoyeon had stepped out for a moment on some business and told her to eat here if she got hungry…
“Why aren’t you leaving, mister?”
Why was this man, who looked like either a hooligan or an unemployed nobleman, still here?
“Why? You want me to leave?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re cold. You’re the first woman to treat me this way.”
“Women must all have bad taste. What do you see in me?”
Eun Sowol frowned, genuinely baffled, and the man laughed again.
“What’s wrong with me? Even if I say so myself, I’ve never been called ugly.”
Eun Sowol silently slurped her noodles and studied him.
Now that the drunkenness was gone, he looked better than first impression.
Well-dressed, long loose hair, fair face with well-placed delicate features.
A face women would cheer for.
“Hmph. My uncle’s a thousand times better looking.”
Eun Sowol snorted.
For the first time, the man’s face cracked and his lips trembled.
“Is that so? Your uncle who abandoned you, right?”
“He didn’t abandon me!”
“Then where is your uncle now?”
“Well…”
Eun Sowol hesitated, and the man smirked.
“See? He did abandon you. Who the hell leaves their kid at a pavilion and walks away?”
“First-timers at the pavilion are all like that. They say their parents will come back to get them after a while. Do you know all those kids end up working here?”
“My uncle isn’t one of them! You, on the other hand, just drink in broad daylight and come to the pavilion with nothing to do!”
“Yeah, I’m a good-for-nothing drunk, and you’re a little brat your uncle dumped.”
“Ugh…!”
They say people cry when they’re too angry.
Eun Sowol was exactly like that now — big teary eyes filled with drops.
The teasing man stopped for a moment.
“…Want to come with me?”
The playful look vanished from his eyes and he stared seriously at her.
“I just feel sorry for you. I know a kid your age.”
A deep sadness settled in his eyes.
Eun Sowol, feeling like she saw something she shouldn’t have, hesitated.
“Ugh!”
“Hey! Let me go!”
At that moment, the man suddenly grabbed Eun Sowol and lifted her up.
“Tsk, tsk. Your uncle’s not a great guy either. Just come with me, and at least you won’t go hungry.”
“Ugh! I said no!”
Of course.
There was no story behind this guy who only joked around from start to finish.
Eun Sowol struggled to get free.
When she tried to bite his hand with her strong teeth,—
“No.”
A cold warning cut through the air.
“You can bite anywhere else, but don’t bite my hand.”
Eun Sowol opened her mouth wide in surprise and stepped back slowly.
Now she noticed he wore black leather gloves.
‘Those gloves look pretty thick.’
Did he have ugly scars? Or poison?
She had heard poison users wore gloves.
But usually they only put gloves on when using poison, not all the time.
She briefly wondered if this man might belong to the Sacheon Dang Clan…
‘But I don’t remember any hooligans in the original story’s Sacheon Dang Clan.’
Eun Sowol opened her mouth again and bared her white teeth.
“Ah! I really bit him!”
“No! No! (I didn’t bite the hand!)”
“Still, who bites for real! Let go already!”
Eun Sowol didn’t bite his hand as he wanted, but she bit his arm instead.
The man tried to shake her off by grabbing her neck.
While the two struggled, the man’s neck suddenly felt a chill.
As he lifted Eun Sowol, the table and chairs shattered in an instant.
Startled, Eun Sowol’s eyes widened.
The man, holding her, lowered his voice.
“A daytime ambush? You’re brave.”
“Ambush? You’re the kidnapper, not me.”
Eun Sowol looked up sharply at the familiar voice.
“Uncle!”
Dok Go-ryong stood menacingly, sword drawn.
“What? Uncle?”
The man looked flustered at Dok Go-ryong, who gripped his sword tighter.
“If you don’t put the kid down within three counts, I’ll kill you. One, two…”
Before he finished, Eun Sowol broke free and ran to Dok Go-ryong.
“Uncle! No! He’s not a kidnapper! He was just playing with me!”
Worried he might turn this place into chaos, Eun Sowol clung to Dok Go-ryong’s leg.
She noticed a red glow from his sword.
‘Sword energy?’
She wasn’t sure how strong Dok Go-ryong’s martial arts were, but he had never shown sword energy before.
If she hadn’t quickly stopped him, who knew what would have happened…
The sword energy vanished before fully forming.
Eun Sowol felt a familiar hand stroking her head.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“…No!”
His voice was gentle enough to reassure her.
But then she heard rustling nearby.
Her eyes met with something.
“Huh?”
It was a child about her height.
As the child came out from behind Dok Go-ryong’s cloak, looking confused—
“Brother!”
The child passed Eun Sowol.
Turning her head, Eun Sowol saw the man frozen stiff.
“Jinmyeong!”
The man awkwardly embraced the child.
“Brother, I missed you…”
Jinmyeong, appearing about her age, clung to the man desperately.
Eun Sowol was puzzled.
“Uncle, who’s that kid?”
“…Don’t know. Found him.”
“Where?”
“By the wall.”
Eun Sowol frowned at the incomprehensible answer.
Even if she asked for details, her uncle wouldn’t explain.
Confused, she looked away again.
The man’s face was marked with confusion and puzzlement.
He suddenly snapped out of it and grabbed Jinmyeong’s shoulder tightly.
“Why are you here? How did you even get here?”
“I-I followed that mister…”
The man’s sharp gaze shifted to Dok Go-ryong.
“You said I was a kidnapper and all that. What are you doing with someone else’s precious kid?”
“Bullshit. How was I supposed to stop him from following me?”
“What? Bullshit? Who do you think you are!”
An innocent argument erupted between them, but sadly the spark fell on dry kindling.
“You’re more normal than that brat. A little kid coming to find a brother who’s always drunk and never comes home—isn’t that abnormal?”
“Hah! You, on the other hand, tried to abandon the kid but chickened out and came back. At least I don’t do trash like abandoning kids, you worthless punk.”
“Wow.”
The man’s sharp tongue even hit Dok Go-ryong’s face.
With a crooked smirk, Dok Go-ryong put his hand back on his sword.
“Wanna see if I’m a punk or not?”
“Just what I wanted. Don’t come crawling begging for your life.”
The man slid his hand inside his long sleeve.
In the tense moment, Eun Sowol grabbed Dok Go-ryong’s sleeve.
“Uncle, stop…!”
“Brother!”
Voices came from the opposite side, trying to stop the man as well.
