general du was playing chess with his niece when a visitor was announced. pak jin jae, dressed again as a beggar, removed his hat and bowed in greeting. "what do you want?" du asked curtly.
"we have not had contact with cho chun for a few days." he said by way of explanation. chang bi liked hearing him speak. he had a soothing, pleasant voice. "we wanted to know if you had had any contact with her since our last encounter."
Du grunted. "thankfully, no. if that is all -" he turned and left the room.
Jin jae bowed to chang bi and was about to take his leave when she said, "would you like some tea before you go?"
he smiled. "thank you", he said simply
she brought him tea and he sat down at the table where she and her uncle had been playing chess. chang bi wanted to make conversation with him, but didn;t know anything she could say. she sat across from him. he was quite handsome. they sat in silence as he finished his tea. he stood up to leave and took his hat in hand. observing the pieces on the chess board, he swapped two of the pieces. Chang bi saw that what he had done had made it impossible for her uncle to win. He smiled conspiratorially at her and said, "thank you for the tea." with a bow he was gone.
"your welcome" she said softly.
general du came back and she pretended to drink out of the cup. sitting at the table he clapped his hands together and said, "now, where were we?"
"it was your move uncle" she said
"ah good". he scrutinized the board, puzzled. "chang bi yah" he said astonished. i hadn't even noticed that you'd already won!"
chang bi giggled at her uncle's bewildered expression

Choi bu went through his duties mechanically. He was trying not to be so obvious about avoiding brue, but it was becoming increasingly difficult. he hadn't realized how much time they actually spent together. he couldn't wait for the day to be over so that he could be alone. when his official duties were finally over, he breathed a sigh of relief and began walking to his home.
"choi jang goon" brue's voice called out. choi cringed inwardly.
"brue" he said, "do you need something?"
"no, i just wanted to ask if anything was bothering you." brue stated.
"no, nothing. just tired. excuse me" he said rushing off. brue was perplexed to see choi behaving so oddly.

when choi entered his house, he began pacing the room restlessly like a caged animal. he forced himself to stop pacing. sitting down, he closed his eyes, breathed deeply and tried to clear his mind. after a few vain attempts, he gave a sigh of frustration and gave up. he knew what it was he wanted. he wanted to go see her. it was starting to become a need. this was completely ridiculous. it had been all of 24 hours since they -. No don't think about that, he told himself. forget it ever happened. but he couldn't forget. he found himself thinking about her like a pathetic lovesick schoolboy. maybe some air would help. he looked out his door to confirm brue was nowhere in sight and then walked out.

he walked aimlessly for some time, lost in though when he heard hae yon's voice call him.
"jang goon?" he turned to see her looking at him and was dismayed at how happy it made him to see her. he walked towards her. as he got nearer to her, he saw how dejected she look. he felt a small rush of guilt at seeing her so sad. he bowed to her in greeting.
"is that all that i am to expect from now on?" she asked forlornly.
"hae yon," he said apologetically, "i'm sorry, i can't-"
"i love you" she blurted, shocked to hear her own words.
choi was stunned. it was the last thing he had expected her to say. "I-"
her eyes filled with genuine tears. "why do you avoid me? was i so terrible? did i disappoint you?"
this was awful. choi would have given anything to be anywhere other than where he was that moment. "hae yon, it's not that-"
"then what is it?" she asked in a heartbroken voice. "how can you treat me as if you could care less if i existed or not?"
choi sighed. "i have a duty to serve my emperor. i have no place in my life for you. i can't."
she sank to the ground, sobbing, making choi feel even worse. "so that is all then?"
he nodded silently and she hated him and loved him at the same time. placing both hands on her shoulders, he helped her to her feet. "please forget me" he asked her.
she turned her tear-stricken face to his. she looked so fragile. "if i must, please tell me one thing" she begged. he nodded, waiting. "did taking my chastity mean anything at all to you?"
he put a hand to her face and wiped her cheek. "you must know that it did." she buried her face in his chest and began to cry softly.
brue, who had been walking to hae yon's quarters to see how she was feeling, stood paralyzed. he had only heard the last few sentences of this very intimate conversation but he had heard enough. he stared at hae yon, enveloped in choi's arms. "hae yon..." he said sadly.
the two flew apart. choi hoped he was imagining things, but he saw brue looking at the both of them, his fists clenched. "brue, I-"
"so this is why you've been acting so strangely!" he said in an anguished voice.
"brue-"
brue backed away from them. "no, don't say anything" he said, walking away
choi looked at brue, then at hae yon and without any words or bows walked quickly back to his home
