The Destiny of the Undone
chapter 10

"What do you want after this?" Yunhyeong asked Jisoo.

"Eitherway. Maybe I'll practice archery."

"me too. We'll just practice together."

"Can Junkyu go with Eomma and Appa?" Asked the boy who was being dressed by Yunhyeong.

"Of course you can, baby. Later Appa will teach you how to shoot right." Yunhyeong replied as she blotted out Junkyu's tiny nose with her index finger. "Kajja!"

________

The people who are playing it are now focusing on the closeness of Jisoo, Yunhyeong and Junkyu. Maybe if you don't know, people will assume they are a happy family. Believe it or not, Junkyu's face was like the merging of Yunhyeong and Jisoo's faces.

"Look at them. Very harmonious. Moreover, Junkyu called Yunyeong Hyung and Jisoo Nuna as Appa and Eomma." Donghyuk.

“Jisoo has never been close to a child and that's why I was shocked when the boy called her Eomma. He alone still couldn't take care of himself how could he take care of that little creature." Jiwon protest astonishment.

"really?! But he looks like he's very experienced at taking care of a child. I think he's got a niece or something."

"What? He had no nephew living in the palace. There's only me as his cousin."

"Can you stop talking about other people? Don't you see I'm busy moving these fucking fruits?" Junhoe.

"Haish! Yep! If you need help, talk. Habits." Donghyuk.

"At least you should be self-conscious."

"Yes! Stop quarreling. What age are you guys? Twelve?" Jiwon. "Let me help you, Junhoe-ssi." Jiwon immediately lifted a basket full of apples.

"Stand up straight. Then pull the arrow slowly and focus on the target. And.... Off!" Said Yunhyeong who was training Junkyu archery. The arrow that was glued was off the mark and made Junkyu look regretful.

"I don't want to play anymore. I can't shoot."

"Not what Junkyu-ya. Slowly you can. You just need to practice more."

"But I look bad."

"Nobody looks bad if you've tried so hard. We continue tomorrow. Now let's have lunch." Jisoo soothing.

"Come on! Everyone must have been waiting for us." Yunhyeong.

The unusual atmosphere was regained since the arrival of Jisoo and Jiwon. A young boy was sitting next to Yunhyeong. He just looked down because he was nervous.

While in the kitchen, Tae Hee and Jisoo are preparing food.

"How's the kid? Is he at home?" Tae Hee asked as she poured water into the teapot.

"It still needs to adjust a little bit." Reply Jisoo tang arrange the fruit into a basket.

"I haven't had time to say hello to him. I'm sure he's a good boy."

"Very good. He'll be a useful kid later."

"certain. Now her parents are you and Yunhyeong. I'm pretty sure his kindness will be just like his parents today."

_________

"Hows it? Do you like it?" Tae Hee asks Junkyu who is being fed by Jisoo. There was no verbal answer. Just a small nod as he continued to chew the food inside his mouth. "Halmoni is glad you like her."

"Junkyu-ya, after this let's go with uncle to the chicken coop. We feed them. Wanna?" Ask Donghyuk. Junkyu nodded happily.

He had already begun to be able to adapt and was no longer afraid of the people in the parlour. Yunhyeong and Jisoo were relieved to see her.

Junkyu is with Donghyuk. Some people go to their own rooms just to relax. Jisoo and Yunhyeong in the reading room. Junhoe and Jiwon were drawing water. The quiet Junhoe teams up with the talkative Jiwon. They are not close, it's just that this is their job.

"Is that enough?" Tanya Jiwon gasped.

Inevitably Jiwon had to obey him because she had to get the attention of Junhoe. Not because of anything. Jiwon just wants to be friends with Junhoe who is so mysterious.

"Well. It's." Already." Jiwon said when she managed to fill up the bathtub. "Now what is to be done?"

"Go back to each other's rooms and stop talking." Junhoe said to Jiwon.

Junhoe put down his bucket and passed towards his room, while Jiwon was still glued there. Jiwon did not expect Junhoe to say that.

"Yes! What's wrong with talking a lot? I just want to be friends with him." Monologue Jiwon.

Elsewhere, a young boy was busy feeding chickens in the coop and helping to pick up some eggs with one of his uncles. He seemed to enjoy and be happy. Not like the first time he came here.

"OKAY. The basket is full of eggs. What do you want after this? Wanna play?"

"Yes already. Go to the reading room. Your Appa and Eomma are there."

The little boy ran to the room located next to the dining room. The place where Jisoo and Jiwon first met Kyuhyung. Justright. He found that both of his adoptive parents were focusing on their books. Jisoo, aware of Junkyu's presence, stops his activities and tells Junkyu to sit next to him.

"That's what?" Ask plain junkyu.

"This? Fiction book."

"Why did Eomma see it? Is there anything good there?"

"Eomma doesn't just look at it, son. But Eomma read."

"How do I read? Junkyu never reads." Said plain. An anxious Jisoo, pinched Junkyu's nose slowly.

"Junkyu wants to know how to read?" Junkyu. Still with his innocent look.

"Well, Eomma will teach you." Jisoo took out a thin bark and also a brush and ink. He wrote something there so that Junkyu could imitate him.

"Now try to scratch this ink and follow the form that Eomma made earlier." Further.

Junkyu picked up the brush and scratched it there slowly while occasionally paying attention to the example. Yunhyeong smiled looking at Junkyu's cute behavior that was concentrating. He turned to look at Jisoo who looked very proud of Junkyu. The two people really look harmonious as a mother and child.

송준규

That's the script Jisoo wrote. He wanted Junkyu to be able to write and read his name first. He will teach Junkyu to read when he is six years old.

"Here, Eomma."

"Now look at the lettering. Siot plus o and ending with ieung. Then the reading is Song."

"Song." Junkyu.

"Smart. Then next to it there is Jiuet plus u and ending with nieun. The reading is Jun.

"June."

"If only! Now the last one. There is a gieok and added with yu. The reading is Kyu."

"Ky."

"Now try to read from the beginning."

"S-song Jun Kyu's. That's my name."

"If only the son of eomma." Jisoo praised Junkyu proudly.

Shortly after, Junkyu yawned. He felt sleepy and tired, he wanted to sleep.

"Eomma Junkyu is sleepy." Junkyu said slowly.

"Eoh? Yes, it's now that Eomma takes her to the room."

"But Junkyu will sleep with Eomma."

"Yes later Eomma accompanies Junkyu to sleep. Come on!" Jisoo takes Junkyu to the room.
