The Destiny of the Undone
chapter 5

The return trip feels shorter. Maybe because they joke all the way. Junghwan and Chanwoo were completely similar in nature.

"Nuna came all the way from Gwangju for what?" Ask Junghwan.

"Just want to go around this country" Jisoo replied casually with a smile.

"Cliches." Junghwan said while shrugging his shoulders.

"I knew. But it's so fun." Answer Jisoo.

"Yes yes I know that. Ah Hyung, can I borrow your horse today? There's something I have to do in the market."

"What's? Playing with Jihoon and Jeongwoo? You can't go out today."

"Yahhhhhhhhhh. Why??!"

"Don't tell me you forgot something". Chanwoo said that made Junghwan confused for a moment.

Chanwoo and Junghwan had a small quarrel and it made Jisoo amused herself to see it. He smiled at the two brothers.

Meanwhile the sun will set. Jisoo and Jiwon were ready with their horses and prepared to leave the place. A little heavy for Jisoo. Not because he wanted to settle down, but everything was too good in Jisoo's eyes. Never in his entire life has he been as free as the days he spent in the Song family-owned parlour lately. Very free and warm. Everyone cares about him. Previously Kim Jisoo only lived with shackled royal regulations. He is like a pet who just complies. He has no voice. The reason is because she is female. It's ridiculous!

"Bring this. There's some wine and bread you can take with you as supplies." Tae Hee brought them a package.

"Why bother?" Jisoo.

"Take it as my gratitude because you guys stopped by."

"We should be the ones to thank. Thank you." Thank you." Said Jisoo while hugging Tae Hee.

"Be careful." Tae Hee let go of their embrace.

"YES! MIZUNO, HYUNG. THERE ARE HORSEMEN AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE VILLAGE!. Chanwoo came suddenly while shouting.

"WHAT?!" Jisoo and Jiwon together.

"How is this?" Chanwoo was panicking.

"Riding troops? Why why anyway? Maybe they'll come visit." Sahut Tae Hee doesn't understand why Chanwoo yells.

"Haish Eomma doesn't understand." Chanwoo.

"How does Eomma know that you didn't tell?" Chanwoo's mother, Tae Hee, is confused.

"Ask him directly. Don't ask me." Chanwoo said pointing at Jisoo.

"What's the matter, son?"

"long story. There's no time to explain." Jisoo made it clear with a slightly panicked look on her face.

"We can't leave today. Too dangerous! Kiya can get caught and they'll drag us back. Know this I'll stay in the kingdom." Jiwon. Slowly he regretted why he wanted to come with Jisoo if it would finally run like this.

"Kingdom? Who are you guys?!" Tae Hee is real, a little jerking.

Jisoo hesitated to explain. He did not want his disguise to be revealed.

"Later explain it. You guys come with me. You two can't be seen." Chanwoo pulled Jisoo and Jiwon's hands to take her to a safer place to hide.

Not far. Only inside a storage barn for crops. Safe enough to hide. But not enough to guarantee them not to be caught. I hope it doesn't.

"You guys stay here. I'll handle everything. You guys just calm down." Chanwoo said before leaving the barn.

"Uncle must have been. I know that." Jisoo calms Jiwon. He himself panicked.

"Yes! What are you guys doing here?" Someone said. Yunhyeong. His voice was quite loud and could be heard up out of the barn. Without thinking much, Jiwon immediately grabbed Yunhyeong's hand and smothered the man's mouth with her hand.

"If you try to open your mouth, you'll kill us all." Said Jiwon quietly in Yunhyeong's ear.

Yunhyeong tried to rebel, but unfortunately Jisoo helped hold her hand so as not to rebel.

This female energy is strong. Damnit. Yunhyeong.

At the gate all the inhabitants of the center are busy stopping the horsemen. A leader of the army got off his horse and approached them.

"Greetings." Sweepings.

"Who are you and what do you need here?" Ask Kyu Hyung.

"We came from Gwangju to find two prisoners who escaped from our palace." Clearly the leader of the force.

"What does that guy look like, sir?"

"A man and a woman about 27 years old. They also ride horses of black and brown color. Maybe that's all. Did you see them around here?"

"They did stay here last night." Said Kyu Hyung. Chanwoo's facial wrinkle was instantly limp after his Appa told him the truth.

"Where are they now, sir? We have to bring them back so as not to unsettle."

"They left this afternoon. Westward. If you want to chase, you better hurry. Before they disappeared." Kyu Hyung lied. Mercifully. Chanwoo breathed a sigh of relief.

The squad leader looked doubtful by Kyu Hyung's reply. He approached Kyu Hyung and looked at her sharply.

"Can we go around for a minute? We just want to make sure you and your family are safe.

"I'm sorry Mr. Army Chief, but you're not allowed to go any further." Tae Hee tried to get in the way.

"What's the matter with your house?" The Army chief began to suspect.

"Horsecurities." Chanwoo replied suddenly.

"Horse shit?"

"I-iya horse shit. We haven't cleaned it yet. So you better not go in the back."

"You sure?"

"certain. We're making compost for sale. But if you force me, it's okay I'll drive you with pleasure. I'll also teach you how to compost from horse dung." Chanwoo really thought hard about it.

The face of the leader turned disgusted and he immediately said goodbye to return to pursue his target, even though the two of them were still there. The ‘kotoran kuda’ show was able to save Jisoo and Jiwon. The Man of the Match!

Yunhyeong was still a hostage until Chanwoo came. Conditions were already safe so it was time for them to come out.

"The leader is a bit of a bitch!" Chanwoo said annoyedly. "It's a good thing I managed to block him in."

"He is the Leader of the One." Jiwon Sahut. "Trust me that person is far more annoying than you know."

"Now you have to explain everything. Don't keep hiding behind false identities." Chanwoo told them to explain to all the residents of the orphanage so that there was no misunderstanding after there were troops.

"wait. Fake identity?" Yunhyeong.

"alright. Jiwon and I will explain everything. Let's go see the others." Bring Jisoo.
