Love requires sacrifice
Hagi spurred his horse tightly, grimacing several times withstanding the pain in his injured stomach because it re-opened even a little but if the wound repeatedly kept open is not a good thing for his health. Hagi tried not to think about it for now, he focused on crashing into the night wind that pierced his bones even though tonight the sky was not too dark, Hagi was quite grateful with the moon illuminating the motion of his horse.
The goal now is the Park family residence, only Jung Soolah knows the antidote for Min Ah, although Hagi is not so sure considering that the Park family rarely deals with Yuan traders.
Only Jung soolah hopes the only hope, although Hagi is a little confused how to ask the antidote from Jung soo what else at first Jung soo did intend to kill Min ah. Hagi understood what the reason Jung Soo did all this without having to ask or find out why. All for Hyunmie saengnya's sake.
But still killing people what else the son of the would-be royal in-laws is not a light crime, Jung soo can't be as rash as before. In addition to endangering himself and his family, there will be conflict between the southern and western factions. Obviously it's not good for everyone.
Hagi had just gotten off the horse when he saw Jong Seo was intending to leave with Hyunmie, in Hagi's heart groaned in frustration what else was this? Should it be under these circumstances that Hagi is holding this couple who looks in love with each other? Of course it must be with a limp step Hagi immediately knelt before the two.
"Hagi_ssi what are you doing?" Jong Seo was surprised to see Hagi who had just come down from the horse kneeling before him and Hyunmie.
"I beg you not to go? Don't defy His Majesty by going with Hyunmie." Hearing Hagi's words, Jong seo immediately clasped Hyunmie's hand and ready to pass Hagi who still seemed to be begging. But Hagi quickly held back Hyunmie's legs making Hyunmie's steps stop.
"You know what Oraboni did? He intended to kill Shin Min ah earlier. If the royal side finds out about this, what do you think His Majesty will do to Oraboni? Now that you're leaving with Min ah's future husband, don't you think about your parents?" Hagi's remarks made Hyunmie freeze in a place where she did not expect her Oraboni to do all this for her. Seeing the doubt on Hyunmie's face, Jong seo pulled Hyunmie to look at him.
"If you stop here instead your orabon sacrifices will be in vain I'm sure Hyung won't do this without a second thought." Jong seo's words made Hagi groan in frustration, it seemed like this namja had really fallen in love with Hyunmie.
"I beg Hyunmie to think again? Not only will your parents be executed but my father and mother as well, they're loyal servants of the Park family, can't you do it for me at least?" Hagi was still trying to convince Hyunmie who now looked confused. What should he do now.
"Hyunmie I love you so much, I promise I will make up for the loss you will experience by making you happy." Jong seo's words suddenly made Hagi growled, but this was so selfish. Hagi quickly stood up and threw a punch at Jong Seo's handsome face. Making Hyunmie scream in surprise then helping Jong Seo to stand up.
"You're the most selfish person I've ever known, you know how many lives you're gonna lose because of your selfishness? Don't you think about your family too? They can also be executed just because of your selfishness." Jong Seo is silent he is not unaware of it, only he is not ready to see the woman he loves married with his own saeng.
"When I try to help both your parents and your family and your honor, you don't even care if they die, what kind of family are you?" Hagi's words suddenly confused Jong Seo.
"What do you mean?"
"I tried to help your father not be punished for daring to interfere with the preparation of the Yuan envoy's welcome yesterday by asking the King to marry you to Min ah so that your family is bound to the kingdom. I also tried to help the oraboni not be punished for attacking the sister of the crown princess, but you don't even care if she dies, I even gave up my feelings for Kyuhyun so you could marry him so you wouldn't bear the shame of being abandoned by your fiance." Hyunmie and Jong seo looked surprised by Hagi's words even Jong seo was ready to throw his punch if it was not held back by Hyunmie.
"Are you not supposed to be happy? Even if your parents are put to death they are just your foster parents. I know you love Kyuhyun, If I go with Jong Seo you can marry Kyuhyun." Hyunmie's words made Hagi smile what was it to them that the old man was worthless even to the adoptive parents?
"It's not as easy as you think Hyunmie_ssi..." Hagi was sitting dizzy he already did not know how to restrain these two people before him.
Again Hagi******* chest pain made Hagi back on the ground quickly Hyunmie approached Hagi.
"Hagi_ssi why are you?" Hagi did not have time to answer, Hyunmie was already shrieking in surprise when she saw Hagi began to be transparent and not only Hyunmie who was surprised Jong Seo who had just seen it was surprised to see the transparent Hagi.
"Ha...Hagi. a... What's wrong with you?" Hagi tried to gather his consciousness and return to remember what his purpose was to come to this house.
"The antidote I need is an antidote that oraboni used to hurt Min ah.." Hagi's remark suddenly made Hyunmie and Jong Seo confused but as if realizing something Hyunmie was surprised instead of playing.
"What... were you also exposed to the same poison? But why is your body like this? I know the poison is deadly but it won't be like your body like this." Hagi slightly breathed a sigh of relief at least Hagi's estimation was correct, with the rest of his energy Hagi pleading with Hyunmie.
"I beg you to give it to me. Need it. Min ah can't die." Hyunmie threw away a dislike face, she even wished Min ah was really dead. Seeing Hyunmie's reaction, Hagi again clasped Hyunmie's hand full of pleas.
"I beg you, if he dies I'll disappear." Hagi's remark again caught Hyunmie's attention who was looking at her confusedly. This time Jong Seo asked when again Hyunmie froze when she saw Hagi back on the surface.
"Whatchu mean? And why are you like this?" Hagi looked at his hand in fear his body started to tremble.
"I can't explain it now, I really need the antidote now. It's just that if you guys keep going and Min ah dies I'll really be lost from this world." This time Hagi sobbed in front of the two making Hyunmie and Jong seo return in the lema.
From afar Kyuhyun came with his horse, but he ran straight after coming down from his horse towards Hagi when Kyuhyun saw Hagi back transparent.
"Hagi_ya.." saw Kyuhyun come Hagi this time begging Kyuhyun.
"I beg Kyuhyun_ssi not to let hyungmu go with Hyunmie. Hyungmu must remain married to Min ah, I do not want to disappear, anni I still want to meet my family." As if forgetting everything, Hagi's fear began to make him lose control almost telling everyone everything. Hagi bit his lips as the three people before him looked at him curiously. Trying to ignore the three gazes, Hagi again pleaded with Hyunmie.
"I beg the antidote Hyunmie, I promise you oraboni will not get any punishment. I'll protect her." Hyunmie bit her lips in confusion. He doesn't know what to do now.
But it did not last long as the three were silent even holding their breath when Hagi completely disappeared from their sight within 2 seconds then looked back and still while pleading with Hyunmie.
"PARK HYUNMIE BRING THE ANTIDOTE NOW." this time Kyuhyun shouted in panic and in reply to a quick nod from Hyunmie who immediately ran towards the house without being asked twice, Jong Seo pushed Kyuhyun upset when he found out his girlfriend was in teriaki.
Hagi breathed a little relief and then went back to grimacing in pain when his wound was slightly exposed to the night wind.
"You must explain everything Hagi, without exception." Jong seo's words made Hagi look anxious, should it? But will they all believe Hagi's words?
"It's better to be Hyung." Seeing Hagi's unease, Kyuhyun spoke up. He could not see Hagi getting any more depressed. Hearing Kyuhyun's words, Jong seo could only sigh softly.
From the direction of the house Hyunmie brought the antidote in haste and handed it to Hagi.
"Hyunmie promised not to go with Jong Seo." Hagi clasped Hyunmie's question making Jong seo snort in annoyance, while Hyunmie just let out a slow breath.
"I'll wait for your explanation first, if it makes sense I'll think again." Hyunmie's words successfully made Jong seo ready to protest.
"Go Hagi, let this couple I take care of him." Hagi nodded in gratitude when Kyuhyun asked him to leave.
Without waiting again Hagi walked limply towards his horse and then again hit the night wind which continued to make his wound even more painful. Now Hagi just had to find an excuse to take control of the situation that was happening in the residence of the crown princess candidate, tonight it feels like Hagi's head feels like it wants to break too many things that make him have to rack his brain and again the stakes are his presence in this world.
With the remaining energy, Hagi entered the residence of the crown princess who was still guarded by a lot of royal police, because he knew who Hagi none of them prevented Hagi from entering. After making sure the antidote was drunk by Min ah then Hagi relaxed his defense and at that time Hagi fell unconscious in front of Nam Young.
*****
Last night was probably the longest night that Hagi experienced, it felt really tiring to make him lazy to wake up this morning. The night after waking up from Hagi's stupor between Nam young and his residence, Nam Young initially intends to escort Hagi to the pavilion at Young Ae's mistress's brothel. But on the way they meet with Uncle and Aunt Ma who finally ask Hagi to just rest in his residence. Without bidding much Hagi and Nam Young just obey the wishes of Hagi's adoptive parents.
And this is where he was in his room that he had not occupied for a long time, Hagi heard the sound of the door of his room being opened he still wanted to sleep after riding almost all night and fighting many people in a state of pain. But aunt Ma's voice finally made Hagi wake up.
"Wake up Hagi. You have to have breakfast and take your medicine. Your wounds are worse for being back open." Slightly lazy Hagi woke up from his sleep staring at Aunt Ma grudgingly.
"Mianahe eomma, I'm making you bother again." Aunt Ma shook her head slowly then stroked Hagi dear's head.
"No, we're the ones to thank. You're not our real daughter but again you saved our lives." Hagi looked at aunt Ma not understanding who was in reply with aunt Ma hugging her.
"We heard your conversation last night with Miss Hyunmie and also the young masters of the Kim family." Hagi took a breath and hugged Aunt Ma even tighter.
"Sorry it must be hard for you to let go of the one you love." Aunt Ma stroked the head of the dear Hagi who started to sob little, she missed her eomma at home.
"It's okay, I have to do it." Aunt Ma took off her embrace and wiped away Hagi's tears.
"Oh yes Last night eomma saw you look transparent, does this have anything to do with where you came from?" Hagi was speechless looking at Aunt Ma deeply, seeing that Hagi was silent Aunt Ma interpreted it as yes.
"It's okay..We also know that you're not from here, you still remind us we saw you dressed so strangely in the woods first?" Hagi gave a small smile, of course he remembered with his climbing clothes, he was so grateful that Uncle and Aunt Ma did not ask much about his clothes, even both of them help Hagi find his origin without being asked when making documents or when saying it to Park's sun.
"Why did Eomma want to help me until now?" Hagi was quite curious because aunt Ma did not mind always helping him.
"Because we're sure there's a reason why you were sent to us, for example maybe if there wasn't you some people would've died. Do you remember that you helped a lot of people including King Sejong?" Hagi smiled slightly, how could he not remember his first meeting with King Sejong.
"Eomma's right, but does eomma not wonder where I came from?" Aunt Ma shook her head then tried while feeding Hagi breakfast.
"You must have a reason why you didn't tell us, so we didn't think we needed to know." Hagi nodded back and accepted a bribe from Ma's aunt.
"Sometimes I'll tell him." Hagi looked at the smiling aunt Ma while nodding small.
Uncle Ma who had been listening from outside the door finally entered Hagi's room while carrying a letter from Hyunmie.
"The young lady gave this to aboeji." Hagi opened the letter from Hyunmie then read it slowly Hagi slightly frowned but then smiled in relief after finishing reading the letter from Hyunmie.
"Aboeji said something to Miss Hyunmie?" Uncle Ma looked at his wife who nodded slowly giving permission.
"Aboji just said that you're not from this world and it looks like you're on a mission where one of them is to help King Sejong. Miss Hyunmie didn't believe it at first but after aboeji showed me your clothes Miss Hyunmie trusted her." Hagi looked at his aboeji confused how could the two people before him conclude this?
"We haven't really taken our eyes off you all this time, Hagi, no matter how we brought you here, so we've always been watching your movements. Even if you're used to it here, we can see you're different from us. Like what you've done, it's been planned for a long time." Hagi could only stare at Uncle Ma in disbelief, how could they analyze to that extent?
"While we knew you had other purposes coming here, we knew you were a really good boy. So we never ask or tell anyone about you." Aunt Ma returned to feed Hagi while stroking Hagi's face which was now smooth again.
Hagi was at a loss for words, it was fitting that Minister Park had faith in Ma's aunt and uncle, both of whom were very intelligent for the size of a servant.
"Thank you..."
Hagi could only say that to the two, he did not know if Uncle and Aunt Ma had revealed the truth to others in the first place.
"From now on don't ever hesitate to ask for help from us, son, let's say we are really your parents, don't all you bear alone at least we want to repay your services because we have sacrificed so much for us." Hagi looked at Uncle Ma with tears, he was so grateful God sent him to his uncle and Aunt Ma during this Joseon era.
"Thank you again." Hagi this time hugged Uncle Ma who looked awkward while looking at his wife who only smiled while nodding slowly Uncle Ma returned Hagi's embrace.
"Thank you also for your presence we can feel having a great daughter like you." Hagi only tightened his embrace on Uncle Ma in reply to Uncle Ma's words.
At the residence of Park's minister, Jung Soo could only look at Hyunmie who was still daydreaming, she felt guilty for not being able to do anything for her. The plan failed after Hyunmie herself gave the antidote to Hagi. At first Jung is so angry that his efforts have become futile, but Hyunmie only says that she does not want to lose her brother. And not saying anything else after that made him even more frustrated.
"Saeng say something? Are you really gonna give up?" Jung Soo again invited Hyunmie to talk when she just sat there daydreaming while staring at a package that Jung Soo did not know what it contained.
"I don't give up on my love for oraboni, but I try to sacrifice for the people I love." Hyunmie's words left Jung soo confused but Hyunmie's slightly better gaze than before made Jung so even more confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Hagi sacrificed a lot for the Kim family and the Park family because for Hagi both families meant a lot to her, but I as a child of the Park family did not care at all, it's true Hagi said if I was really selfish. I didn't even think of you as an oraboni and instead whined for you to help me yesterday." Jung soo shook her head while hugging Hyunmie's body back in tears while apologizing to Jung soo.
"Anni, you're not wrong, it was the oraboni who was too rash yesterday. You're a good boy who just loves his fiance too much." Hyunmie tightened her embrace of Jung soo as she cried even stronger.
Hyunmie thought back to Hagi last night, and what Hagi said was true. He doesn't even think that far but Hagi who is just the foster son of the Park family servant can think about the survival of his family if he still maintains his love.
