It's not about you but it's about me not being able to see your wounded face and it's because of me

The ministers gathered in the royal hall with many discussions about the execution that would be experienced by the minister Jang, some seemed pleased, especially the faction that had begun to oppose the crown prince to the throne, they had all started to get ready to dock with Prince Suyang who had been under the control of Minister Jang. But the gathering of ministers today intends to release Kim Jong Seo as General and deputy prime minister who will fight in the north is not about the execution that he can not revoke again.
King Sejong who used to participate in the battle for a while entrusted everything to Jong Seo, in addition to the royal affairs of King Sejong is still grieving after the loss of his favorite concubine. The state of the hall was instantly silent when King Sejong entered the hall, all the ministers immediately greeted King Sejong saluting.
"As you know, today the royal army will be deployed to the north to eradicate the Jurchens who are troubling some villages there. I sent Kim Jong Seo to lead the troops there, some private troops from several ministerial families were also deployed so that we can eradicate the Jurchen until it runs out." No one protested, all accepted the King's obedient edict. Jong Seo himself was complete with his clothes and kneeled before the King to ask for his blessing.
"Hamba received the King's word." after that Jong seo went straight out of the royal hall to the palace courtyard where there were hundreds of troops waiting for him there.
During the journey to the north the troops had rested in the last village where the northern fortress was located, there Hagi also some confidants Jong Seo had been waiting to join the battlefield. Jong Hyun who from the beginning guided Hagi from the palace to the village also joined the army, It was Jong Hyun who would later help Hagi to get out of the battlefield after making sure General Jurchen did not have any strength from the pendulum he was wearing.
"Concubine Suki how do you make sure that the general can no longer use his magical powers?" Hagi slashed his breath and stared intently at Jong Seo who still called him with that title, even though how many times had Hagi told him to just call his name, in addition to being dangerous if heard by others, for Hagi the title is no longer needed because for many people the Tribe Consorts are dead.
"Do you want me to call you Haraboeji? I told you to call my name Jong Seo_ssi." Jong Seo grimaced as Jong Hyun also so Jung held back a smile, Jong Seo had to get back in the habit of calling Hagi by his name instead of his title.
"I'm sorry you know I'm getting used to your title." Hagi slashed out a breath then looked at the pendulum in his hand long ago.
"I still remember what the head monk said before we returned to Hanyang yesterday. That only my blood can reunite the pendulum. In other words I have to go into the battlefield and take control of the General directly, I believe the General used it as a necklace exactly what Jin said so." Jung so stared at the worried Hagi, however Hagi was female and this was the first war for Hagi. Even if Hagi was the King's formidable bodyguard, war was far different from mere escort.
"Is that not too dangerous? It will be very difficult for you to come out of the battlefield after sealing the pendulum's power." This time Hagi smiled slightly, finally Jong Seo did not use any more honorific titles on him.
"I know, but there's no other way. The pendulum only reacts if I hold it directly. That's why I'm asking you to pave the way for me later on the battlefield." Everyone in the tent nodded in agreement.
"As long as Jung So Hyung and I open the way you have to protect Hagi from the back of Jong Hyun." All looked serious when Hagi suddenly fell unconscious just making the three namja panicked instantly. They were even more panicked when Hagi's body started to cool and transparent.
"Our mother doesn't have much time left." Jong Seo growled furiously as he lifted his basket Hagi made of dried grass.
"Whatchu mean? Is there anything I don't know?" This time Jung so asked Jong Seo, Jung so has helped both of them a lot but not all of the things about Hagi are known by Jung so.
"Mianahe Hyung. actually the reason Hagi had to come out of the battlefield after sealing the pendulum's power was not because it was too dangerous for Hagi, either, but he must return to his world otherwise Hagi will disappear forever." Jung so surprised instead of playing, it turns out as serious as that thing will happen to Hagi. But now Jung so understand why all this drama must be done, especially Hagi's death is fake right, because after all Hagi would really leave this world and it would be strange if Hagi who was the concubine disappeared suddenly or the most difficult Hagi would not be able to get out of the palace as well to do the sealing these.
"Then why wasn't Kyuhyun told? I'm sure he'll definitely help if he finds out about Hagi who will disappear if he doesn't return to his world." Jong Seo let out a sigh and smiled with relief when Hagi woke up from her stupor.
"Because I want Kyuhyun to open his heart to Hyunmie. If Kyuhyun knew Hagi was still alive even in a different world to him, Kyuhyun would never look at Hyunmie in his entire life. That's what Hagi thought, too." Jong Seo looked at the magically smiling Hagi, however Kyuhyun should live his life here well, at least Hagi could calmly leave Kyuhyun.
"But you said Kyuhyun would be told later? You know I said that to Kyuhyun at the time." Hagi smiled again and looked at Jong Seo who had been told when the right time to tell Kyuhyun everything.
"Later on. later I'll say Hyung. but not in the near future." Jung So slashed a heavy breath, he did not expect everything could be this complicated, initially Jung so also a little disbelief if Hagi is not from the same world as it seems, he said, Hagi did not explain in detail but Jung Soo understood Hagi's intentions. After seeing some evidence that Hagi gave finally Jung so believe and decided to help Hagi including finding a warm corpse to put in the royal library when the fire occurred. Jung so helps Hagi as well for the reason that only Hagilah can defeat the magical power of the Jurchen army. As one of the royal officials Jung Soo wants to help as much as she can she wants to help Hagi who she already considers her own sister just like Hyunmie.

When the royal army thinned in the palace it was utilized by Prince Suyang who was determined to help the minister Jang escape from prison, several hitmen who had been under the rule of minister Jang helped him escape. Some of the palace guards were injured for helping the fight including Kyuhyun, but the assassin Jang's secretary had was too strong to fight. Kyuhyun is increasingly aware that the possibility of what Jang's minister said the other day is true. If Minister Jang intends to kill, then Jang only has to order his trained hitman to kill Hagi instead of making a scene with a fire that somehow leads to him.
Minister Jang initially intended to hide for a while before drawing up a revenge plan on Jong Seo, but the spy he paid gave him news that made Minister Jang furious.
"Damn it, they used me just so that the concubine could get out of the palace without knowing. Follow them on, I can't wait to kill that stupid concubine with my own hands. After all, everyone thinks I killed him, so I'll make it a reality." Minister Jang clenched his hands tightly and then smirked in satisfaction.

When everyone is taken from me, you're all I have. Even if we are together tormented, at least hold on with me to live.
♡♡♡♡
The palace was in a state of chaos when Kyuhyun was forced to stand guard at the palace in a severely injured condition, the assassin who helped Jang's minister escape was no ordinary assassin, they dared to enter the palace even though the palace was not under strict guard. The state of the palace was also increasingly tense because Prince Suyang also disappeared when the attack occurred.
"Make sure no one knows if Prince Suyang is missing at this time, I don't want any rumors if Prince Suyang helps Minister Jang's escape even if it's true I don't want this news to spread out of the palace, you understand? The chase will be done after there is news from the North." King Sejong's words were responded in unison by all the remaining guards in good health, some soldiers as well as wounded bodyguards were being handled by the healers. King Sejong looked at Kyuhyun who was still standing next to him in a pale state making King Sejong sigh heavily, King Sejong also stared at the wound on Kyuhyun's stomach that was still bleeding a lot. The head of his bodyguard was trying very hard to guard him.
"You'd better go home first I need you to take care of that wound before you go back to work." Kyuhyun was ready to interrupt when King Sejong raised his hand a sign he did not want to object to.
"I don't want anything to happen to you, you're all I have right now. So you can't fall, let Nam Young take you home, there's Changmin here to protect me." Kyuhyun took a slow breath, things were still not under control in the palace.
"Let Nam Young stay, Your Majesty, I can go home by myself the state of the palace is still unstable and lack of soldiers." King Sejong let out a slow breath.
"Do you not understand my orders? I don't want anything to happen to you, your wounds are pretty bad and you can't guarantee me that you can survive until you're home. So just follow my orders, Changim and the other bodyguards are more than enough to take care of me." Kyuhyun took a slow breath and nodded obediently he could no longer refute if his King was already like this.
Nam Young instantly helps Kyuhyun back to his private residence, Kyuhyun initially asks Nam Young to return on the trip but Nam young's subsequent remarks leave Kyuhyun with little more to say.
"Hagi asked me to always protect you as well as take care of you if she wasn't around."
When the two reached the courtyard of Kyuhyun's residence the consciousness was gone from Kyuhyun's body, it seemed that a lot of blood had come out since earlier making Kyuhyun not strong enough to hold back his consciousness, nam Young's quick restraint on Kyuhyun's body made the waiter who had just opened the door scream to wake the whole house that's when Hyunmie exited the house.
"Kyuhyun_ah!!!!" Hyunmie quickly ran towards Kyuhyun in panic. This was the first time Hyunmie had seen Kyuhyun hurt this badly.
"What's this about? Why is he hurt?" Without asking Hyunmie directly helped to get Kyuhyun into the house.
"I'll explain later, now show me the room, also please call the healer." Hyunmie nodded anxiously, tears did not flow on Hyunmie's pale face, fear began to haunt her. Hyunmie himself was in a state of pain at the moment, but when he saw Kyuhyun hurt the pain in his body evaporated just like that.
"Follow me, Auntie Oh call healer Cha here right now!!!" Hyunmie points the way to Nam young while yelling at the housekeeper to call the healer. Hyunmie asks Nam young to put Kyuhyun to bed in his room, without saying much Nam Young follows Hyunmie's wishes.
"What actually happened? Why is Kyuhyun getting hurt so badly?" Nam Young pressed down on Kyuhyun's wound slowly while breathing heavily.
"Mentri Jang escaped, and it just so happened that the palace was deserted that the guard was not too tight until the hired killer who had Minister Jang entered the palace freely. Kyuhyun was injured for trying to block Jang's minister from escaping not to mention that some of the hit men had entered the main hall at that time I was also in the crown princess residence so there was no time to help him." Hyunmie tried to calm down but her self-defense shattered as she stared at the blood that did not stop in Kyuhyun's stomach. While crying Hyunmie began to wipe away the cold sweat that soaked Kyuhyun's face.
"It seems like I should pick up physician Cha, Kyuhyun should be treated immediately. You can wait here, right? Please press the wound." Nam Young got up and came out leaving Hyunmie who was still crying quickly Hyunmie replaced Nam Young's position to press the wound on Kyuhyun's stomach.
"Don't die. I beg you.don't leave me alone.I only have you now..." Hyunmie could only continue to cry looking at Kyuhyun who was not moving at all.
Although both of them were married because Hyunmie was now only able to depend on Kyuhyun, he had no one if Kyuhyun was not around. His family would have excommunicated him if Kyuhyun died.

In the North everyone has started to prepare for the battle for tomorrow morning, some fort that Jong Seo has built before is enough to help narrow the movement of the Jurchens. He is now planning a war strategy in his tent with Hagi, Jung soo, Jong Hyun and Jin so.
"Jin So will help you tell me who General Jurchen is on the battlefield, so he will be on the front when he opens the road" Jong Seo looked at Hagi who was still staring at the war plan he made by probing.
"We don't have to take all our soldiers out like this, our first priority is General Jurchen, only then can we get all of our soldiers out so that all is not in vain. About Jin so he better not come, I'm sure the pendulum will show the right person." Hagi's words in reply were nods from everyone there.
"I also agree with Hagi, Jin So should keep a secret so that at any time he can return to being a spy later." This time Jung So added. Jong Seo nodded in understanding, it seemed like his decision was right by negotiating everything first with Hagi and Jung so.
"Well tomorrow morning we can focus on first sealing the pendulum, after the pendulum is sealed Hagi, Jung so Hyung also Jong Hyun will return to the fortress. Jung so Hyung who will send a second army to the battlefield, I myself will remain on the front line leading the first army. Jong Hyun made sure that Hagi arrived at Jeju safely so Jin So would guard the fort." All nodded obediently, Hagi seemed to smile in awe he did not expect his great grandfather who was famous as a great General could set a strategy as good as this.
After discussing for a long time everyone returned to their respective tents except Hagi, there was something he needed to convey to Jong Seo first.
"What's wrong? Why do you want to talk to me in private?" Hagi let out a small breath then looked at Jong seo with a faint smile.
"Have you read the book I gave you?" Jong seo gave a small breath and nodded slowly.
"I don't believe that such a thing happens, but if you think about it all makes sense. I'll do as you please."
"Thank you make sure tomorrow you're always around me so I can easily give you that pendulum." Jong Seo nodded in understanding making Hagi smile in relief, there was a part of her heart that still felt heavy after all this was over, leaving the first love turned out to be very heavy for Hagi.
"May I ask you something?" Hagi looked at Jong Seo who was a little hesitant in contrast to before, Jong Seo looked insecure making Hagi frown in surprise.
"What's wrong? Is anyone bothering you?" Hagi tilted his head when he saw Jong Seo rubbing his nape nervously, it felt like Hagi was not strange with that move. Yesung oppa always like this when in doubt also nervous, the thing that only Yesung will do in front of him also Hyunmie in the future.
"Does this have anything to do with Hyunmie?" Jong Seo immediately stiffened instantly at the stare Hagi was transfixed making Hagi forced to hold a smile because her guess was right. It turns out that whether in the past or in the future there is nothing changed with the person who is now in front of Hagi.
"Say me. I'll answer it. You already know everything so there's nothing I need to cover you anymore." Jong Seo took a deep breath and confirmed his sitting position, still looking a little doubt on Jong seo's face.
"In the book you wrote you said Hyunmie and I were in the future, right? all I want to ask is if Hyunmie and I have a chance of being together?" Hagi looked at Jong Seo meaningfully, making Jong Seo cough up misbehavior, at first Hagi just guessed but it turned out that the guess was right.
"Don't worry in this time you may not be together, but I will definitely be in the future exactly in my time you can be together. Sorry at this moment I had to separate you. I'll make it up to you in the future." Hagi smiled slightly when he saw the relief in Jong Seo's eyes, actually without being sure in the future Yesung and Hyunmie have been made sure to get married considering the two have even been married since childhood. At least Hagi will make sure the tragedy in the past will not be repeated, Hagi also promised Hyunmie about it.
"What about Kyuhyun? Was he in your time too? In the book you wrote I don't see any Kyuhyun's name in the future." Jong seo's question this time successfully made Hagi stunned sadly, while smiling sadly Hagi looked at Jong Seo while shaking his head.
"I don't think he's around but I hope Kyuhyun hasn't come yet. At least that's what I expected." The pain that Hagi has been trying to forget came back to the surface, when everyone in this time sacrificed a lot and ended up happy in the future, he said, Hagi felt that she was the only one who did not have any idea of her happiness.
