Timeless Love's
Miss U Father
The night grew colder when Hagi, Ma's uncle and aunt reached the Park residence at midnight, the small group met with the head of the household at the residence of the Park minister. Minister Park was already sleeping when they arrived so the three were immediately invited to sleep by the head of the Park family household who happened to be Aunt Ma's sister, Uncle Kang.
"Noona should explain everything tomorrow to Minister Park. Now it is better to rest first in the usual room. Because as long as you go that room is never used. But who's behind you is noona?" Kang Ajjusi looked at Hagi in full questioning, however he did not want any stranger to harm his master.
"Ah this? He's our adopted son, calm down he's a good boy. This kid saved both of us in Jeju and thanks for being so tired today." Uncle Kang nodded his head and let Hagi, uncle and aunt Ma go to rest, Hagi was a little surprised when he looked at Uncle Kang face to face, but Hagi quickly lowered his head and started following his uncle and Aunt Ma who were heading towards the back of the house.
'Again? It seems I will often see people I know in my time here later.' Hagi muttered inwardly as he occasionally glanced back at Uncle Kang.
All three went into a room that is quite spacious behind the house, precisely next to the kitchen that is used to store food, the room was sober but quite comfortable than when sleeping in the forest.
"Tomorrow wake up early Hagi_ya, we'll tidy up our things tomorrow, now go to sleep you have to meet with Park's minister. You take it easy he's a good man." Hagi nodded in understanding. After cleaning his makeshift body his uncle and aunt Ma fell asleep with a bed thick enough.
Winter is coming to an end, but in this age the weather is still very cold. Hagi was still awake when he recalled his encounter with Kim Jong Seo.
"If Yesung oppa I tell you what I saw he must be big-headed." Hagi muttered a little while remembering Kim Jong Seo's face looks like Kim Jong Won's oppa.
"It feels weird to see your own ancestors." Hagi slashed his breath and tried to sleep, he could not wake up any more what is now his status is only a servant in the house of an official.
The morning came faster as it seemed, because Hagi sensed that he had just closed his eyes when someone woke him up. For a moment Hagi felt lazy to wake up, but when he remembered where he was now with a quick movement Hagi woke up from his sleep.
"Sorry eomma did I miss you?" Hagi looked at aunt Ma guilty, because it seemed like Hagi was hard to wake up.
"It's okay it's still early, you want to come to the market? All Eomma's introduce to Uncle Kang's wife and son." Hagi nodded quickly, he could not bargain for now. This place is still unfamiliar to him and Hagi only knows close to his uncle and aunt Ma here.
"Eomma where's abeoji?" Hagi looked to the side when the blanket was neat beside him.
"Abeoji was away with uncle Kang looking for firewood near the forest, just left." Hagi stared at the slightly opened door, the sun still looking timidly out of his embrace. If not wrong now not even at 6 am, but everyone has started to activity.
"I think I'm really late eomma." Hagi smiled uneasily at Ma's aunt who was pulled back by Ma's aunt.
"It's okay, compared to aboeji and eomma, you're the most tired and you're still sick and your wounds haven't healed properly." Hagi slightly wrinkled when Aunt Ma touched the wound on his face, while Hagi thought it seemed like the wound on his face was very severe. Hagi so did not dare to reflect now.
"Is it still sick?" Aunt Ma seemed worried to see Hagi's reaction, but Hagi smiled soothingly and clasped Ma's aunt's hand.
"It's not eomma, it's just a little sore if touched. Maybe because it's not dry yet." Aunt Ma slashed out a weak breath.
"You're a woman, but your face hurts like this. Tell you what tomorrow we go to my best friend's place, I'm sure he must have something that can remove the scar on your face." Hagi nodded slowly, for some reason she missed her home even more than her mother. Aunt Ma is similar to her mother who always thinks of her appearance as a woman, always reminding Hagi if outside the house must use a sunblock.
Aunt Ma stared at the clothes Hagi was wearing, still the same as the clothes Hagi was wearing the other day.
"We'd better buy some clothes for you, you can't keep wearing your clothes." Hagi looked at himself then laughed a little.
"It's okay eomma I'm comfortable wearing this shirt." Hagi was indeed more comfortable wearing men's clothes, he didn't like wearing women's clothes, he could imagine how difficult it was for him to move with such a long hanbok.
"But everyone will think you're a man." Once again Hagi chuckled softly at Aunt Ma's protest.
"For now let this be eomma, after all it's okay if they think I'm a man. I'm not trying to lure anyone." Aunt Ma took a slow breath, even though she was eager to dress Hagi, because aunt Ma was sure Hagi would be beautiful if dandy.
"It's up to you. Eomma won't force." Hagi smiled then hugged aunt Ma dear made aunt Ma a little surprised but slowly aunt Ma returned Hagi's embrace.
"Thank you Eomma. But if eomma wants to buy me a shirt I don't mind. Maybe next time I can wear it." Aunt Ma nodded slightly then prepared to come out.
"Eomma wait for you in front. Don't be long ne." Hagi nodded then began to stretch slowly, it had been two days that he did not take a bath to make his body feel sticky, but he also did not have much choice, here other than to the river the servant could not bathe, he could not bathe, so for a while Hagi did not shower anymore. Hagi feels unclean now.-_-
Hagi approached Ma's aunt and the two women in the front yard, as if they were Uncle Kang's wife and son. Hagi greeted the two, clearly both of them were surprised to see Hagi, they stared in horror at his injured face. But quickly the two behaved normally when they saw Hagi's smiling expression.
"Ah mian, we were surprised earlier." Aunt Kang apologized first and was followed up by her daughter.
"Gwenchana ajjuma." Hagi tried to calm down even though he was also unhappy with the gaze of the two people before him. Aunt Ma once again let out a slow breath.
"Ah, this is my daughter, her name is Ahyoung." Ahyoung greeted Hagi and vice versa.
"Mimnida's yeast." Hagi also introduced himself and tried to smile, while Ahyoung was fixated on what the young girl thought but after that she looked timid, making Hagi raise her eyebrows in wonder.

The market is already crowded this morning some of them sell food that still looks fresh, Hagi looked at the crowd with a smile. When things like this no longer exist, the traditional market in Seoul is better than at this time, if Hagi is not mistaken his mother said his ancestors began to be known during the reign of king Sejong and it was exactly in 1433 almost 600 years ago.
But until now Hagi did not get any obstacles while living here even though the time difference is almost 600 years, Hagi again missed his home. He felt grateful now for always obeying his father all this time. From what Hagi likes to hate, because somehow all his father's lessons make Hagi more quickly adapt to the environment in this era.
Several times Hagi saw some people looking at him asking, it seemed like the wound on his face became a free spectacle.
"Don't ignore them Hagi. They don't know anything." Aunt Ma, who had been watching Hagi, whispered softly to her adopted daughter, Hagi embraced dear aunt Ma.
"It's okay, eomma, I don't care either." Aunt Ma smiled fondly, it seems that Hagi is indeed not a girl who cares too much about the views of others.
Hagi again walked ahead of Aunt Ma walking towards the vegetable merchant who was also surprised by him but returned friendly when Hagi started bidding on his vegetables.
"Eonni are you okay raising her to be a child?" Aunt Ma's attention was turned to her sister-in-law and then looked in surprise at Aunt Kang.
"meaning?"
"Eonni can see his face? Wouldn't that hurt you, Eonni?" Kang's aunt's words suddenly caused Ma's aunt to be slightly provoked by her emotions but before answering Ahyoung had already scolded her mother.
"What's wrong with eomma? Most importantly Hagi is a good boy, isn't that so ajjuma?" Aunt Ma nodded steadily, making Aunt Kang pout. Aunt Ma and Ahyoung approach Hagi leaving aunt Kang who does not accept her son's answer.
Finished shopping for groceries Aunt Ma asked aunt Kang and Ahyoung to come back first, according to aunt Ma's plan to buy some simple hanbok for Hagi as well as 1 man's clothes that Hagi did want.
"Are you sure you want to buy some namja clothes?" Hagi only laughed a little then nodded confidently.
"Trust me eomma, I'm more comfortable with namja than yeoja." Aunt Ma breathed out her outstretched head gently stroking Hagi's hair.
"Do what you want to do." Hagi smiled slightly then picked up the package from the store owner. Her hand immediately held onto Aunt Ma after Aunt Ma paid.
"Eomma is it okay to buy this many clothes for me?" Aunt Ma nodded small.
"It's okay, and anyway your abejim says you deserve it." Hagi raised his eyebrows confused.
"meaning?"
"Later Abeoji explained to you, now we have to hurry back. We have to help Aunt Kang cook and again I have to introduce you to Miss Park." Hagi nodded obediently and then walked back in tandem with Aunt Ma.
Arriving at Hagi's house is ready to help with cooking when Uncle Kang calls him to split firewood for cooking. Initially, Ma's uncle wanted to protest against his sister-in-law, besides Hagi had not been cured, Hagi was actually a woman. But Hagi held it in and started to help split the firewood.
Uncle Ma had almost forgotten this girl before him was extremely strong. He still remembers how Hagi defeated the criminals who almost killed master Kim Kyuhyun.
"Are you well? The wounds on your face haven't healed yet." Uncle Ma asked as sweat began to pour out from Hagi's temple.
"He's a man, don't be spoiled Hyung. The wound on his face would be no problem." Uncle Kang who still considers Hagi male feels uncle Ma is too excessive.
"But he__" Hagi again blocked Uncle Ma's speech.
"Ne ajjusi I do not like to be spoiled so just calm ajjusi." Uncle Kang gave a steady nod.
"Good."
Uncle Ma gave a small breath, it seemed like Hagi wanted to make everyone think that he was a man.
"So you're coming home to Dae Hyun." The three in unison turned around when someone called Uncle Ma.
Uncle Ma and uncle Kang immediately saluted the person who had just reprimanded them, in contrast to the stunned Hagi. Slowly Hagi bit her lips slowly, for some reason she wanted to hug the person who was now in front of her.
'Abeoji...'
