Chapter 129 Grudges and Favors
When Namgung-woo rushed out to find Namgung Sol after hearing the Yang brothers’ breathless report…
Inside a private annex room at Changmu Inn, the sound of “Thump, thump!” from kicking a blanket never ceased.
“Ugh! Zhuge Seon-a, you idiot! Idiot! Idiot!”
Lying on the bed, Zhuge Seon-a kept kicking her blanket. Then, realizing Peng Ha-ryeong was in the next room, she quickly pulled the blanket close and turned over. Her face naturally buried itself in the pillow, plunging her vision into darkness. As her sight dimmed, her mind, instead of processing visual information, began replaying memories of what she was currently thinking. It was the same phenomenon where the more you try to forget something, the more vividly it resurfaces.
What filled Zhuge Seon-a’s mind was what had happened that morning. Having stayed up almost all night, Zhuge Seon-a prepared to leave her room a little earlier than her usual breakfast time. It was precisely when Namgung-woo, who always woke up earlier than anyone else, would finish his morning training according to his routine. The moment she opened the door, Zhuge Seon-a ran right into Namgung-woo, who had been about to knock.
‘What was that “Hieeeek”? “Hieeeek”?!’
Yes. “Hieeeek”… a rather pathetic scream, but it was fine. Up to this point, it was within the realm of understanding. Anyone would be startled if they opened a door and suddenly encountered someone else. Even a Peerless Master would, probably. Anyway, up to this point, it was manageable.
