Chapter 60

His face grew dark when she mentioned the East Palace. Neither Ruhae nor Kyosul wanted to speak directly of Bipaan.

"So, did you meet him?"

"Yes, I talked with him a lot, but…" she said, shaking her head from side to side.

Though she wandered around to search for Ruhae all day long, she couldn't find him.

"I realized belatedly that it was just useless to wander around in the wrong places. The man I'm concerned about and searched for is only you, Ruhae."

She came running. As soon as she realized that belatedly, she put aside everything and came running to him as she missed him so much.

"I really missed you."

"Thank you."

He pulled her hand and put it on his lips.

That was the only way he could show his thanks.

She felt his warm breathing between her fingers.

"Thanks so much for coming to this rough place out of concern for me."

"You're welcome. I couldn't do anything to help you."

"No, you did enough."

He resolutely nodded at her as she lowered her head shyly.
