Chapter

"How do you find this fine evening?" Byung-Woo startled me as he suddenly started talking from behind me. I didn't even know he was here. But I guess it is a pleasant surprise, after all, we too went through a lot in the past year.

"I find it beautiful, calming, almost...steadying; if that is the word" I didn't look back at him. Just tilted my head so I could catch a glimpse of him.

"It indeed is, steadying" He stood next to me. Not only did he hold the next rank to the King and Queen in this kingdom, but is also a good friend of Myung-Dae. I wanted to make him a good friend of mine too. Someone as strong as him is needed to be a comrade.

"What are you doing here? Don't you have something more important to do than to admire the evening of the year's longest night?" I sounded rude and I realized after the words had already escaped.
