Chapter 58

As Kim Jong-Seo stopped speaking, Yoon-Yi felt a small tremor coursing through her body. For a moment she felt scared. Was he going to withdraw his approval? Was he going to say that they couldn't be together?

This very thought made Yoon-Yi's heart sink and she held her breath. Kim Jong-Seo's next words, though, gave her sublime happiness.

"Shin came to me a while ago and told me he would like to marry you. Of course, I gave him my permission immediately. I saw no reason to delay such a happy event. However, he said he wanted to wait until after his military examination results came out."

Without realizing, Yoon-Yi let out the breath she had been holding. So that was it. It wasn't the fact that she was not allowed to be with him, but that she had to wait a little longer. Her face broke into a beaming smile and she bowed her head.

"That is nothing, uncle. I can wait."
