Chapter 50
At this point, Shin was no longer listening to the servant. The moment he heard Yoon-Yi's name, he started walking towards the back of the house. He reached the terrace in a few seconds and stopped in front of the stone steps. He was panting slightly, and his chest felt uneasy. The place where he stood faced the pond and a cool gust of wind came from the water, swirling the robes around his legs. Repressing a shiver, Shin finally went up the stairs and reached the wooden floor of the terrace.
The scene in front of him rendered him speechless and he once again stopped moving.
Yoon-Yi and Jung-Hee were sitting in the middle of the porch, a small table placed between them. Two white porcelain bottles of rice wine were perched on the table right in front of Yoon-Yi and she was fighting with her cousin for the possession of a third one.
"I told youuu, I am fiiiine. Now let go, Jung-Heeee." Yoon-Yi was speaking in a rather childish tone.
