As Da-hye was talking to Dressmaker Cho she saw the way that Sang-ho was looking at Mi-hi.

~~

Sang-ho looked at Da-hye, he was clearly annoyed with her. But that was Da-hye's specialty, annoying everyone around her.

"Fine, I won't bother you about her anymore. Because you like Cho Mi-hi." Da-hye smiled.

Da-hye saw the Seaweed cookies that Dang-gu wanted. She recognized the seller. It was Cho Mi-hi.

"Mi-hi?" Da-hye said. That made Sang-ho turn his head towards Mi-hi.

"Oh, Young Lady Park! How can I assist you today?" Mi-hi said.

"Mmm, I would like Seaweed cookies." Da-hye said as she walked towards Mi-hi.

She knew that Sang-ho got nervous around Mi-hi.

"How much?" Mi-hi asked.

"Four."

Mi-hi wrapped up 4 seaweed cookies and put them in a paper bag.

"Will that be all?" Mi-hi asked.

"I would also like 3 honey biscuits." Da-hye said.

Mi-hi did the same thing with the honey biscuits, then she gave Da-hye the bags.

"2 nyang."  Mi-hi said.

Da-hye paid Mi-hi and then she and Sang-ho left.

"You're blushing." Da-hye told Sang-ho once they were far from Mi-hi.

"No, I am not." Sang-ho said in a serious tone.

"You were." Da-hye said. "I saw it. It is okay to admit your feelings for Cho Mi-hi."

Sang-ho, the leader, and Da-hye were in Jeongjingak looking at Naksu's body.

"How long do you plan to keep Naksu's body at Jeongjingak?" Sang-ho asked the leader.

"If she succeeded in finding a new body, Naksu...will come back for her sword." The leader said. "She will come here looking for her body. Let us see how things turn out."

Da-hye didn't like this thing of keeping the body of a very skilled assassin in Jeongjingak. It creeped her out. But it if it meant catching Naksu, Da-hye would put up with it.

Yul wanted to meet Dang-gu and Da-hye. Yul was sitting right across from Da-hye. In Yul's hand was a bird whistle. Da-hye was leaning back on her chair with her eyes closed, she was resting them.

"All right. Dang-gu is here." Dang-gu broke the silence. Dang-gu took a seat next to Da-hye."What is that?" Dang-gu asked Yul. "It is a whistle?"

"Yes." Yul said. "I swear I made this." Yul had found the whistle in Naksu's pocket. Da-hye was also curious as to why Naksu had Yul's bird whistle.

"Oh, right. I remember you used to have a pet bird." Dang-gu said. "Why? Are you planning to get a new one?"

"No, not exactly." Yul said. "I just found this on someone unexpected." By someone unexpected Yul meant Naksu.

"I wonder why she had it." Yul said. Yul had given that whistle to a childhood friend in Danhyanggok. Da-hye only remembered that because Yul had been very heartbroken after his friend did not want to see him anymore.

"Maybe you gave it to her." Dang-gu said. "Maybe you forgot that you gave it to her."

"No." Yul said. "I clearly remember who I gave this to."

Da-hye was connecting the dots. Was Yul's childhood friend Naksu? Did he know that?

"Then go ask her." Dang-gu said.

Dang-gu was so clueless. Da-hye was the smarter twin. Yul suddenly got up. That cause Da-hye to open her eyes.

"You are going at this hour?" Dang-gu asked Yul.

"I need to check something." Yul said. Had he already figured out that Naksu was his childhood friend? Yul walked off.

"What is wrong with him?" Dang-gu asked.

"He misses the person he gave the whistle to." Da-hye said. "I am assuming."
