“Huh? Eun-hyang, is something wrong?”

 

“Miss, a letter has arrived from the Medical Academy.”

Seo-yu, who had been puzzled, widened her eyes at the mention of ‘Medical Academy’.

Seo Yu swallowed hard and tore open the envelope. Her hands trembled as she read each character, line by line.

“Eun-hyang, I!”

“Eunhyang, me!”

“Congratulations.”

“Congratulations.”

Before she could even finish speaking, Eun-hyang offered her congratulations.

 

Seoyu smiled brightly, gave Eunhyang a quick hug, and hurried into the medical room.

“Master!”

“Master!”
Swoosh!

Her face was full of excitement as she spread out the letter for him to see.

 

 

 

“Yes, look! Over here!”

“There’s no way my disciple wouldn’t pass the exam. It’s nothing to be surprised about.”

Hyenya glanced over the letter that Seoyu was excitedly waving around and said indifferently.

At those words, a bright smile bloomed on Seo-yu’s face.

 

‘My teacher really trusts me a lot.’
It merely gave her the opportunity to take the exam first; ultimately, passing was Seo-yu’s responsibility.

How nervous she had been when she went to the examination hall specially prepared in the Eastern Lands to take the test!

He had simply been given the opportunity to take the test as a priority, but ultimately passing it was up to Seoyu.

Like someone who truly believed Seo-yu could accomplish anything.

When Seoyu thinks about that day, he still breaks out in a sweat, but his master Hyeonya was as calm then as he is now.

「Hwang Seo-yu」

Like someone who truly believes that Seo Yu can accomplish anything.
Seo-yu couldn’t take her eyes off her name written at the end of the admission certificate.

She still couldn’t believe that the surname placed before the two characters of Seo-yu was truly hers.

“The Western Journey of Hwang”

‘Hwang Seo-yu. I really am Hwang Seo-yu.’

Seoyu couldn’t take her eyes off her name written at the bottom of the admission letter.

As she was finishing her work in the Medical Room with a happy heart, she heard the footsteps of the twins coming to pick her up from outside.

 

 

As I was finishing up my medical work with a happy heart, I could hear the footsteps of the twins who had come to pick me up from outside.

“I passed the Medical Academy!”

“Hey youngest! Are you done with classes today?”

“Really? Wow! Hey, hey, Hwang Li-gon! Did you hear! Our youngest passed the Medical Academy!”

“Sis!”
Yi-ryeong waved her hands wildly, celebrating together with her. However, Li-gon’s reaction was quite different from what she expected.

“Oh, really? That’s good.”

For some reason, his face showed traces of disappointment, making Seo-yu read the mood carefully.

“Really? Wow! Hey, hey, Hwang Rigon! Did you hear that! Our youngest got accepted to medical school!”

Lee-ryeong waved her hands excitedly, celebrating together with them. However, Rigon’s reaction was quite different from what was expected.

“Oh, really? That’s great.”

Seo Yu watched cautiously as disappointment showed on her face for some reason.

‘Brother Li-gon seems to be in a bad mood lately.’

 

It wasn’t just today. Recently, Li-gon had been looking continuously dejected.

 

It wasn’t as if he had fought with Yi-ryeong since they were getting along well together, and there wasn’t any other particular reason for him to be upset.

 

“Brother Li-gon, is something wrong by any chance?”

 

When she asked carefully out of concern, the corners of Li-gon’s mouth drooped downward.

 

“Seo-yu… are you that happy about being separated from us?”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“These days you only talk about the Medical Academy… I don’t really like you going there.”

 

Li-gon had an extremely sad expression. Only then did Seo-yu realize why Li-gon had been sulking.

 

“That’s not what I meant…”

 

Just as Seo-yu was about to hastily make excuses.

 

Thwack!

 

The sound of a walnut cracking could be heard.

 

“Ow!”

 

Li-gon, who had suddenly gotten flicked on the forehead by Yi-ryeong, clutched his forehead.

 

“Ah, why did you hit me!”

 

“Aren’t you being an idiot?”

 

Yi-ryeong clicked her tongue.

 

“It’s not like Youngest will never come home for the rest of her life, and we can just go visit the Western Region for fun. Don’t you have wings?”

 

“But still, we won’t be able to see her much.”

 

“Then Youngest will miss us too.”

 

Li-gon, who seemed to have realized something as he scratched his head, apologized to Seo-yu.

 

“Sorry, Seo-yu. I spoke too selfishly.”

 

“No, Brother. I want to be with Sister and my brothers too. But…”

 

Seo-yu paused for a moment, then added with a somewhat shy face.

 

“I want to become a better physician. So I can be helpful to the Eastern Lands.”

 

“Youngest, just call yourself the older sister. From what I can see, Hwang Li-gon doesn’t qualify as an older brother.”

 

“You always say I don’t qualify for anything.”

 

Li-gon replied sulkily, but he seemed embarrassed himself. Fortunately, Yi-ryeong quickly changed the subject.

 

“But does Brother Li-han know about this news?”

 

“Not yet! I was just about to tell him.”

 

“Then let’s all go together now!”

 

The three of them headed toward Li-han’s room in a group.

 

Knock knock!

 

“Brother Li-han! Come out! Youngest has something to tell you!”

 

“Hm?”

 

Soon Li-han came out of his room. Since he had been reading, a closed book was visible.

 

“Seo-yu, something to tell me?”

 

Seo-yu quickly held out the letter.

 

“Brother, I passed the Medical Academy.”

 

“The announcement came out! Congratulations, Seo-yu. You did really well.”

 

Li-han stroked Seo-yu’s head with a proud expression. Seo-yu giggled happily at his affectionate touch.

 

Then, seeing his younger sister laughing so hard that her cute dimples showed deeply, he fell into thought for a moment.

 

“Seo-yu, I’d like to tell you some things to be careful about before going to the Medical Academy. Would that be okay?”

 

“Yes, of course! Please tell me.”

 

Seo-yu’s eyes sparkled. Her gaze showed the determination to engrave every word in her memory.

 

Li-han smiled gently and said.

 

“Be careful of boys.”

 

“Huh?”

 

At the unexpected words, Seo-yu doubted her own ears, but Li-han was serious.

 

“First, avoid guys who talk too much. Chattering unnecessarily means they have something they want to hide.”

 

“Ah… Then I should get along with quiet people!”

 

“Hmm, but if they’re too quiet, it might feel stuffy inside, so that’s not very good either.”

 

Seo-yu tilted her head.

 

“Huh, then…?”

 

“Those who laugh too much are the opposite too. You can’t tell what they’re thinking inside.”

 

“Th-then what about serious people?”

 

“They’re no fun. It would be boring to be with them.”

 

Seo-yu became increasingly confused.

 

Listening to Li-han’s words, she began to think, ‘Is he just telling me not to associate with boys at all?’

 

“Of course, the most dangerous are boys who only have pretty faces.”

 

That was exactly Li-han’s intention as he nodded.

 

If you meet the wrong boy, your family will be ruined!

 

When attending banquets, he heard many things from adults, and this was a common story that always came up.

 

‘Seo-yu is very cute and adorable, so strange boys might be attracted to her.’

 

That must not happen to his precious younger sister.

 

Seo-yu seemed like she wouldn’t be good at refusing due to her personality, so he had to warn her firmly.

 

However, unfortunately for Li-han, at that moment Seo-yu was thinking of a certain boy.

 

‘Where did that child disappear to?’

 

The first day she went to Cheongmyeong Valley in the Dragon Palace. The mysterious boy she met while losing consciousness after being swept away by the whirlpool.

 

The other family members thought Seo-yu had seen a hallucination that day, but Seo-yu thought differently.

 

That was definitely not a fantasy but reality.

 

‘Ga-ram, Eun-hyang. Are there any sea creatures that can transform into other animals? Like, a whale becoming a turtle or a person?’

 

‘Hmm… There is something called a mimic octopus. But it only imitates appearances and characteristics similarly, it couldn’t transform into such large animals.’

 

‘We chameleons can only mimic colors, we cannot change the size of our bodies.’

 

But even Eun-hyang and Ga-ram said that such animals don’t exist in the world.

 

‘But I saw it clearly.’

 

Most importantly, that beautiful boy had given Seo-yu air.

 

If it hadn’t been for the breath the Boy had shared with her, Seo-yu might have suffocated to death.

 

She should thank him, but she didn’t even know his name, let alone whether he was truly a living person!

 

Feeling frustrated, Seo-yu unconsciously let out a deep sigh.

 

“Hmm? Seo-yu, is there perhaps someone you’re thinking of?”

 

Li-han, who saw this, casually asked.

 

‘Is it Eun-ho?’

 

Li-han knew that Eun-ho had sent Seo-yu several letters since Dragon Moon Night had passed.

 

In Jusang Kingdom, marriage between cousins was possible, so there was no real problem, and it wasn’t that Eun-ho was lacking either.

 

‘But Seo-yu is still young. There’s no need to decide on a match already.’

 

Li-han completely forgot that he himself had been receiving marriage proposals since Seo-yu’s age and nodded his head, thinking ‘Yes, exactly.’

 

“No, Brother. I don’t know anyone like that.”

 

Fortunately, Seo-yu shook her head.

 

Li-han felt relieved, but at the same time, a corner of his heart ached.

 

‘She’s a child who came from the Western Lands…’

 

The fact that she didn’t know anyone there seemed to show how Seo-yu had been living all this time.

 

“It’s alright, Seo-yu. When you go to the Medical Academy this time, you’ll make many good friends.”

 

“Do you really think so?”

 

“Of course. When you make friends, be sure to bring them home.”

 

Friends…

 

Seo-yu set aside her thoughts about the Boy for a moment and quietly repeated that word.

 

‘Could I also make other friends?’

 

With the gentle anticipation that bloomed, a soft smile appeared on Seo-yu’s face.

Meanwhile, several months before that.

 

Nok Su-jeong was on her way to the Qilin Family.

 

Normally, she would have complained about the long journey being boring, but today she didn’t whine even once.

 

Su-jeong’s mind was filled with only one person.

 

‘Ah, I want to see the Young Family Head soon.’

 

That person was none other than the Young Family Head of the Qilin Family.
