the wind was definitely unbridled &  HARSH,  making a loud ‘whoosh’ each time it visited them. the surrounding trees danced in accordance. luckily for the princess, hak’s body temperature ran pretty warm. he opened up the first layer of his clothing so she could huddle up even closer. “this is why you shouldn’t have been so  INSISTENT  on going to the lake.” of course, he had to say something.  meanwhile, jae-ha & zeno were on the look-out to find a cave they could take refuge in for the night, since the outside would be just a bit too  unforgiving. 

a BRIEF silence ensued the other's unprompted  kiss.  huh... huh—??  it was gruesome to hold back normally but the princess always had to go and make it  WORSE.  free hands pulled her closer, one palm on her back the other on her waist, taking more control of the kiss. she doesn't know what she's getting into, does she? 

“yeah, i’d assume otherwise from how  defenseless  you look,” he added, loosening his robe. It was about the time of the evening there weren’t going to be any more students. He supposed looks had always been deceiving when it came to his friend. “d’you wanna head somewhere to eat?” funnily enough, hak was  OBLIVIOUS  to soo-won’s splitting migraine. 

it was right then, in the middle of all the  FUSS  between the two parties, a young man  intervened—  beckoning the girl’s attention. “excuse me,” he smiled before bending down to the other’s ear-level and whispering something. perhaps he was concerned? 

w a h ~  he didn’t expect her to actually get  physical.  “hasn’t anybody told you?” he said, holding back the girl’s wrists  INCHES  away from his throat, “anger isn’t a good look on a  woman. ” at this point he was  asking  for it. 

“unfortunately,  yes,”  he replies before grabbing one more of the delicately made sweets.  “quit frowning so much, you’ll end up all  wrinkly. ” 

“fell ‘er the sweefs are goof ‘oo.”  was he supposed to consuming all the treats displayed?  probably not.  in his defense it was how he coped with  BOREDOM. 

“I was just saying how the drinks here are  LOVELY.”  

“tell me about it.. if only a certain  princess  didn’t go around  YELLING  at the slightest inconvenience.” 

“ trust me,  i’d rather not be  here  either.”  //  @pyr0latry​

“alright, alright,”  hak responded to her plea in monotone. “your hair looks  FANTASTIC—” was he being sarcastic or  genuine?  it was hard to tell. “especially with all those  twigs & bugs   decorating it.” okay, now he was being  OBVIOUS.

the other’s deft jump was internally commended by the martial artist, hands quickly reacting to the man’s follow-up blow. soo-won’s punch was halted mid-way, captured by his grip inches away from his jaw. impressive. “Not bad,” Hak mentioned, easing down from the spar.  i guess he wasn’t lying when he said he’s been training.

OK SO I was reading one of the scans from the fanbook ( link here ) and, when Hak was 7 yr old, there was a tile breaking competition and Hak was the only one who  couldn’t  break them. And apparently his eyes turned  RED & TEARY.  It turns out that Mun-dok had  REPLACED  all his tiles with the  strongest  ones. Which he didn’t know and trained himself to death so he could break them all in the next tournament.
