Chapter 69: At The Tip Of Destinys Branch (2/2)
We drank with each other for a long time.
This was the first time that I got this drunk after coming into this life.
***
Two days later.
This time Baek Pyo and Kw.a.n.g Du sat across each other.
Baek Pyo had called Kw.a.n.g Du.
“Thank you for coming the other day. Without you I would have never found my new master.”
“I should be the one that is thankful.”
Kw.a.n.g Du laughed. Until today he was very nervous about the outcome. He was afraid that he messed up everything for his young master.”
He thought that to do something for someone else’s happiness you must empty yourself first.
Now that he think about it he believed he made the right decision. And since the outcome was good he became happy.
“Lets have a drink.”
“Yes, please.”
To be honest, Kw.a.n.g Du really like Baek Pyo. He didn’t know how to describe it but he felt more safe and secure with him around just like a big brother.
If he didn’t like Baek Pyo then he wouldn’t have come the other day.
“Please take care of me.” Kw.a.n.g Du raised his gla.s.s.
“No I should be the one saying that.” Baek Pyo clashed his gla.s.s.

The next day, I took Jung Young and Myung He and headed to San Dong.
Since it this trip had a women and a seven year old child I rented a very comfortable carriage. And we stopped everytime Myung He felt tired and when it was nightfall we always stopped at an inn.
And at the inn we got the best room and fed the best food.
Although Jung Young was uncomfortable getting treated like this she was very moved.
She wouldn’t know but the person who declared their marriage some nine years ago was me.
And like this I was getting closer to the two of them.
One night she said, “My husband used to have nightmare everynight. But after meeting you his nightmare disappeared. Thank you young master Byuk.”
This might be another reason why she was thankful for me.
“That’s a good thing.”
“Please take good care of my husband.”
“That is something I should be saying. Please take care of us.”
After twenty or so days we finally arrived home.
“Mother, father. I am back.”
My parents welcomed us warmly. Before I left I told them about Jung Young and Myung He. So, they welcomed them warmly.
“Welcome, Lady Jung.”
“Welcome.”
Jung Young greeted the two of them, “I am called Jung Young. Please take care of me. Myung-Ah pay your respect to the elder.”
Myung He bowed to my parents, “My name is Myung He. Please take good care of me.”
Although he was only seven years old he spoke very clearly.
My mother squatted next to Myung He and said, “So you are Myung He. Who do you look after that makes you so handsome.”
He turned his head around and said, “My mother.”
My mother smiled, “Seeing him so bright, you don’t have to worry about his future.”
“Hahaha.”
Hearing my mother’s joke everyone laughed.
“Lets get along well in the future.”
My mother gave him a hug. She showed her motherly emotion.
My father said to Jung Young, “Think of this as your house.”
“Thank you.”
My father asked me, “How is it going in Mu Han?”
“Things are going well. Everything is going as I planned and I met a great warrior named Baek Pyo. I am sure he will be a great help to us in the future.”
“Good.” My father said with a smile.
“Before you make a decision, you must always think about the person on the receiving end of the action.”
“I will keep it in mind father.”
My mother grabbed Jung Young’s hand. “Being a wife of a Kang Ho-in there are only men in the house. All they talk about is their fights. So, I was getting bored, but it seems like I finally have someone to chat with. Let’s get along well in the future.”
Hearing my what my mother said, Jung Young became fl.u.s.tered. She never expected them to treat them like this and she didn’t know how to act in front of them.
In actuality they were the parent of the person who her husband decided to follow. This was a very complicated relations.h.i.+p. But they were treating her well as well as trying to make her as comfortable as possible.
“Now lets look at the room that will be yours.”
It was a room that wasn’t far from my parent’s bedroom. It was one of the biggest room in the house.
The interior was clean and well decorated.
“This will be your room from now on.”
Feeling exited Myung He jump up to the small bed that designated for him.
“Wah! I have my own bed.”
This room had everything that Myung He and Jung Young needed all thanks to my mother.
Jung Young became even more fl.u.s.tered, “We don’t need such a big room like this.”
She thought that she was going to live in a small room doing household ch.o.r.es.
“Do you not like it?”
“No. That’s not it but…”
“What should we do, this is the worst room. If you want a better one…”
“No, no we will use this room.”
She couldn’t refuse my parents since they came out like that. Of course she will understand after living here for a while that this is the second best room.
When I sent a message home, I requested it to my mother. Since it is someone special take extra care. But this exceeded my expectation.
She looked at me with a prideful expression, ‘what do you thing? What do you think about your mother?’
When Jung Young wasn’t looking I stuck out my thum saying, ‘mother, you are the best!’
Unfortunately the stronger you get the more burden your family has to bear and the more likely they will become the target.
But I know. For a truly strong person their family will become their strength.
Today, since my family increased, my strength also increased.
