Summary
“You’ll stay here,” San said. Voice low, flat, final. “Not as a servant. Not as a guest.”
Nothing else.
He didn’t need to say more.
Yeosang’s mouth opened—just a fraction. A tiny, soundless breath escaped. Then it closed again. He stayed bowed, lashes trembling once, twice. The words refused to settle inside him. Not servant. Not guest. Then… what?
Behind them the servants moved forward—soft footsteps, rustling silk.
One of the older women stepped closest, voice gentle but firm.
“Young master,” she said to Yeosang, bowing again. “The master has already prepared everything for you. New silk kimonos—several, in colors that will suit your complexion. New combs carved from sandalwood. Hairpins with freshwater pearls and jade. They’re waiting in your room.”
She paused, eyes flicking to the small, worn bundle at Yeosang’s feet.
“You may throw away what you’ve brought. There’s no need for it here.”
