Side Story Episode 8. How About You?
“Why is your grandfather so grumpy, I wonder?”
Baek Muheun grumbled as he applied medicine to his chapped lips.
The marks were signs of a harsh beating he had taken for messing around with his father-in-law.
“That old man just doesn’t know when to stop. It could’ve been worse if it weren’t for the sword sheath. If he’d hit me a bit more, I might not have been able to eat for days. Seriously, does it make sense to mess up your son-in-law’s face just because of a little joke?”
The last strike from Maegeullyeom’s sword guard was so sharp that even Baek Muheun, who usually dodged or blocked easily, got caught off guard and took the hit.
Of course, it was mainly because he had let his guard down in excitement, teasing his father-in-law...
“So why do you give yourself a beating like that?”
Baek Suryong clicked his tongue without even looking at his father’s split lip.
He was casually dressed and was sitting on the bed, skimming through some papers he’d brought.
Baek Muheun’s eyes narrowed sharply as he glared at him.
“You? Whose side are you on, anyway?”
“I’m on the side of the next master of Cheongryong Academy.”
“My own son is turning out to be a traitor clinging to the powers that be…”
Even as Baek Muheun let out a deep sigh, Baek Suryong didn’t bat an eye.
