The stab was not a big deal and Haru took so much care of him that after a day he already leaves the nursery. He started to ask even during his stay about the informations and he came to hear the person he killed was ZiFu's brother.
No, he doesn't feel bad for killing. Haru keeps asking him how he feels but he looks strangely fine.
After leaving the nursery, he prepares himself to go to LianBi.

On the way, he comes across Hiro and a few other Shinobi, looking like they just won a Battlefield game season. "There he is!" Hiro says, immediately wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "My grandson!"
°-° Yoshi's face while getting surrounded by them. "G..grandpa? What are you doing?" He blinks.
"Aish, there I thought you were a lost case, but no! Your eomeoni told me! Good job, consider yourself a hero for taking that rapist." He punches him in a friendly way.
Yoshi groans slightly as he gets punched and places a hand on his wound. "Mhm..."
Hiro nods. "Tonight, we will party up in your residence. Don't miss, we are already organizing."
Yoshi snorts slightly, not in an amused way, and moves from Hiro. "Grandpa, I have something to do. See you around." He bows slightly and proceeds to the Red Hall.

He comes across HyunKi on the way that stops him too. "Yah. I heard you got hurt." He looks at him from head to toe.
"Ah ye...it is not a big deal. I am fine, hyung. I wanted to talk to Jeonha."
HyunKi nods at his words. "Go, I will see you later."

Finally Yoshi enters the Red Hall and bows to LianBi. He holds his belly while doing it. "Shiix Xu, Jeonha."

Since when XiYu got raped, nothing seems to go well. He was still quite upset before and it is just continuing to go worse.
He didn't expect Tero to have such feelings towards him, even more surprising was Liang, plus the argument he had with Tero...this messed him up a lot and it added itself to the long list of troubles and worries he has. He is also so stressed these days...

Needless to say, when he returns home -late night-, he closes himself inside his room and explodes, bursting into tears and curling up. He didn't want to be noticed but Noriyori hears him cry and goes to his room.
She wasn't sure he was actually crying, before to enter. She blinks and approaches him, trying not to be a**hole. ''What happened this time?''
Yoshi moves his gaze away, leaning his head on his legs.
Noriyori sits near him, placing her head on his arm. ''Is it because of XiYu? You are sad because she doesn't want you to see you? Ani, you have to understand her. Give her some time...'' She says, looking at Yoshi that doesn't stop to cry and doesn't seem to be feeling any better. ''Aish, what else there is...someone bullied you again? Who? Tell me and I swear I will...'' She pretends to choke the hair with both her hands. ''Ani again? Well f***, you are more complicated than a 5000 pieces puzzle, boy.'' She then sighs and clings to his arm. ''Yah, talk to me, I have to know what is wrong. It is my duty as your older sister to kick the asses of whoever makes you suffer?
Let me try again. For umma? She is fine, she will be home already tomorrow! Ani, hm?'' She takes a breath.
Yoshi leans his head against hers. ''Gomapda, Nori...''
''What for? I didn't solve a sh*t, you still sad.'' She sighs though and wraps an arm around his shoulders. ''There is nothing that we can't solve, whatever bothered you...'' She says with a strangely soft tone. She is worried to see him like that and wants to help him as much as possible, in fear he could attempt suicide again. ''You want to...talk about it, by any chance?''
''It will sound stupid to you...''
''Ani! I won't say anything or make sarcasm, I swear.''
Yoshi sighs and hugs her, leaning his head against her chest like a cub. ''It is for what you said too...but also because...'' He sobs. ''Noona, what do you do when someone likes you, but you don't like him back, in that sense..?''
She blinks at the question. ''Who dumped you?''
He shakes his head. ''It was me to refuse them...even if they were my friends...I fear things would have gone differently for them in a better, if I gave a different response.''
''You should have lied and said you liked them too? Bullsh*t, feelings are damn complicated and impossible to control. F*** off if they are hurt, I don't see why you should suffer for it. But who are they..?''
''Tero and Liang...''
''EH?!'' Her eyes widen in surprise. ''And they both...oh f***...'' She is very stunned. ''Well...what could you do, if you don't like them...there is someone else you lost your head for?''
Yoshi remains silent for a few moments. ''I don't know anymore...''

After splitting from Tero, he runs towards the Sun Quarters. His heart is beating like crazy, he is worried to death for XiYu, she didn't even answer him so he cannot exclude she was not dead and he always has to think the worst has happened, so.

He bows to the guards in front of the gate. "I need to meet Jeonha, something has happened that we absolutely have to fix." He doesn't say it outloud to anyone, not to create chaos.
He meanwhile writes to HyunKi too, hoping he is at the Palace. He nervously waits by the gate for the guards to go to call LianBi.

That weights in his room. After finding out XiYu is a girl... he doesn't know exactly what got into him. He started to look at himself on the mirror and take care a bit more of his looks.
He realized how skinny he was and just felt the need to improve a little, that's why he weightlifts secretly in his room. He still hasn't big results because he has been doing it for too little.

He weightlifts when Haru and Noriyori are not there, he doesn't want questions. After Nori noticed the weights though, she had to find out what he was doing with them, so she returns earlier than usual and bumbs in his room. "Daebak, you really..."
Yoshi's eyes widen and he drops the weights. "Noona?"
Nori bursts into laugh. "I can't believe it! You really... what is it, you got a girlfriend or you are trying to look attractive?"
Yoshi lowers his gaze and scratches his head. "Wnat is wrong if I train a little..." He sighs.
"Nothing. I am damn surprised though."
"I will stop here for today, I am tired..."
"Are you stopping because of me?" She raises an eyebrow.
Yoshi doesn't answer to the question, which means yes. "Mianhamnida, I will go out for a walk. I will be back for dinner."

Yoshi leaves the residence and begins to walk. He felt embarassed for how she laughed at him and right now, he feels even dumb about it.
He is just wandering around thoughtfully.

He went to see XiYu every day at the nursery these days, after taking care of his studies or his duty with the Emperor though.
This morning, after the meeting with the council, he heads to the nursery again. He stops by the garden nearby, noticing some nice, simple flowers.
He kneels and picks a few, intending to make something like this www.roleplay.me/photo/2259747.
