Damned idiots.

In the evening, she leaves the Imperial Palace as she finishes to work. Very casually, she comes across Liang about to get back in.
''Liang! Shiix Xu, where have you been?'' She bows her head and smiles.
He blinks at the question. ''From my abeoji, I thought I told you...''
''Ye, but...'' She starts to feel stunned, thinking about Yunho and the many times she came across him these days. ''Who is he, then?'' Her eyes widen. ''I thought he was behaving in a too strange way to be you!''
''What are you talking about?'' Liang looks at her, clearly confused.
She keeps pondering about it. ''Liang, I-...'' She gets interrupted by the sudden arrival of Jingyi, that grabs her wrist, maybe too roughly.
''Let's go and talk.'' Jingyi says and tries to walk away, not even wanting to look at Liang or letting them finish the conversation. He is not in the best mood because as expected, he got angry during the conversation with BangSul and Noriyori.
Liang frowns though and stops him, even if Mun didn't complain. ''Will you leave her?'' He gave him a too bad impression to just let Jingyi go.
Mun is surprised by Jingyi's arrival and lets him pull her. Jingyi stops but doesn't leave her wrist, only turns around and looks at Liang threateningly. ''Why should I? She is my person.''
''Change method. She will follow you alone, if she wants to.'' Liang narrows his eyes.
Jingyi leaves her wrist, only because he thinks he will have to punch Liang. ''Don't give me lessons. Instead, stay away from her. She is with me, do you get it?''
''Jingyi, calm down a second...'' She tries to cling to his arm but he pushes Liang.
Never. Attack. Liang. He doesn't even step back and answers with a strong - more than he actually wanted - punch in the belly, then walks away.
''Jingyi!'' She says as he gets punched and approaches.
It caused him to fall back, he places his hand where he got the hit and after snapping out of stun, he lets out a loud groan.
She tries to take a look, worried. ''Let me see! Oh, ani...'' She tries to raise his shirt but he steps back.
''It's ok...''
She places a hand on his arm. ''Let me see.'' She repeats and this time, she uses her power and he obeys. She sees a huge bruise where Liang hit him, it really has a bad shape. ''You have to see a doctor...''
He is confused by what happens, how he had to do what she said, but for now doesn't think about it. ''It was just a punch. Ah...'' He keeps groaning a little, it still hurts. ''Let's go home.'' He walks but rather slowly.
She supports him, wrapping both her arms around his waist. ''You don't ever have to anger Liang...''
''I saw...'' He mutters.
''For real. He is...unstable...'' She sighs, looking down.

She leads him home and also accompanies him to the bedroom. He lies down but takes her hand. ''It is still early. Can we talk? Are you really going to present him to your abeoji? Wasn't he gay? And are you angry at me? Why?''
Mun places her free hand on her forehead, to hold it. ''All the nonsense they wrote you, I'm so sorry...'' She sits down, sighing. ''Mianhe, Noriyori and BangSul had fun over it. But of course I'm angry, you let JaeMin insult me.'' She glances at his belly, that she uncovers. ''Do you have some ice to put on it..?''
''Mianhe, you're so smart and cool...and ye, if they prepared it...check in the kitchen.'' He remains lied down and lets her take care of him.
