The way she observed Yeom Hwa was different than when she was observing Ma Jung Soo.Īfter I finished my bath, I went downstairs to the restaurant to have a meal. No, something about her was different than before. Was she was here to observe Yeom Hwa? Was it like that time with Ma Jung Soo? I remembered her smile as I answered yes. I also remembered the last thing she said to me, “Is it really true that the lotus flower blooms in a muddy pond?” Although it had been a while she didn’t seem to have changed. I recalled the scene when I saw Number Seven. Sinking into the hot water, it felt as if all my sleepiness and weariness were melting away. After I got back to the inn, I soaked myself in hot water.
