Chapter 11: The Hot Spring
The north spring lay behind Jae-ryeong's father's wing, in a cleft of black rock, and only the lord was allowed to bathe there.
Nobody had told Seol that.
Jae-ryeong told him once they were both in the water.
"That's absurd," Seol said, sunk to his chin in steam. "You let a poison master into the lord's private spring."
"I let you into everything. I'm getting used to it."
It was the second night after the rain.
The envoy's deadline hung over them, and Pil-gu's guards still watched the gates.
But up here, in the hot dark, under a sky of cold stars, nobody could see them.
Do-yun had stationed himself at the head of the path with a flask of wine and an air of great dignity.
Jae-ryeong had drunk the cup an hour earlier, on the stone ledge, with the needles in his back.
His chest was clear.
Seol's face was flushed pink with the heat.
He had taken off the gloves and lay with his arms stretched along the rock.
Jae-ryeong watched the lamplight run over the long white lines of his body.
The wound on Seol's shoulder had closed to a thin pink seam.
Jae-ryeong's bite was almost gone.
He wanted it back.
"Tell me about the village," Jae-ryeong said.
