It Doesn't Matter Who I Am (Hwarang: Han Sung x Reader x Ji Dwi)

~Chapter 16~ Promises

"Han Sung, where'd you go?" I ask as I run around the corner, seeing him watch Dog Bird and Ah Ro. "Why are you-" I start off then he shushes me.

"Listen." He whispers.

"If you die, then so do I. If you're not okay, then I'm not okay either. No matter what situation arises, I will always put you first. So if you really want to help me, think about yourself first." Dog Bird says then I make a disgusted has he holds out his pinky. "Promise me."

Ah Ro then willingly wraps her pinky around his then I gag from the sight then look back.

"You're a good girl. You are." Dog Bird tells her then I feel my whole body shrivel up.

"But you don't seem like such a kind brother." Ah Ro mentions then my jaw drops.

"You're right. I'm not kind." He agrees then I watch them walk away in disgust.

"What are you doing, kids?" Yeo-Wool asks as he walks over and wraps his arm around Han Sung's shoulder.

"Those two aren't siblings anymore, right?" Han Sung asks then he looks at me. "They're still your siblings, right?" He asks me.

"What are you talking about?" Yeo-Wool questions then Han Sung chews on his lip as he observes them. "He's like that because he learned how to treat a sister from Soo Ho. But they're not siblings." Yeo-Wool explains then my eyes widen.

"Wait, if Seon Woo is the King, they're not siblings." Han Sung figures out then I look at them in surprise.

"Is that how it works?"

"Then what are those two?" Han Sung asks as he raises an eyebrow at them.

"Since when the hell did you get smart?!" I ask him then he looks at me.

"Are they your siblings?" Yeo-Wool asks me.

"Seon Woo isn't my brother, but Ah Ro and I are sisters." I answer.

"But you two look nothing alike." Han Sung mentions then I look at him. "Everything about you two is different." Han Sung adds then I raise an eyebrow at him as I cross my arms.

"Like what?" I question.

"Your hair color, your skin color because you're tanner, the way you two dress, your height, your facial features, your eyes are the only thing that are alike." He lists then his eyes widen. "oh, yeah! Even your body shape and br-" he starts off then my eyes widen.

I quickly smack his cheek and Yeo-Wool looks at us in shock as Han Sung frowns at me with his hand on his cheek.

"Yah, that hurt!" He exclaims then I scoff as I turn away from him.

"And here I thought you were smart." I comment as I walk away from them.

"What's up with her?" Yeo-Wool asks Han Sung.

"Still being stuck up about South Buyeo, I'm guessing." He answers then I look back at them over my shoulder.

"I heard you!"

Whispers went around the classroom as everyone continues to glance at me while Ji Dwi stayed quiet and had his head down, still somewhat upset of what I said, then once Wi Hwa walked up onto the small stage, the room silenced.

"The subject you are learning about today is the Book of Odes. The Book of Odes is the songs of the people which have been passed down by word of mouth from a long time ago. Inside are the lamentations of the people's difficult lives yet positive images." He explains then takes a deep breath. "In addition, there is also resentment and pity for the powerless King." He says then I glance at Ji Dwi. "Today, I am going to show you a poem. The title is 'Large Rat'." He introduces then pulls down a scroll. "Ji Dwi, try reading it." He demands then Ji Dwi stands up.
