One day, when Shi-yeol catches her waiting impatiently for his visit, he tentatively leans in for a kiss, but she’s not quite ready yet. Since they’ve both led restricted lives, this is their chance to do all the things they never could. San may need a lot of watching over, especially given how reckless he can be, but Shi-yeol still finds time to take Hong-joo on little outings. Shi-yeol doesn’t like this order, either. If anything happens to him, Shi-yeol is to bring Dan-oh and the Ihwawon family here - and, if a choice must be made, Shi-yeol is to protect them and himself, not San. Not only does he express remorse for not recognizing him sooner, but he also frets over Shi-yeol’s safety almost as much as Shi-yeol does his.Īs San prepares to strike the king (alas, shooting an arrow through the king’s heart was only a fantasy), he shows Shi-yeol a safehouse he’s procured. Mild annoyance aside, though, San cares deeply for his Watchman. But on the upside, there’s no fear of the Watchman killing Dan-oh as a liability, considering he’s one of their biggest shippers. He’s also rather embarrassed to learn that Shi-yeol has overheard most of his exchanges with Dan-oh. Especially when Shi-yeol forgets (or pretends to forget) to reel the casual language back in once they’re alone. Though San makes a point of warning Shi-yeol not to let anyone know he’s the Watchman, he’s still the teeniest bit irked when Shi-yeol slips right back into the playful, teasing Shi-yeol everyone’s used to. In other words, if San fails or refuses to take the throne, Shi-yeol must continue to follow and protect him from the shadows for the rest of his life. The other important thing to know about the Watchman is that, barring death (presumably), only his master becoming king can release him from his duty. (Ah, so that explains why Shi-yeol’s teacher called him “Your Majesty” before!) Shi-yeol isn’t fond of being on the receiving end of this custom, and I’m not sure he approves of raising up new Watchmen generations in general, but he does what he can to encourage the young ones who are already training. They train from childhood at a mountain temple, and when two or more are permitted to go out in public together, one addresses the other as royalty - likely for practice, secrecy, or both. Now that we’ve identified our Watchman, we get a little more insight into how the Watchmen, as a faction, operate. Everyone wants to protect the ones they love, but the question is: can they do that without putting themselves in even more danger? In the wake of last week’s reveals, our characters navigate shifting relationships and ever-mounting political tension. 58 ApApThe Secret Romantic Guesthouse: Episodes 11-12 by mistyisles
