Yeon Joo should have been satisfied after cleaning the infected wound on Lee Hyeom's thigh and wrapping it properly with fresh cloth, especially when Min-ah had already started gathering the remaining supplies while Seon Jeo stood several steps away looking increasingly impatient to leave. Unfortunately, the moment Lee Hyeom adjusted his clothing and pushed himself up from the wooden bench, Yeon Joo noticed another reddish-brown stain much higher across the back of his inner robe.
She immediately caught the fabric before he could walk away. "Lee Hyeom, stop moving for a moment because there is dried blood here too, and please do not tell me it came from the wound on your thigh. Unless your blood somehow learned how to travel upward while you were sleeping, you have another injury you conveniently forgot to mention."
