- Higher Than Sahng-jeh-nim
- 1 One day, Sahng-jeh-nim said to Ho-yun, “Now you have become higher than Me, haven’t you?”
- 2 “How have I become higher than You?” Ho-yun asked with wide eyes.
“You have become higher,” Sahng-jeh-nim simply replied.
- 3 Ho-yun’s curiosity grew. “Why have I become higher?”
“I . . . . No, I won’t say.”
- 4 Even more curious, Ho-yun asked sweetly, “Please, tell me why it is so.”
- 5 “Hyung-yul’s daughter has been betrothed to Me, and so you will be My mother-in-law.”
- 6 Ho-yun kept asking, but Sahng-jeh-nim did not say anything more.
