Goong chapter 164 (궁 제164회) appeared in the October 15, 2010 issue of Wink Magazine. If you don’t want to know, don’t read.

SPOILER ALERT

Shin talks a bit. He asks Yul for one favor: to take care of his mother and younger siblings (forever more). Yul bows his head in acknowledgement. Shin says he’ll be leaving now since all the other palace people (I hate all these formal royal terms) are coming by soon. Yul agrees and says he’ll be going now, too. Yul has turned around to go but Shin says, “Wait a second. Do you perhaps know of a [gourmet restaurant/good place to eat/etc] around the area of Angook city.” He says he’s asking since Yul had spent time outside the palace. Yul asks why. Shin says now that he’s free, he was thinking he’d like to try a date at such a place. Yul plays dumb and says, “Date..? With whom?” And then pretends he doesn’t know of any. Shin’s like ah well guess I’ll have to look it up on the internet. Yul’s thinking, “You should have just done that in the first place! You were just trying to provoke me!” Yul’s thinking of all the effort he put into researching dozens and dozens and hundreds of places on the Internet to take Chae-kyung to to enjoy eating … to the point where his attendants thought he had gone off the deep end/gone crazy. At the end he compiled a list of the top 100 places to go with her. And he’s day-dreaming of the dates he dreamed of going on with Chae-kyung (to wine and dine). His daydream is broken by the old court attendant guy who has his own top 20 list of places to go to together with Yul. Yul hangs him from a tree instead (comic moment).

Scene switch. Shin’s mother is protesting to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother tells her to stop it. And she says that they need to bring [Chae-kyung] back. Shin’s mother is like “but…” and the queen mother tells her that she should know all too well that Shin needs Chae-kyung and Chae-kyung perhaps likewise needs Shin. (Titles used and not their names) And that Chae-kyung had suffered after having being plucked away, being forced in the palace for a short time, then being kicked back out — Chae-kyung’s parents for sure have no desire to let their daughter get involved with anything royal, again. So the queen mother tells Shin’s mother that the two of them should throw away their pride and even get on their knees. And that the one who should take responsibility is not the prince (Shin) but the adults (themselves).

Scene switch. The saboteur’s father (the one who was driving the car) is being taken away by authorities. The son’s upset that this is his fault.

Scene switch. Chae-kyung’s walking with crutches at school and greeting all these people at school. Chae-kyung says she told her parents not to come for her since she’s not in elementary school anymore and to just send a car to pick her up. She notices a crowd around a crazy-nice car. And wonders what’s going on. Shin’s trying to be dressed to not be noticed and has a baseball cap on and is waiting just outside the school’s brick wall (that makes up the perimeter) since he’s waiting for her to come out. He has bought one of the best mont blanc cakes in the area or something. He spies her coming out. But then, they both see something and are like “!!” Because what they see are Shin’s mother and the queen mother dressed in modern suits greeting Chae-kyung and congratulating her on being able to leave the hospital. End of chapter.
