Side Story : Pumpkin's Letters
The Mute QueenThis is a oneshot of Kyuminseo's past. The real next chapter is on process
Gyeongbok Palace, before Kyuhyun became the King
The Prince’s face flushed slightly pink putting some papers in a tiny wooden box. He read them again. The ones he collected from his only pen pal a year ago, Pumpkin. It’s a bit sad that they stopped being a penpal since the pumpkin’s identity had been revealed to be a young courtlady named Seohyun. He finally knew her in person. His curiosity about the girl whom a bit childish, and selfish, yet surprisingly sweet and smart only by reading the way her words compiled through her letters now finally fulfilled. But somehow he missed those times when they didn’t know each other’s real identity. Seohyun must be felt guilty that she wrote those letters with such words toward a royal family. She became more shy after that. She even rejected to be called pumpkin again. It's embarassing she said. “They’re cute though” Kyuhyun chuckled as he read some of them.
Kyuhyun smiled looking at the letter. ‘I will take his pain so he can lead this country well’. It’s the first time he felt touched by someone whom he had not met yet. At first he thought the Pumpkin would be an ambitious courtlady who purposely flirted with him and aimed to be his queen. But after reading her letter, he could see sincerity in her words. Day by day after that, he became more curious about her and really wanted to meet her in person. That’s why, after he placed his recent letter, he purposely hid behind the promise tree for hours, the place where they put their letters.
To : Pumpkin
Firstly please forgive me for my previous harsh comment
You know it’s a joke, right?
Take the emperor’s pain is not an easy job.
You maybe hurt too, Pumpkin.
His first try was fail but he never gave up. He kept waiting everyday to know the real Pumpkin. On the 13th day, he became worried why she hadn’t answer his letter like usual. So he wrote another letter :
To : Pumpkin
Are you alright? I am worried.
Please answer me that you’re okay.
If you have any problem, I can help you
I want to see you
He came back to the place again the day after. That was his last try to hope. He was frustrated. This endless longing, he didn’t like it at all. He also had his own stress as the new Crown Prince of Jonseong. If she didn’t come this time, he would give up and back to study for preparing to be a new King.
But his frustration for waiting the pumpkin finally ended as he caught a young courtlady carefully came to the tree and put something in the hole. He knew the girl. She’s the daughter of Courtlady Ok, his mother’s assistant. He never put any interest toward a courtlady before because he knew he had to marry a woman from a noble family.
But now, it’s different. He knew behind her greedy dream, she had a good heart.
His pumpkin girl.
