Thoughts on Stories #2

-Wedding Night-

They walk together towards his quarters after the wedding, almost reaching the door with maids and guards behind them.

 

Guard:  Your Highness!  [CP and P stops and turns around, the guard bows.]

CP:  What?

Guard:  Lady Kim is extremely sick!  

CP:  What?! [shocked] Where is she?  Take me to her.

Princess:  [holds him back]  Your Highness…  

CP:  I’ll be back, I promise…  I’ll be back… [holds her hand for clarity before pushing away her hand and runs away.]

 

She holds back her tears and stares at the door in front of her.  She’s been standing there for a long time.

 

Maid:  Your Highness, you should go inside.

Princess:  I’m not entering without the Prince.  [Maid sighs and backs away]

Jongin:  Hye Jung-ah…  [she turns around]

Princess:  Orabeoni…  (brother)

Jongin:  What are you doing out here?

Princess:  [she looks away and towards the ground]  He said he’ll come back…  

Jongin:  He’s with her right now…  She’s throwing up and has a fever…  

Princess:  [Tries her hardest to hold in her tears]

Jongin:  Please go inside…  Or else you’ll get sick too…  [her lips tremble]

Princess:  Orabeoni…  

Jongin:  It’s okay…  I’ll walk you to the door and let you in…  I won’t step in because this is your wedding night…  

Princess:  [nods] Mm. [He grabs her hand and walks her towards the door, the maids open the door for her and he lets her in, then letting go.  Facing each other with a door between them.  He smiles.]

Jongin:  You’ll accomplish many things…  You’ll be a great Queen…  You’ll win his heart one day, just be patient.  [she nods and he smiles.  The maids close the door and when the door closes, tears come out from her eyes.]
