-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.]
