Peony POV

} I was still half unconscious when I heard people talk in my room. They said something about Lord Kim and how he acts differently? I think I missed some of the context because it didn't make any sense at all.

I tried to move a bit because my back is aching from all the sleeping. I opened my eyes and I saw I was in a different room then I was staying when I first arrived here. I could finally take a good look at the very expensive looking things, that were all over the place.

I tried to push myself up in the bed, so I could sit straight. But while doing so I got a huge headache. Then someone opened the bedroom door and stepped in, not knowing that I was awake. He closed the door without looking at me yet and then finally turned around.

Namjoon
Oh good you are awake Lady Peony. Are you uncomfortable anywhere?

Peony
No thank you for saving me doctor... how long have I been sleeping?

Namjoon
You don't have to thank me, it is my duty to save you. Also no need for formalities, just call me Namjoon. You have been asleep for around 2 days. Your energy was seriously damaged by the poison of the soil and because of the fever you had when you came here, which only worsened when you ran away.

Peony
Sorry doct-  uh Namjoon, I hope I didn't give you a difficult time?

Namjoon
You don't have to worry about that, most of the poison was removed by yourself. I only cleaned the wounds and put herbs on it.

Peony
When can I get out of this bed? And whose room is this?

NamjoonFor the time being, you have to be in bed for at least another 4 days

For the time being, you have to be in bed for at least another 4 days. Oh this is the bedroom of mr Kim.

Peony
Oh is it okay for to be here then?

Namjoon
He placed you on this bed himself so I think it's alright. Now if you'll excuse me I have some business to attend to. I will leave you some servants, so if you need anything you can ask them.

} He carried me to his bed? Why would he do that, he doesn't even know me?

WAIT A MINUTE
If I'm in his bed where does he sleep? Does he sleep next to me? Or in another room? I hope he's sleeping in another room! Why would an unwed couple sleep in the same bedroom? That's not how it's supposed to be. Why am I getting so worked up over this? Is it getting warmer in this room or what?

Peony
Hello?! Is there someone?

Maid (Anna)
Your highness what can I do for you?

Peony
Oh could you maybe help me take a bath? I don't smell very nice. ~ I chuckled

Maid Anna
I don't know, I didn't hear anything from the doctor about taking a bath...
