HIM

Chapter 11

Hwan recovers quickly, thanks to the rest he has had, and perhaps the attention he has received from Minho also helped. When he and Minho returned to continue shooting, most of the background scenes had already been completed during their absence; all that remained were scenes with the main two actors.

"No, Hwan-sshi, we're not going to let you do that scene again. This time, your stunt double will take care of that for you." Both Director Choi and Oh disagree with Hwan when he says he would retake the action scene they were unable to finish before he was injured.

Hwan sighs, but accepts their decision. He knew the crew would not risk another accident. And it's been only a few days since he healed.

King Lee Gon isn't sure what he felt when he saw his husband's hat and bow on the cliff edge; his heart thumps erratically as if he's going insane; he's not sure if it's because he's worried about his husband or because he's terrified of Emperor Xuan's wrath. The King orders his men to scour the entire mountain for his husband. If he is successful in evading the assailants. While he travels down the river with his commander and a few men to search.

The river is so vast and deep. Then they can see a huge stone here and there. King Lee Gon and his commander travel through the only path available to access the river bank. But they can only see the cliff from afar. His men are already searching through the river.

"Here! I found the Commander!" A servant's yell filled the air, and others rushed to where it came from.

Ho-Pil knelt by the unconscious figure and checks his pulse with his two fingers on his neck. The pulse is a little lower, but he'll make it. His fellow commander has been seriously hurt. He has a few cuts on his body, and his hand is twisted in an unpleasant position, possibly broken.

"Take him to the physician!" Ho-Pil stated as he stood. The unconscious commander was carried by a group of servants.

"The search continues! His majesty may be in this location!" Ho-pil yells to the remaining men. They resume their search.

Lee Hong Nae runs back to the shore crying 'cold' as soon as the director calls 'cut.' Minho chuckles, finding it amusing that his co-actor dislikes the cool river water.

Hwan emerges from the tent beside the river, trailed by a few stylists. He appears to be thrilled for someone who is about to act out an injured situation. His clothes and hair were a little out of place. Perhaps they did it on purpose.

Director Choi instructed Hwan to take a dip in the river so that he would not be shocked by the cold when he began his scene. That was hurriedly done by the younger. Hwan dashes to the chilly water, dipping his bare feet first to feel the water. Then he takes a handful of water and drapes it over his heart. Minho observes his lover shivering slightly before stepping into the deep.

After rehearsing for the next scene, in which Hwan had to wait in the water, the director gave the 'action' signal.
