Jang Ok-Jeong


The door files open His Majesty stands in the doorway 

I stand quickly

His Majesty runs to me embracing me tightly


"Yi Sun" I whisper

We stand there alone 

He starts to sob, his cries filling the room


"What is wrong?" I ask 

His Majesty takes a step back

"The Queen Mother is ill," He says


I dry his tears  gently as he gasps for air

"What do I do Ok-Jeong?" He asks

"Come here, into my arms and let me relieve some of this pain off your heart" I whisper to him


I take his hand and guide him to the bed

I lay down and he lies beside me caressing him until he falls asleep
