1: My Love

Scarlet Hearts 

Chapter 1

"Like wind, like dust

I can't catch you, I can't see you.

Remember, love you.

I love you. 

I believed it was love, I called it destiny."

          (y/n) had stayed curled up in the silken sheets since they had returned from burying the 10th prince almost a month earlier. The poor woman had not spoken a word since he passed away in her arms. her whole heart was crushed.  Every moment that she had to spend without Eun felt like centuries. But life kept moving. Seasons would change, flowers would bloom and wilt away, her heart though would not be able to mend. 

          Jung had kept the promise that his brother asked of him on his death bed. He lived with (y/n), making sure she ate her meals and sometimes even getting her out of her bed to change the sheets and have her bathe. He too did not speak much anymore. He now felt guilt for loving (y/n). She loved Eun and Eun had loved her. There was no way that he could just stop loving her, but there was no way that he could allow himself. She was mourning. 

          Jung had managed to get (y/n) to go and sit outside finally after hours of coaxing her. now the two sat out under a tree in the yard of the quiet and empty home. (y/n) shut her eyes and let out a soft sigh. "My love.... How do you expect me to continue like this...?" She opened her dull orbs and looked up to the sky. She let a few tears slip down her cheeks. "We were supposed to grow old with each other...." Softly she started to cry as she began to remember the moments that they had shared.

          (y/n) opened her eyes and looked to her right. Next to her, Eun slept peacefully against her back.  He looked almost as if he were a small child happily enjoying slumber. She softly grinned and stroked hair out of his face, turning over to face him and wrapping her arms around him. The man shifted and let out a soft sound. He always looked so calm when he slept. Because he was calm. He felt at peace when he was able to dream next to his love. Slowly the man began to wake up, eyes fluttering open and groggily trying to focus on the face of his smiling wife. His hand went to her cheek, softly stroking it and giving her a gentle smile. "(y/n) good morning...." he yawned and let himself stretch out a bit more before snuggling against her. 

          The woman giggled and lightly kissed his noes. "Good morning. I was hoping you would wake up soon. I wanted to get up so I could go and bathe." she smiled and shifted around until she was sitting up. Eun smiled and watched her tiredly. He could spend hours just watching her do her business. All of her little mannerisms that made her unique always made his heart flutter. The way she would brush her hair, always starting with the left side and brushing each section 12 times. The way she hummed as she tended to her personal garden. It made him love her even more. It made her who she was. Who she was... She was.... broken.

          (y/n) opened her eyes, feeling wet tears streaming down her cheeks, she frowned immediately. That was a time that was passed... Eun was gone. He wasn't there to sleep next to... He couldn't make her tears of sadness turn into tears of laughter. He could no longer help her.... She shut her eyes and let out a soft sob. "My love.... My... My Eun...." she put her hands to her face, starting to cry into them harshly. She was sure that her heart would never be complete. She knew the truth about her life. Eun was her life, and without him; she had no reason to live.
