Diary Entry - Eundeok Married Life (Baekhera) [COMPLETED]

Escaping

Eun's diary

What to do what to do what to do??? Heck, I'm on the brink of a mental breakdown now! Not because there's a girl in my room, and most certainly am not because I want to sleep with her, but the fact that if I don't by tonight, she'll have to marry my grandpa tomorrow! And Soondeok, Park Soondeok, my wife, has left me to deal with all these problems alone! Where is she when I needed her the most? Where oh where is she? If only she's here, she would know what to do! Where in the world is she???

The only thing that brightens up my day now is that the old lady is up and well now. She can talk, yes she can talk, and she can walk too! It's a miracle! She thanked me over and over again for my hospitality, I'm glad that Soondeok did save her in the first place. I asked her for her opinion on the matter, but she could give no advice to me – she said she was not in the position to give me one anyway. She told me to ask Mi-ah, who equally has no idea on what to do next.

Mi-ah is doing fine, she's finally gaining some weight, after much effort. She was very skinny when I first saw her, it's obvious that her mother's been treating her badly while spoiling her brother. I hate it, I hate it when parents treat their children like that, it's not like their children asked to be born into their family! Why are they doing that to their own kids? Why?

'Your Highness.'

(Eun opens his eyes which closed naturally from his deep thoughts, only then did he realize that he's been sitting at the desk for an hour, troubled.)

'Hmm? Oh, Mi-ah, what is it?'

'I've brought you some tea...I was aware that you didn't notice the maid coming in...'

'Thanks.'

'You don't look so well, your highness...is there something wrong?'

'Um...no, it's just that...'

(Trying to hide his uneasiness, Eun gulps down the tea then forces a smile on his face)

'Nothing's wrong, I'm just thinking, that's all.'

(Mi-ah looks down in silence then finally says)

'Your highness, you don't have to worry about me. I'm ready for it.'

'M...Mi-ah...'

'I know you've been concerned about me, ever since I came here, I know you've been trying to find a way to help me escape...your highness has been treating me well like your very own sister, I can see that, your highness. It's just that...I don't want you to be stressed out because of me, because of someone as...as unworthy as I am.'

'Don't say that, Mi-ah. I'll get you out of here, I promise. Somehow...'

'You've already done what you can, your highness. I've prepared myself for anything that might happen to me...come to think of it, marrying your grandpa may not be too bad...'
