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

Deok ah, are you avoiding me?

(Morning, Soondeok rose early as usual and rode out of the city, to the tree she's always been to. The ride didn't cheer her up like she had hoped. Exhausted, she sat under the tree, thinking by herself. She touches her lips with her fingers, wondering if the prince's kisses really did happen the night before, all it was all but a dream, a very nice dream.)

'What's gotten into him? Why's he suddenly...so nice to me? Why all of a sudden...it's like my dream has come true...Why?'

(The horse neighs)

'Ya, what are you neighing for? I should be the one sighing now girl.'

(The horse continues munching on the grass)

'You're lucky you don't have to worry about your husband you know. You don't have to worry about him liking another horse...you should be grateful, you know that?'

'Soondeok ah!!!!'

'Guess I am getting crazy. Now I can even hear the prince calling my name...I must be having hallucinations...'

'PARK SOONDEOK!!!!!!!!! SOONDEOK AH!!!!!!!!'

(Soondeok turns around and sure enough, from afar, she can see Eun riding towards her, calling her name, she's not crazy after all.)

-------------------------------------------

'Ya! Soondeok ah, I thought I told you we'd ride here together! Why did you dump me all alone at home?'

'Your...your highness...how did you manage to find me here?'

'This is your favourite spot, you think I wouldn't know? How can you enjoy the morning ride all by yourself? What about me? And what if you faint or something? What if your heart fails all of a sudden? Who will take care of you then, huh?'

'Your highness...how...how did you know about my heart's problem? I...'

'You fool, don't you ever do that again, understand? You got me worried sick!'

'I...I'm sorry...it won't happen again.'

(Soondeok turns around to leave, Eun steps in front of her. She turns the other way, Eun gets in her way again.)

'Deok ah, why are you avoiding me?'

'I'm not, your highness...'

(Soondeok keeps her head down, dodging Eun's eyes)

'Oh yes I think you are. Ya, Park Soondeok, I thought you said you like me.'

'I do! I mean...I...I do like you, your highness but...'

'But?'

'But you're acting so strange lately. First the hug, then those sweet words, then the...the...k...anyway, you don't have to do this you know...like what you've said on our first night, you'll keep living the way you did and so will I...'
