Much I

Son Dahee

Zzzt....

I hear that in my mind. I tried to lift my heavy eyelids but it's heavier than usual. My head feel a slight pain.

"Look... Her highness is awake"  I heard a female voice. Suddwnly I feel like I'm being stared. "Your Highness please try to open your eyes slowly" our butler said. As been told, I opened it and saw Mr. Song and a few other maids. "Your highness please have some soup before taking your meds" a maid named Lilac placed the bowl in front of me. " Thanks Lilac" I smiled weakly.

"All of you please give the queen some space to rest" a familiar male voice is heard. All of the others make way for Hwan Woong to walk. After he sat beside me the others leave and shut the door. He make himself comfortable before facing me.

His expression....

So gentle, so warm...like a fluffy blanket that cuddles your body during a cold winter.

His hand strands my hair to the back of my ears taking a good view of my face. His thumb lightly runs across my bottom lip. His lips slowly curve into a small yet warm smile. His eyes locked on mine, gazing me deeply. Only then I realised his eyes changed colour.

" How are you feeling?" he asked. There's a sound of concern in his tone.

"I'm... Okay" I felt a difficulty to breathe properly. His presence. The warm and tender side of him. It leaves me breathless.

His hand holding my jaw and he leans near me and place a soft peck on my forehead. He gaze me again before taking away the bowl and spoon from my hold. He lightly stirs the soup and give it a blow before feeding me.

" Mmmm... Does it taste good?" he hums. Still with the tender tone. I just nodded. He's being too affectionate. It feels good but uncomfortable at the same time. He keep feeding me until the bowl is empty. I didn't resist though.

He placed the bowl beside the night lamp. He turn to face me. A cheeky cute smile is plastered on his face. " Are you tired? Do you need more rest?" he ask while adjusting the pillow behind me. I just shake my head, not facing him. He took my hand in his. " What's wrong?" He lean a bit to the side trying to make me look at him.

"Why are you like this?" I asked him. He bite his bottom lip. "Like what?" he try to hide his nervousness by being cheeky. "I'm serious Woong ah! What's wrong with you? Why are you treating me like this?" I hold his shoulder and gave him a light shake as if I'm trying to wake him up from a daydream.

"I... I want to love you" he looked into my eyes. I can't keep myself focus. I can't fight his eyes, it's dominating. "Please let me love you. I want to be your world. I want to be in three quarters part of your heart. I want you to crave for my love and my touch everytime I'm away" his tone is deep yet so soft and silky.

"Why so sudden?! Are you okay?! What's wrong?" his words gave me an utter shock. His finger twirl the end of my hair.  "I don't want to frighten you so I'll tell it to you when the right day comes" He said. I looked at him, confused. His eyes brimming with tears as if the thing that lies in his head is so painful.

He took a deep breath to pull himself together. "For now please be a real wife to me. A real lover" he palm my cheek before giving a peck on the tip of my nose.

Suddenly someone gave a knock at the door. "My king, Young king Renjun wants to see you" Lilac said. Hwan Woong pulled the open . "Where is he?" he asked Lilac. "His Highness is at the fountain" she gave him a bow as a sign of respect.

"Thanks for the info Lilac. You must have lots of work to do. I'll tell Mr. Song to escort him to the study" He pat her shoulder before leaving.

Hwan Woong

"Renjunie why do you want to see me huh? Miss me already?" I pat his shoulder from the back. He got startled a bit and I chuckled.

"Aniyo...I just came to check out on you and Xion's sis" He said while flipping the hourglass over. "Want to know something about the hourglass?" He make his way to face the window and took a deep breath. I stand beside him facing the opposite way. "Ok tell me" I make a glance at him.

"After the sand stop,once you turn it over you'll have to leave everything in the past and start fresh" He smiled softly.

" What do you mean?" I scratch the back of my neck. "I mean....You have to stop being emotional about the past and think more of what's ahead of you. The past is past so learn from it. Worry about what's happening now.  You don't want the past to come and get you all over again...right?"

"I don't understand" I do.

He just pat my shoulder. He walks out of the study. I think his going to see Dahee. I took a deep breath and try to digest all the words.

You don't want the past to come and get you all over again...right?
