Wooyoung PV

"Don't pretend not to remember!"
Hea tells me, almost furious.
"I assure you that the last thing I remember is having seen you and Seonghwa, going to my room and drinking."
I admit, trying to remember the other, but after a few glasses I have a blackout.
"Well, then I remind you that yesterday you entered my room and tried to get between my legs! Have I been clear enough?!"
I am shocked by her statement; I can't believe I could have done such a thing.
"I would never get to that-"
"And how do you think you did that to your lips?"
She stops my excuses, pointing to my still swollen lip ..I thought I had a fight in the inn.
I look into her eyes and see her anger, but the thing that makes me suffer, is her disgust for me.
Until I reach her neck, and notice red marks hidden by her long hair.
I really got to touch her without her consent, I'm not worthy of being called a man.
"I- i'm sorry"
Nothing else comes out of my lips, and Hea goes away without another word; and I don't stop her, full of shame for what I came to do.

Hea PV

"Good morning lady"
I greet the countess as soon as I enter her room; finding her as usual already dressed and sitting, ready to be combed by me.

While brushing her white hair, my thoughts return to Wooyoung, and to his confused look, that I still can't decide if it was sincere or not.
I hear again the least sentence I expected to hear coming from his lips, at least from those of the Wooyoung that i have known these last days;  That 'I'm sorry' so sudden and seemingly sincere, still resonates in my mind, and brings me to the desire to want to go to him and clarify this situation.

"Dear, are you listening to me?!"
I hear the countess say, and I return to the real world.
"Forgive me lady, I got distracted. What were you talking about?"
"Yeosang's wedding organization. In a few days the bride will come to the estate with her family, I'm so happy it will be held here! Finally a bit of a party atmosphere."
Lady Jung says with a big smile on her face; but after the ball, I don't like the idea of ​​many people in the estate.
"You could do it yourself and Seonghwa here ... it would make me so happy"
She continue, leaving me surprised that she is aware of my future marriage.
"How do you-"
"The voices run fast my darling. However I am very happy for you, you are a beautiful couple"
She says interrupting me, leaving me stunned and unable to respond.

"Have you already chosen a date?"
She asks me when I'm finishing weaving her hair.
"As soon as possible"
I answer, thinking of my goal to keep the Earl away from me.
"If it's here, you could do it the week after Yeosang's.."
Speaking of a date makes me anxious, I know it has to be soon, but setting a specific day would make everything more real ... and I don't feel ready yet.
