The Peasants Prince [discontinued]

21. Numb

Gunhak knocked on the door.

"Come in!" His mothers muffled voice said.

Inside his mother's room, things were as neat and prim as ever. She sat on her seat staring out the window.

"My son," She said, lifting her hand and waving him over, "I'm so glad you've finally found a wife."

She smiled, making her eyes wrinkle at the sides. 

"My son," she said again, "You've done a good ting for the nation."

Gunhak looked down. His shoulders moved up and down in silent laughter.

"I'm doing a good thing for the nation." He said, lifting his head to face his mother, his eyes blank and 

Queen Chun Hei frowned. "He's practically on his death bed. He was my father's adviser too."

"He's been an adviser under two rulers, who barely lived till 40!" Gunhak shouted.

"But it doesn't matter." He said with an indifferent shrug, "As long as I have a wife the kingdom will be happy."

He bowed and turned to leave.

"Gunhak." His mother said, but he didn't turn around to look at her.

"Gunhak, I'm sorry." She said, and even though Gunhak couldn't see her face he knew she was telling the truth.

"I know Mother." Gunhak said, "But don't apologize to me..."

He paused before closing the door. "Apologise to the girl who had to break her own and my own heart. She is the one who's been a true victim."

"Who?" The queen started to say, before the door was slammed onto her.

Gunhak walked through the corridors, he just walked and walked. Taking one step in front of another. Not even caring where he was going. He just walked and walked.

Walked and walked until his feet went numb. And then his legs.

He crumpled to the ground. But he didn't feel anything.

He was practically lifeless. Lying in a heap of swirling emotions.

So why did he feel so numb?

Gunhak stared blankly at the wall as he slowly and helplessly fell into a deep sleep.
