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

He's gone

(Silence again)

'Honey?'

(Eun slowly gets up, steadying himself a bit before standing up – dizziness hits him as he sits up after laying down all day)

'Deok ah. You...oh. I see you're asleep...'

(Soondeok's fallen asleep on the desk, her head resting on her arms, pressing down on the book she's been reading. Eun walks up to her and pats her on the shoulder to wake her up.)

'Darling, it's late, let's sleep, you can keep sleeping in bed, okay?'

'Mmm...'

'Good girl, you can stand up can't you?'

'Mmm...your...highness...'

'Aigoo...I'll carry you then, come on up girl.'

(Eun pulls her up gently and tries to get her on his back)

'My heart...'

'Deok ah, what's wrong?'

'I...my heart hurts...'

'It hurts? Oh dear, hold on.'

(Eun quickly brings her to their bed)

'Deok ah, you stay here, I'll get the doctor.'

'It's not that...I...'

'What's wrong?'

'I feel like...it's tearing up inside...I hate this feeling, Oppa. I feel like something bad is going to happen soon.'

'Nonsense. Nothing will happen. I'll get your doctor, okay?'

'Oppa.'

'Yes?'

'I...I love you...'

(Eun kisses her on the forehead)

'I love you too, I'll be right back.'

(Eun waiting outside the physician's house)

'Your highness! What brings you here in the middle of the night?'

'It's my wife. She said her heart's hurting.'

'Oh dear, I'll get my stuff ready at once! Wait...that shouldn't happen.'

'What do you mean?'

'Your wife's heart...your wife's heart shouldn't be hurting.'

'Why not? I'm not quite getting what you're saying, doctor.'

'Last time I went to see the lady, she's fine, cured to be exact. Ever since she got hit by the arrow, her heart problem disappeared as well...I've been her doctor since she was born, I know the change in her pulse.'
