The more Wol struggled to push him away, the more he pushed her shoulders harder.
Hwon touched her whole face, from her forehead to her nose and mouth.He said: "So you're not a ghost and i thought i was having an illusion when i saw you that day."
It was very dark in the room, late in the night, so he ordered the palace maids to bring him candles, but he still felt it was too dark, as it could not satisfy his thoughts of missing her all these while.He ordered them to bring all the candles in the palace to him.As wol tried to struggle our of his grip, the more hwon pushes her shoulders down with more strength.
"I thought our fate has ended, but i still can see the image of mine in your eyes."
Poor woon sees all these, and turns to a darker side of the room to avoid seeing what's happening.
Soon the room was filled with candles, lighting up the room. The more the room got brighter, the more wol tried to move.As she moves her back from the floor, Hwon's arm moves more to hug her.He uses his other arm to cover her cheeks to block others from seeing her face.Wol pushes hard to get Hwon's body away from hers, but as she does so, he leg his a candlestick.
"Don't move. Do you want the candle to fall down, and end up donating the kind of Joseon to the fire devil?"(as in making him die due to the fire)
Wol moves her head to see the position of the candle stick, however Hwon blocks her view.
As she couldn't be sure of the position of the candle, she couldn't move under that situation, because she was worried that it would cause a fire. She therefore stayed there,being hugged by Hwon for a long while, with her face on his white silk robe.
In this cold night, wol felt as if she was smelling the fragrant of Chrysanthemum that felt like the sun.Hwon, on the other hand, felt as if he was smelling the fragrant of orchid, which was like the moon.
Hwon gently moves his lips to the side of her ears, where he smelt the nice fragrance of orchid. The light breeze of wind, as well as the little whisper of Hwon's entered her ears.
"I am Lee Hwon, who are you?"
Wol eyes went pass Hwon's shoulders and looked up at the ceiling, the ceiling started shaking in her eyes... Her lips started to move, as if she wanted to speak, but hesitated...She bit her lips, and finally talked.I am wol, I am the wol you gave a name to.
It was wol voice, the voice he heard back then, the voice he couldn't forget. As if he cannot use anymore force anymore, he uses his arms to hold her even harder.
"Yes, its you, from now, i will not recognise you wrongly as someone else anymore.
Hwon could feel the fast thumping of her heart, even though she looks calm on the outside, wol's heart has never beat as fast as this moment before.
"Were you shocked? Did i make you shocked? But i did not have a choice. If i did not as if i was sleeping, you would have fooled me again, so i had to bluff you, anyway, you bluffed me didn't you. If i make you stay here, will you still leave me?"
Wol moves her hand to Hwon's shoulders to actually push him away, but ends up holding it.
Hwon looks down to see Wol, the feeling of him being able to hold her again was incredible.
"Wol ah... wol ah"
"Yes"
"Wol, have you even once thought of me? Did you miss me?"
Wol eyes was feeled with sorrow. She did not know how to reply Hwon as only 2 months had passed.
She did not reply but said in her heart. "Days of tears, merged into a flowing river, that became a sea."
Hwon continued: "No matter how much i tried to forget wol, i could not. Was it not like that for you?"
Wol could not even nod her head. She was afraid that her eyes would tell him her answer, so she avoided meeting his eyes. Once more, she could only answer in her heart. "How much ive missed you, i cannot express it, how much ive missed you, is longer than the yellow river, deeper than the ocean. How can i even express it"
"You insolent shaman. I only looked at you for a short moment, but why do i see your image every time i close or open my eyes. Why do you make me feel so exhausted. You definitely casted a spell on me, tell me, what spell did you cast?"
Wol, with her heart beating fast, takes another look at Hwon, seeing his gentle smile.
Hwon:"How about you explain to me why my heart has become like this."
Hwon hugged her tight again, with his lips at her ears again saying:"Is it because of how you smell? Because of the orchird fragrance that affected my heart from a long time ago? or is because of the moon light that comes from you, that keeps shining?"
"The moonlight is being insolent. Cheonha, your illness is too serious."
"Are you saying that i'm getting a wrong impression? Wol, please don't say it like that."
Hwon loosens his grips, because he was too happy seeing wol, he forgot all his doubts.
"But how come you are here? This is the palace, why are you here?"
Wol did not answer and lowers her head. The 3 men in charge rushes over and kneels down outside the room. Because the room is filled with too many candles, they could not come close, and could only sit outside. Hwon widens his eyes and looks and wol, and then the professors. No matter how he thought, he could not understand.
"What is happening!? Someone give me an explaination."
One of the professors replied as he kneeled.
"She is a shaman."
"I know, i am asking why is she here."
"This shaman is supposed to absorb all the bad air and symptoms of illness away from you and therefore has been looking after you by your side for a month. But today is the last day already, so please do not be angry"
"What are you saying?! Absorb?!"
Hwon did not understand what the professor was saying. Because his mind was blank, he could not think of anything.But slowly, Hwon started to understand. The more he understood, the more his breathing gets heavier. He uses his hands to touch his chest. The pain at the chest was hard to bear. His emotional pain was a thousand times more painful than his physical pain. Hwon, panting hard, said:"Then, this shaman will replace me.. replace me..."
Hwon could not finish his sentence. The sadness and anger that was coming from his heart... They were worried that the King would once again faint, and wanted to come closer, but because of the candles, they could not. He grieved. Woon was still sitting quietly in a corner, not moving at all.
Wol, with her back facing Hwon by his side, looks down on the floor.
"What are you all doing!? You cannot even prevent the murderous air from reaching me, and still use this girl here to be my shield.... And even dare to conceal this from me.... You even dare!"
He wasn't actually angry with them. He was just finding an excuse to vent the anger from his heart. He was only angry because Wol has been sitting by his side everyday throught the whole month, and he did not have any clue about it.
"This can't be prevented.. Because we did not know where your illness is coming from and what it is. Early in the morning tomorrow, the shaman will be sent out of the palace, so..."
"Sent away!? Where?"
"To somewhere where the fengshui is good, instead of being by your side. Because we've found a place with good fengshui, so we will send her there so that you won't need to see her again."
"Shut up. What exactly are you saying now!"
Because Hwon was angry, he started having headaches. To think that once this night is over, Wol will vanish from his side, and replace him taking all his bad air and illness, his headache got worse. He turns to see the frail body of Wol by his side, and was so afraid she will vanish, so he quickly hugged her back tightly.
The professors, who were outside, are oblivious to the whole situation. Hwon bit his teeth and said:"I'm still in pain! My body has not recovered at all, so you cannot send her out of the palace, you have to keep her by my side!"
"You need not worry. By protecting you at the place with good fengshui, it will still be as good."
"I SAID TO KEEP HER BY MY SIDE. Are my words not words to you?!"
"But.. But... we can't leave the shaman by your side."
"Then why you could before today? When i did not know, you can, and when i know, you cannot?!"
One of the professors by the professor (who was always answering) finally opened his mouth.
"Cheonha, i am insolent... I know i should not do this, but i would like to tell you that this girl is a shaman."
"Which Shaman house is she from? I want to remove her name from there."
The professor replies that a shaman's name cannot be removed from the registry, and you cannot hug her, please swear that you won't.
Hwon cannot take what the professors have said... Cannot hug wol.. And cannot remove her name from the registry.... So hwon decided to ignore what they have said...
"Now, everyone leave. Now!" Hwon orders..
Under the orders of the king, no one moved.
"I called you all to leave, do you not understand my words?!"
The science professor says:" Tonight will be the day the Prince will be made. It hasn't passed the time yet, so we cannot leave."
"Go down and leave. HS what are you doing? Close the door and go!"
"Cheonha, i'm sorry, even if you dismiss me, i cannot leave."
Hs shouts to everyone around:"People, open the door!"
Under his command, all the doors started to open, hwon realises that the servants and maids outside are more than normal. Everyone was against Hwon hugging Wol. Hwon was angry.
"Aren’t you all scared of losing your lives?! You think i won't get rid of your lives?"
No one listened to Hwon, and hwon could not hug Wol in front of all of them.
"Take away all the candles, the light is too bright for my eyes."
The palace maids start to get rid of the candle light, and the room was finally left with with only the moon's light. Even in that darkness, they all did not leave.
"How? Wol, what should i do? Wol, can you feel the state i am in? Will you blame me?"
"No, i do not have that kind of thoughts... but..."
"Are you in pain in place of me?"
"No, i am in no pain at all."
"Thank you, thank you for being healthy."
Hwon's bleak mood was even more than Wol's happiness. Hwon leaned on Wol's shoulders but because he was sorry, he did not hug her.
Woon on the other hand, was in pain.He did not want to admit that his pain was because of jealousy.
Woon turned his head to not see them, but then saw his sword, the sword used to protect the king. He sees the cloud sculpture on the sword, and has a heavy feeling within him.
