It is awkward situation. Bunny is still on Prince Seokjin/Jin's body. Their lips still are touching. In fact, Bunny feels like they are kissing. As it gets deeper anf deeper, and then they come back to their senses. Bunny tries to get up. Jin is still feeling numb. He says,
"I'm...I'm really sorry... this won't happen again."
"It's ok...", Bunny replies.
When Bunny tries to get up, she finds herself in a little dizzy state somehow and her leg a little hurt too. She remembers her aunts' words that it is needed to be played on guys. Really? But she is curious. She remembers the first day she lost consciousness. She wonder how will Jin react to it. She so acts more on her dizziness and it seems like she is going to lose consciousness again.
"Are you ok?", he asks. Then he picks her up and carries her in his arms to the royal house. Bunny is very happy she can feels his worldwide shoulder.
She hears him say again...
"Why are you so sensitive?"
She just smiles.
Bunny falls asleep for a long time. When, she wakes up, she thinks why is she this numb and happy about her first kiss? She thinks she must be in love and laugh at herself.
After that incident, Prince Jin's mind is quite unstable. In his own room, he is walking back and forth. He can't even describe what he is feeling at all. He also knows that he is kinds of smitten by her too. Is he really in love?
***************
What is happening to So Hyang and other all this time?
She has not had any chance to return his pen to him yet. She would look at it sometimes and her father also notices it.
She tells him about Bunny's fate, Prince Siwan and what she saw with him and his ex girlfriend. Her father shook his a little.
"Well, it will probably depends on the elders' decision. But I wonder how will the young people react to it."
"Hope, everything goes well, " he added a little later.
And he remembers Bunny who visited their house very often when she and his daughter were still studying as high school and university students. He remembers how much he was pleased with this little girls gentle nature, gentler than his own daughter. How everything go fine with this child?
********************
It is now near the King's birthday. It will be taken place at the royal palace very soon.
Bunny's parents visit her more frequently these days. Most of them are happy.
Prince Jin and Bunny a bit awkward when they meet and talk. He visits her sometimes in the garden when she would like to sit there or picking flowers. Within one of his visit, Bunny gives him a single red rose which is nearly blooming. He looks at her for awhile as asking what is the meaning.
She just says,
"It's for inspiration for your passion of music. Please take my gift!"
The prince is very shy although this is not the first time he ever received a rose from a lady.
He just takes and says,
"Thank you"..shyly.
Bunny thinks he really looks sweet and cute when his cheeks are in rosy color.
To that scene from the garden, the Queen witness everything from her room balcony above. Are these two in love?
She thinks back about her own love life. She thinks she does not even know what is it all. She was married to the king as her parents had wished. But she respect her husband and even let him have a mistress. She actually feels devasted about it but kept it all to herself because she knows from the start he doesn't love her since the beginning. Was she sad because she fell for him?Maybe. One sided love is painful she thinks. It must have been fate. She thinks her husband must have been lucky to find love at least once. His mistress chosed to live far from him for a reason. The Queen loves her son very much. All these 30 past years, she had perfectly worked as a queen, and the king respect her in many ways. After all, her son is a crown prince. And somehow she actually wish that both her son and Bunny either fall in love or find love. But it would break the late King wish. Many says it is not always right and happy just to marry for love. She thinks that statement is true too. She finally sigh and thinks that it is better to let the fate decide.
The King and Jin's mother, never intend to fall in love with a king. Ms Jiwon loved travelling so was the king. In fact he had fake his identity while traveling. She was in love with him before she knew who he was. Bit it was late she accepted to dive in relationship with him. But as she later regreted that she had eloped with another woman's husband. So she decided to stay away from him although she could never fall for another man again. Things like that can happen. But since they happened to have a son, she did take his support and let him visit their son as well as letting her son went and live with the royals sometimes too. Therefore, she had good terms with the royals. She has her own business in her life long career, designing clothing. It is going well. But as of now she misses her son so much.
Prince Siwan also is still living in living Korea and right now. His work is going back and forth. But now he is assigned to work more Korea. So Hyang visits the royal house often too.
She finally gives him back his pen on the one afternoon they meet near the museum again. Then she asks,
"Your highness, may I ask one question?"
"Yes, go on"...he answers.
"Do you still loves Ms Si Young?"
He looks at her for awhile.
Then answered,
"Well, I don't really have any choice for the matter yet"
Is that the answer? She thinks about it. Is that means he doesn't have choice to be with Ms Si Young.
But he doesn't say anything more.
*****************
That night, in his room at the royal house, Prince Siwan looks at the pen. Why is he thinking about this kid so often. Somehow, he feels something again in years. Apart from his family and duties, this he thinks about someone else especially a lady in this way since Si Young has left him. He had been avoiding any ladies and falling in love since. Si Young still has influence on him. She can still make him pity her. Even when the attraction is not the same as before, he could not really be sured of himself if he out of love with her. But what is his feelings for So Hyang? She visits his brain quite often. Whenever, he thinks about her, it is mixed with annoyance and good feelings. The mature Prince Siwan knows that this type of feelings is giving life. Prince Siwan then think of Bunny, whom he should have care more but he avoided her because he does not want to feel anything. Besides, he isn't able to be attracted to her like he does to So Hyang, too. But thinking of it, she is very charming woman who reminds him of his mother. Both his half brother and So Hyang admire her. So what if he try to get to know her.
