Chapter 17 - Drunk Again

Chapter 15:

The next morning, the sun rose from the east. Eun Won was snuggling closer into her warm covers. She was dreaming about her childhood. She was woken up by Na-Ri. "Mistress, it is time to wake up." She opened her eyes, adjusting them to the light of the sun coming from her window. She stretched her body and went to the bathroom. She took a warm bath and got dressed in a light peach dress with the help of Na-Ri. She put her hair in a braid.

The door of her room opened, and in came a servant from the kitchen. She put the container with food inside on the table and packed out the dishes. Then she went back to the kitchen. Eun Won and Na-Ri started eating their food, enjoying it. "Let's go on a walk," said Eun Won. "Yes, mistress," said Na-Ri. When they were done eating their food, they stood up and walked out the door.

As they started their journey, Eun Won wondered if she would meet Yu-Jun, Mo Yi Huai, or Jiwoo again. She was in thought that she walked into a tall firm figure. "Ouch, who dare walk into me," she said. "I dare," said a voice. As she looked up a face she recognised instantly, "Mo Yi Huai, what are you doing here?" she thought. "I'm taking a walk," he said, answering her as if he could hear what she was thinking. "How are you?" asked Eun Won. "I'm good and you?" asked Mo Yi Huai. "Same," said Eun Won. "What job do you do? asked Eun Won. Mo Yi Huai didn't want to tell her that he was the Emperor's personal guard and said, "I'm a guard for the royal family." said Mo Yi Huai. "How long have you been working for the royal family? " asked Eun Won. "Ten years," said Mo Yi Huai. "How old are you?" asked Mo Yi Huai. "I'm seventeen years old and you?" asked Eun Won. "I'm eighteen years old," said Mo Yi Huai. "What do you like to do in your free time?" asked Eun Won. "I like to take walks, and you? asked Mo YiHuai, "I like to expand my knowledge and take walks." said Eun Won. 

As time passed by, they didn't notice that it was already evening. They said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways. Eun Won went back to her room, and Mo Yi Huai went back to the emperor.

Mo Yi Huai's point of view:

I went back to the emperor's chambers. Arriving at the emperor's chambers, he knocked on the door and went in. "Where have you been, Mo Yi Huai? I have been looking for you everywhere?" said a voice that he knew as the emperor himself. I knew I was in trouble when he used my full name. "I was taking a walk, and I met someone," said Mo Yi Huai. "You took a walk when I needed you here and who was so important that you spent your time with," said Yu-Jun sarcastically. "I met the look-alike Eun Won,"said Mo Yi Huai. "You met her without my permission," said Yu-Jun. "What did you talk about?" asked Yu-Jun."This and that nothing important, " said Mo Yi Huai. "You will receive punishment for disobeying my order," said Yu-Jun.

Mo Yi Huai's point of view stops.

Arriving at her room, Eun Won ate some food prepared by the kitchen and took a long nap. When she woke up it was already night and she took a bath. Smiling, she remembered that she hid four bottles of 'Smile Drunk' underneath one of the floorboards. She had decided that today was the day that she was going to get drunk again. She took the bottle out of the place where it was hidden and took a seat at the table. She opened one of the bottles and started drinking. When it came to the second one, she became tipsy. The third and fourth one she took in and walked outside.

She walked over to a ladder that was standing next to the wall. She started climbing it with two bottles of 'Smile Drunk' in her hand. She took a place on the tiles of the roof. As she drank the third bottle, she became drunk, but that didn't stop her from enjoying the beautiful night air. With the fourth bottle in hand, standing up, she started singing her heart out and about how she felt. She was sad that Yu-Jun didn't recognize her. She wanted to tell him that she was the real Eun Won and that Kim Mi-Ri was the fake one. She wanted to tell him that she was poisoned when she first got into the palace. She wanted justice. She was also glad that she met Kim Na-Ri, Mo Yi Huai, and Jiwoo because they kept her from going off the rails. She wanted to live and be happy, and she found it with them, but it still felt strange without Yu-Jun by her side.

"Mistress, what are you doing up there?" said a voice she knew very well, and it was Na-Ri. "I'm enjoying the view, darling, no need to worry." said Eun Won. "But your drunk mistress. Please come down before you get injured." said Na-Ri.

Emperor Yu-Jun's point of view:

I was enjoying my sleep when a sudden voice woke me up. "Emperor the look-alike Eun Won is on the roof drunk. She doesn't want to come down." said Jiwoo. "She is doing what?" I said. I couldn't believe my hears. Sy was disobeying me again.

Yu-Jun's point of view stops.

"You better get your butt down from the rooftop," said Yu-Jun. "No, I want to stay here," said Eun Won. "If you don't get down from there, I will come up and help you down, and you will get punished," said Yu-Jun. "Fine, will you catch me?" said Eun Won. "Yes, just come down from the rooftop, please." said Yu-Jun.
