EXT. GARDEN – NIGHT
Gwi now sits on the small tree stump. He's shaking HR's shoulder, still with dried blood on his hand.
GWI
Hye-ryung-a, Hye-ryung-a wake up.
HR's been and still is crying. She begins to come out of it, but waking up is upsetting her all the more. HR realises Gwi's outer robe is covering her.
HYE-RYUNG
Sire, you must be cold. Please take your robe back.
GWI
I don't feel the cold. Keep it.
HYE-RYUNG
Thank you.
HR puts the robe around her. It's much too big on her. Her hair is hurting her so she untwists it, making a loose braid fall down her back. She wipes her face and changes her position to kneeling, very close to Gwi. Gwi pushes back some of the hair loose around her face.
GWI
You were crying. Was it that bad of a dream?
HYE-RYUNG
No, Your Majesty. It was a good dream. I will be fine in a moment.
Remembering both JS and her dream is too much for HR, but she tries to calm herself. She attempts to smile.
GWI
What did you dream?
HYE-RYUNG
(Lowers head, absolutely desperate, pulls at the arm hem of his robe)
Please don't ask me, sire. It is too humiliating tell you.
GWI
(still in his own despair)
Hye-ryung-a, you are the only thing distracting me from my thoughts right now. For my own sake, tell me your dream.
HYE-RYUNG
(completely embarrassed, quietly)
Nothing much happened. We were swimming in a lake together. The water was like crystal. And we were so happy.
GWI
Was this a sexual dream?
(simply asks, not even teasing her at this point)
HYE-RYUNG
(horrified)
No, Your Majesty! It was nothing like that.
GWI
But it was a romantic dream. We were doing more than just swimming together.
HYE-RYUNG
(humiliated)
Yes.
GWI
If we were so happy, why were you crying when you woke up?
HYE-RYUNG
(still dying inside)
I've never had a dream like this. I've never been so happy. And I could feel it slipping away from me. I didn't want it to end.
(moment of silence)
GWI
Hye-ryung-a.
HYE-RYUNG
Yes?
HR looks up at Gwi. He pushes the loose strands away from her face again, tips her chin and kisses her softly on the lips.
GWI
Thank you.
Gwi gets up and leaves the garden. Once he is gone, HR tears up again.
HYE-RYUNG
(whispers)
Oh Gwi.

FanfictionIt seems as though I wasn't the only viewer who wanted the writers to love Gwi as much as his hair, makeup, and costume teams clearly did. XD So just for fun, I started re-writing an almost completely different story - pure fluff - with a less tragi...
