Recap:

"Why?" He trailed off. "Because it is dark in here It is secluded... and it is a good place to sleep in,"He said while putting his arms on both sides of my body, trapping me in. My palms were getting sweaty. 'What's going to happen to me?'  Suddenly, he grabbed me by the waist, pulled me closer, and asks... 

"What happens next?"

|| Seo-Yeon's POV ||

"How could you want to sleep with all that ruckus outside?" I asked confused. 'So he barges in here, frightens me to death, and all he wanted is to fall asleep to one of my stories? Weird.' "Besides I don't believe that listening to my stories will help you fall asleep," I said a bit offended, "It would wake you up instead." I turned towards the door ready to leave but then he abruptly puts his arm in front of me and corners me once again. 

"With that ruckus outside, would anyone remember that you are in here? They would not know even if you died in here." 'Is he purposely trying to scare me?'

"Are you threatening me now? That's not very nice of you," I scoffed, starting to get annoyed at the way he's treating me.

He pull his arm back to his side. "Where will you earn your pay today?"

"Heh, you must not know that I already have enough money-" I was interrupted when he tosses me a pouch. I rattled the bag, wanting to know what is inside. Clank! Clank!  "Is it silver?"

"But what about your friend? Isn't she in debt?" I hesitated, looking at the bag intensely as I contemplate on what I should do. 'He has a point... but is it worth it?' "Oh well, if you're not interested then... forget about it," he muttered under his breath while trying to retrieve his pouch back. I stopped him before he could.

"Fine," I said begrudgingly, "I'll do it... for Ah-Ro. But it is only until you fall asleep." I said sternly.

"That is what I want."

"On a dark night when the clouds covered the moon, the man headed in secret toward the house of the maiden he missed so dearly," Seo-Yeon began her story. "However, he could not show his face. He snuck into the maiden's room... like a thief in the night."

"The darkness surrounded him, but it gave him comfort. After passing several rooms, the man was finally able to sense... the maiden's scent. He calmed his pounding heart... and opened the door. Before his eyes was the maiden he dreamed of... standing there, smiling at him."

"Why have you come here?" While Seo-Yeon is telling her story, JInheung has dozed off. And in his sleep, he has dreamt of entering his throne room to find his mother sitting on his throne, and as she angrily asks why he's here, he reverts to his young self, crying.

"Please... don't yell at Jinheung, mother."  

Jinheung woke up startled only to find the room empty. 'She left? Huh, whats that?' He seemed to have found a note, on it 'You fell asleep' was written on it. He let out a breathy chuckle as he shakes his head.

|| Seo-Yeon's POV ||

'Thank the Gods, he fell asleep quickly.' I slowly got up carefully so he wouldn't wake up. I got out of the room and shut the door quietly. 

"Oh! Excuse me, Miss Ji-Yeong," I turned my head around to face the maiden who was speaking towards me. "You left this a couple days back in our storage room." She showed me a small little chest of which I immediately recognized. It was filled with some basic medical tools such as bandages, ointments, and some medicinal herbs. "Here you go," she handed me my item.
