SPOILER ALERT

For the first two pages, Chae-kyung is in the hospital practicing walking, again with the aid of two banister rails (set up just for this purpose). She fakes out her parents by wobbling and semi-toppling — only to catch herself firmly on the rails again (with her hands). Her parents laugh. Scene switch.

One of the king’s men tells him that the accident is suspicious and is being investigated and mechanics are looking at it and that there seemed to have been mechanical tampering. King’s like, so someone was targeting [Chae-kyung]? The guy’s like, no, it seems she was trying to borrow a citizen’s car but that didn’t work out so she ended up borrowing the prince’s. So, it seems the prince was being targeted. The king’s a bit shocked. And wondering who could have done it. Scene switch.

Yul is walking. Apparently the king has called for him and Yul is wondering why. He wonders if the king has discovered his mother was connected to the accident. He spies a big tub of water in the courtyard. He thinks of the tale of the fire demon who saw his reflection and ran away. He wonders what he’ll see in his reflection. He looks into the water. He’s thinking how he is the one whose brought matters to this point. He is shocked. Next to his reflection in the water is the reflection of a shriveled old man — the old court guy who’s often in comedic sequences in Goong. Yul tells him it’ll be the last day they meet and other stuff and so another comedic sequence ensues balbhablh. Scene switch.

Shin is walking with a hoodie on (hood up) in the hospital. He’s thinking how he thought he could be resolute, brush it off, and get back up, again. (Close-up to his wide-open eyes). “But I was scared.” (Eyes are squeezed tightly shut now.) “I was scared to death.” His hand is on the door. “Of living a completely different life from what I had been living until now. The feeling of fear from having the goal in my life, which had been far too clear, evaporating all of a sudden. However.” He opens the door. His eye looks like “!”  He finishes his thought, “If one thing is to come up top…” He sees Chae-kyung. She waves.  He’s half-yelling at her for calling him here when he can be discovered and if her mother finds out… Chae-kyung says her mom’s gone for the moment since her aunt (her mom’s sister) was sick and her father’s gone to work and Chae-joon’s around somewhere but balbhlbh. She says that when she gets to leave the hospital tomorrow, meeting up would get even more difficult so she called him out to meet up just once. He says but why in such a place where there are so many people. She says she can’t help it since she’s hungry and the guards all followed. He sees the guards (in suits with black sunglasses on). She tells him to sit. He’s thinking about her. She’s eating. balbhalh. He says about her proposal/suggestion (not the marriage proposal type of proposal) from before, it seems he’s open to the suggestion now. She’s like, open? whatever now! it’s no longer valid!  She says why’d you bring up something from before with such a … he tells her, “Well, you see, I’m not sure if I’ll need to go out of the palace and live. If a good house in your neighborhood is available, could you let me know? From now on, I want/intend to live by your side–” End of chapter.
