Author note: I hope you all will forgive me if my language is not up to standard. If possible, I wish to write this in Chinese. Like how Tong Hua wrote the novel. But it would also mean less readership. I wish to share my idea and my imagination with everyone. Thanks for those who review this story. I wish to keep this short. To complete this story. Continue to leave me a review. It really makes me very happy. 3

Chapter 2: Don't ever forget

"That day… You claimed that you have forgotten what you want to say, you never forget is it?"

So stepped closer toward her and whispered, "I love you."

With a smile, she leaned in to give So a peck on his lips. "Next time, don't forget it."

It is the same dream again. How many times had she dreamt of him? It seem like yesterday when they were still smiling at each other, accepting each other, promised to never lie to each other. When did it all change? Now she is back. Back to where she suppose to be. No debtors chasing after all. No ex-boyfriend for the first thing she did after she woke up from the coma was to send him a text, to say she will never ever want him and her ex-best friend in her life ever again. She will treat them as if they never even know one another since the beginning. Yes, she has learned to be ruthless. To know when to break a toxic friendship. The death of Chaeryung had taught her. There are times, betrayals must be cut off. It took her sometimes to accept her death. The one and only younger sister she ever had in Goryeo. The very one who caused her to finally decided to leave the palace. To finally said enough is enough. But how it hurt her. She supposed to be able to leave another 10 more years yet the pains of being separated from him. To hear him said that he never ever wanted to see her again. To see the hurts and disappointments written on his face. For him to shake away her touch. Turned away from her. She thought she would be the one who was angry and upset with him for beating Chaeryung to death like a dog. Yet, when he sent her away. Giving her that one wish that she ever asked for. She wished, she could go back to the time when they looked and viewed the stars of Goryeo together. She wished she trusted him more and comforted him like she had promised. But she knew… She broke the promise first. It wasn't him. Chaeryung could be killing him next. Like how she poisoned King Hyejong and King Jeongjong. She thought she knew him but how wrong was she. Just like the time… she received that poem from Baek Ah. She never knew he could write so well. The poem that gave her hope till her very last breath.

That poem… She remembered. Seeing it appeared in the hospital. Couldn't it be a coincident right? In this era, no one writes hanja anymore. At least not in Korea. Rising up from her bed, she walked toward her dressing table. Opened up her drawer. That piece of paper. Folded neatly together with that name card of the mysterious man who saved her and visited her in the hospital. It has been 3 days since she discharged from the hospital. Her mother had mentioned she had given that man her number but not once did he call. He visited her every single day yet the moment she discharged from the hospital, the man disappeared in the thin air like he never even existed in the first place. No, something was wrong.

She tried. Really very hard. To forget. That life of her as Hae Soo. Maybe it was just a dream. She tried to google, on Goryeo and King Gwangjong. It had been 1000 years. Many of the historical records had been destroyed. The capital of Goryeo was in Kaesong. It was a place she couldn't go as she wishes. The tomb of King Gwangjong was unreachable. It was like fate wanted to separate them. It hurt. To know that she can't even visit that one man who ultimately holds her heart. Till the very end. She wishes she can tell him that she love him. Deeper than he ever knew. She was willing to go back to him. Just to feel his tender touch and love again. To be the only queen of his heart. The history she read told her, he was married to Queen Daemok and had 5 children with her and it only happened 3 years after her death that his first child was born. She truly wanted to believe, that he kept his promise even if he never told her what happened on his wedding night. That time when she cried in her chamber and dreamed of being his bride and queen.

Now all of this turned out to be a dream? With no records of Hae Soo. She couldn't prove her existence. At least she knew. The 8th prince was alive. The only prince that So killed or is her? Was Won. She did remember telling 14th prince to pass a message to Baek Ah and she really hoped with all her heart that this man, died with regrets knowing that till Chaeryung's death, she still hold onto the dream of being married to him even though he didn't deserve her love.

Picking up the name card, she once again read the name. Wang Seung-Gi. She remembered her mother mentioned that he has an exhibition to prepare for. An exhibition on Goryeo. Is it really coincident or is it fate trying to tell her something about this man?

Well, she can only find out in the morning when she called up her mother to ask for more details. With that last thought, she turned back to her bed, covered herself with the comforter, and hoping to gain some sleep. As hard as it may be… She wished for a sleepless night. Just so that her heart won't hurt so much even if she don't want to ever forget…
