"That woman is planning to kill mother!" Seol said and Jun So's expression changed.

"...What..?"

"She Is Going To Kill Mother and Little Sister and She Won't Stop Until Mother and Little Sister are Dead!"

Seol stared at Jun So, her eyes showed how desperate she was. "Father, please believe me!"

Jun So stared at his daughter for a while. His mind was trying to asses the situation logically but none of it made sense to what he was experiencing at the moment. His daughter, she was wearing Goryeo robe, appeared in his dream, That meant only one thing.

"..Seol.." Jun So spoke, "..Are you a ghost..?"

Silence fell and soon followed by a burst of laughter coming from Seol. She laughed so much that it made Jun So annoyed at his own daughter. A scowl appeared on his face as he stared at her.

"You laugh too much" he said in annoyance.

"I am so sorry, Father. But your words really caught me off guard" She said between her laughter. Finally after quite a moment, Seol finally regained her composure.

"I am not a ghost" Seol started explaining, "More like a guardian spirit. I refused to be reborn so I can protect you, mother and little sister."

"I see" Jun So replied, nodding his head to show how he understood her explanation.

Seol tilted her head slightly, her eyes twinkled mischievously "Why? Don't tell me you are afraid of ghost ~" She said. "The great King of Goryeo, Gwanjong is afraid of ghost. You will be a laughing stock, you know~"

Jun So rolled his eyes upon hearing his daughter's mischievous taunt. Like mother, like daughter. At time like this, Seol resembled the Old Hae Soo so much. Tomboyish, Rebellious, Sly and Full of Mischief.

"Who said anything about that?" Jun So raised his eyebrow, the arrogance of Gwanjong could be seen on his face before Seol giggled softly. A soft smile appeared on his face as he lifted his hand to touch Seol's face.

"I missed you, I am sure your mother missed you too" Jun So said. "..Because of my arrogance.. I lost so much, She lost so much, You lost so much.. We lost so much.."

"Forgive me" Jun So said.

Seol touched her father's hand, a smile, filled with longing, sadness and sincerity, could be seen on her face. "It's okay Father.. Sometimes tragic fate can lead us to better future. I couldn't call you father back then, couldn't even get closer to you, but now.. I can"

"Wait.. you said something about 'Little Sister'.." Jun So said, "you mean.."

Giggling, Seol nodded "Yes. The baby is a girl."

Jun So scoffed in disbelief, happiness could be seen on his face. "Impossible, is this for real?"

Seol nodded excitedly. Jun So laughed and embraced Seol once again, moving side to side for a little bit. "Oh God! Wait till your mother hear this! She will be surprised!"

"um.. Father..?" Seol calling out to him from inside his embrace, somehow her tone filled with guilt. "..Mother already knew about it.."

Jun So stopped moving, slowly his hands dropped to his sides, releasing Seol from his embrace. Seol stared at Jun So guiltily, especially when disbelief expression appeared on her father's face.

"Say that again?"

Seol bit her lower lip awkwardly before repeating the words once again "umm.. Mother already knew about it..?" she ended the sentence with a question tone.

Jun So took a deep breath before releasing it slowly, Annoyance was clearly seen on his face. "What is it with Ha Jin and secrets? How can she keep this away from me? It seems you and your mother share the same trait, turning important things into secrets. This is not fair" Jun So said sulkily.

"I am sorry, Father" Seol said in amusement tone.

"You don't look like you're sorry" Jun So said in annoyance. "Seriously, I am surrounded by women who can pass the test as secret agents" He grumbled in soft voice and making Seol giggled even more.

"So that means you have visited her too, right?" Jun So interrogated his own daughter.

"Yes, twice. First when Mother nearly lost her life and second before the party. The reason why mother dropped the glass from that woman is because she was trying to kill little sister"

Jun So closed his eyes, "So that's why.." he muttered softly, "..I have done something terrible to your mother.."

A gasp could be heard and when Jun So opened his eyes, Seol's body was fading slowly. "Seol!"

"Looks like my time is up, Father please take care of mother and little sister! That woman will do anything to kill both of them!" Said Seol before fading completely.

The moment Jun So opened his eyes, it was the next day. The light that had engulfed him inside the dream probably due to sunlight that pierced through the window. Remembering Seol's warning about Min Jee, Jun So wanted to leave the hospital as soon as possible but the doctor forbid him to do so. Thus he had to stay another day before he could go home.

The next day.. Andong, North Gyongsang Province..

Ha Jin was walking on the small path of Hahoe Village, staring at the rice fields that spread wide on each sides of her. The clear air, the soft wind breeze, the scenery, all of it brought peace to her mind. Especially when it kept thinking of a certain man.

Her mother was wise to bring her to this village. It was beautiful and breath taking, the things that could not be seen in the city. Her feet brought her to a river, where she always spent her time every day. Maybe because every time she spent her time near that river, she remembered how she used to wait for a certain prince to return. Two years she had waited while kept writing those sad poem the prince gave her.

She also remembered the arguments, their banters, their so called 'date', the kisses and many other things they did together.

"and here I am.. waiting for him again.." Ha Jin said with a sad smile on her face. "..I wonder what should I do if he doesn't return to me again.."

"Should I disappear from his sight once and for all?" Ha Jin asked, rubbing the bulge on her belly. Her pregnancy had reached six months old now and how she wished that Jun So was here with her. He had lost the time when she was pregnant back then and she promised him that he won't miss it again this time.

"What do you think, baby?" asked Ha Jin. However her heart stopped beating when she heard a voice spoke to her.

"Then I will search for you.." The voice that spoke to her was not from her imagination. It was too lucid for an imagination. Turning around, Ha Jin found Jun So standing slightly far from where she was standing.

Just a mere sight of him could make her heart beating again. Yes.. only just a mere sight of him, Ha Jin could feel her body shivers, longing for the warmth that only he could provide.

"..Jun So.."

"I dared you to try running away from me, didn't I?" Jun So took one step forward while giving that charming smile.

"You found me because Min Jung told you, didn't he?" Accused Ha Jin.

"I would have found you even without his help. You know that" Jun So replied and he was wrong about it, Ha Jin admitted inside.

"I told you that you can't leave me" Jun So kept walking closer and stopped so close in front of Ha Jin.

"I won't let you go either. You have to be mine, You can't go anywhere. I will never allow you to leave me" Jun So stared straight to her eyes.

Desire, longing and more importantly.. Love, could be seen clearly in the depth of his eyes. No more confusion and doubts fogging those strong looking eyes of his. Ha Jin could feel tears swelling on the corner of her eyes. She could feel his hand on her cheek, caressing it softly and for the love of God.. How she missed his touch.

"..You are.. My Queen.." Whispered Jun So, "No women can replace you and no women will be able to.."

A sob broke from her lips as she heard Jun So's last whispered before crushing his lips on hers.

"..My One and Only Queen.."

The moment Jun So's lips touched hers, Ha Jin surrendered herself to him. No need for persuasion, her lips parted willingly for him, accepting his tongue that entered and danced with hers.

Oh God.. She missed him so much. Ha Jin never realized how huge her longing was until she felt his touch. Both of them glued to each other, kissing passionately like there was no tomorrow. She bloomed within his embrace, like a flower that bloomed happily under the sun, She bloomed due to his love, his caresses, his kisses, his touch.

"Ha Jin.." Jun So whispered her name as soon as he broke the kiss only to continue it again. His thirst for her could not be quenched, it kept growing rapidly. All he wanted was her, yes.. She was all that he needed.

Finally... His Queen returned to his embrace... He would not let her go ever again.. The One and Only Queen of His Heart.. By His Side, She Would Always Stay...
