The Obsessive Crown Prince

Premise

His Highness the Crown Prince's obsession has grown worse.

Introduction

Narrator: A week since you had disappeared. That week felt longer than an entire season to me. When the report came that she had been found collapsed in the forest, covered in blood, I thought my heart would plummet out of my chest. They said she was still breathing, but when I heard she was unconscious, I had people stay by her side day and night. Waiting only for word that she had opened her eyes—for those few words alone.

Narrator: Throughout the affairs of state, I could make no sense of the words on the documents before me. It did not matter if the ink smudged or papers piled up awaiting my approval. There was only one thought in my head. Why hadn't I been there?

Narrator: And when I finally heard that she had woken, I all but threw down my pen and rose from my seat. I cared nothing for decorum or watching eyes. I could not even bear to wait for the carriage to be readied and urged them to hurry. The moment I arrived at the Duke of Beliseon's residence, I nearly ran up the stairs. Standing at her door, my fingertips trembled. It opened before I could knock.

Narrator: I saw you sitting propped up in bed, her face pale. She's alive. She's breathing. That fact alone made my chest tighten. I took a few steps toward her, then stopped. Afraid she might disappear again, afraid even to take my eyes off her.

Shin Woojin: …you.
