Episode 20
Meisha
ughn... mm.. hn... no...
Meisha
Don't, don't come closer!!!
3 AM, dawn. Meisha is in the library. Some shadowy figure seems to be chasing her.
Meisha
It's dark... where did it go... I can't see properly.
All of a sudden. A dark hand comes from behind and chokes her.
Meisha
Aahh... nnooo... hhellppp... mmeee...
Suddenly, she hears a familiar voice.
Prince Hikaru
Meisha? Meiii....!!!! MEISHA!!!
Meisha
H.. Hik..a..aru..u.. iis. that.. y.. uo?
Prince Hikaru
GET UP MEISHA!
She wakes up from the nightmare.
Prince Hikaru
Meisha??! Were you having a bad dream?
Meisha
D.. dream? Oh right...
She looks around and sees that she's in her room.
But she was feeling strange... Her neck was hurting.
Meisha
ahnn... Hikaru? Please turn ON the lights.
Hikaru turns ON the lights. Then proceeds to sit beside her.. but then he sees that....there are red marks around her neck, as if someone was trying to choke her.
Meisha
Hikaru... my throat is hurting.
Prince Hikaru
Mei!!! There are marks on your neck.
She goes in front of the mirror to check.
At that moment, she shivers like crazy.
Prince Hikaru
Mei?!! Mei??!! What happened?!! Come here!!!
He brings her on the bed and covers her with blanket.
Prince Hikaru
Mei calm down, wait... here.. drink water.
After she has calm down, Hikaru questions her.
Prince Hikaru
Mei.. those marks... how..
Meisha
Hikaru... I was having a nightmare.. and..
Meisha tells about her nightmare.
Prince Hikaru
... but.. who's that possible.. Meisha... I'm sorry..
Meisha
Why are you sorry? It's not your fault.
Prince Hikaru
Know it's because of my curiosity.. because I took you to the library. I'm extremely sorry.
He looks down in shame and guilt.
Meisha
Hikaru... don't be. I'm okay. Please be okay?
Meisha
I'm tired. I'm gonna sleep. You better take rest too.
Prince Hikaru
No, we can't leave your wounds untreated. Let me bring something.
Meisha
No, no need. I can't be alone here.
Prince Hikaru
Oh right.. fine. Tomorrow morning?
***Guys they're not sleeping together. Hikaru is sleeping on the sofa, Mei on her bed***
Meisha
Thanks for the breakfast Sayori.
Prince Hikaru
mhmm.. it's delicious
Maid Sayori
Thank you, I'm honored.
Prince Souta
Can you both stop being noisy?
Meisha
(ignoring, loudly) Hikaru, should we go somewhere today?
Prince Hikaru
(ignoring,loudly) Wow, my sweetheart is asking me for a date, how can I not agree?
Meisha
Alright then. It's decided.
Prince Souta
You both, stop ignoring me!
Meisha
(Whispering) Why is he here today?
Prince Hikaru
(Whispering) I've no idea.
Prince Souta
What are guys saying about me???!!
Prince Souta
...... these guys!!!
Meisha
Hikaru... about the library ghost..
Prince Hikaru
Don't worry dear, I'll ask around.
Meisha
I'll try to gather some information too.
Prince Hikaru
Hm.. how about I ask those girls...
Usually Hikaru never visits the library and this section of the palace. From childhood he has hated studying and academics.
Girl 1: Ahh!!! Prince Hikaru??!!
Prince Hikaru
I just wanted to ask something. So do you girls visit the library?
Girl 2: Yes, your highness we do.
Girl 1: Yes yes yes!!! I love it!!!
Prince Hikaru
Uhn.. so can you tell me why is it so empty nowadays?
Girl 1: Not nowadays, it's always this empty after 4 PM in the evening. No one dares to visit the library after that. People have claimed that they've seen ghosts and shadowy figures.
Girl 1: Section 4 and 5 are the most haunted parts, according to witnesses. I've personally never experienced it. But the atmosphere there seem very bizarre. It's kinda creepy. Isn't it?
Girl 2: I don't know much but whenever I go there I feel like being watched by something unknown... or maybe it's just a gut feeling. I never go into the deeper sections of the library.
Prince Hikaru
Do you guys regularly visit the library?
Prince Hikaru
Oh, can you name some people who visit it regularly?
He questions the girls about everything they could tell.
Meisha
Let's see... the other day.
Meisha
Honestly I don't want to do it.. but I have to.
Prince Souta
You don't want to do what?
Meisha
.. Speak of the devil
She immediately covers her mouth but it's too late.
Prince Souta
Oh? Missed me?
Meisha
Like the hell I will!
Prince Souta
Then why did... you..
Meisha
I just wanted to ask you something?
A cocky grin spreads on his face.
Prince Souta
My hobbies? Interests? Preferences? Ask anything you want, I'm giving you the special...
Meisha
Why are you so self centered??!! I shouldn't have come here, ugh!!!
She turns to leaves but he grabs her hand.
Prince Souta
Wait.. Fine, ask me. I'll answer.
She doesn't believe him so she asks again to confirm if she heard it correct.
She take seat on a nearby bench.
Meisha
So how often do you visit the library?
Prince Souta
Very often. Are you curious about what kind of books I like? Ok, I'll tell you. I like..
Meisha
When do you usually go there?
Prince Souta
So that you can come at the same time?
Prince Souta
It's "your highness".
Meisha
Just answer my questions.
Prince Souta
..... no fixed time. Sometimes morning, sometimes evening. Whenever I am free.
Meisha
Did you ever see or experience something strange?
Prince Souta
No.. nothing...
Prince Souta
Strange.. like what?
Meisha
Ghosts or shadows...
Prince Souta
(Mockingly) Did you see a ghost?
Meisha
Yes, the other day I collided into a ghost.
(Remember when Meisha got scared and she ran out of the library and collided with Prince Souta?)
Prince Souta
.... shut up!
Prince Souta
Is it done now?
She ignores him and leaves.
Prince Souta
Argh!! This girl, she gets on my nerves sometimes.
Prince Souta
What good does Hikaru see in her?
Meisha
Hikaru.. wait, I'm opening the door.
Prince Hikaru
Thanks dear.
Prince Hikaru
Here I bought you some chocolates.
Meisha
Waahhh, thanks Hikaru!
She suddenly hugs him. Hikaru is taken aback by it. But, he wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her even closer. When Meisha notices it, she tries to wriggle out of his grip but she fails.
She tries to free herself but fails everytime.
Prince Hikaru
(Softly whispering) Sweetheart... stop moving. Let's stay like this, just for a while.
Meisha
Hi.. karu... please..
This intimacy is too much for her.
Suddenly he releases her. But then, he steps closer to her. She takes step back and in a moment she's pushed against the wall.
With one hand he grabs her wait while with other he grabs her cheeks and makes her look towards her. For a while, he gazes at her fondly. She's too surprised to say anything.
Hikaru brings his face closer to her... even closer and Meisha shuts her eyes tightly. She feels something very soft on her forehead....A kiss is planted by Hikaru on her forehead.
Prince Hikaru
Come dear, I'll tell you everything I found out.
He releases her and proceeds to sit on the sofa like nothing happened.
Prince Hikaru
What? Want more?
