Under the Moon, I Wake Up
Moonlight touches her face before she opens her eyes.
It is cold... White..Silent.
Han Yura wakes up slowly, like she is coming up from deep water.
Her head hurts. Not sharp pain, heavy pain. Like something is sitting inside her skull.
The first thing she sees is a man’s face above her.
And he is close , too close
Dark hair, neatly combed. Sharp eyes. Calm mouth. He looks at her like he has been waiting for her to wake up for a very long time.
She tries to move but strong arms are holding her..
*The man says softly. His voice is low and controlled*
And the word safe sounds wrong in her ears as if it was not what it looked like..
She pulls back suddenly. Her heart starts racing. Her body reacts before her mind does
Han Yura(FL)
Who are you??
The man does not look shocked.
He slowly loosens his hold but does not move away. His hands are still on her back, steady, warm
?
I am Seo Jin-woo.. Your husband
Han Yura(FL)
*Her mind goes blank*
Han Yura(FL)
My husband? B-But I don't remember anything.. I don't even know where am I?.. and how did I end up here?...who??
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*He watches her face carefully. Every breath. Every blink. Like a doctor watching a patient wake up from surgery*
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Continues gently* You fainted again that's why you don't remember. the moonlight triggered it..You’ve always been sensitive to it
Han Yura(FL)
*Confusion all over her face*
Han Yura(FL)
*repeats* Fainted? Moonlight..?!
Han Yura(FL)
*Says quickly* That's impossible I don't remember any of it..
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Nods, as if he expected this exact sentence*
Something in that answer makes her chest tighten.
Han Yura(FL)
*Looks around*
They are in a large bedroom. Clean. Expensive. White curtains move slowly with the night wind.
The moon is full outside the glass window, hanging low and bright.
Her body is wrapped in a thin blanket.
She realizes suddenly- she is lying on his lap.
Han Yura(FL)
*Her hands shake* I want to sit up!!
Han Yura(FL)
*she unknowingly pushes him*
He helps her slowly, carefully, like she might break. When she is sitting, he puts some space between them but not much.
Han Yura(FL)
*Her head spins* Where is this place? where am I??
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Gently* Our house.. where we live
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
husband and wife..
Han Yura(FL)
*Looks at him suspiciously.. her heart won't believe what he said*
Han Yura(FL)
I-I need proof..

Guilt
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Gently* Our house.. where we live
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
Husband and wife..
Han Yura(FL)
*Looks at him suspiciously.. her heart won't believe what he said*
Han Yura(FL)
I - I need proof..
Seo Jin-woo did not answer immediately.
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Looks at her, not surprised it's like he already knows what will she ask*
Like he had been waiting for that line.
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Says softly* you know you always say that line.. every time you wake up.
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*bitter smile* every time you forget your husband..pfft..
Han Yura(FL)
*Feels little guilty* I- I always say that?..
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Moves closer, slow, careful, like she might disappear if he rushed*
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
“You said it the first night you woke up
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
You asked me the same thing.”
Han Yura(FL)
*Her heart skipped* I don't remember that.. nothing I-
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Calm voice* I know
Han Yura(FL)
*flinches a little*
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Laughs bitterly, and then looks at her with soft eyes* May I?
Han Yura(FL)
*Stares at him for a while then nods*
He turned her wrist gently.
There was a thin, faded scar near her pulse.
Han Yura(FL)
*Her breath caught*
Han Yura(FL)
I don't have this
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Corrects her using soft voice as if afraid of scaring her* You do! you just don't remember how you got this.
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*He lifted his own sleeve*
Han Yura(FL)
*eyes widens* That’s not possible
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
You cried when it happened, you blamed yourself for it
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
“You said you ruined my stupid cooking knife.”
Han Yura(FL)
*feels unease* Knife?? cooking? wait how did we both got same scar on the exact same place..
Han Yura(FL)
What's the reason what happened? why can’t I remember..
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Freezes*
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
(..She never asked this question before..)
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Takes a deep breath*
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
*Turns to look at her, his eyes still soft but there was a lingering coldness in them*
Seo Jin- woo(ML)
You tried to suicide..
