Chapter 8 - chapter 8 Dream promise

The scene begins late at night. Kim gently leads Rehani to a bed and has her sit down. Rehani sits, with an unknown fear in her eyes. Kim slowly comes up behind her. With a wave of his hand, all the windows and doors in the room close. Rehani is startled, but looking at Kim, she seems somewhat reassured. Kim wraps his arms around her waist, and his warm breath falls on Rehani's shoulder. Rehani trembles, but she doesn't stop Kim.

Kim gently bites Rehani's neck, as if intoxicated. Rehani closes her eyes, a smile appearing on her face, as if this pain is bringing her pleasure. But hidden behind this pleasure is an unknown agony.

Suddenly the scene changes. Rehani is sitting on the floor, crying, and Kim is kneeling in front of her. Kim holds Rehani's soft hand in his. Kim whispers, "I am here... don't cry." Rehani continues to cry, and tears stream down her eyes. Both of them are drenched in sweat. Rehani shivers and says, "I can't do this anymore, Kim... go slowly." Kim slowly pulls down Rehani's dress. Rehani then holds a pillow tightly. Her crying becomes more intense.

The scene takes place in a bedroom in the morning.

Rehani and Kim are in a deep sleep, the fatigue of the night still lingering in their bodies.

Rehani is lying comfortably on the bed, her hand intertwined with Kim's. Kim slowly brings her hand to his lips and gently kisses it.

Rehani smiles slightly, remaining in a peaceful slumber with her eyes still closed.

KIM

(Whispering, softly)

"Good morning, Rehani... no more worries today. Just rest."

The candlelight and warmth of the night are gone from the room, but the soft morning light brings a sense of peace to the bedside.

Rehani drifts back into a calm sleep, and Kim sits quietly beside her, just listening to the sound of her breathing.

These small moments—the touch of a hand, the warmth of breath—all come together to make the morning a quiet, comfortable moment.The soft sunlight falls by the bed. Rehani slowly opens her eyes. Her gaze falls on Kim—the sunlight playing softly on his hair.

Rehani, a little surprised, whispers softly:

RÉHANI

"Kim... you're a vampire... and the sun is shining... nothing's happening?"

Kim smiles calmly, his eyes filled with their usual warmth.

KIM

"I'm fine... remember the pact? Our blood bond keeps me safe from this light too. I can be by your side, anytime."

Rehani slowly takes Kim's hand. Her heart beats faster, and she whispers:

RÉHANI

"Then... we really are safe together. I... I won't lose anything."

Kim smiles gently and holds her hand tighter.

KIM

"Yes, Rehani... we are together. We can face everything, accept all risks."

The sunlight spreads softly through the room, and in that light, the strength of their relationship shines even brighter. Small touches, looking into each other's eyes—all together, it's a calm, safe, and warm morning.

Rehani laughs and looks at Kim. Both of them are wearing thin white dresses, which look even softer and more luminous in the sunlight.

Kim slowly moves toward Rehani, with warmth and affection in his eyes. Suddenly, Kim lifts her up and holds her in his lap.

Rehani blushes, her eyes become soft, and she smiles gently.

RÉHANI

"Kim... what are you doing?"

Kim laughs and whispers:

KIM

"I just wanted to hold you in my lap... you are by my side, and this moment is special to me."

Rehani's heart beats fast, and she feels—Kim's warmth, the touch of his hands, and the soft light of the room all together are creating a magical, safe, and peaceful environment.

Rehani stands, wearing her red dress. Every part of the dress glitters, with a small, sparkling ornament on her head. She looks at the broken glass mirror, a slight, shy smile in her reflection.

RÉHANI

(Whispering)

"Today... everything feels new…"

Suddenly, Kim enters the room. There is warmth in his eyes, only for Rehani. He slowly comes closer, but says nothing—he just looks and watches Rehani.

Rehani holds her forehead and takes a light breath, blushing. Her hand moves to touch the mirror, as if she is holding both her confidence and her feelings in this moment.

KIM

(In a soft voice)

"Rehani… you are beautiful today, as always."

Rehani's eyes light up even more, and she smiles faintly as she turns back to the mirror, holding her forehead.

Rehani and Kim step out of the room. Rehani's red dress glimmers in the soft morning light. Kim walks slowly by her side, his eyes full of warmth.

Behind them, many palace servants—men and women—are busy, keeping an eye on Rehani and Kim. Some are arranging flowers, some are cleaning windows, while others walk by carrying bags or accessories. The sound of their footsteps and work blends the morning's peace with a sense of excitement.

RÉHANI

(With a faint smile)

"So many people are looking at us... everything feels a little different."

KIM

(Smiling softly)

"Their job is just to help us... don't you worry. Let's just focus on each other."

They walk through the crowd of servants toward the garden. Kim's hand is intertwined with Rehani's, and the red dress sways gently in the light morning breeze.

Small smiles, looking into each other's eyes—all together, it creates a calm and enchanting morning.

Rehani and Kim are walking in the garden, holding hands. The morning sunlight glimmers on the red dress. Suddenly, the sky turns reddish, as if some strange power or emotion is touching the sky.

Kim notices, a look of concern in his eyes. He quickly looks at Rehani.

KIM

(Agitated, worried)

"W-what's happening? Rehani... are you alright?"

Rehani stops for a moment, her eyes wide as she looks at the sky. Her heart is beating fast, but she tries to remain calm.

RÉHANI

(Surprised, in a low voice)

"Maybe... it's my anger... but... I can't control it."

Kim slowly comes closer to her, holding Rehani's hand tightly.

KIM

(In a soft voice)

"I'm here, Rehani. You are not alone... nothing will happen. Just look at me."

The reddish color in the sky slowly begins to fade. Rehani places her hand on her forehead and takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself with Kim's reassurance.INT. PALACE ROOM - NIGHT

Rehani and Kim are sitting together, with the soft moonlight shining in the sky. They look at each other in a peaceful moment.

RÉHANI

(Laughing, with a sparkle in her eyes)

"Okay... what name should we give our child if we have one? Tell me, Kim."

Kim smiles gently, holding Rehani's hand and says:

KIM

"I think... we could give a name that's as bright and strong as fire. Have you thought of any names?"

Rehani thinks for a moment, then whispers:

RÉHANI

"I want their name to be... a symbol of our fire. The union of strength and love. What would you want?"

With warmth in his eyes, Kim slowly places a hand on Rehani's shoulder.

KIM

"Yes... we'll decide together. The name will be just like us—special, strong, and eternal."

Rehani smiles, looking directly into Kim's eyes.

RÉHANI

"Then our child's name will be... exactly like us, just like our story."

Rehani and Kim are sitting together in the moonlight. They are looking at each other in silence, but there's a faint sparkle in Rehani's eyes.

RÉHANI

(Laughing, with a slightly thoughtful expression)

"I just remembered... I'm Bangladeshi-Chinese, and you're Korean. So... what will our child's name be? Will we be able to find a name that combines both?"

Kim smiles softly, holding Rehani's hand.

KIM

"Huh... I see. Then our name has to be something that reflects our combined cultures. A mix of strength, beauty, and history."

Rehani smiles gently and rests her head on his shoulder.

RÉHANI

"Okay... but the name shouldn't just be beautiful; it should also tell the story of our relationship. Do you agree?"

Kim nods with warmth in his eyes.

KIM

"I completely agree. Our child's name will be... a reflection of our fire."

They both look at each other peacefully. The silence of the night, the moonlight, and the touch of love—all combine to make the moment unforgettable.

Rehani and Kim are sitting together in the moonlight. Their breaths are in sync, and the room is filled with romantic silence.

RÉHANI

(With a faint smile)

"Okay... let's decide on a name. I want the name to combine my Chinese-Bangladeshi roots and your Korean heritage."

KIM

(Smiling)

"Alright. Let's think... the name will be a combination of strength, beauty, and a reflection of our relationship."

RÉHANI

(With a gentle smile)

"Then... if it's a boy, he'll be 'Jin-Wei'. Korean 'Jin' and Chinese-Bangladeshi 'Wei'."

KIM

(With a soft laugh)

"That's beautiful. And if it's a girl?"

RÉHANI

(With a sparkle in her eyes)

"Then she'll be 'Mei-Ling'... a mix of Chinese and Korean. Beautiful and strong."

Kim holds her hand in his.

KIM

"Then it's decided. Our child will be 'Jin-Wei' or 'Mei-Ling'. A child of our fire."

Rehani nods with a smile.

RÉHANI

"Yes... a child of our fire."

The moonlight spreads softly around them. The moment is filled with love, hope, and dreams of a new life.
