“나의 소중한 아기(naui sojunghan agi=my precious baby" you mumble while massaging your breast in your sleep. “Huh? This feels so small. Did I get flat overnight?” you murmur while struggling to wake up from the sleep.

"Where am I?” your vision was blur as you felt your body laid down in a hard floor. “It's so hot here" you throw the thin blanket from your body and slowly get up.

And then the door slides revealing some ladies who were dressed in clothes that you had never seen before. “C-Court lady, Court lady" the girl who came inside your room with towel and bowl of water starts to shout.

"Ahhh you're so loud" you annoyingly look at her with eyes half opened. “Court lady Han Hyuna, are you feeling well?” the old lady rushes beside you.

“Han Hyuna? Court lady?”

"Han Hyuna?” she shakes your body and you look at her, clueless. “Who are you?” you frown and the young female who entered your room with towel and bowl of water widens her eyes.

"It's me Court lady Shin Moonyoung” the old lady desperately pats her chest. “The doctor's here" the young female looks down. “Why are you all dressed so weirdly? Is this Joseon dynasty?” you look at everyone. “It indeed is Joseon dynasty" Shin Moonyoung replies. “Is this a prank? Where's my father I need to see him" you abruptly get up from bedsheet but then you suddenly get a piercing pain on your back.

"This hurts" you whine in pain as you get your hand on the back. “How is her health?” the doctor and eunch (officials to the king and other royalty in traditional Korean society) enters your room.

"She still has pain in her back” the court lady, Shin Moonyoung bows at the doctor. “Omg, she is bleeding" the other court lady points at your back. “The wound's too deep, she must take proper rest" the doctor quickly runs to your side and the court lady helps you to sit down.

"Why? I can sit myself. Why are you so kind to me?” you look at their face when they carefully help you to sit down. “It's an order from our king. You should be taken care" Shin Moonyoung smiles at you. “Can you show me your tongue?” the doctor asks you and you stick out your tongue. He also checks your eyes.

"Everything is okay. You just need to treat her wound" the doctor nods at Shin Moonyoung and walks toward the eunch. “The king has sent you healthy fruits and a letter" the eunch who was close to the king nods at you and then the door opens with court ladies who walks in with the gifts.

"Oh? King?” you say between your pouted lips. “What’s his name?” you nod at the eunch. “His?” he couldn't get your question. “The person whom you are referring king. What's his name?” you ask. “Hyuna-si, you shouldn't be asking our royal king's name" Shin Moonyoung quickly covers your mouth.

"What?” you frown as you wipe her hand from your mouth. “Ahhh" you now nod while looking at their face and start to laugh  hysterically, which confuses each and every people present inside the room.

"This is a dream right? A long dream. I will wake up in few seconds” you laugh and look at the court ladies but they look at each other in clueless and your smile slowly disappears. “Aren't I right?” you awkwardly laugh and look at Shin Moonyoung who looks at you with a worried frown.

"Pinch me come on” you point at your arm while looking at her. “Fast” you whine and then she pinches you hardly which cause you to scream loud.

"Ahhh not that hard" you scream and rub your arm.

"Huh? I still am dreaming?” you exclaim loudly when nothing vanish from your site as you had expected. “Wait? No this is not true" you shake your head in disbelief while murmuring to yourself and abruptly get up, looking for the mirror. And as you see one, you jump in front of it. Your eyes enlarges second after second when you see someone else’s face in the mirror.

“This better be a dream”

You begin to touch your face, pinching every part of your facial features to check if it was real. “I am doomed" you heavily plop on the ground with wide eyes but suddenly you again stand up and pull up your hanbok, running outside from your room.

"Hyuna-si, Court lady, Hyuna-ya" everyone starts to shout your name while running after you.

"Oh mai goshh" you gasp in disbelief when you see the palace and the surrounding around you

"Oh mai goshh" you gasp in disbelief when you see the palace and the surrounding around you. “Court lady it’s dangerous to run around when you're wounded” the eunch says between his heavy breath but you don't pay any attention toward him.

"Then what about my” your hand lands on your womanhood. “Ahhh no no no. Oh nooo" you exclaim and then look down, pulling up your hanbok to look between your legs. And the eunch and other male guard as well as the doctor turn around in awkwardness.

"Hyuna-ya what are you doing?” the court lady of your age quickly pulls your hanbok down. “I clearly remember myself shaving yesterday. What are these bushes? They too thick" you complain.

"King is here. Show your gratitude” the eunch says when he sees the king from afar but you were too busy in your own thoughts. “전하 (Jeonha=Your majesty)” the eunch bows and so does other guards as well as court ladies. No one dares to look up at the king, meanwhile you were biting your nails and contemplating with your own thoughts.

The king stares you for a while and as the eunch feels uncomfortable, he decides to call you but the king quickly raises his hand.

"Listen-“ “Stop" you raise your hand in the air and turn around slowly while all the court ladies wide their eyes in fear. “아가씨 (Agasshi=Young lady/Miss)” the eunch sternly calls you. “It’s okay" the king smiles while looking at you.
