Stuck in Joseon Era

Part 16

Only 24 hours passed and you're already feeling lonely because of Eunbi and Shin Moonyoung's absence. Huffing, an image of your father passes by in your head. “Are you doing well Abeonim?” you mumble to yourself.

"Agassi” then you hear a call outside your room, a male voice. Hurriedly standing up while making your dress, you sit with back straighten and the door opens.

The guard bows at you and you immediately recognize him by his dress. “Jimin-ssi sent you?” you raise your brows and he nods. “I'll be there" you smile at him and then soon later you get ready to meet Jimin.

Slowly peaking inside Jimin's workplace, you see him on the table writing something on the paper. Tiptoeing toward Jimin you decide to play with him.

"So you finally called me" you slam your hand on his working desk which startles Jimin. The letter he just finished to write, he instantly folds it and hides it on the drawer. “What were you doing let me see it too" you try to pick into his drawer but he quickly shoves you aside.

"Just a paper work" he lies and tries to escorts you out from his workplace. “Or were you writing love letter?” you tease him while sticking your elbow which takes him back for a moment and his steps freeze.

"I-I told you it's just a paper work" Jimin nervously says and you turn around with a grin. “It's your age to fall in love. Why are you so nervous?” you look at him teasingly.

"Anw you made a good decision by calling me. I was already feeling lonely” you say between your pouted lips. “Why were you feeling lonely?” “Cause Eunbi and Shin Moonyoung-ssi left. They were the only people whom I was close with" you sigh.

"Oh" Jimin just nods. “Why did you call me though?” not to make the atmosphere dismal, you change the topic. “J-Just" he says. “Just?” you look at him in disbelief. “Umm" he nods while you annoyingly look at him. “Btw you are wearing that hairpin" he then points at his gifted hairpin.

"You gave me to wear it obviously” you playfully roll your eyes. “Master” then a guard comes running toward Jimin's workplace. He heavily takes breath and then looks at Jimin.

"H-Her highness” panting heavily, the guard speaks. “What happened to her highness?” Jimin panics. “S-She’s on her way to your office" the guards finally catches a breath and says. “What?” Jimin loudly exclaim and hurriedly start to tidy his office, even though  it was already clean and tidy.

Then he hurries up to take a look in the mirror and nods at himself while you smile as you found it cute. “You're really in love with her" you teasingly stick out your tongue at him and Jimin pauses for a moment, then later on his lips curves into a smile.

"Wahhh” you had never seen him smiling around and it indeed surprised you a lot. “I am curious to see who the girl is" you laugh.

"What are you doing here?” you then hear a familiar voice.

“Don't tell me"

“Your highness" Jimin bows at Areum, his tip of ear getting red slowly. “Ahh it's the cheap maid" Areum scoffs at you and you turn around. “Long time no see" she now sarcastically smiles. “Oh so it's you” you roll your eyes. “The audacity wahh" she gets angry as it hurt her dignity.

"Oh wait, the hairpin” she squints her eyes as she tries to touch your hairpin. “Don't touch it" you harshly slap her hand as you didn't like it when someone touched the thing you always treasured.

"I didn't just call you cheap” she shrugs while looking at you. “Your highness" Jimin tries to talk to her. “I'm leaving” enough of her attitude, you decide to leave.

"You don't know but that hairpin was actually for me" Areum says which freezes your steps. “Areum-ah” Jimin then sterns his voice. “Didn't you tell her?” she now turns at Jimin whose gaze was at you. “Seriously?” you scoff and take off the hairpin.

"Jimin-ssi, it wouldn't have pissed me if you told me about this by yourself" you turn around and briskly walk toward Jimin, handing the hairpin back to him.
