Twenty-one days. Not even a month. What could happen in just twenty-one days?——If lives could change in a heartbeat, twenty one days were enough to turn Jungkook's entire world upside down.
Outside, there was nothing, only some fractional changes of his facial expressions. His expressions became dark—intensely private. Some faintest shadows, under his eyes, marks of sleepless nights. But inside, He was no longer the same person as before.
He found his life. Found love in a most unexpected way. He was just a nobody. But now the entire nation was walking with him.
The crowning ceremony began with a royal march that took place from the main palace building to the old palace of the king Jaewook, and Sontek temple. The event also featured an imperial ritual ceremony—a ritual to the God of heaven to inform him about the emperor’s coronation. There the new king prayed for the wellbeing of his people.
As an official emperor of South Korea, Jungkook wore a crown made of thin gold sheets, crafted with gold spangles and jade.

The royal attire was decorated with twelve symbols, such as the sun, the moon, the stars, mountains and a dragon.
Thousands of people from all over the city, outside the city, far away villages and towns mobilized sideways, thinning the streets, cheering for their new emperor's name. The royal procession led by a big red banner emblazoned with the emperor’s coat of arms—the golden dragon. Then the emperor himself, sitting on a golden seat carried by eight carriage bearers dressed in gold, and encircled by the royal guards with open swords.
When the newly crowned emperor returned to the palace, the officials welcomed him. The beat of the Royal drums and the sweet tenor voice of gayageum could be heard from inside the hall. When the gate opened, the officials performed a congratulatory ritual before the emperor. Hitting their knees with their hands three times, they bowed their heads three times, and chanted "Long live the emperor" in a wish for the emperor’s longevity.
Jungkook smiled, a little shy but completely genuine.
In all Korean weddings, the groom customarily visited the bride’s house and brought her to his home. The same applied to the kings. However, because of the common house of both the grooms, the ceremony was held at Junghae Jeon Hall, the North-east corner of the palace.
