My Only Girl

Chapter 20

Y/n POV

Humming the tunes of some of my favourite K-pop songs, Taehyung and I set off to see Seoul's beauty. Taehyung hasn't told me yet where are we going now and so I decided to ask him.
"Well, where are we going first??". I asked.
"Actually can you tell me what kind of places you like to visit so that accordingly I can take you to those kind of places.."he said.
"Umm...I like ancient and beautiful architectural places or the kind of places that I have never been to....i like visiting river sides and amusement parks and also not too much of crowded places for sure but I want you to take me to each and every place of Seoul....so you can take me wherever you want to." I replied.
"Ok...I got it and let me tell you that you are at the best place according to your places choices... Seoul has each kind of place you just described now... Don't worry...I will take you to each and every part of Seoul that you will surely fall in love with...hehe!" He said enthusiastically.
"Okie...let's go!!" I said while throwing my fists in air in excitement.

So our first Destination was Gyeongbokgung  Palace. As Taehyung told me it's the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty. Built in 1395.
The largest of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon dynasty, Gyeongbokgung served as the home of Kings of the Joseon dynasty, the Kings' households, as well as the government of Joseon. There we visited the National Palace museum of Korea and also National Folk museum of Korea. Its ancient beauty and heritage is mesmerizing and we even walked through the garden of the palace with a number of different kinds of blooming flowers spreading their fragrance in the daylight air...it really soothed us and we even clicked so many pictures there...When visiting the Gyeongbokgung Palace, we didn't missed out on observing the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony or the Gwanghwamun Gate Guard-on-Duty Performance. It was really a fun thing to observe and see their performance. Right after the ceremony ended,  we all visitors were offered to don a gatekeeper’s costume at the Sumunjangcheong Building, located behind the Gwanghwamun Gate. We had no reason not to do this cuz the Sumungun (Gatekeeper) Costume Experience is absolutely free! So I and Taehyung decided to try it out and after changing into the costume, I and Taehyung both couldn't have stopped smiling and giggling at each other,... we even asked an old couple to click a few pics of us and they happily agreed....we both made many funny faces and even the old couple was enjoying our antics...after visiting a number of halls and Castels of Gyeongbokgung Palace, we decide to move to our next destination.
We went to Bukchon Hanok Village that is a Korean traditional village in Seoul with a long history located on the top of a hill between Gyeongbok Palace, Changdeok Palace and Jongmyo Royal Shrine. The traditional village is composed of many alleys, hanok and is preserved to show a 600-year-old urban environment. We walked through the beautiful and neat and clean alleys of the village and even rested a bit under the shade of a hut and clicked so many pictures of each other with numerous poses which were most of the time hilarious than decent. After resting a bit we went to a large beautiful hanok that  has been open to the public since 2015, as part of the Seoul Museum of History. It is located in an alley, just on the foot of the hill. There I got to know that one of my favourite Korean dramas i.e "Personal Taste" starring Lee Min Ho was being shooted. I literally jumped on my feet after knowing this Amajin fact and thanked Taehyung for taking me to this wonderful place to which he just laughed and called me a K-drama lover, only if he knew that Lee Min Ho is my favourite K-drama actor.... 
We walked around the whole village and got a stamp at every new destination and at the end we got a keychain as a souvenir. There was also a number of museums and we visited almost all of them...
Later we decided to have some snacks in a local restaurant there which was operated by a middle aged couple and rested there a bit to give some relax to our legs...This ancient village have  very picturesque locations and beautiful architecture that you no longer see in modern-day society and it surely gave a lot of photo opportunities to let ourselves get immersed in its beauty for a long time.
After having a quick snack we went to the atop of a hill from where we were able to see the background of the high rise modern buildings in the distance....from there we finally decided to move to our next stoppage.
