DRABBLES AND SERIES [ jinbyul ]

entangled in joseon; facing the moon means facing death

bonus chapter two: facing the moon means facing death.

genre: fluff and comedy!

note: immature jealousy for the sprinkle of comedy, this won't be anything logical, tbh. ahaha, enjoy!

warning: this whole chapter, and the whole story itself is a historical distortion, and if this will appear offensive or hurtful in the korean history, i am willing to take it down, please let me know.

trivia before we continue: royal concubines are legal mistresses in the history, and they are meant to serve as someone who cohabits with the king, although they are lower than the queen.

they can also have physical intimacy with the king, and produce off-springs but are not considered as a successor unless there are other situations.

this will explain the behavior of some figures in this story, so please take note of this concept the most since it is contrasting with what is practiced now.

♡♡♡

they have been very busy.

the duration of their educational training has been long gone, and they have finally been learning about the orientation of the internal and external court.

byulyi and seokjin had been criss-crossing, exchanging glances and letters in order to satisfy their longing for each other during the days.

they have never encountered any conflict within' the journey except for the minor stubborn remarks coming from each individual.

until that very one day.

"i am very certain that you are very cool with your bond with lord kim."

byulyi purses her lips, as soon as she heard taehyung's words while they are eating their lunch together in the dining hall, the open air soothing their senses from any stressful matters inside a contained hall.

"what are you trying to say?" byulyi softly asks, taking a bite of her rice cake as taehyung chuckles. "it seems to be days when the both of you are not seeing each other eye to eye."

the second princess nodded, mumbling. "is there any problem, royal guard kim?" she asks him, as taehyung shrugs, pursing his lips. "well, i am quite sure that you have lord kim's heart," he started.

"mm?"

"but i am quite certain that there are a lot of royal princesses swarming around him for the thrones for concubines are still empty."

byulyi then was taken aback within' his words, the sticky rice cake immediately going over her throat as she coughs, surprising taehyung.

"princess!" he cried, immediately standing up to see her coughing out loud, grabbing the tea in front of her to chug it down of panic, stopping him from coming close.

"i am fine." she tells him, almost punching a hole in her chest as she swallows the rice cake, quickly going back to the conversation.

"i am not aware of the thrones of royal concubine for he had never brought that up with me." byulyi mumbles, as taehyung then pauses.

"he is not finding one, but i am hearing the rumors of the princesses liking him."

it was no longer news.
