As the days passed, Jisoo found herself increasingly drawn to the princess, Jennie. She was captivated by her intelligence, her strength, and her grace. They spent more and more time together, and soon it felt as though they were the only two people in the world.

One day, Jennie suggested they go for a walk outside the palace walls. Jisoo was hesitant at first, but Jennie insisted, saying that she wanted to show Jisoo the world beyond the palace gates.

As they walked through the bustling streets, Jisoo felt a sense of wonder and excitement that she hadn't felt in a long time. Jennie pointed out different landmarks and told her stories about the history of the town.

They stopped at a small marketplace, where vendors sold everything from fresh produce to handmade trinkets. They sampled different foods and laughed as they explored the stalls.

Eventually, they came upon a street performer, a young woman with a beautiful singing voice. Jennie was immediately drawn to her, and she begged the woman to sing a song for them.

As the woman began to sing, Jisoo felt her heart swell with emotion. Jennie turned to her with a smile, and Jisoo knew in that moment that she was in love.

But she also knew that their love was impossible. Jennie was royalty, and Jisoo was just a guard. She resigned herself to a life of unrequited love, always remembering the joy they shared on that day in the town.
