Time Traveler

Chapter 27

Yoongi

"Thinking of him, I should go back to Goryeo," I mumbled to myself and slowly slid down from my couch to the floor where I switched the time on my clock. "Time to go back where I really belong."

Within a blink of an eye, I was back in Goryeo, in my bedroom, looking at the ceiling. "Well hello," I said as I got up to switch my clothes, as every time I traveled in time, I woke up in a Hanbok. "Your majesty you are back," said the old housekeeper who had walked up to the door and bowed to me as a greeting. With quick movements, I put on my shirt and bowed back to greet the old man.

"Jung-hoon I have told you countless times to not call me your majesty but my name. I don't care for what status I'm from, I want you to treat me like an equal." "Your majesty, I know that what you want is good, but let me live the last years of my life thanking the great king you are." I quickly jumped into the pants that I had asked the village people to sew for me and put on a sat gat (hat to protect from the rain or to hide one's identity).

"Well I'm not king by blood so maybe instead of all of you praising me I should be praising you for making me to be one," I said, walking past the old man to go and grab my pistol along with me. "Yes but good deeds make a great man, and that's why you became a king." "Well it's arguable but I thank you for thinking of me that highly," I said as I grabbed my bag to go outside. "Are you already leaving your highness?" Jung-hoon asked me as I opened the front door. "Yes!" I said while walking backwards towards the stairs. "I'll go see how everyone is doing, see you later!" I yelled to him and waved as I made my way down the stairs to get to the busy street. "Be careful your highness!" Jung-hoon called after me. "It's Yoongi, not your highness!" I yelled back and ran towards the busy street to greet the people.

Here lived the people I had known all my life, in the world that I belonged in so much better than the world I was supposed to live in but just didn't seem to fit. "Hi Yoongi, great to see you again!" "Hey, back already?" People greeted me on the street as I walked by. "Hi, yeah I don't know what happened today but I feel like coming here took a lot more time and energy than it usually takes. But I made it here and that's all that matters, am I right?" "Sure you are!" "Great to see you again." "You too guys!"

I continued to walk on the street, looking if I could find Sunny somewhere but before I could even get to her door, one of his servants ran up to me and greeted me with a low bow. "Hello your majesty," he said while gasping for air like he had run a marathon. "Hey what happened, is everything alright?" I asked while helping him up. "Yeah, all fine, but his majesty likes to see your majesty." "He wants to see me?" I asked, imagining worst-case scenarios in my head of what he would want from me or to tell me.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not sure myself your majesty, he just said it's urgent and to go and send you to the palace." Without saying a word I started sprinting towards the palace. It has to be bad when it's urgent, I thought to myself, and added speed to get there faster. "Wait, you should take someone with you!" he yelled after me. "Then find someone to send after me please!" I yelled back as I continued to run forward. I can't risk losing anyone else because of him.
