Yn and Jimin arrived at the museum near the Royal Heritage Foundation, eager to uncover more about the elusive royal family. As they waited for Jimin's friend, Yn grew restless.
"Jimin, I'm going to take the museum tour while you look for your friend. Text me when he arrives," Yn said.
"Sure, Yn. I'll catch up with you once he's here," Jimin replied, heading towards the entrance.
Yn purchased her ticket and joined a tour group. As they moved through the exhibits, the guide recited facts that were already well-known and written clearly on the display boards.
"And here we have a portrait of King Sejong and his court," the guide droned, pointing to a picture.
Yn stifled a yawn and murmured, "Boring."
Just then, a deep voice whispered in her ear, "This picture is actually a drawing by the old princess. Her artistic talents remain a secret to most."
Yn spun around to see a tall, handsome man with a charming smile standing behind her. He wore a casually tucked-in shirt that accentuated his relaxed demeanor.

"How do you know that?" Yn asked, intrigued.
"I'm Korean and I work here. I know a few things about this place," he said with a wink. "I'm Kim Seokjin, but you can call me Jin."
"Nice to meet you, Jin. I'm Yn, an Indian journalist."
"Pleasure to meet you, Yn. You seem bored with these lectures," Jin observed.
"Yes, it's all stuff I already know," Yn admitted.
Jin's eyes sparkled with mischief. "How about I show you some exclusive places in the museum? Things the tour guide won't mention."
Yn's curiosity was piqued. "I'd love that."
Jin led her away from the group to a closed-off section of the museum. He unlocked a door that revealed a hidden kitchen.
"Why is there a kitchen in a museum?" Yn asked, astonished.
"This museum was once a leisure palace for the king," Jin explained. "This was his private kitchen."
"You know so much about this place," Yn said, impressed. "Can you help me with something?"
"What's the matter?" Jin asked.
Yn took a deep breath. "I'm here to write a book about the royal family. They're so secretive, and I need all the information I can get."
Jin's expression turned thoughtful. "That's a tough task. But I'll see what I can do."
They returned to the tour group just as it was ending. Yn felt a renewed sense of excitement. She had found a potential ally in Jin. They stood in front of the museum, discussing the palace's history when Jimin appeared with his friend.
"Yn, this is my friend from the Royal Heritage Foundation," Jimin began, but his friend's reaction cut him off.
The friend suddenly bowed deeply towards Jin. Yn was taken aback, confusion written all over her face.
"Why is he bowing to me?" she wondered aloud, looking from Jimin's friend to Jin, who maintained his charming smile but said nothing.
The mystery surrounding the royal family seemed to deepen with each passing moment.
