Timeless Obsession

Ep 4: Challenge

Winter's P.O.V

Just a few hours ago, I was peacefully sitting in my jail cell, contemplating the mysteries of life and occasionally counting the cracks in the ceiling. But now, my tranquility has been rudely interrupted by the presence of a cruelly sexy woman. And no, I'm not exaggerating. She's sitting in front of me, grinning like she just won the jackpot at the insanity fair.

(The sexy woman she calls cruel)

Yep, you heard me. Cruel. I know that face! From the very first sight of her, I knew exactly who she was.

She was Jimin Yu!! The greatest—and let's not forget, the cruelest—Queen of the Joseon era! Her reputation preceded her, a blend of beauty and malevolence that was as legendary as it was terrifying. Her face, flawless and striking, was the stuff of nightmares and dreams, depending on which side of her wrath you stood.

Jimin Yu's grin widened, revealing perfectly white teeth that seemed to gleam with an almost otherworldly light. She leaned forward, her eyes twinkling with a mix of mischief and menace. I could feel the heat of her gaze, like a spotlight zeroing in on its hapless victim. The air in the cell seemed to thicken, every second stretching out painfully, making me hyper-aware of her every move.

"So, Winter, you really won't admit you're a spy?" she says, crossing her arms and leaning back against her chair.
