"Y/N travelled back in 1672 to the king's time.
To.... "The curel king kim Taehyung"







As Y/N's eyes fluttered open, she was met with an eerie sense of disorientation. The mirror before her, once a dusty relic, now gleamed with an otherworldly sheen, reflecting her image with unsettling clarity. But it was not the mirror's sudden cleanliness that sent her mind reeling

- it was the scene unfolding beside her.

A bunch of girls, their attire reminiscent of maids from a bygone era, hurried past her, their footsteps echoing through the hall. The abrupt transformation from eerie silence to vibrant activity left Y/N's thoughts in disarray.

Her gaze darted wildly about the room, taking in the opulent decorations and the assemblage of soldiers and nobles, they've been wearing like a cosplay out of long-forgotten era. The air was alive with the rustle of silks and the soft clinking of armor, a symphony of sounds that defied explanation.

Y/N's mind raced with questions:
"Was she dreaming? Had she somehow stumbled into a fantastical realm? Isn't I was in king's old mansion? How had this strange, new world supplanted the one she knew?"

As she struggled to make sense of her surroundings, a gentle touch on her arm by a women in her mid 20's startled her. A soft voice whispered in her ear,

Woman: "Who are you? You don't seems from here. Are you new maid?"

Y/N: (after thinking sometime) "I...I don't know. I was in an old building and suddenly everything changed. I don't know how I got here."

Woman: "You don't know where you are? Are you serious? Everyone knows this place!" (Confused)

Y/N: "I'm sorry, I feel really confused. I know I would sound dumb to you but Can you please tell me what year it is?"

Woman: "What?! You don't even know the year?! It's 1672, of course!"

"And the place you are standing right now..... No, not only this mansion but the whole country belongs to our lord. Our one and only our king Kim Taehyung"

As Y/N listen to that women her whole existence shivered down her spine.
The reality of her situation struck her like a thunderbolt, leaving her shaken and bewildered.

That women gaze upon her was a mixture of confusion and curiosity, as if trying to decipher the enigma that was Y/N. Her attire, a stark contrast to the opulence around her, seemed to be the focal point of Tiya's attention.

Keeping aside their useless thoughts she begins to spoke.

"Why you're dressed like a beggar," she remarked, her tone a blend of surprise and amusement.

Y/N's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she mentioned her outfit as a beggar's outfit.

Women: Are you here for work? Do you know how to serve for king?

Y/N: umm.... Yes I'm here for work
(What else she'd say,so)

Women: okay..... I am lee Tiya. Working in kitchen area.

Y/N: I'm... I'm Choi Y/N. Nice to meet you. (Confusingly bows)

Tiya: "Nice to meet you too, Y/N. But your outfit.......it's not exactly suitable for the mansion." (said with a giggle and a playful smile)

Y/N: "I know, I...I don't have anything else to wear." (looking down, embarrassed and ashamed)

Tiya: "No worries, I'll show you my room. You can take a shower and change into something more appropriate. Follow me!" (said with a warm smile and a reassuring tone)
