Unbinding Tradition

1. Rain and Remembrance 🌧️

Please go through the introduction part once cuz I made some changes in Tae's part.

Do read the below chapter as I have made some changes in the storyline and please comment as much as you can. I want your response like earlier. 🙏

In the heart of Rajasthan, the ancient village showed off a rich cultural heritage and age-old traditions.

Narrow streets ran through busy markets where vendors sold their goods. Children played in the pebbled street, and the smell of spices filled the air.

Cows wandered slowly, not bothered by the crowds, while camels decorated with colourful garlands walked by, adding to the village's lively scene.

Amidst this lively backdrop, in a simple yet welcoming home, lived a girl named Tae.

At seventeen, she was the epitome of calm and sweetness, her presence bringing warmth to everyone around her. Tae seemed calm, but she loved singing and dancing. These passions brought a playful sparkle to her eyes.

Lying on her bed, she hummed softly, her voice echoing like a nightingale's song through the room. Her mind wandered, lost in the melodies she loved so dearly.

The clouds outside began to gather, signaling the onset of the monsoon. As the first drops of rain hit the rooftop, a familiar excitement stirred within her.

Unable to resist the call of the rain, Tae stood up and made her way to the balcony. The cool breeze kissed her face as she stepped outside, her bare feet relishing the feel of the wet tiles.

The rain drizzled gently, creating a harmony with the earth below. With a graceful twirl, she began singing; her voice blending harmoniously with the pattering raindrops.

She took her dupatta and held it in front of her like a veil, covering her face completely as she danced gracefully.

Each movement was an expression of her unbound joy, her voice ringing clear and pure in the rain.

Unknown to her, Jungkook, the new District Collector, was out for his evening walk.

Known for his strict and stern nature, Jungkook was a man who commanded respect. At twenty-seven, he handled his responsibilities with strong dedication. His traditional values and commitment to duty guided everything he did, leaving little time for personal pleasures.

As he walked through the rain-soaked streets, his attention was caught by an angelic voice. Drawn by the sound, his eyes were soon fixed on Tae, dancing gracefully in the balcony above.

English translation of the lyrics:

In a bridal veil, I'll come to you, leaving my father's house,

For you only, I'll bring with me, O my beloved, a collection of sixteen seasons of rain.

Hold this delicate thread with love,

This is the start of our seven lifetimes together.

Her beauty, hidden by the dupatta, and the innocence of her dance captivated him, breaking through the rigid walls he had built around himself.

Jungkook stood mesmerized, a rare smile appearing on his lips. He watched her with admiration and curiosity, feeling a special happiness in his heart even though he couldn't see her face.
