Hana's anger slowly ebbed away as she listened to him. Without warning, she hugged him tightly, burying her face in his chest.
Tae was taken aback by her sudden reaction, his arms instinctively wrapping around her. This was the first time Hana had hugged him of her own accord.
She pulled back slightly, looking up at him with teary eyes. "I'm sorry," she whispered.
Tae smiled gently, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "Sorry for what? For breaking the hug? Or for taking so long to hug me?"
Hana sniffled, a small smile breaking through her tears. "Stop it, Tae."
Tae chuckled softly, his tone playful. "So, what's your real name, Princess? Should we introduce ourselves properly first?"
Hana nodded, composing herself. She took a step back and bowed respectfully. "My name is Princess Na-Rae from the Joseon Dynasty."
Tae straightened up, taking her hand and kissing her knuckles with exaggerated formality. "Princess Na-Rae, my name is Kim Tae-hyung. I'm from future Korea."
They both laughed, the tension finally easing between them. But then, Hana's expression grew serious as she remembered something. "Tae, the kidnappers know my real name. They called me Na-Rae... and they know your ."
Tae's eyes widened in shock. "What? How?"
Hana nodded, her voice trembling slightly. "Yes. They got a call from someone. I overheard them saying, 'Yes, sir, we've got Na-Rae. We're on the way, but Tae-hyung is following us.'"
Tae's mind raced, trying to piece together what was happening. "This doesn't make any sense," he muttered, more to himself than to Hana.
Who knows that we time travelled? Who knows that you are with me?
Hana looked at him, concern etched on her face. "What should we do, Tae?"
Tae took a deep breath, "Let's not worry about it tonight. We'll figure it out together. I'm not letting anything happen to you, I promise."
Hana nodded and eventually fell asleep Tae is still thinking about the kidnappers and he fell asleep.
The next evening, they were getting ready for the auction. Tae's dad and Tae were waiting downstairs, already dressed and ready. Tae was unusually silent, his mind still preoccupied with the events of the previous night. But that changed the moment Hana and his mom began to descend the stairs.
Tae's breath caught in his throat as he saw Hana. She was wearing a stunning black dress that hugged her figure perfectly, exuding both elegance and allure. Her hair was styled elegantly, with her mom's hairpin. Tae couldn't take his eyes off her, completely mesmerized.
Tae's dad noticed his son's reaction and smirked knowingly.
Tae's Dad: "Careful, son. Don't make it too obvious. Women have a way of noticing these things and using them to their advantage."
Tae tried to compose himself, but he couldn't help the slight smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
As Tae's dad reached for his wife's hand, he kissed her knuckles with a touch of old-fashioned charm.
Tae's Dad: "Mrs. Kim, you're looking absolutely beautiful tonight."
Tae's mom blushed, a smile spreading across her face as Tae's dad led her toward the door. As they passed by Tae, his dad leaned in and whispered mischievously, "Don't take too long, Tae. Come quickly."
Tae offered his arm to Hana, still struggling to keep his composure.
"You know, Hana, you're looking pretty stunning yourself tonight. I can't seem to take my eyes off you,"
he admitted, his voice softening with sincerity.
Hana's heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushing even more at his words. She looked up at him, meeting his gaze, and saw the genuine admiration in his eyes.
It was enough to make her feel both flustered and deeply touched."
Tae... you're making me blush," she whispered, trying to hide her smile but failing miserably.
Tae chuckled softly, leaning in a little closer. "Good. You look even more beautiful when you blush."
Hana's breath caught in her throat, and she quickly looked away, trying to regain her composure.
"You really know how to flatter a girl, don't you?"
"Only when it's true," Tae replied, his tone serious now.
Tae, gently tightened his grip on her hand. "Come on, let's join my parents before they start teasing us again."
Hana nodded.
Tae and Hana walked together toward the car, their steps in sync as they moved.
When they reached the car, Tae released her hand and quickly moved to the passenger side, opening the door for Hana.
Tae: with a small, charming smile."After you, princess," he said playfully, bowing slightly as she stepped into the car.
Hana: laughed softly, appreciating his gentlemanly gesture.
"Thank you, My guard," she replied, playing along as she settled into the seat.
Tae closed the door gently and made his way around to the driver's side, sliding in and starting the engine.
The drive to the auction hall was filled with a comfortable silence, the occasional exchange of glances and smiles between them speaking louder than words.
When they arrived, Tae parked the car and quickly exited to open Hana's door once more. As she stepped out, her eyes were drawn to the grand building in front of them.
The auction hall was beautifully illuminated, the elegant structure exuding an air of sophistication and wealth.
Tae offered his arm to Hana again as they walked inside, where they were greeted by the lively buzz of conversation and the soft clinking of glasses.
The interior was just as impressive, with chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings and guests dressed in their finest attire.
Tae's parents were already mingling with the crowd. Spotting them, Tae led Hana over to where they stood, engaged in conversation with a group of well-dressed individuals.
As they approached, Tae's dad noticed them and smiled, gesturing for them to join the group."Ah, there you are!"
Tae's dad exclaimed warmly. "Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to my son, Tae, and his lovely companion, Hana."
