As the blinding light faded, Tae and Hana found themselves standing in a dense forest, surrounded by towering trees and the sounds of nature. Unlike the first time, they were not surprised, their expressions calm and focused.
However, Minho and the young man were visibly shaken, their eyes wide as they took in their surroundings.
Tae: (calmly assessing the situation) "Minion, I think we've come back."
Princess Na-Rae: (nodding in agreement) "Yes, Tae. It seems we have."
The young man, still holding onto Hana's hand, looked around in confusion, his bravado faltering.
Young Man: (demanding) "Don't call my girl by weird names! And what are you two talking about?"
Tae turned to face him, his expression stern and unyielding.
Tae: (firmly) "Listen, little boy, this is the Joseon Dynasty. We're in a forest from hundreds of years ago.
I've teleported here before and returned to the present, but when I came back I came with her."
He pointed at Na-Rae, who stood by his side.
Tae: "She's Princess Na-Rae, not your girlfriend. And I'll call her whatever I want."
Minho, still trying to process what was happening, looked at Tae in disbelief.
Minho: (confused) "What are you talking about, Tae? She's not your childhood friend? You brought a princess from the Joseon Dynasty into the present?"
The young man, clearly irritated, let out a mocking laugh.
Young Man: (scoffing) "Look, Mr. Tae, or whatever you call yourself, stop with the bluffing. Enough with this magic show. I'm not in the mood for tricks-now let go of my girlfriend's hand!"
Ignoring the young man's outburst, Tae kept his grip on Hana's hand, his gaze unwavering.
Tae: (coolly) "You don't get it, do you? This isn't a trick. We've been here before, and we know exactly where we are. This place is dangerous, especially at nignt, we have to leave now."
Princess Na-Rae: (gently, but with resolve) "You need to understand. I'm not who you think I am.
This is my world, my time. You've been caught up in something much bigger than you realize."
The young man's bravado began to crack as he looked around the ancient forest, realizing that something far beyond his understanding was happening.
Young Man: (stammering) "But... this doesn't make any sense..." How is this possible?"
Before Tae could respond, the sound of distant voices and rustling leaves caught their attention. Tae's expression hardened as he recognized the approaching danger.
Tae: (urgent) "We need to move, now. This forest isn't safe, and if we're caught, things will get much worse."
Minho: (still in shock, but starting to trust Tae) "Alright, Tae. I don't fully understand, but I trust you. What do we do?"
Tae: "We need to change into Joseon Dynasty attire first. We'll head to my friend's house-it's safe for now. It's still night, so it's good that people won't see us. But there are a few guards who pretend to be asleep when they're not, so we can't afford to get caught."
Young Man: (mockingly) "You even make friends here?"
Tae: (serious) "Look, little boy, I'm not in the mood for arguing. We're leaving now. If you want to come, move along."
Young Man: (indignant) "I'm not a little boy-I'm freaking 27!"
Meanwhile, back at the auction hall...
Tae's parents, who had witnessed the four disappear in the blinding light, exchanged a glance filled with concern and understanding.
Tae's father gave a subtle nod to Jin, signaling him to continue bidding. Jin, catching the cue, kept raising his bids, determined to secure the mysterious book that Tae had been so focused on.
Eunji, however, was just as determined. Desperate to win and fulfill her father's demands, she kept raising her bids higher and higher, her anxiety growing with each round.
Tae's father, not wanting to lose the book, discreetly joined the bidding himself, adding to the escalating competition.
Sensing the tension in the room, Jin decided to act. He approached Eunji with a calm demeanor, pretending to relay a message from Tae.
Jin: "Eunji, Tae wants to speak with you outside. It's urgent."
Eunji, caught off guard and eager to hear from Tae, allowed herself to be led out of the auction hall.
As they walked, Jin gave a quick wink to Tae's father, who understood the distraction was working perfectly.
With Eunji out of the room, Tae's father intensified his efforts, confidently raising his bids until he finally secured the book.
The auctioneer's gavel struck, and the book was his.
Back in the forest...
As the group walked cautiously through the forest, Minho couldn't help but ask:
Minho: "How do you know about the guards?"
Tae: "I've been working as a palace guard here. I didn't want to be a burden to my friend's family."
After walking little further......
Tae: "First, we'll drop Na-Rae off at the palace. Then we'll head to my friend's home."
When they reached the palace, Tae gently kissed her forehead.
Minho, feeling a pang of sadness, turned his face away.
Young Man: "Hey, hey, hey! Stop right there. Until I get confirmation, don't you dare touch her."
Tae turned to him and gave a smirk.
Tae: "Take care, I'll come back tomorrow morning."
Na-Rae nodded and turn away.
