Jungkook calls for Chin Hae, his voice firm and commanding. "Chin Hae," he addresses, beckoning, "I have need of you." As the courtier enters, Jungkook's gaze fixes upon him, his eyes filled with a mix of authority and curiosity. "Chin Hae, I need information. Have we crossed paths with this young woman before?" His voice carries a certainty, the question laced with an underlying demand for answers.
Chin Hae, the king's trusted advisor, respectfully responds to Jungkook's inquiry. "No, My King," he says, his voice measured and confident. "It doesn't seem that we've previously encountered this young woman. Based on our records and my personal recollection, she is not someone we have interacted with before in the kingdom." His words carry a sense of certainty, his loyalty guiding his response with unwavering devotion to the king.
Jungkook's eyes narrow, a persistent sense of familiarity echoing in his thoughts. "Chin Hae, I have the distinct feeling that I have encountered this young woman before. Despite your assurance that our records do not mention her, I cannot shake this feeling of deja vu. It's as if I somehow know her face, her presence." His voice is tinged with a mix of curiosity and bewilderment, his gaze seeking any sign of recognition in Chin Hae's expression.
Chin Hae's voice rings clear and authoritative, his tone respectful yet firm. "My King, I understand that you may sense a flicker of familiarity with this young woman," he explains, his words measured and sincere.
"However, I must reiterate that our records make no mention of a previous connection between you and Y/N. I assure you, Your Majesty, this feeling of déjà vu is unwarranted and most likely a mere figment of your imagination." His expression remains composed, his unwavering gaze locked upon his king, offering a steadfast reassurance.
Jungkook nods, acknowledging the likelihood that his perception of familiarity might have been nothing more than a fleeting illusion. "You're right, Chin Hae. It appears that my sense of recognition could have been nothing but a fleeting trick of my mind," he admits, his voice carrying a mix of chagrin and acceptance.
"Thank you for your honest assessment. It's important to me that we approach this situation with clarity and an open mind. I appreciate your counsel as always." His gaze turns thoughtful, his mind refocusing on the task at hand—locating and retrieving Y/N's stolen bracelet.

King Jungkook's castle loomed over the town, a fortress of stone that had withstood the tests of time. Its grandeur was something she had only seen in history books or movies, and now she found herself a guest within its ancient walls. The castle was a labyrinth of corridors, each lined with ornate tapestries and lit by the warm glow of flickering candles. The echo of footsteps and the occasional laughter of courtiers filled the air as they went about their duties.
