Star-Crossed Lovers Of The 1850s (JJK ff)

CHAPTER 2

In the lush garden, Jungkook's effortless beauty shone like a beacon. Sunlight danced across his face, illuminating his striking features. His half-American, half-Korean heritage was evident, yet his Korean mother's influence dominated, sculpting his chiseled cheekbones, sharp jawline, and captivating eyes.

Louisa, observing from a distance, found herself entranced. Jungkook's dedication to his work was inspiring - every gesture, every movement, exuded kindness, generosity, and honesty.

As he tended to the plants, his hands moved with precision, nurturing life from the earth. The sunlight cast a golden glow on his skin, making him appear almost ethereal.

Louisa's heart fluttered, her gaze fixed on Jungkook's serene form. She felt drawn to his quiet strength, his compassion, and his unwavering commitment to his craft.

Unbeknownst to Jungkook, Louisa's admiration had been growing, fueled by his unwavering kindness and generosity. Would their paths converge, or would she remain a silent observer, captivated by his eternal beauty?

Two years ago, Jungkook came to the estate with a group of workers. He was selected for his exceptional skills and has been working here ever since. Jungkook lives in the separate quarters provided for staff, away from his parents.

The moment Louisa saw Jungkook, she was captivated. It wasn't just his handsome face, but his kind heart and gentle nature that drew her in. She loved how he worked tirelessly, always honest and dedicated.

What struck Louisa most was Jungkook's resilience. Despite facing prejudice from some people due to his mixed heritage and background 'anthics', he never complained. Instead, he continued to work with dignity and compassion.

Louisa's ideal partner was someone soft, caring, and humorous – exactly like Jungkook. She valued these qualities over dominance and control, which many girls seemed to desire.

Unfortunately, Edward, her fiancé, was the complete opposite. His controlling nature suffocated her, making her feel trapped.

Louisa's heart now belonged to Jungkook. She believed in love at first sight, and her feelings only grew stronger with time. But their social differences and her engagement to Edward complicated everything.

As she watched Jungkook work in the garden, Louisa's heart swelled. She longed to be with him, to share in his joy and passion for life.

Louisa's feelings for Jungkook had been hidden for a long time. She wished she could confess, but their social differences made it impossible. As a Catholic, she was forbidden from loving someone from the "anthics" caste.

The consequences of her feelings would be be very brutal on Jungkook if anyone got to know about her hidden desire. Here Catholics loving someone from Anthics is considered as a sin and knew very well What happened to them who committed this sin.

The main issue wasn't just societal expectations; Jungkook didn't see her in a romantic way. To him, Louisa was just "Madam," a title that felt like a barrier.

Despite this, Louisa tried to connect with Jungkook. She would talk to him, just as she did with her other workers. But Jungkook's responses were always polite and distant.

Louisa yearned for more. She wanted Jungkook to see her, truly see her, beyond her title. But every conversation left her feeling like she was just a friendly employer.

Jungkook would chat with her, sharing stories and laughter, but his eyes never sparkled with romance. Louisa's heart ached, knowing she was just a friend to him.

She remembered the days when Jungkook first arrived. His smile had captivated her, and she couldn't help but look forward to their conversations. Over time, her feelings deepened.
