Through Time

XII

Tae-suk's POV

"We should go now, the others might already be there, waiting for us already." I suggested to Ji-ahn, as I drank most of my tea.

"Sure. Let's go. Have you paid, though?" She doubted. She seemed like she expected me to bring nothing.

"Oh wait. Almost forgot." I rushed to the bartender, and I heard her chuckling at the background about me forgetting to pay.

I was trying to search my phone to pay, but then I remembered that I'm transported back in time. Ugh. Mental facepalm.

I gave the silver bars that the headmaster gave us as allowance, since I haven't seen my "abbeoji" yet to beg for some money. "Here. Your tea was delicious."

"Ah, thank you, young man. It's made from fresh leaves. Anyway, have a good day. Thank you for coming here." The bartender said as he smiled genuinely in front of me.

I gestured Ji-Ahn to get up since we're getting out of the shop. She stood up and followed me outside.

I was about to look at my wrist for the time, but another mental facepalm. I don't have any watch since I'm on Silla. So I guessed the time. Well, the sun has already rose up. We left when the skies were still dark. So probably we left her home at 5 AM. And probably it's already 7. We're expected to arrive at the park by 8, since we needed to prepare stuff as the Queen would attend and watch how things would go.

"So..Should we go now?" She asked. She seemed excited about the event.

"Yeah, we don't want to be scolded."

"Me? But I'm a volunteer. You're the only one who's getting scolded. Haha." She looks comfortable now being with me.

I pushed her jokingly after teasing me.

"Aish, that hurts." She whined.

"That's what you get." I winked and ran.

She looked at her dress and it was full of dirt, since I pushed her and maybe her dress touched the muddy part I guess.

 "Kim..Tae..SUK, you're dead!" She ran after me.

We ran for minutes until she gave up. I was still full of strength, though.

"Tae-suk, I give up.. Let's just walk.." I walked nearer to her and I can hear her heavy breathing.

"Are you alright? Okay then. Let's go slower." I suggested and smiled. But she had her head down since she was too tired, so she didn't see my beautiful smile.

"I can't..Walk anymore..Can we rest?" She whined. This woman always whines. Ach. But I looked around and there were no chairs nor benches around.

"There are no benches to sit on. Want me to carry you ins-" She cut me halfway before I could finish my sentence.

"NO!" And she hit my shoulder jokingly.

"I thought you were tired though? You still have the power of an elephant." I laughed at her.

"Seriously. Don't make me laugh..I'm tired." She stated, trying to stop her laughter from bursting.

We walked for another 20 minutes, this time a slower walk for her to atleast get rest.

When we arrived, she already regained all of her strength. 

I saw my hyungs arranging the tables and chairs for the doctors. I immediately ran to greet them all, since I wasn't able to greet them this morning since I left early.

"Annyeo-" I was about to greet my hyungs but Suk-ho cutted me.

"Aish. Where did you even go? We were looking for you." He looked worried.

"Ah. I went to pick up Ji-ahn. It was still dark so I decided to escort her here." I scratched the back of my head.

Suddenly, I saw the headmaster coming towards my direction. I already know what will happen, so moved backward a bit.

"TAE-SUK! Where did you go again? It's just easy to ask my per-" He suddenly cutted himself as she saw Ji-ahn.

"Oh. I see you escorted the minister of war's daughter. Good job." He changed his tone from an angry one to a soft one. He congratulated me as if I really did a good job. He patted my back and left to help the other hwarangs.

I proceeded to help my hyungs. Ji ahn went to the doctors to ready the medical acupuncture. After a few hours, it was already Lunch. The sun was really directly pointing at us, it was damn hot. I feel my sweat from my long hair.

As I was lifting the boxes, I heard a man shout out loud:

"THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED!"

Author's Note

Hi All! I think I've been switching POV's too much. If you are getting confused. Please tell me. I'll try to stick with Third Person POV/Author's POV if you guys are confused.

Please also tell me if the chapters are becoming boring. I'll try to fix that as well.

Also. I made a new cover! What do you think? :)
