"King Seong-gye, wake up." A woman's voice called softly.
The man she called for did not even budge.
"King." She repeated with a more stern voice.
The guy finally heard the voice and turned quickly and fell of his bed.
"E-Excuse me?" He stammered.
"King, are you okay?" Her voice sounded alarmed.
"I am fine." He furrowed his eyebrows.
"Your morning bath is prepared properly for you. Please come." Her silhouette disappeared.
"What?" Kevin blinked his eyes wildly and observed the room he is in quickly.
Kevin got up and felt so confused.
If this is real, I'm going to have to go take that bath.
Kevin took big steps and lifted his head high.
Walking out the doors, he bumped into a figure.
"Eric?!" Kevin smiled widely with laughter.
"This was a prank?" He spoke English to his friend.
The guy widened his eyes and fell to the floor bowing.
"I'm sorry King, I must be punished." Kevin stared at Eric with a face.
"You're good." Kevin patted his friend, but Eric flinched.
"King, I'm sorry." Eric cried.
"Eric, it's fine." Kevin said in Korean now.
"Thank you King. If you do not mind me asking, who is Eric?" He kept his head down.
"A friend of mine, I must take a bath now." Kevin said walking away.
"You may get back up and return to your things."
"I will do my duties King." The Eric look-alike said with a bow.
Kevin did not understand what the guy said at the end, but he just knows he's alone in this situation.
He walked and walked, but the place was huge. It is a palace.
Kevin saw many people, but before he could see their faces, they would bow.
"King Seong-gye." The familiar voice from earlier called and of course, bowed.
Kevin observed that she was a woman in her late thirties.
"Your water is getting cold, should I refill it?" The lady calmly asked.
"No, I was about to go there, can you lead me the way?" Kevin asked.
"King." She looked down with her eyes.
"I do not deserve to lead you around the palace." She said.
"It is fine, I asked you to, right?" Kevin made his voice more stern.
She nodded, "You are right, King."
"Follow me." She walked slowly and exited the palace.
Dang. This palace is huge.
"King!" The Eric look-alike exclaimed.
"I was informed that Madam Hyesoo wants to have dinner with you today. Do you approve or decline?"
"Youngjae." The lady monotonously said to him.
"Yes, Miss Jaehwa." Youngjae answered.
"Please do not interrupt the King like that." Miss Jaehwa scolded.
"Sorry, I am still learning." Youngjae bowed.
Kevin nodded and Miss Jaehwa led his into a beautiful decorated sauna or something.
There were a bunch of good-looking girls in the room.
"So King, would you like to see Madam Hyesoo today?" Miss Jaehwa asked.
"Yes." Kevin answered simply.
"Then, your schedule will be tight, I am sure you still want your early free time." Miss Jaehwa said.
Kevin saw the ladies flushed embarrassedly when he turned his attention to them.
"King Seong-gye you are so handsome." A couple of them said.
"I would like to shower alone." Kevin informed.
The ladies hurriedly left the room.
When Kevin finished he saw Juyeon come in his room.
"Are you ready to go Seong-gye?" Juyeon exclaimed.
"Where?" Kevin gave an uneasy laugh.
"Where we always go because you cry so much." Juyeon teased.
Kevin went along with the act and Juyeon helped Kevin get disguised.
"You are usually so quick, you are off today." Juyeon spoke.
His face is like Juyeon, but is his name Juyeon?
"Juyeon." Kevin said.
And Juyeon looked up quickly.
Whew. Good.
"Juyeon, you are in this place too?!" Kevin spoke with relief.
"Well I came to visit, so I can deliver news." Juyeon smiled softly.
Kevin furrowed his brows because Juyeon answered that question differently.
"I will tell you after your fun time." Juyeon patted Kevin's back.
Juyeon and Kevin snuck out of the palace.
"We always do this?" Kevin asked quietly after they merged with the crowd.
"Well, I've been back at my palace for a year now, so that could be why things are unfamiliar Seong-gye." Juyeon spoke discreetly.
"Oh." Kevin said.
Juyeon led Kevin through a little shop and Juyeon turned his face with a mischievous smile.
"She still works here." Juyeon said with a elbow jab.
"Who?" Kevin stared at the girl drawing calligraphy.
Wait... she's writing in hangul..
The girl looked up at the two men and crumbled her drawing quick.
"Hello." She bowed.
Juyeon smiled with a wink and pushed Kevin close to her.
"Hello." Kevin bowed.
"I am Miran." She smiled.
"Miran is a beautiful name." Kevin said.
She speaks a little differently.
"Oh my god he looks like Kevin Moon." She whispered under her breath.
