A/N: Okay, I'm writing these Jane Austen AUs mainly for myself, but I really hope y'all are enjoying them. And, if you're unfamiliar with Jane Austen watching the film adaptations of her work is a great place to starts. There's also many films based on her work you probably didn't realize like Bridget Jones' Diary and Clueless! However, if you watch a more traditional adaptation they are usually fairly accurate to the books.

The books themselves are kind of hard to read due to how outdated the style of writing is (Austen wrote in Middle English which we can read and understand, but its takes a lot, even for someone like me who is an English major). So, for a quick study in Jane Austen, the films are great!

Also, I've changed Althea's name from Jungkook's chapter to Dorothea because it fits the time better! Sorry if that causes any confusion! I also mention a corset in this chapter, they are different from the corsets you're thinking of. They are very similar, but more comfortable and less restricting. You can look them up if you are interested in historical clothing/ Regency Era clothing.

Anyway, on with the imagine!

"Miss Cooke!" Mrs. Kim called from the entrance parlor. You dropped the duster and rushed out to the main parlor where the elder Miss Kim, a basket full of wildflowers and her hair and absolute mess. "Please help Thea dress for supper tonight. It seems she couldn't keep her composure during one simple outing."

Dorothea rolled her eyes and headed towards the room, dropping the wildflowers off on the table near the door. She seemed to have a dreamy look in her eyes. The elder sister was always prone to fantasies--both Kim sisters were in fact--but there was something different about the glaze over her eyes. If you didn't know any better, you would guess this wasn't just any morning walk.

"Oh, Miss Cooke what am I going to do with that girl? It'll be a miracle if I can find a gentleman to marry her. A gentleman is more likely to fall for a maid like you than a girl like her, even with her breeding!"

"Oh, Mrs. Kim, I'm sure that's not true," you said, ignoring Mrs. Kim's slight on your station. She hadn't meant any offense, but you still felt like you'd been punched in the stomach. "Any man would be lucky to marry either of your daughters. Now, would you like me to send for some tea? Maybe that will help you relax before we have out visitors."

"That sounds lovely, Miss Cooke."

"Oh Eliza, he was so infuriating! Insulting our sex and then suddenly changing his mind! And, I don't even know what favor he wanted to ask me!" You tightened Dorothea's corset causing the last syllable to come out a slightly higher pitch.
