''Ow, it hurts '' San whined as Seonghwa dabbed gently on his cheek with an alcohol absorbed marl ball.
''Well, if you would've listened to the Captain's orders ,you wouldn't be in this situation...
Sun slowly started to loom over the horizon. Light shining over a small island village-
But the landscape isn't important right now. I should get along with the story.
Our story begins with a small house, so small you could barely call it a house. Inside the house lived an old retired governor with his lovely daughter.
The man now repaired people's stuff such as clocks. They weren't rich, but they loved each other very much and tried to share the love with others as much as they could.
Time skip a bit
The (H/C) girl was tossing side to side uncomfortably on her old wooden bed as the sun cascaded through the curtains straight into her face. Her face scrunched in dismay as she pushed herself up in the bed. Finally completely awake, she rolled out of her bed.
And fell to the floor with a 'thud'.
''Ow''she whined in pain.
The calming chirping of the birds could be heard from outside.
She got her ass up and did her bed. Done with that, she opened the window and pushed her head out. The wind hit her face as she breathed in the fresh morning air.

'It's gonna be great day' she thought. She checked the clock in the corner of her tiny room. It was around 6 a.m.
She headed to a small, but clean kitchen(since she took care of the cleaning in the house)to make her father breakfast,(since she knew he wouldn't eat at all if she didn't make one).
Done with cooking, she headed off to her father's office knowing that the man is probably already awake as usual.
'Knock knock'
''Come in ''
The office was rather messy, like usually. All different kinds of cogs, screws and bolts laying on his old oak table.
Behind the desk sat her father still working on something with pinchers that looked like a old broken clock. After putting the plate with warm food on his table. She looked at him and immediately noticed the dark circles under his eyes, more evident than usual.
''Father you have to stop working so much, it's not good for your health''she said worriedly.
''I know darling, but that's how we make money''replied her father with a tired sigh.
''But I could also work as a nurse at Dr. Ballestero's place papa...You know, I know my herbs after all''said (Y/N) ,eyes gleaming hopefully.
''Listen (y/n), I know it's been your dream for many years to be a medic, but I just can't let you go there! My heart can't handle it.
I know Dr. Ballestero is a good man and a doctor, but most of them are soldiers and I've been in the military. I know very well how that kind of men behave with women especially with young ones''said the man in disgust as he thought about all those ugly and dirty men trying to touch her precious little daughter.
''But papa... I know how to defend myself-''
''Honey I might have trained you a bit in sword fighting, however these are big, bulky, military-trained men and they usually don't know when to stop and THAT is not a good combination sweetie ''he paused for a bit.
''OH and speaking of ...I have already found you a husband candidate. He's young, strong, smart and very good looking. Even though he IS in the military, he's an exception since I've known him since he was in diapers''
'' BUT PAPA-''the girl started.
''Honey I'm sure you will like him. His name is Jonathan Smith and he's already a high ranking official like me, only at the age of 23''not listening too immersed of the thought of her daughter getting married. (You are 19 in this story)
'Why do I have to get married off to some random man!?' she thought panicking.
''Also the East India's trading company is here and today they are here to celebrate their victory over some pirate ship named Midnight Mistress. And we are invited to the celebration - It's a formal dinner party on the sea. I might as well introduce you two this evening ''
He was so happy finally finding you a partner, that he didn't notice his own daughter was about to cry.
''But papa I don't have a dress for such a formal event-''she tried to reason with him.
''Oh don't worry I already bought you one. You know the one you always look at, whenever we pass by Madam Lily's shop. The dinner starts at 7 o'clock. So be back before 6''he walked off singing jollily to himself .
''Yes papa...''the girl replied softly. She turned around ,tears welling up in her eyes as she left the room.
