Y/N trusted her father. At least that’s what she tells herself. And it’s what she keeps telling herself day after day when each day her father disappoints her more and more. 

“I’m using this money for your future” he would say, whilst reeking of beer and stumbling through the door to their house. On particularly bad days, he would barely make eye contact with her as he tells her that his drinking was ‘all her fault’. Her father spent his days, after his fall from grace, drinking away the money that the rest of her family was trying so hard to cling onto, to hold them afloat in the noble status that they were barely a part of. 

There were few things that made her life feel just that little bit better, and that was her best friend, Hwang Yeji. Yeji had been her friend since she could remember, her own mother telling her stories of how you were practically raised by both sets of parents. There hadn't been a day that had gone by that Y/N felt loved and appreciated by her best friend.

Hwang Yeji, from the Hwang clan, was a beautiful woman, who was adored by everyone in the town. She had the warmest brown eyes that sparkled in the sun, and her hair was a similar colour to her eyes, only being lightened by the long summer days. Yeji was both taller, and skinnier than you, but she never let you feel like you were any less stunning than she was. Besides your mother, she was your biggest supporter. Pushing you to do bigger and better things with your life.

As much as she was your biggest supporter, she was also the person who worried about you the most. She despised your father, for what he was putting you and your family through, but she knew that there was nothing she could do, other than being there for you, to have a shoulder to cry on when your father spat his harsh words at her.

It was a lovely summer morning, at the beginning of June when the weather was warm, but there was still a calming breeze that swept through the streets, cooling you off as it passed. Today, Yeji had decided she wanted to drag you into the centre of town, where the hustle and bustle were found. You were donning a dark pink Chima with a cream Jeogri, your hair pinned back with a hair stick you had received for your 18th birthday, it was made of silver with a simple pink crystal, the metal details of flowers making the pin even more beautiful in your eyes.

Your white shoes made small sounds against the sandy ground, as you moved towards Yeji's house. It took a few moments for you to reach her house, and just as you were going through the gate, to enter into their garden, you walked straight into a chest. Looking up in anxiety, you see her older brother smirking down at you. a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Hyunjin! Omo! I am so sorry, I was in my head again, did I hurt you?" you quickly blurted out, as a soft pink colour swept across your face, your heart racing, worrying that you had in fact hurt the man that was stood in front of you, smiling down at your flustered state.

"Y/N! It's okay, I know what you're like, you've been bumping into me since you were 4, you never could keep your head out of the clouds could you?" he teased "Yeji will be out in a second, mother is finishing braiding her hair, as for some reason, the pabo can't do it herself" he adds. Before you could respond, he cut you off saying "Anyways, duty calls. Stay safe both of you" he finishes, but not before looking behind you. Hyunjin smiles behind you, and then at you before moving around you and out of the gate and down the street. You giggle slightly at the man's antics, he also has been a ball of energy. When you were younger, you had a crush on your best friend's big brother, I mean who wouldn't, he looked like he should be on a poster for everyone to admire. But you soon got over that crush, quickly realising that although you saw the man as attractive, the bond you had was definitely one of a sibling rather than a lover.

You heard quick yet light footsteps behind you before you felt two small and delicate hands rest on your shoulders. "Was he winding you up again?" she asked, a slight smirk on her small mouth, remembering when you told her that you had previously fancied her bother. Your face flushed again before responding "he was telling me that mother was braiding your hair, and calling you... what was it?" a smirk gracing your own lips, before carrying on "oh yeah... a pabo" you ended, looking up at your friend as a look of annoyance came onto her face. You knew she wasn't annoyed at you, rather she was annoyed at her elder sibling. The look that fell over her face next, brought memories back of when the two had been fighting and pulling pranks on each other that you soon got involved in, for both sides. You saw the same mischievous glint in her eye that you had seen in her brother's eyes just minutes before.

"I want nothing to do with whatever scheme it is you are building up in your head" you laughed, linking arms with your friend as you pulled her into the street so you could begin your mission of heading into the town centre. "spoilsport" she retorts, before beginning to pull the two of you into a skip. Smiles filled both of your faces, even as the townspeople gave the two of you quizzical looks.

"what's the plan t-" Yeji began before being cut off by shouts in the streets, as people ran through handing small pieces of hanji to passersby

"THE KING IS LOOKING FOR A QUEEN! THE SELECTION PROCESS BEGINS IN 7 DAYS" was the main sentence that was being yelled out from within the crowds "MORE INFORMATION IS AT THE TOWN HALL" others carried on

Yeji turned to you, a smile pulling at the corner of her mouth. And without. a word, she grabs your wrist, pulling you full-speed to the town hall.

Chapter Two- Taking the plunge

Before Y/N could take another breath, her feet were being pulled from underneath her as Yeji dragged her to the town hall. Laughs fall from both of their lips. Finally, Y/N falls into step with Yeji's feet, allowing her to be able to run better without twisting an ankle. It wouldn't be the first time that Y/N and Yeji had injured themselves whilst running in the town.

"Y/N hurry up!" Yeji yelled, followed by a laugh. Yeji's hand gripped Y/n's, her strength and speed overpowering Y/n's. laughter filled the air as they ran through the streets. that was until an unnoticed rock decided to make an appearance. Y/n fell first, the sound of a scuffle being heard within the walls of the shop-filled street. A yelp soon follows, and then the sound of something dragging against the sand-covered road follows. Another yelp is soon heard, but softer. Y/N had fallen and as she was holding onto Yeji's hand, she had been dragged along accidentally. As the weight of Y/n's hand fell from Yeji's, she fell forward, her body falling to the ground. Yeji fell onto the floor, saving her head from hitting the floor by placing her hands on the ground first. People around them began rushing towards them, well towards Yeji, making sure that the beauty of the town wasn't harmed. A whimper leaves Yeji's lips as she holds onto her wrist. A young man whose name neither could remember, helped the young woman to stand up, before her in the direction of the medical room, hidden just inside the town hall at the end of the street. As people began to leave, they noticed Y/n's body laying quietly on the floor. Sand and dust still fall in the air around them. People stood there, staring at the recently turned adult, laying on the floor in a heap. It took for some muttering and parting of the crowd for someone to finally go up to her.

it was Hyunjin, Yeji's older brother. His hands gently shook Y/n's shoulder, trying to shake the woman out of the shocked state she was laying in. "Y/n, can you hear me? Can you get up?" He asks, worry filling his voice. A small mumble is heard before any movement is seen. Y/n tries to push herself up off of the ground, before whimpering and falling back onto the floor. Hyunjin sighs lightly, before turning, glaring at the staring bystanders, before calling out to his friends "Chan, Changbin, Felix" he begins "Grab the rest of the boys, my little sister needs help" he finishes. A blush blankets y/n's face remembering her crush on the elder boy, and the fact that he just called her his little sister. Y/n knew that those words should hurt her, but instead, it's what shook her out of her feelings of love for the elder boy. it hit her all at once, that the only feelings she had for the helpful man before her, were the love of a little sibling to an older sibling.

"Hyun-" Y/n managed to mutter out before Hyunjin stopped her, reminding her once again to call him Oppa. "Oppa" y/n restarted "everyone's looking" she carried on "I'm so embarrassed" she finally finished. "Don't worry, the boys are coming right now, we're going to help you. Do you think that you can stand?" he asks. Y/n shakes her head, pointing to her already red ankle that was beginning to swell underneath her chima. Hyunjin winces looking at the injury. A gentle hand is placed on her head, patting her head gently, making her feel calm. she looks up, into the eyes of the person affectionately patting her head and looked into the eyes of Hyunjin's best friend Minho, and if y/n were to look just behind the man, she would see the rest of their friendship group looking onto the scene with worry in their eyes.

"Chan and Changbin... you remember them right?" the brown-haired man asked, y/n nodded in response. a small smile gripping the older man's lips as he carries on his sentence "They're going to help you up, and then, you see that cart just over there?" a small hum of a response from the woman lets the man carry on "were going to gently place you into that, and then take you to the medical room. normally we would help you walk, but judging by that ankle, it doesn't look like a good idea for you to walk on it before the physician sees you"

They were right, it definitely wasn't a good idea for you to walk on that ankle. The physician diagnosed her with a sprained ankle, wrapping it tightly in bandages and sternly telling her to try not to walk on it for a while. Of course, all of the boys that were waiting outside the room, made sure you stayed true to your word, helping you heal. You met again with Yeji later, laughing when you saw her wrist wrapped the same way as your ankle.

A sigh of a laugh, left y/n's lips as she remembers the memory. The wind blew in her face, making her feel as if she was on top of the world. Within a few minutes, they both arrived in front of the town hall. Many people having had the same idea as them, standing in front of a board, holding many different flyers, all holding the word 'King' on them. Y/n's eyes glitter across the words trying to work out what this all meant.

A feeling of anxiety and a slight bit of fear filled her body as she read what the hanji said. The King was looking for a wife, this she already knew. But every woman from a noble family and upwards had to apply for it, failure to do so would mean that the Kingdom's officers would bring the family out and strip them of their pride in front of their town. Your heart sank, as you realised that you would have to partake in this.

A man dressed in a blue and white hanbok, with dark brown hair, warm brown eyes and plump pink lips, walked into the square where the hall sat.

"Annyeong haseyo. Kim Seokjin imnida" the handsome man began, his eyes falling onto the crowd. Your eyes briefly connected before he looked away. "I am the Supreme Commissioner. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be my face you see, although I'm sure that the majority of you have seen enough announcements in the town square to know who the usual person is" he carries on, his laughter filling the air, making you laugh under your breath at the noise.

"However, due to the circumstances, the responsibility has fallen onto my shoulders. And it is my job to announce to this town and a few of the surrounding villages and towns, to announce that the King has begun his search for his Queen. Any woman between the ages of 18 and 24 from a noble of higher status is required to begin the process of application to become the royal bride." he tells the crowd, his eyes scanning them all again. "Failure to do so will result in the family that refused the process of application, to be publicly humiliated and lose all titles they may hold, in front of everyone" he stops for a breath "and the King". The rumbles of chatter that had filled the square fell silent at the mention of the King.

The King wasn't a bad man, far from it. Although he was feared throughout the country, for his war tactics and victories, he was also known for being kind to his loyal court officers. The man was also known to have a close-knit group of advisors. However, there were rumours about the advisors, and the relationship they had with the great King. You never took the rumours seriously. The relationship that they had, it had nothing to do with you, so you never spent too much thought or energy on the rumours. "Applications must have been started within 6 days, and the process begins on the 7th day".

The noise within the crowd began again, mumbles from men, giggles from women, questions beginning to fall from children's lips. The voices of the crowd are silenced again when Seokjin continues his speech, "I wish you all good luck, and hope to see many of you at the procession", his speech finished with a wink to the crowd before turning and leaving the podium from which he stood on.

Yeji turns to you with a bright smile gracing her glowing skin. Excitement is clear on all of her features. She quickly takes your hands in her own soft ones. She looks into your eyes, her excitement dulling slightly when she sees the anxiety that is filling up your eyes. "This could be a good thing, it could solve some of your family money problems," she said, squeezing your hands in comfort. "or it could make it worse" you retorted, a frown pulling at the corners of your mouth.

Yeji could understand where you were coming from, growing up with you, she had seen your family go from strength to strength and then fall, nearly falling to a lower class, meaning she would lose her best friend, due to the distaste of classes mixing together. A small feeling of joy filled her when she was told that your family was still within the band of a noble. Deep inside she knew that even if your family fell even further from grace, she would never let you go, you were her best friend, practically a sister to her.

"It's not like either of us has a choice," she says a frown gracing her once happy features "but, this is something we need to do. For our families, for our country, for our King. We need to take the plunge" she says before taking your hand and pulling you towards the men holding the application papers.

CHAPTER FOUR

Hello to everyone who is interested in the story of 'The Seal of the Dragon' (TSOFTD), I am working on chapter four, trying to make this chapter the best one, especially after the amount of positive feedback I have received.

I wanted to post a few more chapters today, but I haven't even been able to finish chapter 4, however, if I finish the chapter tonight before I inevitably fall asleep (the heat has been keeping me up till 5:30 am in the UK) early, the chapter will be posted. BUT I am hoping that I will be able to post the next chapter, maybe even the next two, tomorrow.

I hope you bear with me and that you enjoy the chapter once it's been released.

Stay safe, stay hydrated and wear a seatbelt.

Posting Schedule

So, you guys, when do you think I should post?

A) Once a week?

B) Every other day?

C)Once every four days?

D)Other?

Another BIG question for you all!

Should i include my puppy as a character in the story. Still as a puppy, but just involve her in it. Let me know what you think!

So my aim when writing TSOTD was for it to be as historical as possible, with creative leaneancy (sp?) for the plot. I'm taking some time, for this chapter, to make sure it's historically accurate as history is something I deeply love, and it is something I think should be appreciated.

I am working on the next chapter, but life is hectic as well, so I hope you all enjoy the next chapter

There will be small blurbs following this for the next few days, letting you know what the gifts they receive from each of the boys, each boy getting their own blurb.

"Your father?"

“Indeed, my Queen” you started, taking a slow breath, trying to work up the courage to discuss your father with the intrigued woman in front of you. “My father used to be a good man. A kind man even. But then we lost a lot of money in one go, and he turned to drink. He would waste away the money we did have every night, and when he would come home…” you felt your eyes begin to water, but you couldn’t allow yourself to cry in front of the Queen Dowager. “The night before I left to begin this process, my father attacked me for the first time” you tried carrying on. The look on the woman’s face turned from intrigue to horror within seconds, flashes of anger passing through her eyes, which she tried to hide away from you with quick blinks. 

“He attacked you?” The Dowager responded, trying to keep her voice stable, not wanting to make you more upset than you already clearly were.

“I had come home with the application and had told him that all eligible ladies had to apply. He did not want me to. He knew the money he used on drinking would have to go towards the preparations, and he wasn’t happy with that. I feel I may have aggravated him slightly however, he had told me that I wasn’t permitted to apply for this process, and I told him that he had no say in it, that the king himself requested it, and the repercussions that we would face if we didn't. And he quickly fell silent in anger. My mother on the other hand quickly began preparations, trying to raise my confidence in myself. We were meant to have dinner that night with a family we were friends with, my best friend, she's even here, as part of the process." you began your story

"She's here?" the Queen Dowager probed

"Hwang Yeji, my Queen" you responded. The Queen Dowager nodded in recognition. Her silence queuing you to speak once again

"so my mother had sent me to my room to begin sorting out my hair and readjusting my clothes for dinner. And that is what I had started doing when I heard a knock on the door. I stupidly assumed it was just my mother, as she's the only one usually to knock on my door. My father usually only spoke to me in distaste, blaming me for his drinking, that it was all my fault, and that he was using this money for my future. I still don't know what he meant by that" you carried on, letting out a dry laugh. The Queen Dowager showed a tight smile.

"It was never your fault. I hope you know that" she told you.

"You sound like my eomma," you told the older woman, looking at her and giving her a small smile, the dowager responding with a similar smile. A small silence passed again, letting you carry on your story.

"Anyways, he had stormed in, his voice was this weird level where it wasn't yelling but it wasn't speaking at a normal decibel. I remember every word he told me that night. Every. Single. One." the tears welling in your eyes again. "how dare you tell me that I have no choice in this matter, I am the parent, not you, DO NOT treat me as a child" 

Remember to take a breath a voice inside you reminded you. So you took a deep breath, continuing your story "He grabbed what was left of the braids that were still in, and yanked on them slightly, and then he yanked it even further and threw me to the floor by my hair" your voice wavered as you began to cry. but you carried on "He began yelling "I am the man of this house" he had yelled in my face" you wipe a tear that had made its way to your chin "and then he continued "I make the rules, not a fat little girl who won't even make it past the first stage" and then his voice returned to normal before he grabbed my hair and told me the thing that hurt the most" more tears fell down your face, you couldn't even look at the Dowager. "He grabbed my hair for the final time and got so close to my face I could smell the beer that he had drunk earlier in the day and said "I wish you were never born, you should have died, not your sister. You're a disgrace" and then he shoved my head into the ground again"

"But, no matter what he has done, he is still my father. I still love him, despite his aggression towards me. At the end of the day, I have always wanted him to tell me that he was proud of me, though I know that will never happen. I just hope that by getting this far, by doing this much, maybe just maybe, he will be proud of me, even if he doesn't say so" you finished. You heard the Dowager taking a deep breath and sniffing slightly, trying to subtly wipe away the tears that had fallen during your story. She turned towards you more and took your hands in her own. A knowing smile on her lips. "I went through a similar thing to yourself before I became the Queen," she told you "my father was a heavy drinker, and although we didn't lose our money, he just didn't treat me the way he treated my siblings. He would always tell me when others couldn't hear that I was a disappointment and that anything that went wrong for our family was my fault" her story began. You could almost picture the woman in front of you, younger and looking the same way you had just weeks before.

"He never physically abused me, the dressers I had would have seen it and reported it to my mother, who would have been beyond furious with my father. My mother never knew about what he told me on a daily basis either. At least that's what I tell myself, it's the only way I can heal" her story carried on, "But when Namjoon could speak, he would always run up to me and call me the 'Bestest eomma in the world' and it was always he kind words that made me so happy and allowed me to slowly heal. Healing is a slow process that only you and time can heal. You are worth more than what your father told you and I hold hope for you and what you can do in the future. I almost see me in you" her words spilt out of her mouth, her hands still holding yours tightly in her own. “Would you like to join a luncheon between my ladies and me tomorrow afternoon?” the Queen Dowager suddenly blurted out. 

“Me?” You responded quickly, shock evident on your face at the Dowager’s question. “Are you questioning me?” the Dowager retorted “Of course not!” You quickly responded “I just cannot believe that you want me to attend an event as prestigious as a luncheon between the Dowager and her ladies. It is an event well spoken of throughout the kingdom” you explained. 

“My dear I was only jesting. I can understand your shock” she laughed “Meet my guards, any one of the four, and don’t worry, I’ll have someone write their names down for you, in front of my apartment tomorrow, they will bring you to the luncheon. Wear something purple, chin-aehaneun, I truly believe that it is to be your colour” she said. “Now, let us finish our tea before dinner is to be served” she grinned, the happy twinkle back in her eyes. She guides your hands back to your teacup and lets go of them once they reached where she wanted. You smiled back, lifting your teacup to your lips, letting the sweet liquid ease down your throat. This had to be the best tea that you had ever had the pleasure of drinking. You look around you, finally taking in the beauty that surrounded you, allowing a content sigh to leave your lips.

Anxiety ran through you again the next day when you were ready and leaving your apartment to find the Queen Dowager’s guard. Once again, it took only a few minutes to arrive at the Dowager’s apartment. This time, you walked past her personal garden and to the front of her apartment. And when you did, you saw two people, one man and one woman, both beautiful. 

Before you could reach the beautiful people ahead of you, you heard a voice that immediately changed your mood. 

“Don’t you think it’s a bit desperate to be hanging around the Dowager’s apartment?” Kwon Eun-Bi snarled. 

“As if she would want to even be in your presence” Kim Seol-Hyun continued.

What none of you realised, however, was that the two guards you had previously been approaching, had been listening in to the conversation. And that they would definitely be relaying this to their boss, the Dowager. 

“As fun as this conversation is, I’m afraid I have someplace to be. If you’ll excuse me” You respond, keeping your voice calm and composed despite the anxiety heightening inside your mind and body. 

“Oh please, be our guest” they responded sarcastically. Pretending to be letting you go from their conversation. You begin to move away from them, truly thinking that they were letting you go. But before you could even take two steps forward, one of the ‘lovely’ ladies had stuck their foot out, tripping you over. Seeing you on the floor, they giggled and walked off.

Seeing that the two ladies had finally walked off, the two other people there, ran towards you on the ground. 

“Lady Seo! Are you okay?” A female voice said, making you look up from your place on the floor. Entranced by her beauty, you forget to respond. The woman in front of you becoming more worried about your lack of response. “Lady Seo?” She asked again shaking you out of your trance, reminding you to nod your head. Both of the people standing, let out a huff of laughter at your response to them. The woman, whose name you didn’t know, offered you her hand, and you took it, letting it help you to stand. 

“Thank you, Lady…” you spoke, hoping that she would tell you who she was, that she would take your hint. She smiled, bowing deeply to you before speaking “I am no lady, Lady Seo, my name is Kim Hyun-ah, and this is my husband Kim Hyo-Jong, but everyone calls him Dawn.” hearing his name, Dawn bows deeply with a smile on his face. 

Dawn finally speaks “We're here to bring you to the Queen Dowager’s luncheon. Would you be okay with me using this handkerchief to dust you off Lady Seo?” the man asks, waiting for your consent before doing anything. You nod slightly, a blush covering your face. The man pulls a handkerchief from his pocket and uses it to wipe off the sand and dust that had covered your chima due to your ‘fall’. It took a few moments before he had wiped it all from your clothing. Well, he had wiped most of it, not daring to go near your chest area. He passes the handkerchief to you “There is some on your chest my lady” he says. “Thank you,” you say, taking it from his hands with both of yours, trying to show your respect, not knowing their age. Using it, you wiped off the last of it, that had been laying on your chest. 

“Beautiful Lady Seo” Kim Hyun-ah speaks, a large smile covering her angelic-looking face. “Let us go,” she said, taking Dawn's hand, before briefly turning to you “And please call me Hyuna” turning back, she begins walking towards a building you had not yet been into.

The luncheon, once you had arrived, had gone very well. You had even been invited to another one the day after. This process happens for the next four days, each time, you enjoy yourself more and more, allowing yourself to open up about the subjects that mattered the most to you, to the ladies who found themselves resonating with you. On the fifth day, the Queen Dowager decided to skip the luncheon that day, and as much as you enjoyed the luncheons, you desperately wanted to revisit the cherry blossom garden that you had entered on your first day in the palace. 

So this is how you spent your day, happily pondering around the cherry blossom garden. You wore a pale pink jeogori, with a slightly darker goreum. Your chima was the same colour as your goreum, and you had a cherry blossom tree embroidered onto the back of the jeogori, your beoseon’s were white, as were your gomusin’s, though they did have the delicate detail of cherry blossoms engraved across the fabric. You even had a pale pink parasol with painted cherry blossom petals painted across it. This outfit made you feel confident and happy and you couldn’t wait to spend the day in it, walking around the most beautiful place you had ever seen. 

What you didn’t know, was that one of the kings closest men was sitting on a palladiom, painting the scenery before him, before he noticed you wandering around. And before the man had known it, he had painted you, so engrossed in you and your beauty that he didn’t notice that one of his boyfriends had wandered up behind him. 

“I hope you’ve gotten her consent to paint her nae sarang, it’s a bit creepy otherwise” the older man joked. 

“Taehyung! OMO! You made me jump!” the young man said, grateful that his paintbrush hadn’t been on the paper when he had jumped. 

“Sorry Kookie. Your painting is exquisite. You have captured a beauty, I know the other boys will appreciate the… scenery” Taehyung snickered making Jungkook blush. “Anyways, aegi, I have things to do” he grins, his smile boxy. “Maybe you can paint me in with ‘things’” he says before winking and walking off before the younger man could realise what he was on about. 

- * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * 

Whilst staring across the small lake infront of you, you registered steps heading towards you. Not wanting to be a bother to anyone and risk being kicked out of the beautiful area, you put your head down, staring at the water just ahead of you. 

“You must be one of the King’s candidates. I haven’t seen you yet. What’s your name?” the unknown man said, making you finally look up. ‘What was it with everyone in this palace being so ATTRACTIVE’ you thought to yourself. The man infront of you had deep brown hair, swept across his forehead, allowing you to see his milk chocolate brown eyes that sparkled in the sun. His jaw was as sharp as the swords that the guards around the kingdom carried. And finally, you noticed his large boxy smile, waiting happily for you to respond. 

“Indeed I am sir, Lady Seo, pleasure to meet you” you spoke, your voice surprisingly clear, and after your brief introduction, you bow deeply to the man. 

“A beautiful name for a beautiful lady, how is most comfortable for me to address you?” he asks, shocking you into silence once again. The first silence was due to his attractiveness, the second due to his words. 

“Y/N, if that pleases you my Lord” you respond, a gentle smile on your lips. 

“And how old are you… y/n” his questions continue. 

“24 sir”

“Ah. So that makes you my…” his sentence begins, a smirk working its way onto his face “noona”

His words make you cough out a breath, blush taking over every part of your face that it could. 

“If that is what my lord would prefer to call me, i can only oblige to his request” you almost stutter out, making the man throw his head back in laughter. 

“Would you like to go for a walk noona?” he asks, making the blush that had been receding, return. 

“I can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon my Lord” you respond, your words almost sounding like flirtation. 

“Please, call me Tae” he responds, offering up his arm to the shorter woman.

The two thoroughly enjoyed their walk, bonding over various topics, jokes flowing between them, laughter filling the air. They had quickly become friends. 

Before either of them knew it, nightfall had arrived and it was time for dinner in the hall once again. 

“May I accompany you to the dining hall noona?” Tae asks, turning slightly to you, waiting for your answer. 

“The dining hall? Of course you can. I have been looking forward to dinner for the last few hours.” you laughed, your tummy rumbling as a response to your words, making Tae laugh. 

“Then let’s go!” he speaks, before running with your arm still in his towards the dining hall. 

- * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * 

After every luncheon that you attended over the next three days, Taehyung met you after, taking you on tours of the palace, showing you places you couldn’t wait to see more of in detail. Your days quickly becoming filled with laughter and happiness, making you never want to go back to your home again. 

The Queen Dowager had noticed your quick friendship between the two of you, and had smiled, knowing that if you were chosen, you would fit right in.

Today was the day when the ladies would begin receiving gifts. The ladies were gathered in the small courtyard that they had been in during the first stage. Large screens between each set of cushions. On the small stage, sat two seats, one more elegant than the other. 

Standing in front of your cushions, you waited for whoever was to occupy the seats to sit in them. And while you were stuck in your thoughts, a man who you had not seen since the first stage entered, sitting in the less elegant seat on the right hand side of the stage. You bow deeply to him, before standing upright again. Seconds later the Queen Dowager was announced, and she also entered the stage, sitting on the more regal looking chair. Again you bow deeply, waiting for the confirmation that you could rest on the cushions behind you. She nods, and you let out a smile, plopping down onto the cushions.

Seokjin's Gift

487 words

Seokjin 

His heart suddenly warms when he sees the reaction to a simple pot of moisturiser. 

Then he feels confused about his reaction 

And then he’s smirking, cause he’s the one who made you smile so big

He will definitely tell the boys later on about your reaction to the boys 

Defo boasts about it 

And he will continue to boast about it for 24 hours until it's yoongi’s turn to give his gifts.

He suddenly for some reason feels attached to you

Will definitely watch your reaction over the next few days as you receive gifts from the other boys 

Is definitely the type to get excited if he notices that your smile is a fraction of a bit smaller to one of the other boys presents than it was to his.

That is until jungkook and then namjoon’s, and he knows he’s well and truly lost. 

His heart for sure beats faster when he sees you smile 

On the final day he realises he has a crush on you, and you are the one he wants to get through to the final stage, he wants you. 

He 

Wants 

You. 

Seokjin stands once again. “Today, we are gathered here for you to receive your first gift. The first gift is mine. I hope that you love your first gift as much as you love me” the man says with a wink, walking down the stairs towards a guard who had a cart with eight boxes placed on it. He started with Bae Suzy, gifting her Yeonji, repeating the process for the next few ladies, Si-Jeong, Mi-Yeon and Sun-Hwa receiving their gift with large smiles of appreciation. Yeji is next and she receives camellia oil for her gorgeous black hair. You knew that the smile on her face would be even bigger than her usual smile. The next two to receive their gifts were Seol-Hyun and Eun-Bi, who received plant ash for their eyebrows. Their high pitched giggles of fake happiness make your ears hurt. And finally, Seokjin appears in front of you. “I hear you’ve become friends with my Taehyung '' the man smirks, personally handing you your gift, waiting for you to open it. And when you do, and peak inside, you see a medium size pot of moisturiser with small golden flecks within it. The smile that covers your face, making your mouth hurt. You bow deeply, thanking the man repeatedly. You almost felt unworthy of the gift that you had just received. The gift being the most luxurious thing you had ever received and would be the most luxurious thing that would ever grace your skin. 

You knew that this was something that you would use every day, and never let another person use. This was something that was yours and only yours. You couldn't help but let the feelings of joy, happiness and warmth fill your chest at the gift you had received.

Yoongi's Gift 

795 Words

Yoongi 

Very subtly proud of his gift

He had his gifts prepared before he even met the girls who got through

But he had 3 gifts prepared for his top 3. 

Once he had met you, he knew you were going to get the best out of the three

But he had a lot of trouble choosing the other two to give the better gifts too. 

He only decided on seol-hyun and eun-bi because the eunuchs ‘liked’ them 

But after hearing stories from the other boys who had spent time you, he knew that if he was to win your favour, he would also have to gift your friend something nice, and as he only had 7 gifts prepared, and there was 8 of you, he had a new gift prepared, for yeji 

When he gives you his gift, he has the same reaction as jin 

His heart goes BOOM, fireworks exploding everywhere

Not that he’d tell anyone, he had a reputation to uphold

The very next day, it was Min Yoongi’s turn to hand out his gifts to the ladies, each one staying in the same spot that they had chosen the day before. Again, everyone waited for the Dowager and the man to arrive before they sat down. And once they had, everyone finally sat down. 

“As you all know, I am Min Yoongi, and I am sure that you know why you are all here. Today you receive my gift.” he says, a barely there smile on his pale face. His outfit is much the same as the time before. He wore a black hanbok with golden detailing of a dragon on the edges, his hair in his usual ponytail, and the mesh band covering his forehead. He looked enthralling. You couldn’t stop looking at him.Once he finishes his introductions, he makes his way down the stairs in much the same way that Jin had, although quicker. Again, they started on the furthest edge, Suzy receiving her gift of a hand held fan in black, decorated with the same golden dragon detail on his hanbok. The ladies next to her (Si-Jeong, Mi-Yeon and Sun-Hwa), all receive the same gift. Then it was Yeji, who received a dainty golden ring with the royal name engraved within the band. Seol-Hyun and Eun-bi were next, receiving a dainty gold necklace with a small golden dragon hanging off of the end of it. The looks on their faces when they received it, made it obvious that they thought they were the ‘chosen ones’. Finally it was your turn for your gift. Yoongi stood in front of you, perched comfortably on the pillows before him. 

“Lady Seo, I sincerely hope you find your gift as beautiful as yourself” he told you, handing you his gift himself. You opened the box excitedly to find the most beautiful pair of golden earrings you had ever seen. You looked up with a giant smile on your face, when something shiny caught your eyes. You noticed that Yoongi himself was wearing earrings, and when you inspected further, you noticed that they were almost identical to the ones you were just gifted. In your happiness and excitement, you nearly forgot to thank the man, so you quickly smile at the man, bowing as low as you can, and thanking him deeply and graciously for your present. He nods, and returns to his spot on the stage, taking his seat once again to watch the ladies inspect their presents further. 

Looking down at your gift, you decide what better time to wear them than the present, you were already wearing Seokjin’s moisturiser, why not wear Yoongi’s earrings. Carefully, you take out the small earrings that you had been wearing and replace them with the large yet delicate earrings that were in the box. Once on, you desperately wanted to look in the mirror, but you didn’t have anything near you that you could use. So you sat there happily, waiting to be given the instruction to go about your day again. 

Whilst waiting, someone you recognised as one of the Queen Dowagers guards approached you with a small piece of Hanji. 

“Lady Seo, 

The earrings become you chin-aehaneun. I believe the Head Directorate agrees with me. The smile on his face is one rarely seen. Please join me for a luncheon with my ladies again today. The man who gave you this letter will be waiting for you outside the courtyard should you accept my request to join me. 

And please, call me Eomma. 

Kim Eun-Ji, Queen Dowager of the Kim Empire”

You read the letter quickly, and told and nodded at the man, signalling that you would join the dowager at her luncheon once more. Today felt like a good day. 

Those who want to be added to the tag list, did you want me to only tag you in the main chapters or in the blurbs and separate parts of the story as well? Let me know!

Hobi's Blurb

Warnings: brief mentions of bullying, hints of y/n's body (size) being joked at, extreme hobi cuteness?

This isn't my best work so far as it was quite a quick one, but I enjoyed writing it for you guys nonetheless.

902 words

Hobi

Hobi is very proud of his gift

His sunshine smile shows as much, as well as the excitement he radiates 

Of course, in front of anyone but the boys, he remains as calm as possible and as professional as possible 

He has 3 favourite gifts, and only 7 gifts prepared, so again after meeting you, and hearing about you from the boys and your love for your best friend, he knows his gift for her has to be something as unique as the gift he wants to give to you. So he finds out what instrument Yeji can play, as has something prepared for her based on that 

He is the most nervous about your reaction to his gift 

He will definitely pace back and forth whilst waiting to go onto the stage to reintroduce himself and give the gifts 

The boys have to remind him that you will love his gift 

Secretly add’s something to your gift without the boys knowing 

*FLASHBACK TO THE DAY BEFORE*

After the ceremony had finished, you began to rise from your comfortable position on the small mountain of pillows you had been on. Being in the last spot, meant that all the other girls would have to walk past you. Suzy, Si-Jeong, Mi-Yeon and Sun-Hwa all sent you quick smiles, arms intertwined with each other as they walked past, holding their gifts, whispering happily between themselves. Yeji was the next person you saw, and she came to stand near you, wanting to talk to you. But before you could even open your mouth to talk to Yeji, Eun-bi and Seol-Hyun decided to make their presence known to you once more. Smirks adorned both of their petite mouths. 

“I hear the king prefers petite jewellery to large clunky pieces” the taller woman spoke. “Indeed chingu, who would like such a clunky thing, the earrings aren’t much better” the shorter retorted. 

“Like you would know what the King likes Seol-Hyun” Yeji snapped back at the taller woman

“I agree chingu, but I’m almost sure the king prefers the fuller things in life, wouldn’t you agree Eun-Bi?” You told the shorter woman, making to emphasise your words. Yeji giggled at your use of chingu, knowing you were using it to tease the other two girls, to let them know that their words had no effect on you. 

“Please, as if someone like you would know what the king wants” Eun-bi snarled back at you. 

“And I'm sure you’re much more knowledgeable than I” you started “However, as much as I would love to carry on this… conversation, i have somewhere to be. Please excuse me” You told the two, grabbing Yeji’s arm, nodding slightly at them and leaving their presence. 

“I simply must talk to you later, please meet me in my apartment after dinner?” you asked your friend. “Of course” she answered just as you reached the entrance to the courtyard, seeing the guard you had seen earlier standing there. You bow deeply towards your friend before moving off toward the guard 

After your luncheon with the Queen Dowager and a short conversation as to your small holdup, your day continued to be lovely, and you even managed to spend some time in the library, receiving multiple compliments on your earrings, building up your confidence even more. 

BACK TO THE PRESENT DAY 

“Welcome ladies, I am sure that you recognise me from your first day here” the tall man spoke, his uniform neat and his hair slicked back just right. “But if you don’t remember my name, I am Jung Hoseok, The Chief State Councillor for the Kim Empire and its kingdom”. His voice was calming yet authoritative, and you couldn’t help but stare at the handsome man before you. “Let’s begin shall we?” He asked the small group of ladies before him, all in their usual spots, his excitement beginning to show ever so slightly as he practically bounced down the stairs. The same guard as usual with the same trolley waiting full of gifts. Again the process started with Suzy, Si-Jeong, Mi-Yeon and Sun-Hwa receiving their gifts first, each receiving an invitation to a special music performance just for the four of them that night. Then it was Yeji’s turn, she received a larger box, full of sheets of music, for the piano, and a note saying there was a piano that she could use in the music hall if she missed her own. Next was Eun-Bi and Seol-Hyun, who each received a dreamcatcher in their family colours. If you could have painted a picture of their faces of almost disgust, you would have, but you didn’t have time, before Hoseok was in front of you, handing you your gift. It was a rather small box, and inside held a small wooden box with the word Mikrokosmos engraved onto it. You lift the small wooden box out of its larger one and inspect it further. It was a music box, you had only heard about these and had never seen them before. Your excitement is so large you aren’t able to hide it from your face or body language anymore. Small tears of happiness well up in your eyes as you begin turning the handle on the side and hear the melodic tunes of the song playing. Your heart has truly never felt so warm and happy as it has been these last few days. 

Jimin's gift

warnings: none

words: 743

Jimin

We all know how much Jimin loves his clothes, his hanboks always matching with his beoseons and shoes, as well as his hat matching the whole outfit. You can’t forget about the gat with the beads matching the whole outfit.

The entire palace knew that Jimin was one of the best-dressed men in the palace, hell, maybe even the kingdom 

So when it came to the gift-giving, he knew he had to do something to do with something he appreciated, clothing, fashion or accessories. 

And anyone who knew him knew that his gift would be something from one of those categories. 

Jimin was extremely excited to give his gifts to the ladies, maybe not as excited as Hoseok had been the day before, but still very excited. Again, he only had 7 gifts, so once he heard about you, he knew what he had to have made for you. And again, to win your favour eventually, he knew he would have to get something that would win your appreciation. So with one of his gifts and a quick talk to the boys who had spent more time with you, and even asking the Queen Dowager about you and her knowledge of you and your best friend. He knew his gift had to be the best he could make it to be. 

“Hello, ladies, I am sure you haven’t met me yet, so let me introduce myself” the elegant-looking man addressed the crowd in front of him. “My name is Park Jimin, the right state councillor,” he says and bows deeply towards you all. “I hope I get the chance to get to know you all a little bit better in your time here” he smiles, and you could almost kid yourself that the man looked directly at you as he said it. And as the other men had done the previous three days, he practically leapt down the stairs towards the guard with the trolley. The same process continued again, the first four ladies receiving a tiny box, although long when lengthways, full of handmade nail polishes in various shades. Then Yeji, who received a coin purse with purple butterflies embroidered onto it, making you feel shocked and happy, remembering the conversation you had with the Queen Dowager and Taehyung about your best friend and how you always called her your butterfly. And once you thought about this, you began to become confused as to why you were receiving better gifts than some of the ladies and how Yeji’s gifts were almost similar to yours. Seol-Hyun and Eun-Bi were next, receiving a similar gift to Yeji of a small embroidered purse, this time no butterflies, just embroidered with a floral pattern. 

And then it was your turn. You received a medium-sized chest with a purple butterfly made of fabric placed on top of the box. You felt a range of emotions all at once, ranging from shock to happiness. Almost too quickly, you opened the box and one of the most beautiful pieces of clothing you had ever seen sat inside. A purple Jeogori sat on the top, decorated in embroidered golden butterflies, the goreum was in a slightly lighter purple colour, accentuating the details of it all. Moving the jeogori to sit next to you, you saw a chima in the same colour as the jeogori. Tears began welling up in your eyes, happiness filling your entire body. It was plain until it reached the bottom where it had the royal seal printed continuously in a row. Moving even further into the chest there was a lilac norigae with a silken butterfly as the main detail, various shades of purple strings hanging down from it. Also in the box was a long thin box, a larger box and a pair of lilac beoseons. Taking the longer box first, you open it, there was a golden cheopji inside with a lilac butterfly made of crystals and small shining jewels engraved into the wings. Placing the delicate object back into the box, you move on to the final box, the tears falling down your face before you even realised that they were. Opening up the larger rectangle box, there was a pair of gomusin’s in the same purple colour. Golden butterflies were embroidered across the shoes, and lilac silk was attached at the front and back of the shoes to prevent blistering. This had to be the best gift you had ever received. 

Taehyung's gift

words: 583

Taehyung 

Taehyung wasn’t sure what to give to the ladies, so he went with something that he loved… jewellery. 

So he made sure to get the right gifts for the right people. 

As he was one of the people who had spent the most time with you, he knew the type of thing you would like, and he knew that he wanted you to go through to the next stage after the interview. 

He wanted to keep you in his life. 

He knew that when you wore large pieces of jewellery, you paired them with other simple pieces of jewellery. So he knew what to get you immediately after yoongi’s and jimin’s gift. 

He had been one of the first people to hear you talk about your best friend, and as he wanted you to be the chosen person, he knew to get Yeji something sweet as well. 

He couldn’t stand Seol-Hyun and Eun-Bi, but he knew that the eunuchs liked them, so he got them some “nice” gifts to appease them. 

“Welcome ladies,” the tall man said, smiling briefly in your direction. You and Taehyung had spent a lot of time together recently, him meeting you after your luncheons with the Queen Dowager and her ladies. You would both agree that you had become fast friends. “I sincerely hope that you appreciate your gift as much as we all have appreciated your presence in the palace” the man lied through his teeth, knowing that Seol-Hyun and Eun-Bi had been rude and aggressive towards their staff. 

He, like the men before him, made his way down the stairs and to the guard with the trolley. Picking up the first four gifts which held a pair of beoseon’s in their family colours and their family seal, handed it to the first four women with a small but genuine smile. Then came Yeji’s turn, who he handed a small square box, which inside held a small bracelet with a butterfly chain attached to it, a large and genuine smile on his face. With his next few steps, he was in front of the two women who he disliked and handed them a small golden band for them to wear around their wrists. The bracelets had no details, just simple gold bands. He handed them to the women, with a grimace that could be mistaken for a smile if you didn’t know better. 

Taehyung practically bounces toward you, his smile bigger than the ones he had worn for the women before you. He hands you a tiny square box, crouching down to see you open it. 

“Lady Seo” he had said as he passed you your gift “do you have another luncheon today?” he asked. You nod, before opening your gift, inside was a signet ring, with the royal seal engraved into it. You gasped in happiness, immediately slipping it onto your finger, looking back up at Taehyung. He smiles at you before speaking again “I take it that you like your gift Lady Seo” he jokes, your obvious appreciation for the gift being the smile on your face as you twirled the ring around your finger in happiness. “I do indeed Master Kim,” you told him, using the same formalities that he was using with you. “I'm glad, I shall meet you once again after the luncheon, okay?” he told you rather than asking you.  “Today, I'm going to show you the library”. Excitement fills you at the thought of the rest of your day. 

So does everyone want me to tag them in every piece or just the main chapters?

Jungkooks Gift

Words: 1571

Jungkook

He is definitely the proudest of his gift 

He had decided on his gift when Tae had told him about your childhood and something that you deeply missed from it 

And he knew his gift would absolutely win you over 

Because how couldn't it?

Unless you were allergic…

And so he definitely overthought his gift 

And on the day he was so nervous, he even blushed more than usual when the boys teased him 

Refilled with excitement from the day before, wearing the gifts you had received, the only gift not being on your person, being Hoseoks as you didn’t to risk breaking it, the gift already means so much to you. The hanbok fit you perfectly as did the accessories that went with it. The whole outfit making you feel like a princess and you knew that even if you didn’t get through to the next round that these gifts would be treasured forever. You had asked Ahn Hye-Jin, who you had quickly become friends with and now called the woman by her nickname Hwasa, to style your hair to include the cheopji you had received. The hairpin accentuated the details of the hanbok and went stunningly with the golden earrings and the ring that she had received the days before. The confidence that you felt when wearing this outfit was unmistakable. 

Walking into the courtyard, you make quick eye contact with Yeji, who sees your outfit and drops her jaw in shock. She had never seen you so confident within yourself before, and she had certainly never seen this hanbok or accessories before. You smile at your best friend and go to sit in your seat before the evil twins decided to make a comment about your clothing for the day. 

“What gives you the right to wear the royal seal on both your clothing and jewellery, who do you think you are?” the taller one started. Your confidence however was unwavering, and you simply smiled. And just as you were about to respond, you felt another presence near you, and that presence spoke. 

“What gives her the right, is the right that she’s the kingdom’s favourite. Something you could never achieve” the unknown voice speaks. Your face morphs from a smile to the same look that Yeji had given you. Trying to regain your composure, you turn to the voice, and any composure you had regained, you lost immediately. There, standing right next to you, with a smirk on his face, was one of the men you had been introduced to on the first day, alongside Hoseok, you had been introduced to Jungkook. He had a face you couldn’t forget. Your breath left you as quickly as your composure had. “Now, if you two… ladies… have finished making your unfavourable remarks, please return to your seats, the ceremony begins in a few moments. Lady Seo, please allow me to walk you to your seat” the tall man spoke, offering you his arm. 

Not having the confidence to do anything else in front of the man whose beauty was as ethereal as the men before him, you nod and slip your hand through the space he had made, and rest your hand on his bicep. With your other hand, you grasped part of your chima, not wanting it to ever get dirty, and also wanted to make sure you didn’t make a fool out of yourself and fall face first. 

Once you have sat down on the cushions for the penultimate time, Jungkook speaks again “I hope you like your gift” his voice becoming more nervous as the sentence continues “I had many conversations with many different people to try and find you the perfect gift” he tells you, bowing low to you before smiling a toothy grin and practically running to the stage. His sentence had you sat there in confusion and shock. How many people could he have possibly talked to? Nevertheless, you are brought out of your thoughts by the same voice. 

“Welcome everyone, to this gift ceremony. I sincerely hope you appreciate your gifts, and I desperately hope that I can get to know you all better” he tells the crowd, and you could swear that he looked at you when he said that, making your heart beat deeply in your chest, feeling it in your ears. “Ah!” he yells suddenly making everyone jump, including you. “I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Jeon Jungkook, I am a high councillor for the Kim Empire, pleased to make all of your acquaintances” he finally finishes and tops it all off with a small bow to the crowd.

Unlike the other boys who had walked down the stairs, or taken every other step, Jungkook just jumped off of the stage and almost bounced like a bunny towards the guard who was smiling at the man. The whole sight made a large smile fall onto your face. The happiness and easiness of the situation make your heart warm. Once Jungkook reached the guard he took the first four boxes off of the trolley. The process started once again, the first four girls receiving their gift with large genuine smiles, each receiving a stamp with their first and last names on it, making their gift personal to them. Then it was Yeji’s turn, who Jungkook handed the gift to with a smile almost as large as the one he had given you. Yeji received a rolled-up scroll, but when she opened it, she let out a small happy gasp. Inside the scroll was a detailed painting of a butterfly in purples, pinks and golds, the painting was truly a masterpiece. Then it was the ladies who he had previously supported you against’s turn, each received a very small painting of their family seal. Both receive their gifts with a frown, but do not say anything, and bow to the man. But when they look at the trolley that had been following behind Jungkook as he went down the line, and found it empty, they couldn’t help but let out a small snicker, thinking that you had been forgotten despite what Jungkook had said to them earlier.

And within seconds, Jungkook stood before her, noticing her worried glances at the empty trolley. “There is nothing for you to worry about Lady Seo, your gift is being brought by one of your dear friends, Bang Chan if I remember rightly,” he said before letting out a short but loud whistle that lasted all of around five seconds. And with that whistle, another person entered the courtyard, that person being the man that Jungkook had just mentioned. But chan was holding something that you couldn’t quite work out until he was closer. In his arms, he was holding a small puppy, that couldn’t have been any bigger than the size of your forearm. Your hands fly to your mouth in happiness, not knowing whether to stand up and retrieve the gift or not. “My gift to you Lady Seo, is the gift of a puppy, I spoke with Taehyung and he told me about a memory you had shared with him about a puppy you had as a child whose breed you didn’t know of but described it. So I had some people scour the kingdom from edge to edge to see if they could find a dog of that description, and that's when they brought back this puppy. The puppy had been neglected and left on the streets when she was found, and when she was brought back here, we found out her breed due to some studies that the library had. This happy little pup is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, she must have been imported from England and then abandoned. But judging by the description you gave Taehyung, this is similar to the dog you had as a child. I hope you love her as much as I-” he cut himself off from his ramble. He then takes the puppy from Chan’s arms and hands her to you. Sitting down on the ground before you, inviting chan to do the same. 

Once he is sat down, he gives a signal to his guards that they must have previously talked about as the guard moves to the spot where Jungkook had stood earlier when addressing them all, and telling them that they could return to their apartments. Most of the ladies do. The first four, linking arms once again, smiling and laughing as they go about their plans for the day once more. Yeji excitedly runs up to you, but noticing the puppy, she tries not to spook it and sits down gently next to you. And finally, the two spiteful women walk past, making sure to glare at the group sitting on the ground fawning over the puppy in your lap. You don’t let their glares affect you, and you happily stroke your new addition, smiling. Suddenly, your hair shoots up like a lightbulb just turned on above your head. 

“Can I name her?” You ask Jungkook, hopeful that she hasn’t been named already. 

“Of course, she is yours after all” he giggles back. 

“Luna” you state.

“Huh?” Everyone asks almost at the same time confused about your statement. 

“Her name” you smile. “Her name is Luna” you repeat, bringing the puppy up to your face and placing a small kiss on the puppy's head. 

Things are good.

I'm so sorry I didn't post namjoons blurb last night. My mum wasn't well and so I was preoccupied mentally. It'll be up within the next few days as my mum still isn't well

Hey guys, I'm really sorry I haven't updated, after my mum started getting better my health started getting worse and i had to go on medication for inflamed lungs and the medication knocked me sideways. The next blurb and chapter will be up within the next week i promise!
