&&. the escaping duo

“but, fu qin! i’ve been stuck here for all day, i can’t even go out and have dinner with you and gege!” “xiao pei, only for today, alright? i’m really busy today… in the meantime, why don’t you practice playing your pipa? or learning to sew and draw.”

oh. great. playing her pipa, sewing then drawing, why not? that might sound fun! no, it wasn’t fun to her. pei watched as her father left then pouted, she told her personal handmaiden to leave and then she would spend her whole life in this room and die alone. the handmaiden tried to comfort her but pei was too stubborn to hear her out. at the result, she was left alone in the room.

after a while, pei decided to leave her residence and wandered around, hoping that she would be able to find something interesting. that was when she bumped into a gorgeous girl who seemed to be around her age. for some reasons, she was alone, even though the girl dressed like a noble one. pei looked around then approached the girl in secret.

“psst!” she was right behind the girl.

&&. fade away

@dalsuji

back to joseon again.

the daughter of ambassador zhao sat in one place under the huge tree, sitting on the green and soft grass as she watched the maids and people passing by. it was so bored in here to the point that she had to sneak out of her place, she missed the noise outside of the palace, where there were people shouting and convincing costumers to buy fish with the cheapest price. honestly, the palace was never her favorite. if she ever had to marry someone, she wished that he would never live inside the palace.

when would father be done discussing with the korean men? pei rested her chin on her knees as she hugged her legs and maybe she was pouting.

she remembered that one day, just like this, she was alone outside waiting for her father when she spotted a girl who was around her age picking flowers near there so she approached her and befriended the girl. the girl was shy than her so she didn’t talk much but she sure did smile a lot and as they talked and got closer, they became good friends “heh.” pei smiled, good old times… she had a friend to hang out with back then but now, she was all alone.

she wondered how was that girl doing… as pei sighed, she spotted a girl walking by not too far away from her. there were people passing by as well but she stood out the most with a beautiful side profile. pei immediately stood up from her seat and almost fell down because she was sitting for so long that her legs became paralyzed.

“h-hey, you!!! hey!!! you over there!!!” she yelled with all of her strength, hoping that the girl would notice her even though all of them turned back to look at the chinese girl.

&&. am i good enough?

@dalsiwan

as usual, tea houses were one of pei’s favorite places to visit during her trip outside of the palace. in the tea house, where all kind of people would stop by and sit down to take a sip of tea and tell all kind of stories, gossiping the newest rumors they heard as well. zhao pei loved to catch up with time since she wasn’t close to anyone particular in the palace except for her family, this was the only way to help her.

as usual, she sat with another bunch of boys and girls that she befriended a while ago as they chatted and listened to the elder telling stories. that day, the glorious feat of arms of grand general im siwan was the topic. the old men said with a loud and aggressive voice even though they looked like they were about to fall sick.

im siwan, himself, at a young age, led an army and killed the enemy. he brought victory back and everyone could feel the pride of joseon. it was told that section head general im siwan came back with battle scars but he was glowing, he was their hero.

“hmph.” suddenly, a young boy shrugged. it caused the elder’s attention as well as pei’s group of friends because she was the one. “young man, what’s with that reaction?” an old man say, frowning at her. pei cocked her head to the left side and tapped her fingers on the table. “it’s nothing, you should have learned more about the history of other countries, there are thousands of stories about victory which are even scarier than this one!”

“WHAT?!” one man slapped the table and started yelling at her. “this is joseon we are talking about, joseon has a potential and talented section head general and he’s the youngest! where can you find someone else like that?!”

pei slowly picked her nose. “eh, but i bet you made up a lot of parts from that story. how could he kill 10 men in five seconds? that is impossible.”

what they didn’t know, they were drawing attention.
