00:00Hello, I'm Rumi, a lonely girl in the 21st century.
00:03While being chased one day, I accidentally traveled through time to the Hosean era,
00:07and ended up living the life of Princess Mii Sion.
00:10There, I met two men.
00:12It is Jinyu, the cold-hearted prince, and romance, a man famous for his warmth.
00:16Yet, with a face identical to the person who had been chasing me in my world,
00:20please like and subscribe to experience life in the Hosean era together with me.
00:24After that, I slowly became more accustomed to life in the palace.
00:27Well, actually, it was the entire royal palace that became used to me breaking the rules every single day.
00:33And the strangest thing was, romance kept appearing around me non-stop.
00:37One time, I was lying down reading in the library, when he suddenly appeared behind me like a ghost.
00:42I'm surprised that you're also fond of reading.
00:45My gosh, don't you know how to knock?
00:47He casually sat down beside me, as if we were already close.
00:50I was just curious.
00:52Curious about what-
00:54About what my princess is reading.
00:56Who said I'm yours?
00:57Idiot.
00:58On top of that, he helped me far too much.
01:00So much that it became suspicious.
01:03One night, I injured my hand after falling into the fish pond while climbing over a wall.
01:07Romance brought medicine to my room and bandaged my wound himself.
01:11You really aren't suited to being a princess.
01:13Then, what am I suited for?
01:15Being yourself.
01:16I froze for a few seconds.
01:18Because back in my old world, no one had ever said that to me before.
01:22That's right, in that world, I existed like a ghost.
01:26No one cared who I was, or appreciated the person I truly was.
01:30But, romance wasn't the only one who had been hanging around me lately.
01:33For some reason, Jinu had started openly showing his irritation whenever he saw romance near me.
01:39One time, romance was helping me fix my hairpin, when Jinu suddenly appeared and pulled me away right in front
01:44of him.
01:45He's not simple.
01:46Stay away from him.
01:48Stay away from her.
01:50It was the first time I had ever heard Jinu's voice sound that tense.
01:54Then, some of them got into a really intense fight.
01:58And I have to step in to break it up.
02:00Oh my god, are you two kids or something?
02:03Another time, I was reading in the pavilion and ended up dozing off again.
02:07When I rubbed my eyes awake, a cloak had been draped over my shoulders.
02:10And Jinu was sitting across from me reading official documents.
02:13Have you been sitting here this whole time?
02:16Yeah, it's cold tonight.
02:17If you froze to death here, it'd be troublesome for the palace.
02:21Do you always have to say things in such a harsh way?
02:23Jinu paused for a few seconds before speaking quietly.
02:26I'm not used to comforting people.
02:28For some reason, at that moment, he looked difficult and cold.
02:32Yet, strangely captivating.
02:34And somehow, I felt an unexpected connection with this man.
02:37The king assigned me bookkeeping duties.
02:39But since I couldn't read the writing of this era, I kept accidentally signing random things on palace documents.
02:45Jinu suddenly walked over to me and said,
02:47You're supposed to hold the brush like this.
02:50Then, he reached around me from behind to guide my hand.
02:53Oh my god, his face was so close to mine.
02:55Why are you blushing?
02:56Who's blushing?
02:57It's just hot in here.
02:59Really, it's pretty cold outside.
03:01It was the first time I had ever seen him smile.
03:03A smile powerful enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat.
03:07What am I even thinking?
03:08I snapped back to my senses and quickly tried to change the subject to ease the awkwardness.
03:13Do you really hate romance that much?
03:15Jinu stayed silent for a very long time.
03:17I don't hate him.
03:18I just don't trust him.
03:19Then, Jinu told me about officials who had suddenly disappeared from the royal court.
03:24About factions secretly changing loyalties behind the emperor's back.
03:28And in the middle of all those incidents, romance's shadow was always there somewhere.
03:32He's very good at hiding things, so don't trust the version of himself he shows you.
03:38At that moment, I suddenly remembered the look in romance's eyes when he stared at the
03:42princess's portrait in his room.
03:44There had been something calculating, almost frightening about it.
03:47But romance kept getting closer to me day by day.
03:50He took me out to release floating lanterns together.
03:53It's so beautiful.
03:54He even secretly snuck me into the royal kitchen for late night snacks.
03:58Hey, are we really allowed to do this?
04:00As long as I'm protecting you, there's nothing to be afraid of.
04:04And he even taught me how to play chess.
04:05There were moments when I genuinely thought maybe I had misunderstood him.
04:09I almost even revealed my secret to him.
04:12If you had the chance to leave this place, would you go?
04:15I never truly belonged here anyway.
04:18The moment the word slipped out, I realized my mistake.
04:21So I awkwardly laughed and quickly changed the subject to cover it up.
04:25He stared at me silently for a long time before speaking in a low voice.
04:28But if you leave, my plan will fall apart.
04:32I froze.
04:33Seeing my reaction, he suddenly laughed it off.
04:36Ruffled my hair and said,
04:38Why do you look so nervous?
04:39I was just joking.
04:41That night, while I was walking down the hallway,
04:44an assassin suddenly dropped from above and lunged at me.
04:47But before his blade could reach me, another sword blocked it.
04:50It is Jinyu.
04:51Don't be afraid.
04:52I'm here.
04:54Taking the chance, I instantly kicked the assassin straight in the face.
04:58Sending him flying several meters away.
05:00Jinyu stared at me like I was an alien.
05:03We tried to capture the assassin to find out how to send him, but he managed to escape in time.
05:07Wait.
05:08Why were you here so late at night anyway?
05:10Well, I couldn't sleep.
05:12So I came out for a walk.
05:14By the way, what was that technique?
05:16I've never seen anything like it before.
05:19Ahem, it's called Taekwondo, a modern martial art from my era.
05:23Your era, what do you mean?
05:25And so, I finally decided to tell him the truth about where I came from,
05:30and how I ended up in the Hoseon world.
05:32Jinyu's eyebrows slowly furrowed together.
05:35At first, he thought I was crazy.
05:37But after I explained countless details,
05:39and answered what felt like 10,000 questions from him,
05:43Jinyu finally believed me.
05:44Though the shock still hadn't left his face.
05:47No wonder the way you speak and act is completely different from the old Mision.
05:52After that, Jinyu told me the truth about Princess Mision.
05:56She had thrown herself into the lake.
05:58Because she refused to live like a puppet inside his palace,
06:02she had fallen in love with a royal guard
06:04and refused to go along with a political marriage arrangement.
06:07A plan created by none other than Romance himself.
06:11Romance had threatened to expose her secret if she refused to marry him.
06:15He was the one who had driven her into a corner.
06:18Jinyu and I talked together through the entire night.
06:20Until at some point, we both unknowingly fell asleep beside each other.
06:25As time passed, Jinyu and I grew closer and closer.
06:28We often snuck away for secret dates.
06:30And after that time, we foolishly played in the snow together.
06:34I ended up running a fever for an entire day.
06:37Late that night, I woke up to see Jinyu changing the cold cloth on my forehead.
06:41The candlelight softened the cold expression he usually wore.
06:45Why aren't you asleep yet?
06:47Jinyu stayed silent for a few seconds before quietly saying,
06:50I was worried.
06:51I don't know why, but in that moment, my heart skipped a beat.
06:55A person as tough as him.
06:57Turns out, he could worry about someone that much.
07:00One day, Romance invited me out for a walk.
07:03While we were talking, I suddenly noticed...
07:06Jinyu standing in the distance, clenching his fist tightly, his jaw tense.
07:10Without thinking, I ran over to him.
07:13Are you jealous?
07:14Are you crazy? I don't have time for that.
07:17Oh really? Then why are your ears red?
07:20Shut up.
07:21Suddenly, I realized I had completely abandoned Romance behind me.
07:25When I turned back, his expression had already darkened.
07:29That night, he blocked my path in a dark hallway.
07:32Do you trust Crown Prince Jinyu that much?
07:35I don't understand what you mean.
07:37It was the first time I had ever seen him lose his composure.
07:41Romance stepped closer, his voice low and unsettling.
07:44Mi Sion, there's something very strange about you.
07:48Ever since that accident.
07:51Ah no, what are you talking about?
07:53You should obediently marry me and stay away from Jinyu, or else.
07:58Who knows, maybe history will repeat itself again.
08:01At that moment, I finally understood.
08:05Whether in the modern world or the ancient one, people like him were terrifyingly the same.
08:10I was genuinely frightened.
08:12Thankfully, the next day, Jinyu invited me to the Lantern Festival to help me forget everything.
08:17Fireworks filled the night sky, their reflections shimmering in his eyes.
08:22Suddenly, Jinyu turned to me and asked,
08:24In your world, did you really live all alone?
08:27I stayed quiet for a few seconds before nodding.
08:30Jinyu looked at me for a long time.
08:32Then he gently took my hand.
08:34My chest tightened for a split second.
08:36Another night, I sat alone beside the lotus pond.
08:39I drew my family portrait from memory.
08:41And before I realized it, tears were already falling.
08:45Jinyu didn't ask me anything.
08:47He simply sat down beside me.
08:49And gently pulled my head onto his shoulder.
08:52I missed them.
08:53At that moment, I finally realized something.
08:56I had started becoming afraid of leaving this place.
08:59Not because of the palace, but because of Jinyu.
09:02Suddenly, soldiers surrounded us from every direction.
09:05Arrest her?
09:06She's a fake princess.
09:08You escaped last time, but not this time.
09:12Last time?
09:13Don't tell me.
09:14You really are a venomous snake.
09:16Yes, I am.
09:18And the two of you are parasites rotting the royal palace from within.
09:22You dared impersonate a princess, which is a grave crime.
09:27And Jinyu, as your accomplice, deserves just as severe a punishment.
09:31I was about to charge at them and fight, but Jinyu grabbed my hand and pulled me away.
09:36There are too many of them.
09:38We can't win.
09:39We ran through the palace while shouts and footsteps echoed behind us in pursuit.
09:44My heart pounded harder than ever before.
09:47Suddenly, an arrow shot toward us.
09:49Without hesitation, Jinyu immediately pulled me behind him to shield me.
09:55You're hurt.
09:56Jinyu only tightened his grip on my hand.
09:59Keep running.
10:00Then, suddenly, a gate of light appeared before us.
10:03Both Jinyu and I froze in shock.
10:05I looked at him, and for the first time, I was truly afraid.
10:09I held his hand tighter.
10:11If we go through there, you might never be able to come back.
10:15Jinyu looked at me without hesitation.
10:18Then I'll go with you.
10:19And just like that, I pulled him with me as we leaped into the glowing light together.
10:24Our hands remained tightly intertwined as the endless space around us twisted and spun.
10:28I didn't know what awaited us ahead.
10:31But for the first time in my life, I no longer felt like I was completely alone.
10:35That you know what is it that I couldn't prove to be, but it's the first time.
10:35but why don't shift your feet.
10:35I am also gonna stop dating.
