Tsotd - Tumblr Posts

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

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.

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.

Namjoon's Gift

1912 Word Count

Namjoon was the most nervous about his gift, he feels like it has to be the best, as he is the king. 

He handmade his gift, so the gift has even more meaning to him 

He knows the person that the eunuchs want him to give the gift to, but he also knows who the boys want him to give the gift to

And who is he to deny his boys what they want, he loves them, and what they want they get. 

So that’s partially what his thought process is when deciding who to make his future queen. 

He also had to compete against Jungkook’s gift, and he knows that JK’s gift will be a hard gift to beat. 

Today is the final day, the day where you find out who goes back home, and who goes on to the final three. Today you decide to wear a pale lilac chima, with a pale pink jeogri, the goreum being the same lilac as the chima, and the gomusin matching the jeogri. You had the cheopji that Jimin had gifted you placed delicately between the braids of your hair that Hwasa had taken her time braiding this morning. 

Everybody in the palace was nervous. It was the final day and you were silently hoping that you’d get through to the next stage. You had quickly become friends with the boys, speaking and spending time with at least one of them each day. Even Yeji was sure you were going through to the next round, but you both knew that it was likely that Seol-Hyun and Eun-bi would also be going through, you just hoped that they wouldn’t. 

Your outfit made you feel so confident, and as you walked towards the courtyard with the breeze in your hair, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of contentment along with the nerves. You kept telling yourself that if you went home today, it wouldn’t be a bad thing, you’d get to see your family again, and you even had your new puppy. But there was also a sense of sadness in your heart, that if you went home you wouldn’t get to talk to the boys every day like you had been all week, you wouldn’t have your luncheons with the Queen Dowager and her ladies, your days would feel meaningless compared to what they have been. 

Lost in your thoughts, you arrived at the courtyard entrance quicker than expected, and it took a call from your best friend Yeji to bring you back into the world. Hearing her yell, you look up at her, and see her wearing an outfit similar to your own, just with the colours the other way. This wasn’t something that you had planned, but it brought a giant smile to your lips anyway. She was wearing the jewellery gifts that she had received, much like yourself and you couldn’t help but let out a loud laugh at how similar the two of you were. 

“Are you ready for the last gift-giving ceremony?” Yeji asks, linking her arm with yours once you reached her. “Ready as I could ever be” you respond, smiling at her happy face. The two of you keep your arms latched as you walk to your spots for the final time. You walk Yeji to her spot and then walk past the two spiteful women in their spots on the way back. You hear them snicker, but you are feeling too good about yourself today to let them get to you. 

Just moments after you sat down, the guards arrived, announcing the king's arrival. This was the first time any of you were going to be seeing the King, and you couldn’t help but feel both nervous and excited. 

“Please stand for the entrance of His Royal Highness, King Kim Namjoon” the guards yelled in sync, followed by everyone listening to the command and standing. A tall man walked into the courtyard, surrounded by men in black and red uniforms. This uniform was different to any of the other uniforms that you had seen the guards wearing, the only place you had seen guards with a similar uniform was in the queen dowager’s quarters. The man himself was the most attractive man you had ever seen. He had slightly long black hair that framed his face perfectly, slightly larger brown eyes and a jawline that could cut a piece of ramen right in half. He had large shoulders and a broad chest, and his lips… His lips were plump like the pillows provided in your rooms.  This man was attractive beyond any belief. And you’re pulled from your adoration but your mother’s voice in your head telling you to bow. 

As gracefully as you can, you place yourself on your knees. Pushing your hands in front of you and putting yourself in the most respectful bow you possibly can. Little do you know that this doesn’t go unnoticed by the king himself, and he tries to smile as subtly as he can. The realisation hits him as to why his boys adore you so much. He looks across at all the other girls and see’s them on their knees, heads bowed, noticing that not even the eunuch’s favourites were bowing as respectfully as you. This brings an evident smirk to his face, which he doesn’t bother to hide. 

“Welcome to the final gift-giving ceremony” the man speaks. And before you can stop it you find yourself thinking that even his voice is attractive, but you don’t let yourself stay in that thought for too long, and you pull your attention back to the king and his words. “Thank you all for being patient with us whilst we held the interviews. After everyone has received the gifts, I will be back to announce those of you who will be going home. I sincerely hope that you have all enjoyed your time here and please accept my deepest gratitude for your attendance.” He bows his head slightly towards the crowd. 

He waits for his guards to take the stairs down first, before following them and walking over to the first lady, gifting her a box, telling her that the box was filled with his favourite cakes and sweets handmade by his cooks”. He repeats this with the next three ladies. Then it’s Yeji’s turn, and he hands her a long thin box, inside of it is a butterfly necklace, and he smiles slightly at the thought of when the boys had come in talking about you and winning you over by befriending your best friend. Even his mother had talked about you and your friendship with Yeji, so he knew that this gift to her had to mean something. 

The next two ladies were the ones he dreaded the most Seol-Hyun and Eun-Bi. They may have been the eunuch's favourites but nobody else in the palace liked them. His mother had been told by her ladies that they had heard them bullying you, even the boys had heard them bullying you. He had even heard his maids talking about them, one of them even crying after being yelled at by them. He didn’t want them in the palace any longer but he knew he had to keep his eunuchs happy in some way. And it wasn’t that the eunuchs didn’t like you, they enjoyed your presence in the palace, and the happiness it seemed to bring the palace, it was that the other ladies were of a higher class than you, and they knew that had better training. 

Walking slightly slower than he should of, he walked to their tents. Gifting them each a small hairpin with their respective family animals made out of gold. He saw their smirks as they received their gifts, and he couldn’t help but feel a sinking feeling in his stomach and a frown place itself on his lips. But that feeling changed to nerves when he knew that your tent was next. 

Arriving at your tent, he sees you bowing as low to the ground as possible once again. The frown changed to a smile in an instant. And he used his right hand to beckon to his guards to bring your gift in. The guards jumped to attention and left the courtyard, coming back moments later with a large bookcase made from rosewood. He stood to the side so that the guards could place it in front of you, and watched your reaction. 

You were confused when the king came to your tent without the guard following behind him with the trolley filled with gifts. Your anxiety filled you until you saw the King beckon his guards to do something with his right hand. And your thoughts left you again, as you thought once again at how attractive that simple movement was. Your heart filled with excitement and joy when you saw what they brought in and placed in front of you. A smile filled your face almost immediately. You adored your books, and to finally have something beautiful to put them on made your heart soar. 

“I built it myself,” the king says almost nervously “I wanted my future wife to have something that I made from hand. I am known as clumsy, so it’s also partially to show that not everything I touch, I break” he jokes.  

A laugh leaves your lips as a tear leaves your eye. “Goodness, do you not like it? I can get the guards to take it back if you don’t like it” he rambles, and you quickly rise to your feet so you stand before the man. 

“NO!” you accidentally yell, your face falling once you realise your mistake. “My sincerest apologies, I did not mean to offend His Highness by raising my voice. I love this gift, I have a mountain of books at home that are piling up like my very own mountain” you speak, trying to make the king laugh, and succeeding. The man smiles and goes to walk back to the stage, but before he can leave the tent, you call out to him “Wait!”. The man turns around, shock gracing his handsome features slightly. “Did you say future wife?” you almost whisper. 

Namjoon smirks and turns around once again, walking back to the stage. 

“Now that the gifts have been handed out, it’s time to announce who will be proceeding to the next stage. If I announce your name, you are to leave in three days, but you are to return for the royal wedding in two months. You will receive formal invites.” The king announces before receiving a piece of hanji from one of his guards. 

“ Bae Suzy”

“ Kim Si-Jeong”

“ Cho Mi-Yeon”

“Han Sun-Hwa” 

“That will be all for going home. However, I know that five people are meant to go home. Hwang Yeji, you will be staying here to accompany Seo Y/N” He speaks  “Finally, Seo Y/N, Kim Seol Hyun and Kwon Eun-Bi. The three of you are through to the final stage. However, I have already decided on my future bride. But I will not announce that until the banquet in two days. The seven of you are all invited and your attendance is compulsory. I look forward to seeing you there.” The king announces, before bowing his head slightly once more and leaving the courtyard.

But he makes sure to connect with your eyes before leaving, sending you a knowing smile.

Hey guys,

I am so sorry for not posting, when I thought my health was getting better, it wasn't so it took me a bit longer to get back on my feet. The next chapter shouldn't be too much longer and will be much longer than the blurbs. Anyways, I hope that you enjoy this! If you would like to be added to either taglist, please let me know

Another update should be up by the end of the week. I was in hospital yesterday ( they thought it was appendicitis, but now they're currently thinking that it's due to my medication, so they've added more medication...). There has also been lots of birthdays this week, but I promise there will be an extra long chapter coming out by the end of the week to make up for it!

I'm so sorry.

I have been trying so hard over the last few days to write a chapter for you, but I'm either having writers block or something comes up. I desperately want to get a chapter out for you all as you deserve it, but I'm struggling at the moment

Chapter 5 - Part 3- Royal Residences

Warnings: female identifying character, brief mentions of nudity, bullying, a heck load of fluff and clothing envy (at least for me)

Word Count: 3.8k

It was knowing that the banquet was in two days that filled you with nerves and excitement. Knowing that you were in the final three, filled you with dread and joy. On one hand, you had come to make friends with plenty of the people in the palace and not being able to see them again as easily as you had been, made your heart hurt. But on the other hand, if you weren’t chosen, you would become a concubine and would never be able to find the love that you deserved as you would be branded the king’s woman. Another thing that you knew, if you were to become a concubine, was that the women who had caused you so much annoyance and hurt in your life, would be the queen, and they would get rid of you, right to the lowest position, and you would be stuck at the bottom of the pile for the rest of your life. This scared you more than you thought it did, and as the thoughts came to your head, so did the realisation of where you were. So, you tried to distract yourself, thinking about all of the good times that you had, especially that day. You had finally met the king! 

The thought of the king brought a gentle smile to your face, a blush blanketing your already rosy cheeks. You couldn’t help but look at the bookshelf that had been placed in your apartment before you even got home. Some of your other gifts lay around it, such as your hanbok and accessories, and even some of the gifts that the Queen Dowager had gifted you during your days together. 

 *a few days before * 

Today, you were meeting with the Queen Dowager and her ladies again for a meeting. These events had quickly become something that you deeply enjoyed and looked forward to. You received a note from her this morning, letting you know that she wanted to have a separate meeting with you after the meeting, and letting you know that she wanted to have the luncheon with just you. To which you of course obliged, sending a quick letter back, alerting the Queen Dowager that you were excited and would meet her later. 

The meeting ended quicker than you had expected and before you knew it, you were back in the cherry blossom garden, in the palladium that overlooked the small lake that sat in the middle, sat across from the Queen Dowager. You had decided today that there was no better day than to wear the hanbok that she had gifted to you, allowing the both of you to reminisce on the memories of the past two weeks. You had spent plenty of time together whether it be luncheons or part of the process. You could even say that you were closer with the Queen Dowager than you were with your family members. 

“I have another gift for you, chin-aehaneun. I hope that you love it as much as I loved it. It was the wedding outfit I wore when I married Namjoon’s father.” The older woman speaks, beckoning a number of servants towards the two of you, each holding a box and placing it at your feet. Before thinking about your actions, you leapt up and moved towards the woman, throwing your arms around her. 

“eomeoni gamsahabnida, I can’t thank you enough for this, but surely it should go to the future queen?” you spoke, still hugging the woman as she hugged you back. However, at the end of the sentence she pulled back and looked at you before speaking “ttal, you have passed the interviews, and I know that you are a favourite of all of the boys, I have a feeling that you will be wearing that hanbok, should you choose to, within a few months” you couldn’t help but let the tears fill up in your eyes, never having felt as loved and welcomed as you had been the last two weeks. 

Memories of the past two weeks began to come to you one by one, each bringing a smile to your face. Remembering meeting each of the boys, from the youngest to the oldest. It didn’t matter what situation you had met them in, every time you met them, happiness overpowered wherever you were. You remembered walking through the gardens with your best friend Yeji, and wandering the library with the cat-like Yoongi. Nearly every moment that you had spent in the royal grounds was a happy one, and to think of leaving it, leaving those people, made you feel sick to your stomach. 

A knock at the door to your chambers brought you out of your memories. You quickly shook your head and stood, racing to your front door, wondering who could possibly be at your door. It wasn’t like it was late or anything, you just weren’t expecting anyone till later on, when you were expecting your best friend Yeji to arrive to sleep over. Opening up the door, you saw one of the servants that followed Kim Namjoon around, tending to his requests. He stood there in a monochrome white outfit, each piece of white clothing being a different white to the rest. In his hands, he held a large black box with gold dragon details engraved and painted onto the sides. The man was red in the face and it was a stark contrast to his outfit, the colour only returning to his face once he had placed the box down just inside the door to your chamber. “This is a gift from the King and his closest companions, they request that you wear it to the banquet in 2 days time” he tells you before bowing and retreating. You call out to Chan and Changbin hoping that one of them would be in your chamber, resting in their rooms, and to your luck, both men were in. All it took was a smile and a point to the box for them to understand what you were asking of them. 

Once the box was in your room, you eagerly opened the lid, not expecting what was inside the box. It had to be the most beautiful piece of clothing that you had ever seen, even more beautiful than the previous hanbok that you had been gifted. At the top of the box there was a crimson red jeogori, the goreum being an almost shiny golden material with dragons embroidered into the ribbon. The jeogori itself had threads of gold stitched into it, so that when the light shined onto it the right way, it was an even more stunning sight to behold.  Pulling out the jeogori out of the box, you place it carefully to the side on a spare cushion and move onto the chima, which was equally as stunning. The majority of the chima was the same gorgeous red, with gold stitched into the fabric. However, at the very bottom of the chima, there was a gold band that went all the way around and went down until the hem. On this strip of gold, there were the same dragons embroidered as part of the goreum. Tears began to well up your eyes, as you pulled the chima out of the box and noticed that there were even more items inside the box. This was the most beautiful thing you had ever received and yet the things coming out of the box seemed to be getting more and more beautiful. 

Next out of the box was a smaller box, pulling the lid off of that, there was a pair of red gomusin, with dragons painted onto the toe area of the shoes in black and gold. Tucked neatly beside them was a pair of red beoseons, a small dragon embroidered in a golden thread on the inside of each sock. Peeking into the box once again, you noticed 3 more boxes. You decided to go for the next biggest box. Repeating the same move of opening the lid and peering in. Inside this box was a jewellery set, which included earrings, rings, necklace and even a set of cheopji. The pair of cheopji each had a dragon made of gold with red gems placed where the eyes should be. The necklace was a dainty chain with a dragon head pendant hanging from it. The earrings matched the hair pins, two dragon heads, although smaller, with red gems where the eyes should be. And as you placed the ring on your pointer finger you realised that it looked like the dragon was wrapping itself around your finger, and a small giggle left your mouth. You placed all of the items into the box and moved onto the next box. 

The third box that you picked up was again, smaller than the last. Inside this one, held a small bracelet. This box however held a note inside. The note read: 

“Eolin-I, I can’t wait to welcome you into our family, wear this hanbok with pride, you deserve it. Eomma” 

The note made the tears that were gathering in your eyes, finally fall. Even the Queen Dowager had added something into the box of beautiful gifts. Your heart felt full with happiness. 

Inside the last and final box there was a norigae and another note. This note read “Chin-aehaneun, we hope that you adore our gift as much as we adore you. We all look forward to you wearing it. Sincerely, King Kim Namjoon and boys”. 

Moving the note to the side, you stared at the exquisite piece of fabrics before you, that had been crafted to form a norigae. The main ornament was a gorgeous red jasper crystal shaped into a dragon head. But there were two smaller ornaments hanging underneath it, made of a crystal like stone, engraved into butterfly shapes. This made you smile, reminding you of the conversations you had with the boys about your best friend, and her nickname. The knot that both attached to the goreum and held the ornaments was the same red and gold fabric that the hanbok was made out of. The knots that held the ornaments were rather small, but they only made to make the beauty of the ornaments stand out. And finally, the tassels that hang underneath the butterfly ornaments, were the same gold and red fabrics that were used. Everything in the box was stunning, and you couldn’t believe that you were lucky enough to be able to wear something as stunning as what was before you. 

Your heart filled with joy as your eyes fell with tears that once again fell with happiness, as you held the hanbok close to you. 

— * — * — *— * — * — *— * — * — * fast forward — * — * — *— * — * — *— * — * — *

Today was the day of the banquet. You had barely slept during the night, being filled with both nervousness and excitement. The last few days, you had been spending time with Yeji, the Queen Dowager, and secretly with the King himself, hidden away in the shelves of the library. The banquet was to begin in the early evening, and the three remaining ladies were to arrive after the King and his men. Each one would be announced one by one, and once all the ladies were in the room, the ladies would be told to come forward in turn. And finally, music would begin playing and the King would step forward and that is how the kingdom would announce who would be the new Queen. The process had been drilled into you by the Queen Dowager, who would also drop hints that it would be you. She wouldn’t let you make a single mistake, as she already saw you as her daughter, and she adored you, and despised the other two contenders. 

Within 10 minutes of being awake, one of your ladies had knocked on your door to the bedroom. With your consent, she opens the door, bows deeply towards you, and announces that she has prepared a bath for you. You smile at the woman, getting out of your pool of comfort and follow her towards the bathroom. 

The bathroom was much more different to the one you had at home. The bathroom at home was almost cold, with dark colours, and stone details. But the bathroom in this chamber was full of light and colours. The bath was built into the ground and had an outer barrier of stones around it other than where the steps into the bath were. Inside the bath, the water was almost white, and you guessed that they had probably added some milk to make the water even better for your skin. Once you got to the edge of the bath, Hwasa turned around allowing you some privacy to unrobe and get into the bath. Once you were in the bath, you noticed that there were rose petals floating around the water. You kept your hair up at Hwasa’s request, and found a ledge in the bath to sit on, and let your body sink into the water until it reached your shoulders. You let out a gentle sigh, notifying Hwasa that she could turn back around. Once she did, she made her way to the door, bowing once more before leaving. 

You sat in the bath for around 30 minutes, allowing the water to cool and calm your nerves. The realisation that your calming bath was over, was Hwasa re-entering the room along with Hyo-Seong. One handed you a robe, and the other placed a towel at the edge of the bath so that you could dry your feet once you stepped out of the bath and reduce the risk of slipping over. You pulled the robe shut around you and followed them out of the room and into the main room, where your hanbok was placed onto a wooden figure, the accessories being placed on the dressing table, and the shoes being placed next to the clothing. Makeup and other styling accessories were also placed on the dressing table, such as combs and gels to keep your hair together. You were placed into some underwear and then the robe was wrapped back around you, before you were placed into the chair. Hwasa began to comb your hair, trying not to hurt you when detangling any knots you had in your hair, whilst Hyo-Seong sat next to you, using a dye similar to the colour of your hanbok to dye your nails to match them. Once Hwasa had finished detangling and Hyo-Seong had finished one hand, they moved onto another job. Hwasa moved on to braiding your hair with multiple different braids of different types. And Hyo-Seong moved to your other hand, continuing her job. Hyo-Seong finished her job first, and moved to stand up, helping Hwasa with your hair. Once your hair was braided, with multiple intricate braids across your head, the cheopji were placed on either side of your head, piercing through one of the braids in your hair that was formed in the shape of a bun. Both ladies take a step back and admire their work with large grins on their faces, making brief eye contact with you in the mirror that was placed above the dressing table. 

Next the ladies moved onto the makeup. They used a plant ash that was used with a delicate brush to create eyeliner, defining your eyes. A slightly inky like powder that looked clumpy yet watery, was used along with a spikey looking brush, was combed along your eyelashes, elongating them, and defining them with the dark black colour. Next they used a fluffy brush along with a yeonji powder, and brushed it lightly across your cheeks, allowing them to look naturally healthy and rosey. Then they added a small amount of water and picked up another brush, swiping it across your lips, darkening them to become almost the same colour as your hanbok.

Once all the makeup was completed, they began placing the majority of your jewellery. Placing in the earrings and doing the necklace up at the back of your neck. Then they turned you around, placing the socks onto your previously cold feet. Once the socks were on they pulled you up from the seat and moved you towards the wooden figure. They took the chima off of the figure and placed it on the ground before you stepped into it. Once you had stepped into it, they pulled it up to your bust. It took you a few moments to realise that it was a dress-like chima, and you needed to put your arms through the straps. There was a slight ribbon detail at the back of the dress that allowed them to tighten the chima to fit you perfectly. Then the jeogori was placed onto your body, the sleeves reaching your wrists, and the length covering the top part of your chima. Hyo-Seong then tied up the goreum, before placing the norigae onto the ribbon of the goreum. Hwasa follows this action by placing the remaining jewellery onto your body. Finally, the shoes were placed in front of you, as both ladies took a hold of your hands allowing you to hold onto them as you balanced on one foot to put the other into the shoe. 

By this time, it was almost time to make your way to where the banquet was being held. The walk to this building would be a short 5 minute walk. So you took the moment of peace that you had to rest and admire your outfit, everything from your clothing to your jewellery to your nails to your makeup. Before you knew it, it was time for you to leave. You opened up the door to your chambers and made your way out of it, Yeji waiting for you outside of the door, dressed in a beautiful peach colour, with butterfly shaped accessories. 

“OMO!” Yeji practically screams at you.”You look like the future queen eolin-i. You look so yeppeoyo! Everyone is going to have their eyes on you all night! Gajah!”

You can't help but smile and blush at your best friend's words, as you link arms with her. The walk to the room felt like it passed in a few brief seconds with the constant chatting between you and your best friend, rather than the five minutes it took to get there. Once you arrived you noticed Eun-bi and Seol-Hyun also waiting outside of the entrance, dressed in purples and pinks. Yeji squeezed your arm before bowing ever so slightly towards the women and entering the hall. A guard dressed in all black began towards your group announcing that the king and his men were on the way and that it was tradition that the women would hide until they had entered so that they couldn't see them. With a nod, you all moved to hide behind a wall away from any peeking eyes. Once the three of you had hidden out of sight, Eun-Bi turned to you with a sneer on her face “Why on earth would you wear the royal wedding colour, and with dragon details, who do you think you are? Don’t you think you’re a bit full of yourself for someone who looks the way that you do?” Seol-Hyun laughed at the comment before adding “It’s almost like you're asking for everyone to laugh at you”. Before you had the chance to respond, the same guard who had asked you to hide appeared again, alerting you that you could now enter the room, and the order that you would be going into the room. To Seol-Hyun’s joy, she was first, followed by Eun-Bi and then you. Seol-Hyun moved towards the large doors, and waited for them to be opened. You couldn’t see what was in the room, but you could hear the claps and music as the first lady was welcomed into the room. The doors were kept open as Eun-Bi moved toward the door, and entered. The noise of music and clapping continued. 

With a breath, you took a step towards the door,  it was your time to enter the room. You kept your head high and level, and stepped into the room. You walked as elegantly as you could towards the front of the room where the other ladies were waiting. On your way to the front, you made eye contact with Yeji, sending her a small grin before moving your eyesight towards the front, before accidentally making eye contact with the Queen Dowager, who gave you a loving smile and a wink that you would have missed if you blinked. Before you knew it, you were at the front of the room, standing next to Eun-Bi, in front of the king. 

The King looked even more handsome than he did in his last ceremonial robes that he wore when handing out his gifts just two days ago. Namjoon stood up and smiled at the crowd, the crowd growing silent within moments, eagerly waiting for his announcement. 

“Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for attending the announcement banquet. Today I will be announcing my future bride, your future queen, in front of you all. I hope you all love her as much as I have begun to. Now for the announcement”. He took a few steps forward until he stood in front of the three of you. He first stood in front of Seol-Hyun. The crowd remained silent. Namjoon spoke again “Thank you for being a part of this process but you will not continue through to the next stage. Please step off to the side, someone will be along soon to talk to you about what will happen next.” He told her, before moving to Eun-Bi, who turned briefly to you, smirking at you as if to say haha I win. After this look, Namjoon also made brief eye contact with you, sending an almost hidden smile your way. “Eun-Bi, thank you. However, you also won’t be entering the next level, please join your friend to the side, someone will also be along to speak to you”. The look on her face nearly made you laugh out loud, but you held it in. Eun-Bi begrudgingly moved to the side, joining the crowd and standing next to her friend. Namjoon then moves to stand in front of you. He cautiously takes your hands in his larger ones, looks you in the eyes before looking around at the crowd. He straightens his back, and smiles before speaking “This is Lady Seo Y/N. Over the past two weeks, myself, my closest friends and even my familys have gotten to know this beautiful young woman before us. I have fallen a little more in love each day, and I would be honoured if Lady Seo would accept my request to become both the Queen and the Royal Bride”.

“Yes, My King, I accept”

Hey guys I'm incredibly sorry that I haven't posted.

So for most of November I was out of the country and my laptop was broken so it was being repaired. But once I got back I found out that they couldn't repair it so I now have to send it to Microsoft to get fixed. So I still don't have a laptop. Thank you for hanging in there and being so nice

A New Chapter?

Hey guys, now that I finally have my laptop and my life is slowly getting back on track, would you guys like another chapter? And if so, what do you guys want from the chapter?
