[Contest 2] My King
Chapter 2. The Resurrection of the Joseon Dynasty (2)
김석진
....crazy.
김석진
You want me to live here?
Seokjin's eyes widened as he gazed at the lavishly decorated interior of the mansion. The attendant who had guided him to the mansion nodded.

Seokjin's luggage will all be moved in tomorrow. He'll be staying here for about a week. I'll see you tomorrow morning. Well, rest well.
Even as he nodded, Seokjin couldn't believe that the mansion had been given to him like gold.
A gorgeous chandelier, a glass table decorated with flowers, sofas that look fluffy at first glance, a bookshelf hanging on one side, and even a staircase leading up to the upper floor in the middle.
Moreover, there were two doors on the first floor, one of which led to the kitchen. Seokjin went straight upstairs and opened the first door, which led to his personal study.
김석진
Wow...Wow!!!! This is awesome!
박지민
What the fuss is about...
김석진
What! Can't you like something? Oh. You're younger than me, so you're talking nonsense?
박지민
I never gave permission
김석진
I told you I would do it?
박지민
I don't like it.
김석진
joy.
If he's being tough, he'll be 100% unpopular.
Seokjin opened the next door and his mouth dropped open. The vibrant colors were so vibrant, it seemed as if they had all been gathered here. There was a king-size bed, a dressing table, a bookshelf, a desk, and even a terrace.
김석진
Live here?
박지민
That's a given.
김석진
...I'm sure he's crazy. Is this what you do when you become king?
박지민
Haven't you ever watched a historical drama?
김석진
I saw it. But that was a long time ago, and it's now, right? It's different.
박지민
I think it's the same, but it's too much for someone like you.
Jimin spoke sarcastically, but Seokjin ignored him and threw himself onto the bed.
김석진
Wow~~!! It's so soft
박지민
I think you should get some sleep now. There's a presentation tomorrow, and I'll probably introduce you there.
김석진
Yeah, I understand
박지민
Then I will step aside now.
Seokjin sprawled out on the bed, waving his hand in greeting. Jimin bowed and left his room. As Jimin left, Seokjin rolled over and stared at the ceiling.
It all felt like a dream, it didn't feel real.
Tomorrow, I will become king, and I will be doing the work related to that.
Seokjin fell asleep, stretched out on his back, after thinking about this and that.
The next day, VIP announced the revival of the Joseon Dynasty as his term ended, and introduced Seokjin at an official event.
As he had been informed in advance and given the script in the morning, Seok-jin declared that he would become a great king, following in the footsteps of President Yoon Jin-tae, and that he would continue democracy.
Everything went smoothly, and Seok-jin, who returned to the mansion, fell asleep right away due to extreme fatigue, but from that day on, he had to follow Yoon Jin-tae around to various places.
He wanted to be with Jimin, but like the head of security, he was incredibly busy, and with his schedule always changing, he didn't even have time to talk to Seokjin.
A week passed by in the blink of an eye, and before we knew it, the president's term was over, and Seokjin ascended to the throne.
In terms of the Republic of Korea, he was the 22nd president and the first monarch to be deposed under the newly established monarchy.
Yoon Jin-tae stepped down from the presidency and promoted Seok-jin to a position among his closest aides, citing his inexperience in handling affairs, and Seok-jin moved into a newly built, modern palace.
All of this happened in just two days.
There was a lot of talk in the world, but now, no matter what anyone says, he is the undisputed king of the Republic of Korea.
Even if it's just a scarecrow.
No one knows whether it is filled with rice at midday or with something that birds cannot peck at.
