I'm from Joseon, Young Master.
33 | The Real Story Begins [Season 1 Complete]
A few days later.
When asked if she wanted to learn Jeongguk's writing, Yeoju, without a doubt, agreed, saying it was very, very good.
So, Jungkook has been busy these past few days browsing through every local bookstore and buying Korean books for children. And he's also preparing for the new school year.
So now, there are about three or four days left until the start of the school year.
설여주
A... B... C... D... L!
전정국
Right, what's next?
설여주
Ma... Ba... Sa!
전정국
Oh- You memorized it all?
Jeongguk, who was sitting next to Yeoju and teaching her each letter, smiled happily and checked what they had learned up until the last class.
전정국
Can you tell the difference between vowels and consonants now?
설여주
yes
전정국
I learned most of the everyday vocabulary-
전정국
Now then, write your name here.
Jeongguk holds out a piece of A4 paper to Yeoju. Yeoju confidently holds the pencil and, though clumsy, writes diligently and carefully.
설여주
Seo-eul... Yeo-eo... Joo...
설여주
…….
설여주
Done!
전정국
Look where you are.
As expected, the heroine, as expected from our honor student, wrote flawlessly. Jungkook ponders this.
It seems like your handwriting is much prettier than mine, even though I started learning to write a long time ago.
전정국
Oh- Are you doing well now?
설여주
Haha... it's quite fun!
전정국
I'm glad you had fun, then again...
전정국
Jeon Jungkook. Write it down.
설여주
Jeon Jungkook…! Is that your name, Young Master…?
Jeongguk nods instead of speaking. He looks at the diligently working female lead, and his smile never seems to fade.
설여주
Okay! Is this correct...?
전정국
Yeah, well done haha
전정국
So, the page we will learn today is_
···
설여주
What we learned today was a bit difficult...
설여주
It's different than before...
전정국
Yes, it's much more difficult.
전정국
But if you keep going, you'll understand-.
전정국
Since I'm here, you can ask me anything you don't know at any time.
설여주
… That’s right. I can’t tell you how lucky I am.
The heroine, who has filled the page with dense writing until there are no gaps, lightly stretches her wrists with a proud expression.
전정국
Should I take a little break?
설여주
Yeah... my hands feel a little sore...
전정국
Looks like you put a lot of strength into your hands...
Jeongguk says, pressing the female lead's hand, which has already turned red.
전정국
If you push too hard, you may develop calluses on your fingers.
전정국
So, just apply as much force as you need, okay?
설여주
···yes!
설여주
Then let's try again...!
When the female lead carefully took her hand out of Jungkook's, and picked up the pencil again, Jungkook asked again if she was going to do it right away without stopping.
From Jungkook's perspective, seeing the female protagonist studying day and night without any hesitation_ he's worried that she might collapse.
설여주
Strength... only as much as you need!
When she holds the pencil tightly, the heroine carefully writes while controlling the strength on her own.
Jungkook, who sees the female lead working hard while muttering to herself like that, finds her just cute.
Ting ting ting, ting ting-. In the midst of all this, the sound of the door locking can be heard, and Jeongguk pricks up his ears.
As soon as the front door opened, Sumin's voice came into the living room.
이수민
Jungkook, Yeoju-!
Sumin, who had been walking quickly down the hallway while calling out the two people's names, put down the bags that were filling both hands on the table, as if she had just come back from shopping, and approached the two people.
설여주
You're here!
이수민
Sit down, sit down-ha
이수민
I have some good news to tell you.
전정국
Good news…?
Sumin swallowed with a solemn expression and carefully opened her mouth while holding one hand each of Jeongguk and Yeoju.
이수민
Yeoju…
이수민
I can now go to the same school as Jungkook!
As soon as Sumin finished speaking, Yeoju and Jungkook immediately made eye contact.
설여주
Huh... Really?!
The female protagonist, who had been holding the pencil in her hand the entire time, covered her mouth with both hands. Jungkook laughed along with her.
전정국
… That went well haha
전정국
But... the admission process...
이수민
fizzle.
이수민
This mom took care of everything herself.
Soo-min makes a secret gesture so that Yeo-ju can't see.
전정국
…?
전정국
…!
전정국
Oh, Mom, no way, did you spend money…
이수민
Shh. Mom has no comment~
이수민
Our son- don't think about anything-.
이수민
Yeoju, I should get ready for school now-ㅎ Shall we go out and buy something later?
I wonder if it's because Sumin looks more excited than Yeoju.
Hmm... I guess it's not my imagination.
설여주
Okay... haha
이수민
Then wait here for now, I'll go peel some fruit.
이수민
Let's go out and eat some fruit.
After stroking Yeoju’s head a few times, Sumin hurried to the kitchen… .
전정국
Hey… Miss Yeoju.
설여주
Yes, my lord!
Looking at the female lead who was smiling brightly, Jeongguk suppressed his laughter and continued speaking.
전정국
When you go to school… you’ll have a lot of friends.
설여주
Yes… I guess so!
전정국
So... I had no choice but to use the title...
It was a cautious part because Jeong-guk had been respecting the female protagonist's opinion that it was more comfortable to speak formally.
전정국
I think it might need to be changed a little...
설여주
… Girl, you can’t do anything when you go to school!
전정국
N...Yes?
Jeongguk was the one who was taken aback by the unexpected reaction.
설여주
Girl, please excuse me from your presence for a while...
The heroine, with a solemn expression, sits cross-legged, straightens her posture, and reaches out her hand toward Jeong-guk.
설여주
Big...
설여주
J, let's get along... Jungkook, ah!
After saying that, Jungkook sees the female lead's face turning red like a tomato and laughs inwardly.
It couldn't have been easy to even bring this up... I could clearly see that you had been practicing on your own.
The laughter was short-lived, and Jeong-guk said as he gently took the hand the female lead extended.
전정국
Okay, let's get along- Yeoju-ya
And so time passed again...
D-Day, the first day of school
전정국
Are you nervous?
설여주
… ㄴ ㅔ... not... Yeah...
Jeongguk, seeing the female protagonist's hands shaking, smiles brightly and holds her hand.
전정국
What's there to be nervous about when I'm here?
설여주
… That’s right… That’s right…!
When the female lead, who was holding Jeongguk's hand, slowly nodded as if she was gradually calming down_
전정국
Should we go now?
설여주
…yes!
Until the very end, Jeongguk's eyes were fixed on the infinitely cute female protagonist. He quickly came to his senses and took a deep breath.
전정국
let's go...!
전정국
Seol Yeo-ju, fighting!
Finally, Jeongguk whispers softly in Yeoju's ear, smiles pleasantly, holds Yeoju's hand tightly, and steps into the school gate.
Yeoju follows Jeongguk like that, smiling brightly and walking cautiously.
So, the two of them started their full-fledged school life.
If up until now it was just the beginning for the two,
In the future, the turbulent school story of Joseon-born Seol Yeo-ju and Korean high school student Jeon Jeong-guk will unfold.
Indeed… Will Seol Yeo-ju be able to navigate school life smoothly?
Curiosity about_ Season 2.
[Season 1 The End]
Hello, it's been a while since I've seen you all. It's Manggaemanggaeshi :)
First of all, while working on this collaboration with Chae-yong, I think there were a lot of awkward parts compared to when I serialized other works.
Nevertheless, thanks to your warm interest, I was honored to be included in the recommended fanfic, not to mention in the rankings :)
So, Chaeyoung and I decided to take some time to further refine and revise the story.
Because I really wanted to give you guys a more complete and at least a little more interesting piece of writing.
So, we plan to take some time in the future and come back with Season 2, which will focus on Jungkook and Yeoju's school life!
It's a long wait, but I would appreciate it if you could wait just a little longer.
I promise to come back with more fun stories in Season 2‼️
Thank you for loving Season 1🤍
Please look forward to season 2 as well💨
thank you:)
