Upon the return of Master Choi Jintaek’s daughter, Choi Haesoo, there could only be one reason for why she had to return to the city. The sole purpose was for her to be betrothed to another in order to obtain publicity and power for Haesoo’s father. The marriage between Haesoo and mun b was purely political, and no love ever sprouted from such an arrangement despite the two getting along quite well. Eventually, a genuine friendship does indeed form within the pair's relationship, but nothing more than just that. In the midst of her complicated love affair with another man, with whom she’s completely devoted to, Haesoo and mun b planned to have their engagement revoked for the best interests of each other despite their families objections.

She doesn't like you. In fact, she doesn't like anyone. She certainly does not know you.
However, succumbing to the weight of peer pressure, Min Chaerin concocted a fictional character, someone she purportedly harbors an immense crush on. With intricate detail, she fabricated the persona: your traits, appearance, and all.
Only to find out that you actually exist.
Chaos ensues.

Minkwon would very much like to keep his limbs attached to his body. And he'd very much like to have his head on his shoulders. He knows what things look like from the outside. What people are whispering to each other behind raised hands, eyes as sharp as daggers and watching his every move around Lady Oh Jiyeon. He hates it. Hates every single word they whisper, every look they throw their way. She's his duty. A debt he has to pay. A life kept safe for a life he failed to protect. Maybe he should give the world something else to talk about, really. Get himself involved in a different kind of scandal, just so he could breathe. Long story short, the proposal is simple: it's only physical. Just a way to divert people's attention. Because he has to try, no matter how much deeper he is digging his own grave every time he seeks you out.

It was clear from the moment you two bumped into each other that some people carried ghosts with them, wherever they went. Everybody had their thing, right?

At first, you were all in on the marriage of your sister and Park Minkwon, a man from a lower class than her. But she had been so happy with him, so in love. And he had adored her, had worshiped the ground she had been walking on. That was, until he had killed her. It was all his fault. His fault for getting her pregnant. His fault for letting her try and keep the baby. You would never forgive him for that and you would make sure he remembered, every step of the way. For every second of his god damn life. Whenever the two of you meet, you end up fighting. With words, with fists. But why does it seem as if he's welcoming it with open arms? Could it be that the pain of losing her is just as fresh inside of him as it is inside of you?

Jeonghui is someone that is met by chance. He lingers in dark corners of taverns alone, he sometimes visits gibangs, but most of the time, he's wandering from town to town. The two of you met in one of these chance encounters, you were seemingly intrigued by the man in dark colors nursing a glass of sake. While he didn't say much during this initial meeting, the two of you had more opportunities to speak. The cold facade melted away in these discussions, revealing an introspective and intelligent man with an appreciation for art. And it helped that he was a handsome young man. You were falling more and more for the mysterious man, but he wasn't there to catch you. You confessed your feelings to him and you watched as his brows furrowed, making him look almost annoyed that you felt a childish crush on him. "I'm sorry, I don't understand...why?"

the king
- gender: male or female
- age: any
- class: yangban or jungin
- relationship: client/"sponsor", see notes
- genre: drama
- notes: despite the title, there's no specific gender in mind for this connection. muse a is a wealthy person who is willingly funding jeonghui as he investigates his father's murder - can be in the form of allowing jeonghui to reside in their residence or paying for him to rent a room for as long as he needs.

Upon hearing whispers around the capital about a mercenary looking for work, muse A took it upon themselves to seek the man out and inquire about his services. "Mercenary" is too simple of a term for the extent of the jobs he can do; assassinations, bodyguarding, intel gathering are some of his specialties and all under the table. So, muse A offered him a job, however, he had a condition. A deed done in exchange for information about the murder of Beom Hojun, the head of the former Beom clan. The request confused muse A, but they offered what they could, even if it was very little. After Jeonghui fulfilled the job asked of him, muse A inquired about his life. Figuring muse A was someone he could trust, he told them about why he was in Joseon and his mission for revenge. The dedication the young man had to fixing the past somewhat moved you, and you offered to lend him aid in his investigation through monetary support.

a warning should always be taken into deep consideration once its been spoken, failure to heed that warning and you shall suffer the consequences.
.
bitna was careful when it came down to the people who were coming in and out of her life. she made sure to tread with careful observations, but sometimes, mistakes can happen. and mistakes could also be amended as well, but who’s to say, there aren't the ones where no amount of good deeds could truly measure up to what's been done.

“so what do I get out of this bargain?”

“.”

“surely you’re kidding──”

“hey, you use me, I use you, it’s a fair trade. just don’t catch any feelings, when it’s over you go your way and I’ll do the same, it’s only temporary, you can’t possibly die from it.”

“god knows i’m not dead, but i’ll surely bleed.”

bitna and mun b were just simply two people who were trying to run away from the responsibilities of pleasing their families temporarily. neither were going to actually abandon their duties, but sometimes, a little break away from reality would be a lovely thing to do.

already well acquainted with one another from the past, you were both comfortable enough to confine in each other about your own separate complications. friendship is one thing, but certainly, there is no doubt attraction also exists between the two. there is joy that comes with being together, and sure enough, sleeping together has already been brought up more than once.

however, neither were willing to cross the line.

but what happens when the bold question is asked, “you want to sleep with me, don’t you?” and an innocent little question actually turns into a little something more. “do you really think it would be the same once that happens?”

“sure, you’re just a friend. and friends don’t look at friends that way.”

but sure enough, the heat and passion that took place became irresistible to not acknowledge. feelings did get involved and someone did get hurt, but which one of you did?

She worries so much for fixing others, for giving her heart and soul out, but you notice she doesn't have someone to support her. In a tipsy rambling, she confesses that many days, she feels so alone. And that hurts you as well. "Miyoung, you can always come to me when you need it, okay?" Through nighttime strolls and long talks under the stars, scars of one another's pasts are healed .
