Scenario:   The final bell echoes through the halls as you step out of the school gates, your shoes scraping lightly against the pavement. It’s another ordinary day, one you planned to spend lazily once you reached home. Students mill around you, laughter and shouts filling the air, blending with the hum of traffic in the distance. But as you pass the shaded trees at the corner, something strange pulls your attention—an unfamiliar figure standing unnaturally still on the other side of the road. At first, you think it’s someone cosplaying, the way his black coat drapes around him like something out of a royal portrait. Embroidered details catch the afternoon light, creating subtle glimmers against the dark fabric. His tall form is poised, almost too perfect, his shoulders squared and chin lifted as if inspecting a kingdom before him. Even from here, you can tell he’s not just handsome—he’s ethereal. Your steps slow unconsciously, and as if sensing it, his gaze flicks up to meet yours. Everything stops. His deep, dark eyes hold yours in place like an invisible thread, sharp and searching, as though he’s trying to decipher who—or what—you are. You freeze, unnerved by the weight of that gaze, the intensity lingering too long. Then, without warning, he begins walking toward you, his boots clicking rhythmically against the pavement. His movements are deliberate, every step fluid and commanding, yet somehow cautious. By the time he’s standing in front of you, he’s close enough for you to see the slight furrow in his brow. His raven-black hair falls loosely around his face, framing his sharp jawline and impossibly smooth skin. He’s beautiful—otherworldly in a way that makes him seem entirely out of place. And when he speaks, his voice carries an elegance that matches his appearance. “You there,” he says firmly, the words measured but accented by something unfamiliar, “which kingdom is this?”

His brow knits tighter at your confusion, and he straightens, suddenly looking far more serious than before. “Yes,” he repeats with careful patience, “this land. Its ruler—who is it?” You can’t help but glance around, wondering if this is some elaborate prank. There’s no one else nearby, and he doesn’t look like he’s joking. In fact, his expression makes you feel almost guilty for not knowing what he’s asking. “Uh… it’s not a kingdom,” you say slowly, watching for his reaction. “This is South Korea. And it’s… 2024.” The moment those numbers leave your mouth, something shifts in his face. His lips part slightly, and his eyes dart briefly to the streets behind you, to the bustling cars and passing students. He seems momentarily lost, processing the information with a kind of disbelief that feels far too real to be acting. “2024,” he murmurs under his breath, almost inaudibly. There’s something in the way he says it—like the weight of the year crushes something inside him. You step back, uneasy. “Hey, are you okay? You look like you’re—” “Tell me,” he interrupts, his gaze snapping back to you, focused and sharp again. “Where am I exactly? What realm have I stumbled into?” There’s desperation in his tone now, though he tries to mask it with his calm demeanor. He looks so out of place here, his coat too royal, his stance too practiced, as if he’s walked out of history itself. “You’re in Korea,” you answer carefully, not sure how else to put it. “Modern-day Korea. This isn’t… a realm or whatever you’re thinking.” His jaw tightens, and for a long moment, he simply stares at you, his eyes scanning your face for something you don’t understand. Then, as though accepting a sudden decision, he takes a step closer. “You,” he says, and though the word is simple, it feels heavier than it should. “You’ll help me.” “What?” You blink, utterly caught off guard. “Help you with what?” You ask with confusion. “You know this world,” he says firmly, as if that’s all the reason he needs. “You’ll be my guide.” He looks at you with an unwavering certainty that feels oddly commanding, as if he’s used to getting his way. “I need someone to help me understand this place, and you’re the first person I’ve found.” You gape at him, unsure how to even respond to such a request. “I can’t just—” “Please.” The word, though quiet, carries surprising sincerity. The sharpness in his tone softens, and for a moment, you see something else behind his regal facade—uncertainty, maybe even loneliness. “I’ve no one else to turn to.” Against all reason, you feel yourself relenting. There’s something about him that makes you believe he’s telling the truth, even if it sounds insane. “Fine,” you sigh, rubbing the back of your neck. “But… who even are you?” He pauses, as if considering how to answer. Then he lifts his chin slightly, that regal confidence returning. “I am Eunwoo,” he says simply, though the way he says his name makes it sound like it holds weight. “Prince of a kingdom that no longer exists in your time.” You stare at him, processing the words. “Right. Okay,” you say slowly, though your mind still swirls with disbelief. “Well, Eunwoo, welcome to the twenty-first century.” A faint smile tugs at his lips, softening his otherwise serious demeanor. “Thank you,” he murmurs, his eyes lingering on yours. You feel your heart flutter—just once—and shake the feeling away. This is going to be a long day. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months. You teach Eunwoo everything there is to know about the modern world—how to use phones, navigate crowded trains, and understand the strange complexities of technology. At first, he struggles, frustrated by how foreign everything feels, but soon enough, he adjusts. It’s almost comical watching him frown over vending machines or Google searches, but the moments spent together make you laugh more than you ever expected. Somewhere in between explaining coffee orders and showing him city lights, you notice the way he looks at you. It’s soft, lingering—his once sharp, commanding eyes now gentle when they meet yours. He listens intently whenever you talk, as though every word you say matters. And when he smiles—truly smiles—it feels like the sun breaking through clouds. Without even realizing it, he’s become a constant presence in your life, a warmth you didn’t know you needed. And just as quietly, Eunwoo has fallen for you. To him, you’re his anchor in this overwhelming world, the reason he adapted and found joy in a place that once seemed impossible. He never learned what dating was, but he didn’t need to. Every glance, every touch, every shared laugh was enough for him to understand love. One evening, as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in golds and violets, he turns to you. You’re sitting together on a quiet park bench, the city lights just beginning to blink alive. His fingers brush against yours as he clears his throat. “May I ask you something?” he says softly. You glance at him, curious. “Sure. What’s up?” Eunwoo exhales, his eyes steady as they meet yours. “Will you marry me?” His voice is calm, yet there’s a nervous vulnerability beneath it. “I’ve spent so long in this time, and all of it has been with you. I’ve no kingdom anymore, but you… you are my world.” You freeze, the words hitting you like a tidal wave. His sincerity is undeniable, his gaze unwavering as he waits for your answer. “P-Pardon? Can you repeat what you just said?” You say, your cheeks and ears turning red. Eunwoo simply smirked at the sight and leaned in, kissing him and using actions rather than words to convey his feelings. He had learned a lot from those dramas on television, ensuring their tongues were dancing as his hand slowly inched over to your crotch. He didn’t need to speak, all he needed to do was act on his desires to show how much he wanted you.
