In the heavenly realms, as morning unfolded with transcendent grace during the vernal embrace of spring, the heavens, adorned in a tapestry of soft hues, exhibited a breathtaking spectacle of colour that bespoke the arrival of a new celestial season.
Above, wisps of iridescent clouds meandered across the vast expanse, catching the tender glow of the just-risen sun. The sky seemed to blush in shades of pink and lavender, and a serene atmosphere enveloped the divine domain. The celestial air bore a fragrance of unearthly blossoms, a delicate perfume that spoke of eternal renewal and the timeless beauty of spring.
The radiant orb ascended, casting its golden beams upon the cosmic landscape. The light refracted through the wispy clouds, creating a play of hues that painted the heavens in an otherworldly glow. It was as if the very fabric of the firmament had been woven with threads of light and colour, creating a scene of exquisite beauty.
In the heart of one of the many divine palaces, Jacheongbi reclined upon a sumptuous round bed, draped in silken fabrics that mirrored the hues of dawn. Her presence radiated ethereal tranquillity, and a soft glow enveloped her as she lay in a peaceful slumber. The bed itself seemed to cradle her form, adorned with celestial motifs that shimmered in harmony with her divine aura.
Surrounding Jacheongbi were her devoted servants, beings of grace and beauty. Clad in flowing robes that mirrored the colours of the cosmos, they moved with a gentle reverence as they attempted to rouse their sleeping deity. The air in the chamber carried a fragrance of blooms as if the very essence of the heavens had permeated the room.
The servants, with delicate gestures, sought to awaken the Goddess from her deep slumber. Some whispered words of gentle encouragement, their voices like the soft rustling of winds. Others gently waved ethereal fans, hoping to stir the perfumed air and coax the Goddess into wakefulness.
Jacheongbi, however, remained in a serene repose, seemingly undisturbed by the efforts of her attendants. Her features bore an expression of profound peace as if she were suspended between the realms of dreams and reality. Her celestial countenance glowed with an otherworldly radiance, casting a gentle light upon the chamber.
"Your Highness, sorry for the disturbance, but you need to get up the Heavenly Emperor demands everyone's presence" Haeun tried shaking the almost passed-out lady on the bed.
"Two more minutes!" Haeun was shocked at the stubbornness, one thing she was fully aware about her Goddess was she hated being late to any event, gathering or official meetings.
"Your Highness, the Emperor-" Before she could even complete her sentence one of the pillows was tossed in her direction landing directly on her face.
"Two more minutes!" Jacheongbi whispered against the pillow in which she had buried her head because of all the commotion in the room.
'Can't even sleep peacefully, what the point of being a Goddess!'
'Goddess?'
'OH MY GOD! I AM A GODDESS!!!'
Jacheongbi's eyes flickered open, and with a graceful motion, she sat upright in her round bed. The sudden movement sent a ripple of surprise through her attending servants, causing them to flinch in unison, their celestial composure momentarily disrupted by the unexpected awakening.
Now fully alert, Jacheongbi gazed upon her startled attendants with eyes that sparkled like jewels. The air in the chamber seemed to hum with electric energy as the servants, recovering from their initial shock, prepared themselves for a possible reprimand from their divine mistress.
However, to their surprise, the goddess smiled with a warmth that transcended the heavenly realms. "Forgive me, my devoted ones," she spoke with a voice that echoed like harmonious music. "I did not mean to startle you. It appears I was caught in the vivid tapestry of a particularly enchanting dream."
The servants, visibly relieved, exchanged glances of gratitude as Jacheongbi continued, "Let us not dwell on the momentary disturbance. Instead, I find myself invigorated by the embrace of wakefulness. Prepare my bath, for I wish to cleanse myself in the rejuvenating waters. Your efforts are always appreciated, and I am grateful for your dedicated service."
With those words, the goddess gracefully rose from her round bed, and her attendants, with a renewed sense of purpose, hastened to fulfil her wishes. The celestial chamber became a hive of gentle activity as the goddess, still smiling, made her way toward the prepared bath, leaving behind a tranquil aura that echoed with the forgiving grace of a benevolent deity.
As Jacheongbi made her way toward the bath, the servants exchanged whispers among themselves, their voices carrying a sense of relief and joy. The celestial chamber, once filled with the tension of potential reprimand, now echoed with the subdued excitement of the unexpected turn of events.
"I thought for sure we were in for a scolding," one servant whispered to another, her eyes wide with amazement.
"I can't believe she apologized. This is a rare occurrence indeed," another replied, a sense of happiness evident in her voice.
The news of the Goddess's uncharacteristic apology spread among the attendants like a gentle breeze through the gardens. They shared glances of disbelief, their expressions transforming from apprehension to genuine smiles. The prospect of avoiding the wrath of their deity over a minor disturbance filled them with a newfound sense of contentment.
Amid their preparations for the Goddess's bath, the servants continued to exchange their thoughts in hushed tones. "Maybe her dreams were exceptionally pleasant today," one speculated, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.
Haeun, who had her doubts, also chimed in, "Whatever the reason, I hope this signifies a change in her temperament. It would be wonderful to experience more days without the fear of anger or scolding."
As Jacheongbi immersed herself in the cleansing waters, the joyous whispers of her attendants continued. They moved with an air of lightness and gratitude, appreciating the unexpected respite from the usual tension that accompanied their duties. The celestial chamber, once charged with the anticipation of a possible scolding, transformed into a haven of harmonious activity and camaraderie.
Jacheongbi, sensing the newfound happiness among her attendants, emerged from her bath with a serene expression. 'I wonder how they were treated before to feel such happiness from a mere thank you!'
As Jacheongbi adorned herself in celestial garments, she cast a benevolent gaze upon her devoted servants. "Today has been a day of unexpected grace," she remarked, her voice carrying a soothing melody. "Let us carry this spirit forward in our endeavours. The past has nothing to do with me, I am a changed person and I will try to be there for you all like a true Goddess."
"Your Highness, do you feel sick?" Haeun couldn't hold back the question, she smacked her lips immediately after the words left her mouth bowing in apology, ready for the wrath of the Goddess.
"Hahahah! Haeun, you are such a pure soul, yes I am very well, I somehow feel the best I have ever felt" Haeun, still in a bowing position, couldn't believe her ears.
The unexpected laughter of the Goddess echoed through the celestial chamber, and a sense of wonder overcame the servants. The Goddess, once known for her majestic and sometimes stern demeanour, appeared to have undergone a dramatic and sudden transformation.
The radiant smile on the goddess's face was contagious, and Haeun couldn't help but mirror the joyous expression. "Your Highness, I'm relieved to hear that you feel well. I have heard you laugh after ages..." Haeun replied, her eyes reflecting genuine happiness.
The other servants, who had been holding their breath in anticipation of the goddess's reaction, gradually relaxed. The celestial chamber, once a place of apprehension, now resonated with a harmonious atmosphere filled with the Goddess's laughter.
Jacheongbi, sensing the change in the atmosphere, addressed Haeun directly, "You have a kind heart, Haeun, always attentive to the well-being of others. Your concern is appreciated." With those words, she extended a gracious hand, gesturing for Haeun to rise.
Haeun, still in awe of the goddess's unexpected benevolence, rose with a radiant smile. The other servants followed suit, their hearts uplifted by the celestial energy that now filled the chamber. The girls, once wary of the goddess's temper, now moved with a sense of shared joy and camaraderie, grateful for the unexpected twist of fate that had brought laughter and warmth to the divine abode.
Still smiling, Jacheongbi announced, "I believe Father has requested our presence at the official gathering today, let's head outside now, Haeun"
"Yes, Your Highness, I am honoured to accompany you," Haeun replied with a deep bow, her radiant smile reflecting both gratitude and excitement.
