---------------------------------=
"...?"
Kim Minsu expressed doubt at the information window that appeared as soon as he entered the gate.
The Tale of Chunhyang? Is this like the Don Quixote case from before?
But seeing that a role was assigned this time, there must be something more detailed.
Though it's unclear how different [The Tale of Chunhyang] will be from the original, the role of [Lee Mongryong] is certain.
Another information window also supported Kim Minsu's reasoning.

"I see..."
So there really was no one more suitable for Lee Mongryong than me.
Kim Minsu nodded his head a couple times while muttering to himself.
"Baek Taeyang is too much of a thug, so I actually fit better as a scholar. It's just this... how should I put it..."
Though he couldn't explain it properly, there was that aspect anyway.
Wasn't the reason I cried like that on the street not because of the sadness of breaking up in the first place?
It was the result of empathizing with Yumin's future pain from Baek Taeyang, along with principles and integrity.
I didn't like her that much, and honestly was starting to angle for breaking up.
After organizing his thoughts, Minsu looked around.
A large room where nobles might be in a historical drama, with fancy folding screens.
The hanbok he was wearing was silk and beautifully colored.
Seeing there was even a gat hat, it was unmistakably that of a scholar.
"Then shall I go meet Chunhyang as in the original..."
It didn't matter even if Mastery of Civil and Military Arts was deactivated.
Wouldn't a person suitable for Lee Mongryong be wise even without such things?
It's a role chosen as most fitting for the wise Lee Mongryong even without skills existing.
Of course my judgment had to be right.
"Ahem... Is anyone there?"
A line anyone would remember at least once, though I don't watch much TV.
I open the door while haughtily holding my hands behind my back, walking out one step at a time like a crane.
"Yes, my lord, did you call?"
"Ah... yes... Let's go to Chunhyang."
"Yes, I will prepare."
Didn't they say nobles don't bend their bodies even when putting on shoes?
I put on shoes while holding a string hanging from the ceiling.
I wanted to coolly hold something like a long pipe too, but didn't see one.
Putting aside my disappointment, I got on a horse following the servant's guidance.
"Recent rumors about Chunhyang are not good. Following your father's words, it seems you should reduce meetings..."
"You rascal! Are you trying to teach me!"
"Oh no, not at all. How could I do such a rash thing? I just..."
"I don't want to hear it."
"Understood."
It seems to be just before going to Hanyang according to the content of The Tale of Chunhyang.
Thinking that made it even more vexing.
'I should enjoy as much as I can before going!'
I wanted to meet Chunhyang right now and do this and that.
Seong Chunhyang, who was always described as a peerless beauty or the prettiest gisaeng in novels, but without proper description.
Maybe because it was a classic novel, even the illustrations were full of old-fashioned style so I couldn't be satisfied.
I heard there are many really erotic scenes if you look at the original Tale of Chunhyang.
"Then maybe I too? Uhehehe..."
"What did you say?"
"Ahem, it's nothing."
I must have unconsciously blurted out words.
Minsu looked around while entrusting his body to where the horse led.
I could tell if the servant was properly guiding to the gisaeng house based on Lee Mongryong's memories.
'It's certainly a place where I can't let my guard down.'
Even if it's concept type, an S-rank gate is an S-rank gate.
It couldn't just end with lovey-dovey with Chunhyang and performing the role.
There must be something more I don't know.
Since I couldn't find out at this stage, I needed to identify the characters first.
'Not bad?'
Though it's a belated thought, isn't it a good plan?
Minsu nodded, thinking he was indeed perfect for Lee Mongryong.
Seeing Kim Minsu like that, the servant thought while firmly managing his expression:
'Why is he nodding so much today?'
The servant was worried the young master might have caught an incurable disease.
+++++++++++++++++++++
"How long do you think you can refuse customers? Do you think that precious magistrate's son can protect you forever?"
"That's not it, I just promised to only sleep with the man I formed a marital bond with..."
"That's exactly why you've gone mad. You think others don't want that too? Everyone has someone they promised that to, but they still receive customers. Why? Because they can't marry a noble's son. Do you think this is fair now?"
"...If you wait just a little, he will put up my hair."
"As if the pimp would allow that."
Seong Chunhyang.
The daughter of noble Seong Pangwan and gisaeng Wolmae, one of the representative figures who broke down class barriers.
She too is in love transcending class, and being a noble's daughter, her noble aura is not that of a gisaeng.
But even she had someone she feared - the pimp.
"A gisaeng's daughter is a gisaeng, why? Did you think you could change your fate? You think I can't kill your parents and that boy you're following around? I'll kill them all then kill myself. Is that okay? If it's okay, keep living like this. I'll make sure you watch as I pickle your mother."
Chunhyang still can't sleep when she thinks of that time.
Sometimes the pimp even appears in her dreams to scold her.
Those words that she can never escape being a gisaeng, those words that dragged her to the gisaeng house.
They always wrapped around Chunhyang's neck like a noose.
What if she told her family the pimp said that? What if she told Lee Mongryong?
'It won't be resolved.'
If he was such an easy person, she wouldn't have been dragged to the gisaeng house in the first place.
If I show even a slightly strange behavior, the surrounding gisaengs will probably tell the pimp.
The pimp was someone who really showed when he needed to show.
He was a man with a different aura from just being violent, fierce, and belligerent in nature.
Just thinking of that time again made her face turn red and body tremble.
She had been refusing customers by persuading the pimp well and giving large sums of money, but there was a limit.
As he demanded more and more money each time, her balance quickly decreased, and now it was really time to receive customers.
Moreover, not just the gisaeng she just talked to, but all the gisaengs in the house were aiming for her.
They must be looking for faults even while mixing bodies with the pimp.
"Chunhyang, where are you?"
"Tsk, already acting up before even putting up her hair."
The surrounding gisaengs whisper at Lee Mongryong's words.
Chunhyang decided she needed to leave this place quickly.
It was a time when she could act somewhat freely since the pimp would be sleeping now.
Perhaps this could be the last time they meet.
"Young master, you're here? Let's talk outside first."
For now she focused on eating the grapes in front of her.
Hoping this moment wouldn't break even if it was a dream, she got on Lee Mongryong's horse.
Holding his waist tightly and arriving at a pavilion with a cool breeze blowing, she felt she could die without regrets.
"Chunhyang, I like you so much."
"...I'm embarrassed."
"Uhehehehe"
Though she wondered if his laugh was always this frivolous, that wasn't important now.
What mattered was being together, laughing and talking while sharing hearts.
Though they haven't even mixed bodies yet and only formed a lifelong bond, but someday...
Thinking of that time made her body twist in embarrassment.
But as time passes, the moment of farewell approaches.
"Hey you bitch, everyone at the gisaeng house is busy receiving customers, does it make sense for you alone to be like this?"
Like dark clouds suddenly gathering in a clear sky.
As if mocking their love, the situation Chunhyang feared most occurred.
"Haha... Where does a butcher-like bastard call my wife a bitch? You need to be taught a lesson."
"Young master, that person is very scary. I'll handle this..."
Mongryong showed no sign of backing down even seeing the pimp.
Her heart warmed at his attitude of protecting her, but only for a moment.
The pimp must not be able to hold back any longer since this situation has repeated several times.
Chunhyang thought she absolutely must not create a situation where the two fight.
"Stand back, I'll teach this scoundrel a lesson today."
"Chunhyang, you're really making things big. You shameless whore."
"You scoundrel! You dare insult my wife again!"
"No!"
Before she could stop Mongryong, he rushed at the pimp.
'Please!'
Chunhyang prayed with her hands tightly clasped.
Now that it's come to this, for Mongryong to defeat the pimp.
She earnestly wished to the heavens.
