The stranger chuckled in response. "I should introduce myself. I'm Taehyung. Kim Taehyung."

"Oh, hello there. I'm Y/n. Kim Y/n."

The male, who had now introduced himself as Taehyung, chuckled. "Wow! You have the same last name as me! It's a very common surname here, but maybe we're related?"

I smiled. "I don't know, maybe!" I stuck my hand out for him to shake. "It's nice to meet you."

He gave me a boxy-shaped grin in return. "The pleasure is mine, Miss Y/n. Fancy a drink?"

"Uhm, sure! I don't really know what's here, but I'll join you."

"Fantastic, then! Follow me, I can grab us a table."

I nodded, following Taehyung to the back of the pub, into a booth obscured by plain view. Sure, it might have been really naive and stupid of me to sit and have a drink with a guy I just met, but considering the fact that I've been locked up in the palace a majority of my life, everyone who wasn't palace-people were technically strangers to me and basically all fair game. So I decided that even if this might end badly, at least I might make one friend who wouldn't just think of me as the princess no one has seen for eighteen years.

Taehyung slid into one side of the booth, and I followed suit on the other side afterward. "So, is this your first time here? You look relatively new; I don't think I've seen you in here before," he comments. 

I nodded, eagerly. "Oh, yes. It's the first time I'm seeing the village, actually."

"Did you just move here from another kingdom, then?" Taehyung asked curiously.

I shook my head. "No, I've lived here all my life; I've just never seen the village. This is still in Ilsan, right?"

Taehyung chuckled. "Yes," he replies, "you don't get out much, do you?"
