Joseon (colonial Korea) had been under Japanese rule for decades.
Gyeongseong was its capital city...
...newly founded upon the fallen empire.
At the center of it all was the girl:
Arisa Jo, the girl with the slimmest eyebrows.
A schoolgirl in a Modern dress was a rare sight for sure.
Look! There goes the bobbed-hair beauty!
Whew!
Look, her skirt is ’bout to flip!
Jun Seomoon.
Thank you. Were you heading home after school?
No.
I was waiting for you. Lord Jo told me to walk you home after school.
What’s with this Lord thing? You sound like a peasant addressing yangban.*
is that how you country people still address each other?
Normally, a country bumpkin like me would never have anything to do with a girl like Arisa Jo.
*Yangban: the traditional ruling class during the Joseon Dynasty.
