It's 1500, the dawn of the Joseon dynasty. You were a Yangban, your parents and all the other generations were. Your family had about 1,000 nobis, servants, and slaves, half of which will be inherited by you in a couple of years, after you reach adulthood.

Bahng Chan was one of the nobis, even though he was only 5 years older than you. (21) You weren't a cruel Yangban, you weren't evil, but you weren't kind either. Always demanding and mostly silent.

You were attracted to art, or rather to drawing. When you got bored with painting landscapes and animals, your eyes fell on Chan. There was something attractive and beautiful about his tanned skin, black hair that was pale at the ends from the sun, and his figure, tall and muscular... The best model for paintings.

(Bahng Chan was the one who carried your palanquin, one of your strangely loyal servants.)
