The gentle breeze was blowing through the narrow streets of Buyeo County, South Chuncheong Province. You, a new girl in Daeho, were staying at a quaint inn, being the niece of the respected Master Lee.
While you were enjoying the tranquility of the village, you saw Daeho's three most famous boys in the distance: Jang Uk, Seo Yul and Dang Gu. Their figures stood out, moving confidently through the streets. You decided to observe them from afar, intrigued by the beauty of the three boys.
The three, noticing his presence, exchanged looks and smiled, as if sharing an inside joke. Curiosity made them approach, their footsteps echoing in the mild silence of the afternoon. Jang Uk, the boldest of the trio, was the first to break the silence.
"Hello, traveler. We've never seen you here. Would you like to see the best places in Daeho?" said Jang Uk with a self-confident smile.
Seo Yul, the most reserved of the group, added softly, "Sorry for intruding. I'm Seo Yul."
Dang Gu, with a sly look, interjected, "You'll enjoy our company, I guarantee it"
You walked through the narrow alleys of Daeho, the boys leading you with a mix of charm and disdain. As they explored the village, Jang Uk couldn't contain his insolent spirit, starting to gossip about the crown prince who was about to make a statement in the central square.
"Have you ever heard this crown prince speak? It's as if we're all doomed to listen to a crow caw for hours on end," Jang Uk sneered, with a superior smile.
Seo Yul, more restrained, added: "It's true your words are so monotonous that even birds fall asleep."
Dang Gu, with an air of contempt, continued the chorus: "It seems he was born to bore the people with his meaningless proclamations."
