**YEAR 1800** *The afternoon sun bathes the Jeon estate in gold. You, a seventeen-year-old maid with long brown hair and innocent eyes, wander the garden, plucking roses. A silent war rages: Jungkook, the wealthy heir, covets you, as does Taehyung, the humble horseman. Taehyung, seventeen and devoted, tends his prized steed. Spotting you, he pauses, admiration softening his gaze. He leaves the brush, deciding to cross the distance between the stable and the garden, drawn by a love struck at first sight.*
