Stardust serenade:Love Across The Cosmos

"Hwan, you cannot go for horse riding today", Edward pleaded, his voice filled with concern.

Hwan a young guy with restless spirit, stood in the stable, eyes fixed on the majestic horses.

the rain had been relentless for the past three days, turning the countryside in a sea of mud.the storm showed no signs of abating, yet Hwan determination remain unyielding.

Edward, an elderly servant who had served Hwan's family for generations, knew all too well the stubbornness that ran in his young master's veins.he stepped forward, his weathered face etched with worry.

"Master, i implore you to reconsider.the weather is treacherous, and the thunder has been relentless. it's too dangerous to venture out today."

Hwan turned to face Edward, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of excitement and something deeper, something primal.

"Edward, my dear old friend, you know i have a strange connection with thunder.i can feel it's energy coursing through my veins, today i sense something extraordinary in the air. i must ride out, regardless of the weather."

Edward's lined forehead creased further as he reached out to grasp Hwan's arm gently. "Master, i understand your fascination with the elements, but it's my duty to protect you. you are your father's only hier. please, allow me to keep you safe within these walls until the rain subsides."

Hwan's face softened for a moment as he regarded the old Edward who had been a second father to him, he placed a hand on Edward trembling fingers, a gesture of gratitude and reassurance. "Edward, you have always been loyal to our family, and i appreciate your concern. but you must also understand that sometime we must embrace the unknown to discover extraordinary. i cannot ignore the call of thunder today."

Edward's eyes flickered with a mix of resignation and worry, his voice laden with emotion. "Very well, Master. but promise me you will be cautious and return at the first sign of danger. your safety is of utmost importance to me.

"I promise Edward i shall exercise the cautious and return unharmed, now help me saddle Malsuk, he said with a smile.

with a heavy heart and silent prayer on his lips, he set about preparing Malsuk, knowing that he could not dissuade his young Master from his choosen path.

As Hwan mounted the horse, his face illuminate with a mixture of anticipation and determination, he cast one last glance to Edward and smile, worry not dear, Malsuk will protect me i will not get sick easily and also don't worry about Mr CEO too, he winked, bye Edward.

After hours of horse riding in the rain through the

picturesque countryside, Hwan find himself feeling utterly exhausted.

The rhythmic galloping of his stead had soaked him to the bone, and the relentless downpour had taken it's toll on his energy. seeking respite from the relentless elements, he sought out a serene spot near a gently flowing river, the sounds of the cascading waterfall creates a soothing ambiance.and the sound of the cascading over smooth stones provided a soothing melody,

harmonizing with the soft pitter-patter of raindrops on the foliage.

He dismounts from the horse, Malsuk, and secure the loyal companion to a nearby tree.

Hwan plops down on a grassy patch near the riverbank. his weary body greatful for the chance to rest, he takes a deep breath, feeling the cool breeze against his handsome face. his gaze shifts to Malsuk,his faithful steed.

Oh, Malsuk, my loyal freind, i missed you so much when i was in Seoul.

he paused for a moment, reflecting on his journey and the unexpected turns it had taken.

Seoul... it's such a massive city, i went there to uncover the truth behind my parents' death but instead, i ended up becoming a k-pop idol in one of the most famous k-pop groups.

I despise this life as an idol, the world of k-pop fills with so many lies.

Hwan's expression grows heavy with his unspoken anguish. he contemplates the emotional burden he carries, his desire for answers conflicting with his responsibility as the leader of the one of the most famous k-pop idol group.

Sometimes, it's feels unbearable, i even considered ending my own life. but then... then i saw the faces of my fellow members, the one i swore too protect.as Hwan speaks, a sense of determination fills his voice. he clutches at his chest, conflicted between his duty and his personal quest for truth. it's just... it's just so hard for me to give up on finding the real reason behind my parents' death.i hate k-pop, even though my fans adore me.

just as Hwan continues pouring out his frustrations to Malsuk, the horse suddenly became restless. it's start jumping and whinnying in fear, causing Hwan eyes to widen in alarm.

Malsuk, what's wrong?, realising the urgency of the situation, Hwan swiftly unties Malsuk, fearing for the animal's safety.

But before he can regain control, the horse bolts towards the river, it's hooves pounding against the ground.

No, Malsuk! Stop!, Hwan rushes after the galloping horse, his heart pounding in his chest, as he approached the river bank, Hwan gaze falls upon a startling sight, there lying unconscious on the damp ground, was a girl, her body bruised and battered.

In her hands, she clutches the gleaming sword.

she appeared more like a warrior from a historical drama than an ordinary girl.

without a moment's hesitation, Hwan rushed to her side, his worry for her overpowering any lingering sense of caution.

he cradled her fragile form in his arms, feeling the warmth of life radiating from her despite the visible injuries.

Gently, he carried her to his horse, securing her in front of him, and urged Malsuk towards the nearest town and it's hospital.

the rain began to fall once more, matching the intensity of Hwan's racing heart. the destiny that had interwined there path was unknown, but he knew that he stumbled into something extraordinary.
