Timeless Love's
The First Meet (Again)

Year 1433

The wind blew hard tonight, several times Ma's aunt held up a makeshift blanket on the girl who was lying next to her, occasionally Ma's aunt stared into the dark forest, still a little anxious if there are Jurchen soldiers who dare to enter Joseon, given how they slaughtered many Joseon soldiers while in Jeju to loot the treasure. Uncle Ma several times tried to make the bonfire he made keep burning with wind conditions that make the fire always dead, they had to survive the cold weather in the forest after successfully crossing from Jeju island to Hanyang.

"Is the fire not able to light up either? looks like this girl's starting to shiver." Aunt Ma began to worry when the girl who was now lying next to him began to shiver in the cold, also began to get upset because her husband was not able to keep the bonfire burning.

"I'm also trying, you see the wind is very strong." Uncle Ma tried to stay calm, even though he was just as worried about his wife, and it seemed like the little commotion was making the girl wake up.

"I'm sorry to trouble you guys." Aunt Ma immediately turned to look at the girl while helping her sit up when she saw the girl trying to get up.

"No, you didn't bother us agasshi, we should thank you for saving our lives in the forest yesterday. We apologize for not being able to say anything in gratitude, this is all we can do." Aunt Ma tried again to express her gratitude to the girl who was now beside her. The girl shook her head again.

"it's everyone's duty to help if I can. Yesterday's coincidence I can help you." Aunt Ma looked at the girl's face wistfully, as it helped them the girl's face had deep scratches and for Ma's aunt it was not good.

"Tell me what can we do for you other than what we do now for you Agasshi?" this time Uncle Ma spoke when it was felt the bonfire would not die again. The girl looked at Uncle Ma thinking, the events of these few days that he went through really drained his energy as well mentally. Everything makes no sense and makes him frustrated, but strangely he can live it well.

"Can you just take me with you? if I may want to be your adopted son, I don't know where to go, and I don't have anyone here either, I will certainly do anything useful for you, you guys said you didn't have any kids anyway?" aunt and uncle Ma looked at each other and both smiled.

"Of course I can't, agasshi has saved our lives and again I like you too Agasshi." Aunt Ma clasped the girl's hand next to her dear, dear, somehow Ma's aunt was given a chance by the gods to feel that she had a daughter when she saw the girl next to her.

"Thank you and please just call my name, aren't we going to be a family? Hagi, call my name Hagi Aboeji, eommoni." Hagi yes the girl Hagi. Uncle and Aunt Ma nodded in agreement

Hagi stared at the bonfire that was fluttering in the wind, he recalled the strange events he had just experienced these past few days, originally all he considered a dream, he thought of, but where there was a dream all along and as real as this. But he tried to remember his father's words and all began to make sense, finally he understood and also tried to accept everything that happened to him. It seems like God is giving him a clue as to the purpose of why he was born and what he was born to the Kim family for

Flasbacks

Hagi blinked his eyes as the sun began to roast his skin. The first sight he saw was a waterfall that was quite high, as if remembering something, Hagi groaned in pain holding his right hand that had scratched the rocks when falling from above. All his belongings were lost somewhere even the valuables he had just obtained from his father were also lost.

"Dad will definitely kill me, that's clearly the ancestral legacy." Hagi muttered little as he tried to circulate his gaze and found nothing nearby.

Once again Hagi looked around him, he felt unfamiliar with this waterfall because as much as Hagi from where he was climbing no one had found a waterfall this high, as well, or maybe no one has found this waterfall until now. Slowly Hagi got up all over her body was painful, but if you see from the rising sun can be sure she has fainted for more than one day and that is how her stomach feels now.

"Ah hungry so much.. I have to quickly return to the hotel, the house people must be anxious because there is no news from me all day." Hagi started walking while still pressing the wound on his left hand, although it still hurt and agonized that Hagi could still hold it.

Slowly Hagi began to come out of the waterfall area towards the dense forest in front of him, if he was not wrong if he took to the left he would find the climbing path that he had passed before. Although quite shocked when he fell in the cave before, but Hagi still remembers where he went when he fell. he now began to be grateful for the intelligent brain that his father used to be proud of his friends.

Hagi frowned confusedly, as his prediction turned out to be wrong it had been almost more than two hours he had only seen the wilderness that felt foreign to him. All this time Hagi always explored Jeju forest with his father and he already understood the ins and outs of the forest here. But this time the forest was a little different from the forest he often explored with his father. Panic began to creep up as the day began to turn late and he had not found a way out at all. It was not a problem that he was in the forest that he was afraid of, but he did not like to make people he cared about worry about him, this was too long he disappeared and did not tell his family.

Hagi let out his breath of limp, it seemed like he had to admit that he was lost right now.

"Ck, it turns out I can also get lost here, even though I've been here a lot with my father." Hagi started hugging himself cold, it was getting dark and he was still wearing his climbing clothes, not to mention that he was only treating the wounds on his hands with the plants he saw around the forest, although it is quite powerful but still the wound must be in intensive care, at least that is what Hagi knows as a prospective doctor.

Hagi again held his hungry stomach, even though eating the fruits he saw was not enough for his empty stomach for almost two days.

"Agrhhhh where is the way out of this dense forest?" Hagi groaned frustrated when his body condition began to fever, Hagi may still be strong walking for another 3 hours if not fever. But if in this condition most resistant he will only be able to walk half an hour.

"Well a little more, but if I don't meet you, I'm forced to stop first. I don't want to die here without my family. It's ridiculous my fate." Hagi again walked trying to ignore his body that began to protest.

As he answered the prayer he said in his heart, Hagi found a beam of light from a distance, a little running Hagi smiled happily, it seemed like someone was camping here, it was a sign that he was close to the exit.

But as it dampened all his spirit Hagi stopped his steps even started to hide when what he saw made him raise his eyebrows in astonishment.

"Is there filming a colossal drama? Why are their clothes so weird?" Hagi initially tried to suggest himself with positivity, but after almost half an hour of watching the crowd in front of him inexplicably Hagi started to get frustrated.

"I must be dreaming, what does all this mean?" Hagi closed his mouth in horror when in front of him a girl who might be under his age was being met with a crowd of soldiers, a group of soldiers, Hagi wants to jump and help the girl if she is not feverish and injured, the number is quite a lot, but if Hagi's condition is fit those people can easily defeat Hagi.

Hagi looked back at his surroundings when he found an arrow and several bows that he could use to attack those soldiers from afar. With a slight slack Hagi managed to grab the arrow and bow beside some soldiers who were busy drinking and heavily drunk.

"I've never used my talent to hurt anyone else, but you're harassing women, my father will definitely take it." Hagi began to prepare his arrows, although his head felt dizzy Hagi could still stare at the focus on his target point. Previously Hagi had made the tip of the arrow burn with fire.

Just one time, the arrow shot out right at the large tent that was quickly burning with fire, it caused a commotion and swiftly all the soldiers started to hold their respective weapons. Some seemed to put out the fire which was now burning the tent quickly, before Hagi had seen someone come out angrily from the tent.

"Damn it, who would dare attack the Jurchen army?" For a moment Hagi stiffened as one of the soldiers shouted where they came from. Oh good it looks like Hagi is starting to understand why he could be here, with Hagi's remaining manpower standing ready to leave. His intention to help the girl changed, he could not be caught by this horde. He must know first why he could be here, although he began to be able to guess the strange events in nature now.

"I'm sorry at least I hope you can escape when this fire gets them busy." Hagi looked at the girl who still looked frightened within the crowd, with the rest of his energy Hagi leaving the horde. Not to forget he also had time to bring archery equipment that he had stolen from the gang of Jurchen soldiers. Hagi was sure he would need it later.

After quite a distance Hagi rested his body which was down drastically from the estimate, with a slight tremble Hagi climbed up one of the big trees that were beside him, with a slight tremble, he did not want to risk eating beasts or being chased by the Jurchen army. Tonight he has to sleep, at least it can restore his stamina for tomorrow, the thought of his anxious family makes Hagi even more frustrated, unfortunately Hagi this time can not do anything, he said, at least Hagi's father must know where he is.

It seemed as if Hagi had just closed his eyes when the sound of asking for help woke Hagi from his sleep, but seeing from the light that went into the crack of the tree made Hagi snort in annoyance, it seemed like Hagi's body was completely exhausted to the point of not feeling his sleep for long enough. It was better for Hagi to stretch his body and get down from the tree and slightly run towards the direction of the voice that asked for help.

It was the first time Hagi had met Ma's uncle and aunt, both of whom had almost fallen from the abyss, that Ma's aunt held her husband's hand hanging from the ravine, when Ma's aunt was about to enter the abyss, with both hands Hagi pulled the couple from the edge of the cliff, because Hagi hastily did not realize his face was scratched by the rocks on the edge of the cliff, Hagi was a little overwhelmed when pulling the two considering his still aching body and the wound on his arm was bleeding back from interest.

But using all his strength Hagi lifted the husband and wife away from the edge of the abyss, when both of them were busy crying, Hagi again unconscious after a helping event that drained his energy.

The couple finally brought Hagi home because he had helped Ma's uncle and aunt, but the situation in the village at that time was also a little unfavorable. The Jurchens attacked the small village of Ma's uncles and aunts and plundered all property including young girls to be used as gisseng or lustful gratuities for the Jurchen army.

At first the two were confused to see the clothes Hagi was wearing but they did not bother about it. With Ma's uncle's clothes and breastplates that Ma's aunt put on, Hagi was finally able to break free from the Jurchen army.

When he woke up Hagi finally realized that he was not dreaming if now he was in a different time with his parents, and his parents, what makes Hagi at least able to understand this situation is that when the name of the Jurchen soldier is heard by him, he knows very well who the Jurchen soldier is because his mother always crammed his brain with the name of the soldier. The name of the soldier who started the existence of the Kim family until now.

****

The morning came to disturb the sleep of the couple who did not feel now hugging, when they woke up both surprised because they still remember if there was a girl who was also lying next to them, but Ma's uncle and aunt didn't see Hagi there.

"Thank you when it's my job to find food, why don't you wake me up, son?" Uncle Ma sat beside Hagi as well as Aunt Ma, Hagi again shook his head.

"I'm the youngest, I'm the one who has to prepare food for the older ones, whether you want to be my parents now." Uncle and aunt Ma nodded in understanding and began to eat the fruit that Hagi had brought.

"We have to move now, if we are soon later in the afternoon we have arrived in Hanyang, for now the capital city is the safest place in Joseon. Can you walk away?" Uncle Ma looked at Hagi, he was still worried about the girl who had just become his adopted son.

"I am strong, calm aboeji even though I am yeoja, I have a strong physique." Uncle Ma nodded in understanding.

"Yes I can see it baby, Hagi already looks healthier now so we better get out of here quickly." This time Aunt Ma also gave the same proposal.

After everything was ready, the three began to move a little quickly and looked back several times. Uncle Ma deliberately sought the fastest route and rarely passed someone so as not to face danger, this time he had to protect 2 women at once.

But it seems like fate says the other three should instead be confronted by a fight that they really do not need to be thrown into, but when they know who is being pushed it is someone that Uncle Ma knows, the old man could not just stay silent.

"Don't baby, if you go there you're as good as looking to die, Mr. Kim can definitely beat them." Aunt Ma tried to confront her husband when she wanted to help someone they knew, aunt Ma did not want her husband to die silly because he could not defend himself.

"You don't see what kind of young master is? I can't just shut up." Uncle Ma still insisted on helping people he knew, Hagi who had since noticed the two husbands and wives began to pay attention to the young master who was now quite overwhelmed against 5 people with swords. Hagi frowned thinking, he seems to know that person. When he realized from his daydream, Uncle Ma had advanced and used his sword to attack the person who now cornered his acquaintance. But since it was unable to play a sword, the sword that had just been swinging had already fallen on the ground, that was when Hagi came forward to retrieve the sword that was thrown from Uncle Ma's hand and fend off the sword that was ready to strike Uncle Ma.

"Who else is this, you're looking to die young man? Don't interfere in our business, you better go and take this old jackass." One of the five drew his sword at Hagi, but there was no fear in his eyes. Hagi turned his body closer towards Uncle Ma and his acquaintances who were also already sitting exhausted.

"Aboeji back off, take your acquaintances away." Hagi's words suddenly made the five people who were still brandishing their swords angry.

"I told you not to interfere, you're looking to die, stupid boy."

"Unfortunately I can't help but interfere, what you're attacking is my father's acquaintance." Hagi's words suddenly caused the five men to attack him repeatedly, although a little overwhelmed because of the wounds that had not dried up Hagi could compensate for the strength of the fifth person's swordsmanship before him.

'The people before me are not ordinary people, they must be hit men at this time.' Hagi muttered in his heart he could see the level of his opponent, although still below him Hagi knew the people before him were diligently practicing.

Hagi glanced at the person who was now being held by Uncle Ma, but the namja was injured and had to be treated, meaning that Hagi had to quickly defeat the five people in front of him. With his sword ability Hagi attacked the vital organs of the five people before him and it did not take long the five had already fallen down just like that. After making sure the five people did not wake up again, Hagi approached Uncle Ma and also the acquaintance of Uncle Ma, aunt Ma had also approached when Hagi finished with the five people.

"Aboeji are you okay?" Hagi had seen his adoptive father's hand hurt he looked at his father's worried hand.

"I'm fine but Mr. Kim seems to be hurt." This time Hagi's gaze turned on the namja who was now breathing out his pain, the wound on his stomach seemed quite deep, blood was quite splattered but what caught his attention was the face of the namja.

'I'm sure I know him, but who? What is clear is that I knew him in my time' Hagi woke up from his daydreams when the namja called his adoptive father raucous.

"Uncle Ma I don't seem to be helped, the capital is also still very far away, my wounds are too deep. Can you deliver this to my brother? You have to pass this on to my brother." Uncle Ma received a letter then nodded obediently. Hagi pulled the namja's hand that was now lying beside him, then checked the pulse as well as the wound.

"Abeoji wait for me here, make sure he stays awake, I'll look for something to reduce the bleeding." Before Uncle Ma asked if Hagi had run the other way, he tried to find a plant that could be used to stop the bleeding.

"Ah here it is, no loss I participated in activities that discuss medicinal plants a month ago." Hagi again ran towards Uncle and Aunt Ma as well that namja whose consciousness began to disappear.

"Master, you wake up." Uncle Ma seemed to shake the body of the person he called master, aunt Ma could only cry sadly, she said, Hagi who saw it straight up and checked the pulse on his hands and neck again with a little panic Hagi began to do first aid in a heart attack.

"What are you doing?" Uncle Ma asked uneasily as his adoptive daughter made a strange move and was even more surprised when Hagi pressed his lips against the namja to perform an artificial breath.

"Eomma please crush the leaves beside me to water and then stick them on the stomach of this namja." Aunt Ma looked at Hagi confusedly but when Hagi asked him again with a louder volume aunt Ma instantly moved in obedience to Hagi's orders, Hagi was still doing his first aid until finally Hagi breathed a sigh of relief when the namja was back breathing.

"Thank God you're awake." Uncle Ma seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as the man coughed while grimacing in pain.

***

The night came when Hagi finished treating the namja, they were forced to return to spend the night in the forest because the condition of the namja that continued to be called master Kim by Uncle Ma was not strong enough to move. Several times Hagi kept staring at the namja a long time ago, he was sure this person had met him in the future, But somehow Hagi did not remember. Slowly the namja woke up to make Hagi turn his attention to the bonfire that had been trying to keep him burning, uncle and aunt Ma had fallen asleep when finished eating earlier.

"You haven't slept yet, young man?" Hagi was quite surprised when the namja asked him to speak, He just nodded his head in response. The young man seemed to be trying to sit down and quickly Hagi helped him.

"I haven't been able to thank you before. Thank you for helping me save my life, too." Hagi stared at the namja beside him deeply, making the atmosphere a little awkward.

"It should be if you can help why not? The most important thing is that you're a person known to Aboeji." The man nodded his head slowly.

"I heard you were just adopted as a child by Uncle Ma as well for helping them, you're a good person. I'm grateful that Uncle Ma met such a nice young man like you." Hagi raised his eyebrows in wonder, since this namja always called him a young boy, did Uncle Ma not say he was a girl? For a moment he looked at himself who was still wearing the shabby clothes of uncle ma, then looked at his chest which was in a splash.

'Maybe this guy really thinks I'm namja.' Hagi shrugged his shoulders at the fool.

"I'm also grateful to meet abeoji, but may I know whose master's name? Sorry if my question is so bad." The namja shook slowly.

"It's okay, my name is Kyuhyun, Kim Kyuhyun." Once again Hagi frowned thinking, he is no stranger to that name.

"I'm Hagi sir." Kyuhyun nodded slowly.

"Yes Uncle Ma also told me your name earlier. Now may I ask you?" Hagi nodded in response.

"Where did you learn to play the sword? I saw how you beat these guys. I'm sure you're not an amateur." Hagi smiled slightly.

"I've been practicing the sword since my little master, my father taught me." Once again Kyuhyun nodded in understanding. Hagi began to sense that if Kyuhyun would definitely come back to question him, he could not tell him any further. Otherwise Kyuhyun would have been suspicious.

"Sorry sir it seems I want to sleep, however tomorrow we have started to have to go back to the capital." Kyuhyun who again wanted to ask lowered his intention and then nodded lightly, the opportunity was immediately taken by Hagi to pull out his thin blanket and try to fall asleep.
