Face to face with unexpected outcome
---
"Ouch, will you just be gentle?!" Minho groaned when the boy dragged him into a room with two more people.
"Woah woah woah, why are you dragging a lady, Chan?" the shortest of them asked in surprised and gave Minho a chair when Chan let Minho go.
"That is not a girl, it's a boy! And I found him inside my house!" Chan angrily replied at Changbin.
Minho was beyond confused of what's happening, it's like he came back to the past because everyone was dressed in traditional clothes and everyone was speaking in old Korean language. What was happening?? What did Minho get into?
"It's a girl?" the person with a quokka-like face stood up and started checking Minho from top to bottom. Minho still felt weird out and hurriedly covers his face.
"What are these clothes that he's wearing? It's thick...he looks like he's from other country, is he from America? He looks like a foreigner." The shortest one looked at Minho and asks his friends.
"Can you all shut up? I'm already very confused of what is going on at the moment! I don't even know why I'm here in the first place. As I remembered it was 9pm in the evening. All I did was go to a museum to find some information for my report and suddenly I'm somehow with you three now!" Minho snapped causing all of them to look at him with confusion and shock that Minho spoke.
"Wait, you're speaking in slightly shortened hangul... a little too informal. You're not from overseas?" Chan looked at him.
"Of course I am Korean and not from the overseas, I just went into some magical shit because I was desperate to finish my task. Why are the three of you speaking in old korean? And...dang you three are in hanboks. You look like coming from 18 hundreds or something." he was chill for a moment and looked at the three, fixing his orange hair.
"You are certainly correct, It's... the Fifth decade and Second year of the Millennium 1800's-"
Fifth decade and second- 52? 1852??
"What?!" Minho realized his doom and panicked and holding on to his hair.
"Really Changbin?" Chan facepalmed after Changbin even commented on Minho's remarks.
"What?" Changbin looks at him.
"OH shit- what am I gonna do?! I'm not dreaming right?! Someone slap me!" he was still panicking and a slap really did land on his face.
"Ouch, why did you do that?!" he glared at the brown haired boy.
"You said to slap you, so I did." Chan glared at him too, still hissing.
"Tsk... rude. But aaa I have nowhere to go." Minho hid his face more, his heart was thumping and he was panicking.
How did he go back in time? What did just happened? Did he somehow go back to when the story between the author and Bang Chan?
Fuck...he thought.
Wait...Bang Chan? That's right!
He stood up startling the three boys and faces them, he quickly snatches the portrait from his pocket and got a closer look of Bang Chan's face in the portrait on his hand.
"Which one of you is Bang Chan?" he asked in a panic. As he was pointing at them and wondering.
Chan raises his hand and looked at his friends, then to Minho.
"Huh, the rude boy..." Minho looks at Bang Chan first, observing his physique.
And hell, he would be lying if he says Bang Chan is not attractive, because HE in fact, IS attractive.
"Huh... I don't blame Rino..." Minho muttered under his breath.
"What is he talking about?" Chan whispered and asked Jisung.
"How would I know? He said your name, idiot." Jisung replied, clueless about what is happening.
Minho was even more surprised than ever, the great Bang Chan from the book was just in front of him.
"And you must be Changbin, the not so blessed with height but has sharp gazes." He gestured to the shortest one who had his eyes widen.
"Yah! Leave the height alone! and yes, that is me. How do you know that?" Changbin asked him, slightly offended.
"The story goes like this, okay? Bang Chan." He points to Chan.
"He is the main character. And he, along with Seo Changbin, and Han Jisung, are some rich guys who owns a lot of weaponry company in whole Joseon, before the North and South are created. And..." he suddenly pauses...
"Wait, so that means the main character is here too?!" he looked around and looked for the female main character, but he soon regrets it when he saw how high the window is from the ground.
The door suddenly bursts open, as a guy looking like he has power in authorities along with some men. He looked around and saw Minho.
"Prince Rino, are these men bothering you?" his men was ready to slay Chan and his friends using their long swords, in which Minho quickly stopped them.
"No!! Why are you gonna kill them? They didn't do anything wrong! Don't kill them! And who is this Rino?" He slowly pushed some of the guards out from pointing their weapons at the three.
"Your majesty, your father had been worried about you. You wouldn't want to provoke the King." the guy told him, leaving Minho in such confusion.
"Okay, I don't know what is going on, but my father is already de-"
The door flung open again revealing a man dressed like a royal king, Minho's heart dropped but at the same time, he was shocked to see his own father's face, his breath started going heavy as he didn't expect to see his dad in this timeline of the past.
"Your grace...." All men that was behind him bowed down to the king, even Chan, Changbin and Jisung.
He looked at his father again and slightly bowed, he was feeling so overwhelmed and still shocked.
"Father, what are you doing here?" Minho asked him, his father was shocked of the tone of Minho's voice but also relieved to find his son.
"Son, where on earth were you? And what are these hideous clothes you are wearing, not suitable for a prince like you, and your hair...what is this color?..." His father looked at him.
"Wait dad, you don't understand! I was just-"
"We are leaving, now!" his father looked at his men and him, dragging Minho with them.
Minho panicked and looks back at Bang Chan and the others. But when he did look back, there was a look of anger and clenched fist present on Chan's demeanor.

They arrived at the temple which resulted Minho to be in awe to see it, I mean like his father is a King, it's like some Joseon K-drama plot, but all of it are unbelievably real and what Minho is experiencing. Minho was amazed, he should be scared, but for some reason, he was curious than scared.
They dragged Minho into his chambers, right the rooms where the royalties rest and like that, as he was the prince. All of them left except for his father.
Minho couldn't help but release shaky breaths. Ot can't be...right?
"Rino, you are a prince. What is a prince doing in the Chief's rooms-" his father stopped from scolding him when Minho engulfed him in a tight hug.
"Rino, what are you doing? What is this?" His father looked at him, unaware of the affection Minho just laid on him.
"I-I miss you, d-dad.." he softly spoke following with sniffles and sobs. The king was even more confused why his son was crying.
"But, we have seen each other earlier, more likely every day. Rino, why are you crying?" His father spoke up.
"Dad...you don't understand... you don't understand how difficult it is to sink in that I'm Rino..." Minho wiped his tears.
"Son, what are you talking about-"
"Dad... my name is Lee Minho...and I came from the future. In the future year I lived, I lost you and mom when I was 10 years of age.. My hair, my clothes, my way of speaking... They're different because I'm not from this timeline." Minho looked at his father who was still confused about what his son was saying.
"Rino, we aren't dead..." a woman's voice came from behind making Minho turn his head, his breath hitched and he froze as there beheld the queen, or his mom.
"M-Mom..." Minho sobs more upon seeing his mother again, in this time.
"Rino...oh dear." The queen approached him quickly and hugged him as Minho hugged his mother tightly.
"I thought I'd never see you again, mom..." Minho cries in his mother's dres, in which the queen just let him and comforting her baby.
"Rino, what happened to you? You look like a mess, and why is my son crying? Minhyuk, did you scolded your son again?!" His mom glared at his dad.
"Honey, it's not me. Rino was already weeping before I even got to scold him." His father explained, somehow scared of his wife.
"That's because you are always mean to our son." His mom continue to glare at his dad who sighed in defeat, she keeps hugging Minho close to her and Minho was holding to his mom, even if she was the different version of his mother, but being in her arms is what he needed at this moment.
"Rino dear, it's okay. Eomma is here for you, hmm?" Minho nodded along as he was burying his face on his mom's shoulder.
"Rino, son...you might be needing some explaining to do. This whole change of your body, you look taller though, more masculine. Your hair is really different and are you sure those clothes are comfortable, the cold might get to you." His dad came to their side.
Minho separates from his mom and looked at them equally.
"Oh my, I didn't know our son got this much handsome. You lost a lot of fat in your cheeks, have you been exercising, my dear?" his mom checked his face making Minho giggle despite the sadness in his eyes.
They look like... they would be the much older version of Minho's parent back at the future...
"Eomma... Appa...I'll explain everything to you both, but please believe me." Minho looked at both of his parents.
He just wants to share everything to his parents...what an unexpected outcome.
"But I think I need sleep and a good bath, pretty please?" he used his puppy eyes and cute pout making his parents' heart touched right at the core
"Of course, my son. I shall ask some servants to bring you some clothes and for your bath, okay?" his mom reassured and Minho nodded, adding a sweet smile.
