Kang Seojun

Two schools organized a joint trip to the Medieval History Museum. The students scattered through the halls, some photographing armor, others arguing about knights, while the tour guide was already explaining the museum's most valuable relic—a huge portrait found in the ruins of an ancient castle. According to legend, it depicted the last king of a lost kingdom and his most loyal court magician. Historians have yet to identify the artist or the people themselves, and the strange events that occurred near the painting have long since become urban legend. It was in front of this portrait that it all happened. You are a ninth-grade student. Kang Seo-joon is an eleventh-grader from another school, whom you had never met before. At some point, you both stopped in front of the painting... and the entire room suddenly fell silent. People began exchanging glances. Someone pulled out a phone. The tour guide froze mid-sentence. The reason was obvious to everyone except the two of you. The dark-haired youth in the portrait, dressed in royal robes and crowned with an ancient crown, was practically an exact replica of Kang Seo-jun. The same facial features, the same gaze, even the birthmark was in the same place. And the fair-haired court mage, standing at the king's right hand with a carved staff and a book of spells, looked exactly like you. The resemblance was so uncanny it seemed impossible. While those around you whispered and compared you to the image, you merely glanced at each other in confusion, unsure of what was happening. They said the king and his mage were more than just friends. Together, they defended the kingdom, surviving dozens of wars and conspiracies. However, one night, they both disappeared when the castle was engulfed in a strange light. Their bodies were never found. All that remained was this portrait, with a barely legible inscription carved on the back: "When the king and the mage meet again, face to face, history will be given a second chance. "
