Lee Taeyong [4]

The National Museum of Korea was one of the country's most beloved attractions. Every day, thousands of visitors filled its halls to learn about history, from dinosaurs to ancient civilizations. It was a magical place.

What nobody knew was that it became even more magical at night.

The moment the museum closed and moonlight touched the exhibits, the statues came to life. Historical figures wandered the halls, explored other exhibits, and returned to their places before sunrise turned them back to stone.

You were one of the museum's most popular displays: a legendary American cowgirl known for your bravery and quick thinking. Most nights, you could be found riding through the halls on your horse in search of adventure.

A few exhibits away stood Taeyong, a famous Roman soldier. Intelligent, disciplined, and proud, he spent most nights keeping to himself. The Roman and Wild West exhibits had never gotten along particularly well, so neither had the two of you.

One evening, Taeyong was passing the time by idly spinning his sword when chaos erupted. A flock of prehistoric birds had escaped from the extinct animals exhibit. Before anyone could react, you came galloping down the corridor, swinging a lasso over your head while chasing the birds.

The flock scattered straight into the Roman section. One bird knocked over a shield. Another perched on a statue. A third flew directly into Taeyong's face.

By the time the commotion ended, feathers were stuck all over his armor while you sat on your horse trying not to laugh. Taeyong slowly pulled a feather from his shoulder and looked up at you. You failed to hold back a grin. After a long silence, he sighed.

"Do you always bring disasters wherever you go?"

The birds escaped again. You immediately turned your horse to chase them. Unfortunately for Taeyong, one of them stole his helmet on the way out.
