《Once More • J.Jk FanFic. ✔️》Chapter 5: Picture Frame

(
This bedroom was nice, it was a room that stood out from the others, it was not big as the others which was just perfect.
I chose this one as It had a familiar scent to it, the scent just welcomed me, captivated me and the atmosphere... it was too familiar, I just couldn't help but choose this one, it already made me feel at home...
"Madam," I heard Lhee's voice call out to me along with a knock on the door.
"Here are your bedsheets,"
"Thank you Lhee, this bedroom is really nice don't you think?" I asked as I gladly took the bedsheets from his hands.
"Oh, yeah, this bedroom was the owner's,"
"That woman's son right?"
"Yes madam, Mrs. Jeon's son," He suddenly blurted out which got me to take a halt for a second but I soon shook it off.
"If you were the owner of a big mansion, I figured you might want the biggest room of the house, but instead the young master picked this room instead. It's one of the smallest bedrooms of the estate," I commented as I looked out the floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking a beautiful forest that's just behind the house, which got me curious.
How much of the land does this family own?
"Hey, Lhee, how much of the land does this Jeon family own,"
"What do you mean?"
"This property," I tippy toed as I tried to look from the distance to see if I could spot the city from here.
"Well, they have quite a lot of properties madam, but as for this one, let's say the land goes from the main gate and pretty much up to the city."
"Wait, did you say to the city?" I managed to have said through my dropped jaw.

"Yeah, why else do you think we don't have any neighbors or cars passing by our road?" he simply mentioned as I brought myself back together.
It made much more sense now, no wonder why the cab we took here basically stopped a mile away from the house, leaving me and mother to walk up to this remote area.
I took a look at my bedsheets and I saw a small tag on the corner, I stuck it out to see a tag that said "Jeon's," which got me to think...
"Heh, there's quite a lot of Jeons in Seoul Isn't there?" I unconsciously let out loud.
"What do you mean madam?" The man turned back to me growing a bit confused.
"I mean the company I work for is called Jeon. Corp and another family I live with are also called Jeon... heh. All big coincidences," I say to myself in denial.
I felt Lhee's gaze on me sharpen which caused me to turn around to see what was wrong.
I got confused, he was giving me a look, a look I wasn't able to decipher, but made it seem like he was trying to tell me,
""...Not sure, something along those lines.
"...Well then, if there's nothing else madam I will leave you to your quarters," he said before leaving the room, leaving me there to grow even more confused.
"Was there something wrong with what I said?"
.

I decided to take a look around the house, trying to familiarize myself.
I found myself walking down a hall that seemed quite hidden, only to have spotted a door on the side that you could barely see as if it was just a wall and not some door.
I turned the creaky doorknob and a cloud of dust covered me when I opened the door, it must have been a while since someone's been here. All the curtains were shut.

After I finished blinking the dust out of my eyes, a large library came into view. Floor to ceiling custom made bookshelf. The polished wooden floors are covered with precious persian rugs.
It had the same atmosphere as my bedroom, It seemed homey, warm, and familiar. I wonder why it was hidden, it was so beautiful!
On one side of the wall I pushed open the huge curtains and it was hiding a window that was all glass so it gave you the beautiful view of the lush green forest and further away, the bright Seoul city skyline. You can see Namsan tower from here.
I found myself walking around admiring every object. The library's lights were all turned off and the only source of light for now was the moonlight that came through the glass windows. But I had managed to make out a picture frame that was lying face down on a table before me so I wasn't able to see the picture it contained, I went to fix it up but I wasn't able to wipe off it's dust as I heard my mother's voice call out to me. I'll get back to this I thought and I quickly ran towards the kitchen where my mother was.
"Su', sweetie, can you help change Jungwoo's clothes, I'm a little preoccupied,"
I hesitated to go as I was still curious as to what the picture was but I was walking out of the kitchen and towards Jungwoo by his play area and his books.
Little did I know that picture contained me in it along with the father of Jungwoo.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
