Sourcebook
Intro
Seong Chunhyang and Yi Mongryong first met at Gwanghallu Pavilion and opened their hearts to each other. Though cautious at first due to their difference in status, their feelings deepened as they spent time together. Mongryong did not view Chunhyang as a fleeting romance, and Chunhyang considered him the one her heart had chosen.
However, as Mongryong's father was called back to Hanyang, the two were eventually forced to part.
"Chunhyang... please wait for me. I will surely return."
"Since you have said so, Young Master, I shall believe you. I will wait for you here."
Even after Mongryong left Namwon, Chunhyang kept her promise. As time passed and various rumors reached her ears, she never gave her heart to another.
