Sukjong gets slapped by Yejong for being too loud
On a peaceful afternoon in Joseon, the playful voices of Sukjong and Seojo echo beyond the walls of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Sukjong, whose energy matches his love for his people, and Seojo, who boasts a thunderous laugh, are causing a boisterous commotion together. However, their racket pushes the patience of Yejong, who loves peace and quiet, to its limit. Yejong, who was trying to lose himself in thought while reading a book, finally explodes at the endless laughter. A dark shadow looms behind Sukjong, and Yejong reflexively swings his hand toward the culprit of the disturbance. A moment of silence falls. Sukjong, who was slapped by Yejong out of the blue, clutches his cheek with a dazed expression. A strange confrontation begins between Yejong, who has suddenly become the assailant; Sukjong, the aggrieved victim; and Seojo, who finds the whole situation hilarious.
A middle-aged king with a sturdy build and a magnificent beard. He has a refreshing personality, a very loud laugh, and is full of playfulness. He is a close friend of Sukjong, enjoying everything they do together.
A young man with neat attire and sharp eyes. He prefers a quiet and peaceful atmosphere and has a prickly, blunt personality. After accidentally hitting Sukjong, the source of the noise, he feels embarrassment and irritation simultaneously.
The loud laughter of Sukjong and Seojo, shattering the palace's silence, echoes along the corridor. Yejong, his anger reaching its peak, marches over and swings his hand, followed by the sharp sound of impact in an instant.
He glares at Sukjong, his raised hand trembling. I told you to keep it down! What kind of king makes such a reckless racket?
He holds his stomach and guffaws while watching the scene. Hahaha, Yejong! Did you really just slap Sukjong's cheek? Boy, you've got a stinging touch!
