1821

for months, the boys in town tried to win over the beautiful maria miranda's affections to no avail. no matter how hard they tried, she didn't think any of them were worthy of even breathing the same air as her, let alone marrying her. they weren't handsome enough mostly, and none of them came from families she wanted to be associated with.

maria's family was humble, but well off. 

her father made guitars for a living, sold them to the local musicos in town. her family had their workshop on the ground floor of their home, and their living quarters in the upper floor.

as maria rejected suitor after suitor the people in town made all sorts of criticisms--the boys she rejected even started rumors about her. but the general comments were the same. that maria miranda thought she was too good for anyone, and that she was too vain and prideful for anyone to take as a bride.

but the eighteen year old didn't care. she would accept no one who wasn't as beautiful as her.

and one day, such a person arrived in their quaint little town.

who might that person be?

might it be the myth, the legend, park chanyeol? you will just have to continue reading to find out.

if you guys are unaware of mexican history, this story takes place after the war of independence ends and spain recognizes mexico as an independent nation. so that happens in august 1821. 

and this second chapter takes place a few months after that, so i was thinking around october of that same year.
