Jin Ahri stumbled through the dense forest, her modern sneakers crunching on the leaves as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. "This is definitely not the museum," she muttered, brushing a branch out of her face.

Jin Ahri: (panting) "Okay, Ahri, think. What would a history buff do in this situation? Wait, am I in a historical drama? No way."

Suddenly, she heard voices ahead. Her heart raced as she peeked through the trees. Three men, dressed in traditional Joseon attire, stood by a small stream. They seemed deep in conversation.

Jimin: (laughing) "I told you, hyung, no one can resist my charm! Even the fiercest warriors can't stay mad at me for long."

Seokjin: (rolling his eyes) "Maybe if you spent half as much time training as you do flirting, you'd be a master swordsman by now."

Jungkook: (serious) "Enough, both of you. We need to stay focused. There have been strange sightings in the forest, and we—"

Before Jungkook could finish, Jin Ahri stepped on a twig, snapping it loudly. The three men immediately turned their heads towards the sound.

Jin Ahri: (nervously) "Uh... hi? I come in peace?"

Jungkook swiftly drew his sword, pointing it at her, his eyes narrowing.

Jungkook: "Who are you? State your business!"

Jin Ahri: (hands up) "Whoa, whoa! Easy with the sword, dude! I'm just a very lost... tourist?"

Seokjin: (raising an eyebrow) "Tourist? In the middle of the forest? And what kind of attire is that?"

Jin Ahri glanced down at her jeans and t-shirt, realizing just how out of place she looked.

Jin Ahri: (awkwardly) "Oh, this? It's, uh, the latest fashion. Very trendy in... uh, my village. You know, far, far away."

Jimin, intrigued by her strange appearance, stepped closer with a grin.

Jimin: (teasingly) "You must be from a very special village to dress like that. What's it called?"

Jin Ahri: (thinking quickly) "It's... uh, New York! Yeah, I'm from the Village of New York."

Jungkook: (confused) "New... York? Never heard of it. Are you some kind of spy?"

Jin Ahri: (laughing nervously) "Spy? Me? No way! I wouldn't even know how to spy if I tried. I'm just a regular, completely normal person who happens to be... incredibly lost."

Seokjin, noticing her unease, lowered his sword slightly.

Seokjin: "She doesn't seem dangerous, Jungkook. Just... very confused."

Jimin: (grinning) "And kind of funny-looking, don't you think? Especially that hair. It's so... brown."

Jin Ahri: (offended) "Hey! I'll have you know this brown hair is considered very stylish where I come from!"

Jungkook, still wary, finally sheathed his sword but kept his eyes on her.

Jungkook: "Alright, New Yorker. What are you doing in this forest?"

Jin Ahri: (sighing) "Honestly? I have no idea. One minute I'm in a museum, the next thing I know, I'm here. Wherever here is."

Seokjin: (thoughtfully) "She could be telling the truth. There have been strange occurrences lately... Maybe she's a victim of one of them."

Jin Ahri, realizing she might have an ally in Seokjin, decided to play along.

Jin Ahri: (dramatically) "Yes! That's exactly what happened! I was... transported here by a... magical artifact. Now, I just need to find my way back before... uh... before something bad happens!"

Jimin: (laughing) "Magical artifact? Hyung, she's either crazy or has a wild imagination."

Jungkook: (seriously) "Whatever the case, we can't leave her here. It's dangerous in these woods. We'll take her with us until we figure out what to do."

Jin Ahri: (relieved) "Oh, thank you! You guys are lifesavers. I promise I won't be any trouble. Just... please, no more pointing swords at me, okay?"

Jungkook nodded, though he remained cautious. As they began to walk, Jin Ahri couldn't help but take in the scenery, trying to make sense of everything. She glanced at Jungkook, Seokjin, and Jimin, who were now leading the way.

Jin Ahri: (to herself) "Great, Ahri. First day in Joseon and you've already made a fool of yourself. Let's hope they don't find out I have no clue what I'm doing..."

Jimin, who had been listening, chuckled to himself before turning to her.

Jimin: (teasing) "Don't worry, New Yorker. We'll make sure you survive—if only for the entertainment."

Jin Ahri couldn't help but smile. Maybe this crazy adventure wouldn't be so bad after all.

As they continued walking, Jin Ahri tried to make sense of the situation. Her eyes darted between the three men, trying to remember everything she had learned about the Joseon era. However, her thoughts were interrupted when she noticed Jimin eyeing her sneakers curiously.

Jimin: (grinning) "What kind of shoes are those? They look so... soft. Are they made of clouds?"

Jin Ahri: (laughing) "These? Oh, these are just, uh, sneakers. They're super comfortable, especially when you're running away from historical confusion."

Seokjin: (raising an eyebrow) "Sneakers? Such a peculiar name. I assume they help you sneak around?"

Jin Ahri: (shrugging) "Well, they do keep things quiet when I need to avoid... unwanted attention."

Jungkook, who had been silently observing, suddenly stopped and turned to face Jin Ahri. His expression was more serious than before.

Jungkook: "Listen, Ahri. If you're truly from a different place—this New York—then you'll need to be careful. Things work differently here. One wrong move, and you could end up in serious trouble."

Jin Ahri swallowed hard, realizing the gravity of the situation.

Jin Ahri: (nodding) "I get it. I'll follow your lead and try not to mess up too much. But, uh, if I do something weird, just... go easy on me, okay?"

Jimin: (smirking) "Weird? With those clothes and that hair, you're already breaking records. But don't worry, New Yorker, we'll protect you."

Seokjin chuckled softly at Jimin's teasing, while Jungkook simply nodded, his expression softening slightly. Despite the strangeness of the situation, Jin Ahri felt a flicker of hope. Maybe, just maybe, she could survive this bizarre adventure with a little help from her new—albeit old-fashioned—friends.
