Doodle If Callisto follows Siyeon to the modern world AU

In time travel movies, when the time traveler asks 'What year is this?!?' they're always treated like they're being weird for asking.

When in reality, if you go 'What year is this?!?' people will just say '2024. Crazy huh.' and you go 'Wtf where has my youth gone.'

And if you ask 'And what month??' people won't judge you, they'll just go like 'SEPTEMBER!!! Can you believe it?!?!' and you go 'WHAT?!? Last time I checked we were in May?!?'

AU- Callisto follows Siyeon to Korea

throwing ideas back and forth with @sakihime02 helps get brain juice flowing for ditoeftv/vadd

Through the bullshit that is the game system, when Callisto follows Siyeon back, he has identification and other basic necessary stuff(I'm lazy k)

Anyways, Siyeon tracks Callisto down after she recovers in the hospital and they move in together

Sidenote, he looked at her original run-down apartment and had to be held back from going over and killing her first brother

Sadly, no murders happened, and out of guilt Siyeon's dad provides her with a bank account with monthly deposits of money and a luxurious penthouse apartment

Siyeon shows everyone just how driven she can be when she tears through the coursework that she missed when she was in a coma due to her stomach cancer and being thrown into the game, graduating early with flying colors

At the same time, she teaches Callisto about the modern world

Like Siyeon, Callisto has a natural drive to be good at everything, which stems from his time as Crown Prince

So he gets adjusted to modern life pretty quick, but ngl he misses Eorka sometimes because then he could kill whoever looked at Siyeon with lustful eyes

Anyways, Siyeon travels around doing archaeology, Callisto basically hitching a ride and getting to travel with his beautiful girlfriend around the world

Years later, they come back to Korea and settle down, Siyeon becoming an archaeology professor

Callisto's a househusband and a damn good one at that

Let's be honest. If he wanted to, he could've been a supermodel, he had enough scouts approaching him

But he didn't want to leave Siyeon, so he stuck onto her like a tick LMAO

When the two go shopping, heads turn at their collective beauty

They usually get stopped for streetwear photography accounts

Callisto runs a popular Instagram account filled with pictures of their trips, Siyeon being focused on her work, couple outfits and pictures, Siyeon waving back at the camera-

Later on, there are a lot of pictures of Judith

On a side note, when he played "The Lady's Love Project" he was super frustrated and basically spent nights hugging and kissing Siyeon after he chose his own route in hard mode, or when the player succeeded Callisto's route and Penelope died

Ok so when Judith is born, Siyeon begrudgingly lets her family come see Judith

Her dad cried, and her brothers are awkward but trying to do their best(better than Derrick)

Anyways, Callisto is super smitten with their little bundle of joy

He's the one who usually wakes up in the middle of the night to soothe Judith back to sleep, patting her back and telling her stories

As she babbles back at him

Because Siyeon usually has long hours working and lecturing, she comes back exhausted most of the time

So she's tired, but plays with Judith and basically has mother-daughter bonding time in the evenings and early mornings

Callisto is the gold-standard papa y'all

He tries to hold onto some reminder of Eorka in his modern life

Like, for example, he commissioned a jeweler to recreate his mother's keepsake, the pendant Penelope gave him, and has a replica of the cufflinks she gave him

He also incorporates some of Eorkan fashion into Judith's clothing, because "our princess should look like a princess"

Callisto: Looks at Korean children's fashion "psh I can do much better"

He learns how to sew and basically makes/modifies most if not all of Judith's clothing

He made a bunch of clothes for Siyeon, too

The tiny family matches

They rescued a dog a little before Judith was born when they first settled back down in Korea

Big floofy dog, very gentle :D head empty no thoughts

Callisto definitely learned how to do Judith's hair

Ok so- once Siyeon was in a rush to get to a lecture and forgot the lunch that he made for her

So Callisto bundles up Judith, gets the lunchbox, and drives all the way to her university

*He's a car person but goes for safety when driving with Siyeon and Judith

Callisto arrives looking like a goddamn SNACK with his white trenchcoat, black slacks, burgundy sweater, and swept-up blond hair- MMPH

He has Judith balanced on one hip with a bag slung over another, holding Siyeon's lunch

"Hi I'm looking for Cha Siyeon?"

"She's in a class right now, can I get a name and reason for visiting?"

"Callisto(or whatever Korean name he gets), her husband. She forgot something at home"

The receptionist sends a message to Siyeon and cooes over a sleepy Judith, who's still incoherently whining quietly and burying her head into Callisto's chest

Siyeon's like "let them in" and so they get in

He gets to her classroom and opens the door, it's a period for their class to go over their research projects and discuss with partners, so that's why she lets them into the classroom, otherwise she'd just have him drop off the lunch with the front desk

"You forgot your lunch, love," as he plonks down the lunchbox and kisses her cheek

The students are squealing, even more as Judith yawns and rubs her eyes sleepily

"Mama!" Judith stretches her arms out as Siyeon scoops up her daughter, kissing her forehead. "Look, look! Daddy helped do my hair today!" Even more awws from the crowd of students

"This is a new dress, did daddy make it for you?" Her voice is soft but still could be heard by all of the students

"mhm!! look, look, we match now! Daddy let me choose the lace!" Pastel purple outfits, because Siyeon's outfit in the manhwa was basically a pastel purple shirt and white pants

Instant KO for the students

The female students are all crowding around like "PROFESSOR WHERE DID YOU GET A GUY LIKE HIM"

the guys are like "goddamnit why's he so perfect"

Soon enough the two became known as the "perfect couple", cemented by the fact that someone caught Callisto calling Siyeon "my darling empress" tenderly

Siyeon has him come in for a demonstration when she's doing a unit on weaponry found in archaeology, and how to look for specific wear and tear on weapons

Callisto is just happy he gets to use a sword and other weapons again

Judith is like giggling and clapping her hands in Siyeon's lap "again! again, servant emperor!"

accepting that i want a comfortable life rather than a successful one.

just take me to a walkable city with good and clean public transportation and multiple parks and i'll be happy forever

VERY HOT TAKE: Rory Gilmore is an annoying person and i need to find more Rory Gilmore clips that humbles her.

No im not jealous or envious that i cant study like that (I’ve accepted that part of me) , she’s just really insufferable and annoying.

Its crazy how much patience those characters have for her cause if i was one of them I’d immediately be called an opp💀

The actual greek letter and its translation

Μαζί σου, έμαθα καινούργια πράγματα που δεν ήξερα για μένα. Στην αρχή δεν μπορούσα να δεχτώ αυτή την απαγορευμένη αγάπη, αλλά τώρα όταν σε βλέπω, τα αισθήματα μου ξεχειλίζουν.

Αγαπώ μια χώρα και μιλάω μια γλώσσα που δε γνώριζα καθόλου. Όσο περισσότερο γνωρίζω τη χώρα σου, τόσο περισσότερο σε καταλαβαίνω. Ξέρω από που πηγάζει αυτό το πάθος σου και όλο και πιο πολύ το θαυμάζω και αγαπώ.

Το χρώμα του δέρματος σου και τα μάτια σου μου θυμίζουν το γαλανόλευκο της σημαίας μου και πιστεύω στην αιωνιότητα του αστεριού της σημαίας της πατρίδας σου που ταξιδεύει στο κόκκινο χρώμα της και συμβολίζει τη ζωή, που εσύ δε θα διαστάσεις να θυσιάσεις.

Για μένα είσαι όλα τα λάβαρα όλων των Εθνών, όλου του κόσμου. Όταν σε σκέφτομαι τα σύνορα, το χρώμα κάθε ανθρώπου και τα σύμβολα τους χάνονται. Όταν σε σκέφτομαι χάνομαι.

——————————

With you, I learn new things I didn’t know about myself. At first I couldn’t accept this forbidden love, but now when I see you, my feelings boil over/overwhelm me.

I love a country and I speak a language I never knew. The more I get to know your country the better I understand you. I know the source of your passion and more and more I admire and love it.

The color of your skin and your eyes remind me of the blue and white of my flag and I believe in the eternity of the star on your country’s flag that travels/sails on its red color and embodies the life you won’t hesitate to sucrifice.

For me you are the flags of all the nations, of all the people. When I think of you the borders, the color of every person and their flags disappear. When I think of you I disappear.

Callisto: I told you to keep it a secret!
