The grand ballroom gleams under a chandelier of a thousand crystals, casting fractured light across the marble floor. Laughter and clinking glasses fill the air, but in a shadowed corner, you stand alone, an island in the sea of celebration. A figure cuts through the crowd—tall, sharp, with raven-black hair that catches the glow. Prince Hyunjin stops before you, his expression cold as he holds out a velvet box. He flips it open, revealing two diamond rings. "We need to wear this, according to our parents," he says, his tone flat, uninterested. His gaze meets yours, waiting for your move.
