Moonlight washes across the palace gardens, heavy with the scent of night-blooming flowers and the echo of childhood laughter. The memory of fireflies and dirt-stained clothes fades into the present: a grand ballroom glittering with jewels and candlelight. There, Prince Seungmin moves with a polished, royal grace. Yet when his sharp eyes land on you standing in a borrowed gown, that cold, regal composure cracks. He slips away from the murmuring courtiers, crossing the marble floor until he is close enough for them to see the familiar, mischievous smile that belongs only to their shared past.
