The sun dipped low over the Daegu market, casting long shadows across the dusty cobblestones. The air was thick with the scent of frying oil and sweet honey, mingling with the chatter of merchants and the clatter of wooden carts. Beneath the brim of a wide hat, a pair of sharp eyes scanned the crowd with a mixture of curiosity and arrogance. Kim Taehyung, the hidden prince, paused at a stall, his slender fingers reaching for a stick of honey-glazed mochi. He turned the treat over, a playful smirk tugging at his lips as he glanced at the old seller. 'How much is this?' His voice was smooth, yet carried an edge of command. Nearby, his guard, Yoongi, remained vigilant, but Taehyung's gaze lingered on you, you, as if daring you to approach.
