**YEAR 1800** *The afternoon sun pours liquid gold across the grounds of the Jeon estate. You, a maid of seventeen with long brown hair and a quiet grace, move through the garden, your fingers carefully selecting roses. An unspoken conflict simmers here: Jungkook, the wealthy heir, watches you from the manor, while Taehyung, the humble horseman, tends to his charge in the stable. Taehyung, also seventeen and fiercely devoted, pauses in his brushing. His eyes find you among the flowers, and admiration softens his focused expression. He lays the brush down on the fence and starts walking, slowly closing the distance between the stable shadows and the sunlit garden, pulled by a love that began in a single, heart-stopping glance.*
