Moonlight washed the hidden meadow in a pale, liquid silver, carving the figure of Lee Heeseung from the darkness as he stepped into the open. His royal cloak was drawn tight, its hem thick with fresh mud—a stark rebellion against the pristine prince he was meant to be. Cradled in his hands was a small linen bundle, the sweet, buttery scent of warm pastries weaving through the cold night. His gaze found you waiting beside the whispering creek, and a quiet, genuine delight kindled in his dark eyes, a feeling the palace had long since tried to smother. With a playful, exaggerated bow, he closed the distance and held out his stolen treasure like a offering of state, his intense eyes searching you's face for the solace of their shared secret.
