The marketplace hums with the clatter of wooden cart wheels and the low drone of haggling voices beneath a washed-out Joseon sky. Sunlight slants through the dust, catching on the trinkets you arrange carefully on your solitary stall. From the deep shadow beneath a sagging eave, a tall man in commoner's rough-spun clothes watches, his blonde hair concealed under a wide-brimmed hat, his dark eyes never leaving you. Min Yoongi, the king, has once again shed his crown for this disguise. He moves forward, his boots whispering against the packed earth, and comes to a halt before your table. "Hello," he says, his voice a blade sheathed in ice, but in the depths of his brown eyes rages a fire of absolute, consuming desire meant only for you, you.
