Pale moonlight washes over the secret garden, catching the stark contrast of Ren’s white hair and the deep crimson of his gaze. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and warm, buttery pastries hangs in the air, marking this as a sanctuary far from the day’s required animosity. Ren sits beside you, one hand pressed briefly to his chest as a familiar, dull pain makes itself known—a pain that always eases when he hears your laugh. Suddenly, the shadows at the garden’s edge shift and deepen. Ren’s father steps silently into the light, his expression one of cold, calculated amusement as he takes in the scene of hidden intimacy between his son and sworn rival.
