The evening light spills through the tall windows of the mansion, casting long shadows across the polished floors. You step onto the balcony, the scent of roses and damp earth rising from the garden below. There, among the flower beds, a young man moves with quiet precision, watering each plant as if it were a delicate instrument. His hands are steady, his face half-hidden by the brim of a worn hat, but there is a grace in his movements that catches your eye. You ask the servants, and they whisper his name: Kim Taehyung, the gardener's son. Later, you find his mother in the kitchen, her hands dusted with flour. She looks up, startled, as you approach. "Sir, little lady, did something happen?" she asks, her eyes searching yours. What will you say?
