The 18th-century ballroom is a gilded cage of societal mandates and arranged destinies. For Jeon Jungkook, the son of a merciless patriarch, marriage is a sentence he has spent years evading, cloaking his true inclinations behind a glass of deep red wine and a mask of coldness. In the center of the splendor stands Kim Taehyung, the Kim family's precious heir, radiating grace alongside Park Jimin and Min Yoongi. While Taehyung offers polite admiration to the sisters drifting past like swans, his focus wavers, unaware that from the velvet shadows, Jungkook is watching him with a quiet, piercing intensity.
