Early in the morning, you sit across the table from Hoseok, your fingers curling loosely around your coffee mug. Over the last few weeks, this ritual has become almost second nature. The steam rises in lazy spirals, a fleeting illusion of normalcy, but you know better.

This day is anything but normal.

Hoseok studies you from across the table, his dark eyes steady and searching. You feel the weight of his gaze, as if he’s probing for any hint of doubt, though you’re determined not to give him any this time.

“You’re sure?” he asks, his voice quieter and deeper than usual, as though speaking too loudly might shatter the fragile peace surrounding you. “Once we start, there’s no going back.”

You meet his gaze without flinching. “I’m sure.” Your voice is firmer than you expected, but it feels right. After everything – him, you, the angel – it’s the only certainty you have left.

A flicker of something crosses his face, a brief softening of the lines around his mouth. It’s not quite a smile but close enough, an expression that makes him look startlingly human. He tips his head back, finishing his coffee in a single swallow before setting the mug down with a decisive clink.

“Then let’s go.”

The rain beats relentlessly against the windshield, a steady thrum of drops blending with the low hum of the engine as the car speeds down a dark country road. Pressing your tiny hand against the window, you watch as the world blurs in streaks of silver. The headlights of the car cut through the darkness on the long and desolate road, but the storm outside appears to swallow everything beyond their reach.

Your parents' voices are muffled by the rain, yet what you do hear sounds urgent, tense. Their words seem jumbled, and you can’t quite make them out, but you sense the fear in their voices. Your mother’s voice trembles, like she’s trying to tell you something important, but you don’t understand. Your father’s voice is rising in a sharp, yet comfortable tone all at once, trying to reassure her and keep the panic at bay.

part 1: Falling Into You

part 2: Love Found, Again

part 3: Hearts in Bloom

part 4: Forever Unfolding

After returning from Paris a year ago, you and Jimin fall deeper in love than either of you had before. Your relationship grows stronger as you continue to explore life together, uncovering the intricacies of each other’s worlds. But the past few weeks feel different. Jimin is distant—working late nights, missing dinner plans, and seeming unusually anxious. A sinking doubt creeps into your thoughts – is he losing interest?

Six months had passed, and mornings at Jimin’s apartment had become a cherished ritual. His scent—subtle hints of cedarwood and citrus mixed with fresh laundry—clung to the sheets as sunlight filtered through the wall of windows.

“How could I let her get away? ” Jimin muttered to himself, running a hand over his face as he left work. Constantly throughout his day, you’d been on his mind – your easy laugh, the spark in your eyes, and an unapologetic, carefree personality. You were someone he hadn’t expected yesterday but instantly connected with. And he’d forgotten to ask for your number. “I finally meet someone who feels…right…and I just walk away? Rookie mistake, Jimin.”

Sundays were your day for quiet routines and small pleasures, so every week, without fail, you’d head to the bookstore to add yet another title to your growing collection of unread books. It didn’t matter that you already owned more books than you could read – there was a comforting thrill in discovering what new stories the shelves held, just waiting for the right moment to be opened.

Escape

You had chosen love over duty, and for the first time, you and Jimin shared everything—your fears, your hopes, and your desire for a future where neither of you was a pawn in a game of power. Together, you vowed to dismantle the schemes of your father and bring peace and prosperity to both kingdoms. That night, you felt the weight of your decision settle heavily upon your shoulders, but for the first time, you felt at peace, knowing Jimin stood by your side.

It’d been almost a week, yet Jimin’s words lingered continuously through your mind, no matter how much you tried to brush them aside. You kept your distance, donning the same stoic, controlled demeanor ingrained in you since childhood.

In a kingdom where power ruled all, you’ve always known the weight of your destiny as a Princess. Your mother, the young Queen Consort, passed away shortly after giving birth to your younger brother, the Crown Prince, leaving you and him motherless. Your father, King Jaeheon of Goguryeo, had meticulously trained you in the arts of diplomacy and warfare, preparing you not merely to rule but to conquer. You were groomed to be a fearless leader, a queen who would secure the future of your dynasty through a calculated marriage—a marriage that, as your father had instructed, would expand the land and resources under your control. It was his doctrine of power and survival.

summary: Blinding moonlight dances off the dagger’s blade, its cold shimmer piercing through the night as you grip the handle with unwavering resolve. You straddle your new husband, Prince Jimin, the weight of your destiny pressing heavily upon your shoulders. Adrenaline pulses through your veins, sharpening your senses as the blade’s edge hovers dangerously close to his carotid artery. Your father’s voice reverberates in your mind, a relentless mantra: “Cut the head off the snake, and the body dies.”

The moonlight continues its silent vigil, a stark witness to the moment of betrayal that both binds and separates you. The air is thick with the gravity of your actions, the promise of power and vengeance colliding with the personal cost of your duty. This is the moment where love and loyalty are torn apart by destiny’s cruel hand, where every choice shapes the course of the future, and where the echoes of your father’s command hold sway over your heart.

The future unfurls from this point, marked by the weight of a decision that will ripple through the pillars of power and the depths of personal sacrifice. In this fleeting instant, the world holds its breath, and the path ahead is irrevocably altered. But, the lines blur, and suddenly, you're not sure who the real enemy is: the one in your bed or the one guiding your hand.
