Chapter 01. Everything was wonderful -
Alone in the quiet shadows of a world that wouldn't accept them, hiding in plain sight.
A foreign-blood wizard and a noble heir, two souls bound by a love neither could fully grasp nor abandon. They had shared stolen moments in secret woods, enchanted lands, and rooms where whispers became the only truth they could trust–
A forbidden romance.
Joshua, a foreign-blood wizard, president of the a secret society in Serene Hightower Academy, was the last person anyone would imagine falling for Choi Seung Cheol— a pure-blood, the golden heir of one of the most powerful families in the realm. The very same Choi Seung Cheol whose name was spoken in hushed tones of reverence and fear. And yet, here they were.
Joshua's heart raced as he leaned back against the pillows, the room dark save for the soft glow of moonlight filtering through the window. Outside, the world was still, but inside this quiet room, a secret simmered—
It was messy, tangled, and more complicated than he could ever have imagined. And yet, it was so utterly fascinating. It was a secret that Joshua and his lover kept hidden from the world—though they did their best to keep it under wraps, their bond was undeniable.
"Cheol ah..." Joshua whispered.
Seung Cheol paused mid-motion as his fingers ran through Joshua's hair. His gaze softened, and for a moment, there was no heir to the most powerful family in Carat Land, no student of the prestigious magical school, no expectations—only them. Only this.
