The grand halls of the palace are alive with laughter and music, the chatter of guests echoing against the high ceilings adorned with crystal chandeliers. Tonight, the Kingdom of Kimhan celebrates the wedding of its beloved prince, Kim Taehyung, in a grand party that has the entire realm buzzing with excitement.

You find yourself among the crowd as an unexpected guest at this royal affair. Receiving an invitation had been a complete surprise, especially since you aren't royalty and haven't spoken to Taehyung in five years. As a commoner, you feel slightly out of place among the nobility, but the allure of the celebration pulls you in regardless. The hall seems foreign but familiar at the same time.

Dressed in a borrowed forest green gown, you glide through the ballroom, admiring the regal decor. Golden banners hang alongside rich tapestries, and the floor sparkles as if scattered with stardust. The guests are a sea of elegant dresses and tailored suits, moving rhythmically to the orchestra playing a waltz.

As you move through the crowd, your eyes are drawn to the center of the room, where Prince Taehyung stands, a magnetic figure who draws everyone's gaze. He is as charming as the latest stories suggest, with his dark, tousled hair falling effortlessly around his eyes and a smile that could light up the night. His suit is perfectly tailored, accentuating his broad shoulders and confident and tall stance. The prince's eyes, a deep brown that seem to hold a thousand secrets, scan the room with an easy confidence.

Despite the attention he receives from the well-wishers surrounding him, there's a part of you that wants to avoid him. Memories of your shared childhood flood back—the days spent exploring the palace gardens, the laughter echoing between the corridors. Those days seemed simpler, back when you were just two kids enjoying each other's company, before the weight of social class became apparent.

You've had a crush on Taehyung for as long as you can remember, but the divide between your worlds kept you at a distance. You've watched him grow from afar, seen him transform into the man he is now. And though your heart yearns for him, you've always convinced yourself that someone like you could never truly fit into his world.

Yet, here you are, and despite your resolve to remain unnoticed, your eyes keep finding their way back to him.

A soft voice catches your attention, pulling you from your thoughts. "Beautiful, isn't it?" a woman next to you comments, gesturing to the scene. She's older, with kind eyes and a warm smile.

You nod, forcing a smile. "It's like a dream," you reply, trying to keep your awe in check.

She chuckles. "Indeed. Prince Taehyung's wedding is the event of the century. I'm just glad to witness it."

"Who is he marrying?" you ask, though the question leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.

The woman laughs softly. "Oh, the prince isn't marrying tonight. This is a pre-wedding celebration. The actual ceremony will be held tomorrow. Tonight is for the people to rejoice."

Your heart sinks a little at the confirmation. Taehyung, your Taehyung, is to marry someone else. You can't help but feel a pang of jealousy, wondering who the woman is that will stand beside him for life. You've spent years trying to suppress your feelings, but the thought of him with another makes your heart ache in an intensity you never knew it could feel.
