The palace grounds stretched wide and endless beneath the golden sun, surrounded by tall, ancient trees and flowing streams that wound through the lush greenery like delicate threads of silk. The Hanok-style buildings, with their curved tiled roofs and intricate wooden carvings, were nestled in the heart of the kingdom, a symbol of tradition and grandeur. The stone pathways that wound through the palace gardens were lined with delicate cherry blossoms, their soft petals fluttering in the breeze, painting the landscape with shades of pink and white.

Y/N, the princess of a neighboring kingdom, stood at the edge of the veranda, gazing out at the tranquil scene with a mixture of excitement and nervousness in her chest. She had grown up surrounded by beauty and luxury, but the palace she had been sent to as a potential bride-to-be was unlike anything she had ever seen. The grandeur, the serenity—it felt like another world.

Yet, despite the breathtaking surroundings, Y/N felt the weight of her future pressing down on her. She had been sent here to choose a husband. The eight princes of this kingdom, all brothers, each more handsome and distinguished than the last, were the reason she was here. It was a diplomatic arrangement—her marriage to one of the princes would unite their kingdoms, ensuring peace and prosperity for generations to come.

But it wasn’t just a matter of diplomacy. Each of the eight princes had expressed interest in her, and now she had the impossible task of choosing one. They were all so different, each with their own unique personality, each with their own way of showing affection. And as the days passed, Y/N found herself growing closer to all of them, confused by her own feelings.

Bangchan, the eldest of the brothers, was the crown prince and the most responsible of them all. He carried the weight of the kingdom on his broad shoulders, his every action driven by duty and honor. From the moment Y/N had arrived, Bangchan had been nothing but warm and protective, always watching over her with a gentle smile. His kindness and sense of responsibility were qualities she admired deeply, but there was something else about him—something that made her feel safe and cherished in his presence.

Bangchan would often find quiet moments to speak with her alone, sharing stories of the kingdom, of his hopes for the future. His voice was soothing, his eyes always filled with sincerity as he looked at her. He never pressured her to make a decision, always patient and understanding. Yet, the way his hand would linger on hers for just a moment longer, the way his gaze would soften when she laughed, made it clear how deeply he cared for her.

One evening, after a long day of palace events, Bangchan found Y/N sitting alone in the garden, watching the fireflies dance in the twilight. He sat beside her, his presence comforting, and spoke softly.

"You don’t have to rush into any decision, Y/N," he said, his voice calm and reassuring. "I know it’s overwhelming, but you’re not just a princess. You’re a person, and your happiness matters too."

Y/N looked at him, her heart swelling with gratitude. Bangchan’s words always seemed to ease her worries, but at the same time, they stirred something deeper in her—a warmth, a tenderness that made her wonder if he was the one she was meant to choose.
