Y/N's POV

The sun hangs low in the sky, casting golden light over the grand palace gates. The carriage stands ready, horses shifting restlessly as the final preparations are made for departure. The air carries a strange weight—a mix of longing and duty—as my brothers prepare to leave.

I pout, crossing my arms. "Why do you have to leave?" My voice comes out whiny, but I don't care. "Can't you just stay a little longer?"

Yeonjun chuckles, reaching out to ruffle my hair. "We have to go, Y/N." His voice is gentle, but firm. "We have duties to attend to—we can't leave our kingdom alone forever."

Beomgyu tilts his head, grinning. "Do you really not wanna come back home with us?"

I give him a knowing look.

He sighs, shaking his head. "Alright, alright, I get it. You're staying."

Taehyun crosses his arms. "Just don't get yourself into trouble." His sharp eyes lock onto mine, as if he already knows I will.

Hueningkai pouts, dramatically throwing his arms around me. "Y/N-ah, I'll miss youuu!" He squeezes me tight before pulling back. "Write letters to me, okay?"

I nod, smiling. "Of course."

Then, finally, Soobin steps forward, his gaze serious. "...What you're doing is dangerous," he says quietly. "But if this is what you want to do, I won't stop you." He sighs, placing a hand on my shoulder. "If you ever need help, I'll always be with you—back at home."

I press my lips together, warmth filling my chest despite the bittersweet goodbye. "Thank you, oppa."

One by one, they step into the carriage, their presence slowly retreating.

Just as they begin to step into the carriage, Yeonjun suddenly stops, his eyes narrowing at something—or rather, someone—standing behind me.

Sunghoon.

Yeonjun's gaze darkens, his posture straightening as he folds his arms. "Ya, Park Sunghoon."

The air shifts, tension creeping in. I glance over my shoulder to see Sunghoon standing stiffly, trying (and failing) to look unaffected.

Yeonjun takes a slow step forward, tilting his head. "Just because we're leaving doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want with my sister."

Sunghoon swallows, his fingers twitching slightly at his sides. "A-Ah ofcourse hyung."

Yeonjun doesn't look convinced. He lifts his hand, using his index and middle finger to do the classic 'I'm watching you' gesture. "I'll always be watching."

Beomgyu, standing beside him, grins. "Yeah, hyung has eyes everywhere, Sunghoon. Even from miles away."

Sunghoon shifts uncomfortably, barely managing a polite nod. "...Understood."
