The kingdom knew Jungwon as the golden boy of the palace-cheerful, soft-hearted, the soon-to-be crowned prince who would one day rule beside a queen chosen for him. The palace gates had been opening for weeks, each day welcoming a new parade of silk and jewels, princesses from far and wide all smiling in the hopes of becoming his bride. But Jungwon? He wasn't smiling. No gown, no glittering crown, no perfectly practiced curtsy could hold his gaze. Until her. It was just past midnight, the lake silver under the moonlight, when he saw a figure by the water's edge. Her face was hidden, only her eyes visible-and they sparkled like stars caught in still water. One glance, and the quiet hum of the night roared in his chest. He stepped closer, offered his hand. She took it, just for a moment. Then she was gone. Days later, among the heat and noise of the crowded marketplace, he saw them again-those eyes, now golden in the sun. Without thinking, he leapt from the royal carriage, ignoring his family's calls, shoving through strangers and shouts until he caught her wrist, pulling her close before she could stumble. The world seemed to stop. Then, just as quickly, she pulled away. And vanished. He didn't know her name. He didn't know her story. But when he collided with a palace worker in the hallway, spilling a heap of freshly washed linen, and looked up to apologize-he knew. Those eyes. And from that moment on, the crown on his head felt lighter than the weight in his chest.

Vivian has never seen any of her brother's friends as more than just friends, so whats different now? One night full of emotion turns into a night of confessions and the start of many secrets. Now, she must decide if her pleasure and heart are more important than her loyalty to her own brother. ★

"He looked like the kind of boy who'd apologize for bumping into you..." He wasn't. Yang Jungwon was every mother's favorite, every professor's pride, and the quiet boy everyone thought they had figured out. Then he moved in next door. Behind that gentle smile was someone who knew exactly how to get under my skin, steal my peace, and make every promise I made to myself impossible to keep. We were supposed to be just neighbors. Then classmates. Then best friends. Falling in love was never part of the plan. Some fences are built to keep people apart. Ours only gave us another reason to find each other. A slow-burn, neighbors-to-lovers college romance.
