Cracks in the silence by Aidendaniellarose007

In the quiet solitude of their luxurious home, CEO Hong Haein sat on the plush white sofa, her blue dress contrasting with the soft cushions around her. The evening light filtered through the windows, casting long shadows across the room, mirroring the growing distance in her marriage with Baek Hyunwoo. They were like two icebergs drifting apart, their silence a cold chasm that seemed to widen with each passing day. Haein's gaze was distant, fixed on the door, waiting for the familiar sound of Hyunwoo's key turning in the lock. Yet, the anticipation was tinged with a sense of dread, knowing that their reunion would be just as silent as their separation. Their once warm conversations had turned into cold exchanges, their laughter into sighs, their love into a fragile truce. But deep within, Haein wondered if there was still a chance. Could they mend the cracks that had formed? As she sat there, the room felt colder than ever, yet a flicker of hope ignited within her. Maybe, just maybe, if they could find the courage to break the silence, to confront the icy barrier between them, there was still a chance to save their marriage. To turn the cold into warmth, the silence into dialogue, and the distance into closeness once more. The question lingered in the air, as palpable as the tension: Would they let the ice melt, or would it freeze them apart forever?

The Reluctant Prince | A Hyunho Romance by GoddessofScript

In the grand, opulent halls of the Hwang family's palace, Hyunjin is a wild, free-spirited prince. Although he is the eldest son, he has always shied away from the responsibilities of the throne. His life has been filled with spontaneous adventures, extravagant balls, and the occasional public scandal-anything but the tedious world of politics and leadership. His younger brother, Jeongin, on the other hand, has always been the responsible one. He's intelligent, mature for his age, and far more suited for ruling, but there's one problem-he's too young to take the throne. As their father's health deteriorates, it becomes clear that one of the two Hwang brothers will have to take up the mantle of leadership. Hyunjin is the natural heir, but he wants no part in it. He can't bear the thought of a life constrained by royal duties, ceremonial events, and endless political maneuvering. Desperate to avoid assuming the throne, Hyunjin hatches a plan: if Jeongin could marry into another royal family or noble house, his youth wouldn't matter, and he could take over as ruler without the complications of succession. With that goal in mind, Hyunjin invites Prince Minho from a neighboring kingdom, under the guise of a trade agreement, hoping to set sparks flying between Minho and Jeongin. A marriage proposal between Jeongin and Minho could solve everything, and Hyunjin would be free to continue his carefree life.
