•Fly high, my pretty angel...•|A jongsang story|

Jongho grew up within the cold, unforgiving walls of the Demetris Castle, a place where violence and power ruled. The son of a notorious mafia family, he was raised to believe that life-whether human or animal-was expendable. With ice in his veins, he learned to kill without remorse, embracing the darkness that surrounded him.

But everything changed one day during a hunting trip, deep within the castle's vast territories. Jongho stumbled upon a serene swan lake, its emerald waters glistening in the sunlight. The beauty of the scene meant nothing to him, and with cold precision, he released an arrow into the flock of swans. They scattered in fear, but one remained-a solitary white swan, struck down by his hand.

As Jongho approached the wounded creature, something unexpected stirred within him. The swan, stained with blood, lay on the ground-its pure white feathers marred by the cruelty he had inflicted. For the first time, Jongho felt a pang of guilt, a crack in his icy exterior. Despite his nature, he found himself trying to save the fragile life he had so carelessly endangered.

Days later, a mysterious figure appeared at the gates of Demetris Castle-a warrior with golden hair and an almost divine presence. His name was Yeosang, and his beauty was ethereal, angelic even. Though Jongho's family sought to harm the stranger, something within Jongho drove him to protect Yeosang, even as he pretended not to care.

In secret, Jongho and Yeosang formed an unlikely bond, returning time and again to the Swan Lake-a place of both guilt and redemption. There, amid the tranquility, Jongho discovered a hidden depth within himself, a capacity for compassion he never knew existed.

But as Jongho delved deeper into Yeosang's secrets, he realized that the stakes were higher than he ever imagined. The more he learned, the more fiercely he was compelled to protect Yeosang, even if it meant defying the very family that had shaped him.
