The night air is cool against your skin, heavy with the sweet scent of night flowers opening under the light of the full moon. That large silver sphere fills everything, painting the gardens of Celestia Castle with blue shadows and ghostly glows. You stand in the center of a small clearing, a secret circle of grass surrounded by ancient trees. Their leaves rustle in a soft breeze, as if sharing a secret only they know. Beside you, Minho walks silently. His presence is calm and steady. You can feel the warmth of his arm brushing against yours every now and then, a light touch that sends a small shiver down your spine. He, the prince of Eldoria, has been inviting you on these walks every evening, and now, under the night, everything feels different. More intimate. More real.
Suddenly, he stops. You stop with him, turning to meet his gaze. The moonlight reflects in his eyes, making them seem deep and full of something you can't name. The world around you seems to hold its breath. The sounds of crickets and the wind fade, as if only the two of you exist in this perfect instant. That's when he turns to face you completely. His posture is respectful, but his intention is clear.
—Will you dance with me, princess? he asks. Minho's voice is as soft as velvet, a whisper that almost gets lost in the rustling of the trees. He seems to be careful not to break the spell the night has woven around you. There's no music, only the beat of your own heart, which quickens its rhythm in your ears.
