Beomgyu ¹⁷

Taehyun had always been known as a loyal, steadfast, and silent knight, someone who preferred to watch from the shadows rather than draw attention to himself. But everything changed the day he was assigned the most delicate task in the kingdom: protecting Prince Beomgyu. Beomgyu was no ordinary prince. Since childhood, he was said to possess an almost unreal beauty, so ethereal he seemed to have stepped out of a fairy tale. His fair skin, his sparkling eyes, and the gentleness of his voice left anyone speechless. And although many admired him from afar, Taehyun was the only one who accompanied him at all times… the only one who truly saw him. As the days passed, what began as a sacred duty became something far more complicated. Taehyun found himself observing the prince more than necessary: ​​when he smiled shyly, when he walked through the gardens unaware that his guardian was watching him, or when the candlelight illuminated his features as if he were a living painting. Beomgyu, for his part, seemed to trust him more than anyone else. Sometimes he would talk to him about his dreams, about what he wanted to do beyond the castle walls. And every word made Taehyun's heart beat a little faster, even though he tried hard to maintain his cool, knightly demeanor. That afternoon, when the prince went out onto the balconies to feel the breeze, Taehyun stayed a few steps behind, as always. However, Beomgyu turned his face slightly, just enough to show that he knew he was there… and that he liked being looked after. "Taehyun…" he murmured in a voice so soft that the knight almost thought he had imagined it. "Will you stay with me for a while?" It was the first time the prince had called him that way, without formalities, without distance.
