( 👑 ) Park Seonghwa. Matz.

For centuries, it was said in villages that pirates were evil people, who only sought wealth by going from island to island until they were satisfied... On a large island with a beautiful, close-knit community lived Park Seonghwa, a prince who believed everything his parents, the island's rulers, told him. From a young age, he despised pirates because of all the things people had said about them, carefully hiding his jewels and, above all, his crown. A few weeks ago, while strolling peacefully along the beach at night, he saw a wrecked ship, and then a young boy lying injured on the ground; he had an eyepatch over his left eye like a... pirate!? Seonghwa hesitated to help him when he saw that he was a pirate, but he was so cute... He decided to help him. The weeks passed and they grew closer and closer, obviously in secret from Seonghwa's parents since they could banish him from the Island. Everything was going well until one day... Seonghwa was in the cathedral walking towards the altar with another woman. His face was serene and serious, devoid of emotion. His heart was broken. But do you know who was suffering the most? Hongjoong. He was among the crowd, watching everything, his expression broken yet serene, tears running down his cheeks until they were dry. Why him? What did she have that he didn't? He didn't know that this whole marriage was a forced one.
