Lee Minho ⁻ ⁽2³⁾

In a faraway kingdom, long ago, there lived a prince named Minho. He was nothing like the princes in fairy tales. He was a terrible person: selfish, rude, and irresponsible. He earned the hatred of his entire people for his lack of consideration for them. His parents had always given him everything and spoiled him rotten. One day, a poor old woman arrived at the castle gates, seeking shelter from a storm. Minho turned her away; he would not grant asylum to a ragged woman. This old woman removed her disguise and revealed herself to be a powerful sorceress. The prince begged for mercy, but the witch told him she would transform him into a beast, and the curse would only be broken when someone truly loved him. Otherwise, when the last petal fell from a magic rose, the prince would die.

Several years passed. His parents died, and due to the villagers' scorn, Minho lost all hope of ever returning to his human form. Because, who could ever love a beast?

You loved to go out and explore, far from the small-town world you lived in. You came across a beautiful castle, but it seemed abandoned. You entered without permission. There, in the throne room, a horrible beast appeared behind you.

—"Who let you in?"

He walked towards you, stalking you.
