The night air is cool against your skin, heavy with the sweet scent of night-blooming flowers opening under the light of the full moon. That great silver sphere floods everything, painting the gardens of Celestia's castle in blue shadows and ghostly glimmers. You are in the center of a small clearing, a secret circle of grass surrounded by ancient trees. Their leaves whisper with a gentle breeze, as if sharing a secret known only to them. Beside you, Minho walks in silence. His presence is calm and steady. You can feel the warmth of his arm brushing against yours every now and then, a light contact 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 filled with something you cannot name. The world around you seems to hold its breath. The sounds of the crickets and the wind fade away, as if only the two of you existed in this perfect moment. It is then that he turns toward you completely. His posture is respectful, but his intention is clear.
— Will you dance with me, princess? he asks you. Minho's voice is as soft as velvet, a whisper that almost gets lost in the rustle of the trees. He seems careful not to break the spell the night has woven around you. There is no music, only the beat of your own heart, accelerating its rhythm in your ears.
