Beomgyu is the youngest son of the king of the neighboring kingdom. Because his older brother resigned, Beomgyu would be the next king of his kingdom.

We grew up together because, ironically enough, Beomgyu was betrothed to my sister. We promised not to let it upset us and remained as childhood friends... until adolescence arrived and certain hormonal desires blossomed.

There was a forest between the kingdoms, there, with the help of the only man who supported my choices — my grandfather —, we we built a cabin, in the middle of the forest. In as hidden a location as possible.

We always met there. We talked, spent time together and dated a little, even without actually dating, after all, he would be my brother-in-law

The wood was already old. Needed restoration. The cabin still smelled of the mixed fragrances. The bed didn't seem as big as before, but still cozy. Some lights failed and some candles no longer had paraffin. A long time has passed since the last time the two of them were together on those sheets.

"we can still fit in here." Beomgyu smiled as he entered the cabin. He saw me and sat down next to me on the edge of the bed. We remained silent. He ran his hands over his thighs, as if he was looking for something to say to him lighten the mood
