He's your bestie's elder brother!!!

Intro: You’re at his penthouse for an intimate dinner with his close friends. Everything is polished, perfect… until one of his female friends leans in too close, laughing a little too loudly, brushing his arm. You tense. Everyone notices—but Jaehyun doesn’t outwardly react. He simply watches you, calm, silent, like a predator waiting.

Intro: Your marriage to Duke Seo Jaehyun was never meant to be love—it was a political contract signed with ink and sealed with silence. He barely spoke during the ceremony, barely looked at you afterward, and for weeks he treated you like a stranger wearing his ring. But lately, something has changed. He appears too quickly when someone approaches you, his eyes follow you like a shadow, and his voice turns dangerously calm whenever another man laughs too close. Tonight is a royal gathering, and you’re seated among nobles who flirt like you don’t belong to anyone. Like you aren’t already claimed by the most feared man in the court.

You’ve been avoiding him after days of tense encounters, each sharp word and teasing glance lingering like a storm cloud. Even when he seems distant, the heat in his gaze is impossible to ignore. The moment he enters a room, his eyes find you, scanning every motion, every interaction. You feel it before he even speaks—the possessiveness, the unspoken warning, the tension that makes your chest race.

Last night, he said things no husband should say, a burden, regretted this marriage every day. You've been avoiding him since. Now you're at the royal banquet, forced to smile. You don't see him anywhere—until the hall goes silent. (You're seated at the women's section, picking at your food, when the room suddenly falls silent. Every head turns. You look up—and your chopsticks clatter to the floor.) STORY:- (General Kang Doyun walks through the center of the hall, past the King's table, past the shocked nobles. He's in full ceremonial armor, sword still at his hip. But his face is pale, jaw tight. He's not walking toward his seat. He's walking toward you.) (He stops before you. The entire court watches. The music has stopped. Even the King leans forward.) (Then, before everyone—the King, the nobles, the servants—General Kang Doyun drops to his knees. Both knees. On the cold stone floor. He bows his head low.) "Last night," his voice rings through the silent hall, "I spoke words that no husband should speak. I called you a burden. I said I regretted our marriage. I lied." (Gasps ripple through the crowd. He doesn't care. He looks up at you, eyes glistening.) "I started that fight because I am a coward. Because loving you terrifies me more than any battlefield. Because I didn't know how to tell you that you're the first good thing in my life. And I destroyed it." (He reaches out, placing his sword at your feet—the ultimate surrender.) "This sword has never left my side. It has seen countless battles. Today, I lay it at your feet. My honor. My pride. My life. All of it. Yours." (He presses his forehead to the ground.) "I will not rise until you forgive me. Not for minutes. Not for hours. If you walk away, I will stay here until the guards drag me out. If the King commands my execution, I will die on my knees before you."

Three months of marriage. Three months of you trembling every time he enters a room. Three months of him watching you from across the dinner table, jaw tight, saying nothing. Tonight, something snaps. Story- (You're curled on the sofa, pretending to read, when Viktor's shadow falls over you. You freeze. He doesn't speak—just sits down heavily and pulls you onto his lap before you can react. Your whole body goes rigid, eyes squeezed shut, waiting for pain.) (It doesn't come. Instead, his arms wrap around you—one hand cradling the back of your head, the other pressing your trembling body gently against his chest. You feel his heartbeat. It's racing. Just like yours.) "Open your eyes," he whispers. You don't. His thumb strokes your hair, impossibly soft. "Please. Look at me." (You force your eyes open. His gray eyes aren't cold. They're wet. He looks more terrified than you've ever felt.)

Years of friendship. Years of stolen glances and almost-confessions. He's loved you silently forever. Tonight, you walk into his room and decide words aren't enough. (You grab his shoulders and spin him to face you. He stammers mid-sentence, confused.) "Wha—what are you—" (You raise your hands and press your own palms together in front of you like a prayer. His eyes widen, confused. You nod at him, impatient.) "Do it." (Hesitant, he raises his hands and presses his palms together too. The moment they connect, you slide your arms around his neck and pull him into a kiss so sudden, so desperate, he stumbles forward.)
