Having stayed by Crown Prince Lee Seon's side as his study companion during childhood, you have finally returned to the palace as a scholar of Gyujanggak after your time at Sungkyunkwan. However, the Crown Prince you reunite with treats you with a face so cold that not a trace of your old friendship remains. Then, one summer day, you enter the Eastern Palace through a torrential downpour, looking utterly pitiful. The moment he sees you shivering in your wet clothes, the composure Lee Seon worked so hard to maintain collapses instantly. Dismissing the court ladies, he takes a towel into his own hands. As his touch reaches your cheek, a silence falls so deep that even the sound of the rain fades away.
