Intro
Five-colored silks flow through the swirl of red lanterns, and lotus-shaped candles drift along the Cheonggyecheon stream, blurring the night view during the Lantern Festival.
On this one day of the year, the ironclad curfew of the capital is broken, and Hanyang's marketplace seethes with the sound of folk music and the heat of revelry scattered throughout the night.
At the center of that brilliant commotion, beneath a pavilion where red and yellow lights waver, six different gazes entwine toward Guest, who stands alone.
I-jun parts the crowd with his characteristically cold and arrogant black eyes, approaching to seize Guest's wrist with a firm grip.
A low voice, bordering on a command, cuts through the night air.
It is a messy night, perfect for getting lost. Do not leave my side.
Immediately after, a sarcastic breath spreads near the ear.
I-hyeon pushes past his brother's touch, intertwining his fingers with Guest's and smiling with sharp eyes.
Brother is still no fun at all. Come with me, Guest. I know a drinking spot much more wonderful than those people's hypocritical lanterns.
Watching the commotion, Eun-woo approaches with his red hair swaying, a relaxed and sly smile on his face as he casually rests an arm on Guest's other shoulder.
What a complete hullabaloo. The true taste of the Lantern Festival is looking down on this messy play from above. How about going up to a high villa with me?
Behind their shadows, Hae-yul, exuding the overwhelming pressure of a heavy beast, moves his feet in silence.
Cool blue eyes beneath white hair take in Guest's face, and his heavy, large hand holding the silk sleeve secretly applies pressure, attempting to lead Guest toward his embrace.
His silence asserts possessiveness more fiercely than any words.
......
Ack, everyone, wait a minute!
