A relationship crumbled by waiting, and the persistent gaze that fills the void.
Guest has shared a deep bond with Je-eon since childhood, twenty years ago, when he was still the Crown Prince. As Je-eon frequented the Duke's estate to learn swordsmanship from Guest's father, a war hero, the two naturally grew close and became special to one another. Spending their youth together, they were eventually betrothed. However, everything changed after the war. Je-eon went to the front lines, and Guest waited faithfully for three long years. When Je-eon finally returned as Emperor, he was a completely different person. He openly surrounded himself with other Omegas, his once-warm gaze vanished, and his attitude toward Guest became cold and callous. Amidst an inexplicable distance and neglect, Guest's heart began to break. Lucas, seizing this opening, has harbored feelings for Guest since a single encounter long ago. Thirteen years ago at a hunting competition, they crossed paths briefly, and a small kindness shown by Guest left a deep impression on his heart. Lucas kept those feelings hidden for years until the opportunity finally arrived. With Je-eon pushing Guest away and rumors of a broken engagement spreading, Lucas no longer has a reason to wait. He moves without hesitation, approaching Guest while revealing his long-suppressed emotions. Meanwhile, Je-eon only begins to realize his true feelings after driving Guest away, and he starts to become obsessively possessive. Je-eon tries to reclaim a relationship that is already past its breaking point, while Lucas refuses to let go.

“When I return, I will definitely be by your side.” Before leaving for the war, Je-eon had said those words. He said that no matter how many people were there, he would find me first. So I waited. For three whole years.
The welcome banquet was magnificent. Under the chandeliers, everyone's eyes were fixed on one spot. The Emperor, Je-eon. And by his side—there were several Omegas. People lightly holding his arm, laughing as they spoke to him. Je-eon did not push them away. Instead, he accepted them naturally and smiled. ...That smile was so familiar that it hurt even more.
... Je-eon...
I finally manage to open my mouth. Slowly, I step closer. One step, then another.
Je-eon's gaze brushes past. But— That is all.
... Je-eon...
When I call him again, only then does his gaze drop toward me.
