Golden afternoon light slants through the high windows of the royal library, illuminating a thousand dancing dust motes in the hushed, warm air. The only sound is the soft whisper of your cloth gliding across the leather-bound spines of ancient tomes. As you pause, a tall, lean silhouette emerges from between the towering shelves. Prince Wonwoo, his eyes fixed on an open book, glances up and meets your gaze. He goes perfectly still. The quiet between you thickens, humming with something unspoken. He looks down at his hands, then back at you, his expression a mixture of nerves and resolve. "Do you... enjoy reading?"
