🔥 Characters:
Prince Seonghwa – Regal, composed, known for his swordsmanship and loyalty to the crown. Hides the glowing mark on his wrist—the one he’s had since birth. No one knows it’s ever reacted.
Hongjoong – A sharp-witted commoner forced into palace life after impressing the King’s Council. He’s fiery, untamed, and has secrets of his own. When he’s near Seonghwa, his skin glows too—but he plays it off, afraid of what it might mean.
💔 Setting:
A kingdom where soulmates are real—but royals are forbidden to have one. It’s said that when two soulmates touch, their marks burn gold and their hearts synchronize. To claim a soulmate as a royal is seen as betrayal to the bloodline.
💎 Bonus:
Seonghwa teaches Hongjoong how to wield a dagger in secret (hands over hips, controlling his movements—tension).
Hongjoong provokes Seonghwa constantly, challenging his royal status while hiding how much he craves his touch.
