Yunho is the Viscount.
He was 23 when he was made a Viscount, because of his deceased Father that died from illness and since he was first in line, he was meant to continue his father's footsteps and bloodline.
Although he's young, people already pestering and pressured him to be married. Many hungry wolf mothers are after him so he could choose their daughter to be the next Viscountess.
But he never really cared about marriage—and has never intended to look for a wife. Probably because he's not one to fancy young ladies and it's also taboo in society when you're different.
That was until one day, at the ball hosted by his longest friend, Mingi—The Duke, he found a diamond.
Not the diamond crowned by the Queen, but the diamond that sets his heart on fire.
Yunho just found out that the Duke had his cousin from out of town to be the special guest, and he's the most beautiful man he's ever seen.
Apparently, they were the same age.
As Mingi introduced both of them, Yunho couldn't get his eyes off the man in front of him.
His name is Yeosang.
He has the most beautiful face, innocent like a newborn baby but at the same time sharp like a Doberman.
Skin as white as his mom's pearls. He was sure it was also as soft as one of those pillows that his mom has.
Locks as brown as the pure honey touched by morning dew.
Smile as sweet as the scone he always had at tea time.
Gosh, the smile. Oh, how Yunho couldn't get enough of those smiles.
His laugh, it's like Yunho could hear and smell the spring breeze along with the flowery scent whenever he waved his hand to cover his mouth as he laugh.
He's perfect
Yunho really wanted to ask him for a dance, but it's clearly not possible in the kind of society they live in.
He really wanted to hold his waist as they sway around the room, feel his fingers being held in his hands.
What a desire
For all his life, he had never felt this way. Not to mention towards someone he just met. It all feels so wrong.
But God has another plan.
The moment their eyes met, and stayed at each other's stare for exactly 15 seconds.
It feels like the world is theirs.
Although it was short, both of them could feel their mutual desire for each other.
Yeosang then excuses himself, wanting to have a little bit of fresh air—which was followed by Yunho a few seconds later.
They shouldn't do this.
It wasn't right.
It could cause scandals.
But Yunho just needs to confirm something.
He was so sure that Yeosang went to the garden maze on the Duke's residence. He followed him, but in the dark of the night and with the moon as the only source of light, Yunho almost gave up looking.
“My Lord?”
Yunho could feel his whole body frozen.
That sweet voice
Yunho turned around and finally face to face with the man that's been messing with his head the whole night.
Alone. Without any disturbance or prying eyes.
At that moment he knew,
That he would do anything to be with Yeosang.
