    Summary

    Kim Dokja’s phone buzzed — a message from an unknown account: About the Rachmaninoff review. He almost ignored it. He rarely entertained private messages.

    But something made him open it.

    I read your review of the Rachmaninoff concert three times. I’ve read everything you’ve written about my playing over the years, the criticism, the praise, the observations that made me hear my own performances differently. You wrote once that my Beethoven sounded like a monument to human achievement and a testament to nothing. I kept that sentence on my desk for months. It made me practice differently. It made me listen to myself differently.

    I don’t know who you are. I don’t need to know. But I wanted to tell you that your presence at the concert — knowing you were listening, knowing you would write with your honest cruelty changed how I played. The trill in the adagio. I held it because I knew you would hear whether I let go or not.

    Thank you for listening. Thank you for being honest. Thank you for hoping, even when I gave you no reason to.

    — Y.

    Summary

    “Kim Dokja-ssi,” a warm voice cut through the gathering. “You look radiant this evening. Thank you for joining us.”

    Dokja smiled gracefully, bowing slightly. “Thank you for the invitation. I admire Murim’s dedication to cross-cultural design; it takes immense creativity.”

    The CEO chuckled, “Ever the diplomat. Is this your new security?”

    Joonghyuk stepped forward, bowing silently. Dokja replied, “Yes, from Supreme Security System’s 3rd Division. Highly efficient. Silent as ghosts.” His gaze flicked to Joonghyuk, curiosity mingling with cautiousness, but Joonghyuk's expression was stoic.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja wasn’t surprised when he learned that he would be married off to another person, as he somewhat expected it from his father considering he is in trouble due to not being responsible when it came to his duties. But what came to his surprise, who he was exactly being married off to. To learn he’ll be getting married to the Archduke Yoo Joonghyuk, it made him somewhat afraid. Not only would he move to a cold and lonely region, but to be wed to someone known for being cold and unfriendly…

    Alas, he couldn’t do anything. Part of him was relieved, knowing he’d get away from this awful place that was supposed to be home, away from his abusive father, regardless if it’d leave him in a loveless marriage.

    What he didn’t expect was that he would not only develop feelings for the man and grow closer to him, but learn more things that were hidden about himself.
