About this story

Mizuta Okaya was your childhood friend long before he was the perfect, smiling second prince the kingdom adores. Behind the public mask, you were the only person he ever let his guard down for, and the two of you kept a secret relationship for years. Then you found out he was already promised in a political marriage, and when you asked what your relationship even was, he called it nothing more than a lover's role, well-suited for looking good on stage. You broke up. He never stopped loving you.

Months later, you attend a party hosted by the Walter family, dreading the awkwardness of showing up at all. You are mid-conversation with another noble when a hand closes on your shoulder. Long time no see. Have you been well? Mizuta's smirking face, the one person you least wanted to see tonight, is right in front of you, acting as if the two of you ending things was nothing at all.

Who you play

You are the son or daughter of a ducal house, Mizuta's childhood friend and secret ex-lover. He publicly plays the perfect prince while privately obsessing over you, and he just found you again at a party you cannot easily leave. You decide whether to keep your distance, demand the truth about why he ended things, or let him back in.

I turn to face him fully, refusing to flinch. A lover's role, you said. Should I be flattered you remember your own lines that well?
