"To be fulfilled by what's given to you. Is this a selfish kind of love?"
When he was 14 years old, Kosuke lost his mother, and he spent his adolescence in the countryside, concealing his identity as a gay male. Now he works in Tokyo as an editor of a fashion magazine, living his life freely. Then he meets Ryuta, a personal trainer working while supporting his mother, who raised him on her own. Kosuke, who puts on a front to get by and uses expensive brand clothes like an armour to protect himself, reaches a helping hand out to the admirable Ryuta, who is oblivious to his own beauty. Hesitantly, Ryuta accepts it. After meeting Ryuta, Kosuke slowly removes his armour as he begins to learn what it means to truly and deeply love someone. But then one day, suddenly, this is all broken apart.

It’s been a long time since I posted anything. So this is the IG live Woohyeon had just now. There is currently a pop up photo exhibition in Seoul showcasing some photos of his throughout the whole fan meeting campaign.
I don't think the Queen's backup plan was August, essentially. It was using Wilhelm's rage against August to actually give him an understanding of the leverage he has in his life(in Kristina's mind). You could tell she wasn't ready to see August as the heir of the throne at all, and I don't think he was actually gonna be one, anyways. It was just to keep August under a false sense of power(which controls him) so that he doesn't mess up things for the Crown anymore and simultaneously the one who's actually supposed to be the leader (Wilhelm) takes the lead, even just out of spite. I know on the surface it sounds like a manipulation tactic (which it kinda is) but deep down it was a very clever move by the Queen. She really killed two (clay) birds in the same shot, didn't she?
