Summary
The elevator doors were just about to close but Yeong slammed his hand in between and with a ding of a bell, they opened again.
“Thank you captain.” Mo smiled at him very briefly,“ Your Majesty. I was wondering if we’d finally have time to go over the details for tomorrow’s visits?”
“I’ll take my leave here, if that’s okay, sir?” Yeong asked. The king simply nodded and he stepped out of the elevator. In the infinitesimal pause before the doors closed in between him and The King, Yeong looked up at him, and The King’s dark brown eyes moved from Mo’s papers to Yeong’s face. Yeong’s heart gave an uncomfortable lurch, which made him blink and just like that The King was gone.
Or
Jo Yeong tries his best but can’t protect His Majesty from himself.

Summary
The constant sound of cheers and applauds that had been coming from behind the temple’s wall had shifted so seamlessly that it took a long time for Yeong to register that people were… singing? He heard the melody but wasn’t able to make sense of the lyrics. He almost turned to ask someone, anyone, what it was about because it wasn’t part of the ceremony, but then, at last, the gate was opened again and he found that removing his eyes from it was suddenly impossible. Yeong sat straighter, heart beating very conspicuously but feeling so much lighter than just seconds ago.
Or
Standing next to His Majesty means that the spotlight falls on Yeong as well.

Summary
Gon watched the fire burn. The Winter Ceremony had landed on a Wednesday that year, giving many people a much coveted five-day weekend. He felt no such relief about it but as long as Yeong stood behind him, within an arm’s reach, he would get through it again. And now that he thought about it, the flames were beautiful in the way they slithered around the dry wood and crackled loudly in all the colors of the brightest of sunsets. Another winter had begun.
He turned around and faced the staff. They clapped, as did the crowds of people gathered outside the palace, all having been waiting for the fire to be lit. Bonfires would be burning all across their peninsula that evening and night. Wearing the Consort’s Gwanbok, Yeong had been watching the fire too, the smoke rising above, but he lowered his eyes and met his. The golden details of the robe glimmered in the flickering light emanating from the bright flames. The boy from the harbor adorned in regal glory and wearing it like it had always been his. Gon smiled before he realized what he was doing.
Or
How Jungang Palace became Yeong's home, how two eventually became four, and how quickly years actually go by.
