AN: I made this moodboard first, because the original story has Myeon meeting everyone in a certain order and so the planned extra chapter with these drabbles goes the other way around?? And I’ve had it in my drafts since forever hahah (*ノωノ) but I’m finally posting it! ♡ I hope you like it and that you like the drabble that comes with it~

id rather be crazy like you 𓂃۶ৎ
Jongin was raised by shadows, by sea glass smiles and the kind of silence that listens more than it speaks. Morgana never wanted a child. She wanted an heir—one she could sculpt into perfection, one who would be everything her older sister Ursula wasn’t. Ursula roared. Morgana planned. Where one shattered the surface, the other sank beneath it, poisoning from below.
And so Jongin was born not from love, but from legacy. Polished. Poised. Powerful.
He grew up with his cousin Donghyuck—Ursula’s son, his opposite in all the ways that mattered. Donghyuck burned fast, laughed loud, lived brighter than most could bear. Jongin was his shadow. His echo. His undertow. Together, they danced the delicate line between rivalry and brotherhood—balancing, breaking, rebuilding. They were each other's first mirror, and perhaps their first heartbreak, too. They understood each other in ways no one else could… even when it hurt.
But Jongin learned early that love wasn’t warmth—it was currency. Charm was a shield. And secrets? Secrets were a weapon sharper than any trident.
He never needed the spotlight; he commanded it by absence alone. There’s something about him that lingers—like perfume in a room you can’t quite place, like a dream you wake from unsettled. His presence coils around others, subtle and intoxicating, and no one can ever decide if they feel safe… or if they’re being studied.
Because Jongin listens. He remembers. He files away every slip of the tongue, every unguarded sigh, every moment you thought he wasn’t watching. He stores them like pearls in a velvet box—quiet, dangerous, waiting.
He’s not one of the worst. That’s the thing. He’s not cruel in the obvious ways. He’s polite. Gracious. Soft-spoken.
That’s what makes him terrifying.
The softness might be real. Or maybe it’s the most convincing illusion of all. Jongin wears masks like silk gloves—seamless, elegant, deadly. Gentle confidante. Dutiful heir. Curious student. Lethal liar. He was taught that beauty distracts, that grace disarms, and that the best weapon is the one they never see coming.
He doesn’t scream to be heard. He doesn't need to fight for power. He waits. He plays the long game. And when the game ends, he’s already taken the throne without ever stepping into the spotlight.
And the most haunting thing?
He’ll smile while you thank him for it.
