Sea of Flames
Description
Once upon a time there was a greedy prince. He had everything anyone would want — a kingdom, a family, a group of friends — but he still wanted more.
And so he got what he wanted, but at the expense of everything else.
Byun Baekhyun spends his days breathing but not living, looking but not seeing.
And then Seo Haewon teaches him that perhaps a lifetime spent with the person he loves is better than spending eternity alone.
Foreword
Entry for vanillasushi’s Blossom Roads one shot contest.

...and a couple notes before reading:
>The whole Sea of Flames (which is referring to a gem's name) idea comes from Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See but the Sea of Flames legend/backstory is literally all there is (basically I took the name off it?). The plot is 100% different from that book.
>There's an author note and explantion chapter after the actual one shot
>To be honest I don't know why I tagged it fantasy, but I guess the whole curse thing is sort of like that?
>Word count: somewhere around 11k.
Comments are appreciated! I reply to all of them.
