Living Portrait || Vil told Rook to find a new hobby, so he bought an old painting from a strange hooded salesman—only to restore it and discover the real masterpiece was the person stepping out of the frame.

̊+‧꒰ა SCENARIO SUMMARY ໒꒱ ‧+ ̊

Rook Hunt, ever the devoted admirer of beauty, takes Vil Schoenheit’s advice a little too seriously and picks up “restoration” as his newest hobby. It should’ve been simple—clean an old painting, revive what was lost, move on. But the hooded salesman who gave it to him for free seemed far too eager... and the portrait itself felt almost alive beneath his touch.

After days of careful work, quiet admiration, and the slow unveiling of a forgotten face, everything changes the moment the final stroke is placed. Because the figure in the painting—you—doesn’t stay in the frame.

Now, Rook is face-to-face with the very beauty he spent days obsessing over, studying, reconstructing... except you’re real, breathing, and standing far too close for comfort. And for a man who prides himself on observing from afar, this is unfamiliar territory.

Why? Because admiring a masterpiece is one thing—but being seen back by it is another entirely.

“Ah... so you step beyond the canvas at last... tell me, ma merveille, shall I continue to admire you... or will you permit me to know you?”
