    Summary

    The thing was, neither of them wanted this.
    But they both needed it — or at least that’s what they told themselves.

    Johnny Suh had wrecked his image after a bar fight with a fan in California, just hours after a devastating loss that nearly cost his team the season.

    Ten Lee had finally escaped a toxic relationship, quietly vanishing from the spotlight months before his long-awaited return to music.

    The narrative their managers pitched was simple:
    The wild, reckless quarterback “tamed” by the soft-spoken, fragile pop star.
    Crisis meets comeback.
    Redemption meets romance.
    It made headlines. It made sense.

    They only had to put on the act for a few months.
    Smile. Be seen. Pretend.

    Then they could go their separate ways — clean, quiet, done.

    Simple.

    Until it wasn’t.
    Not when they'd already shared a story before the fame.
    Not when that story never really ended.
