Summary
Moving to Seoul wasn’t just about chasing a dream.
It was about survival— a desperate attempt to feel alive again, outrunning the version of herself that was drowning under the weight of life. A city loud enough to drown out the noise in her mind.
Instead, it becomes unpredictable and chaotic.
Between learning the language, struggling through half-understood conversations, draining workdays in the K-pop industry, and trying to adjust to the overwhelming newness of it all, she starts to wonder if this was truly everything she had hoped it would be.
Then she meets him.
An idol whose reputation precedes him. Always professional— kind, gentle, humble in the eyes of many. The renowned “Best Leader” everyone sees, but no one truly knows.
A chaotic coincidence turns into repeated encounters, always at the exact wrong moment. With every chance meeting, their friendship slowly becomes the safest thing either of them has.
But closeness comes with consequences, and reality has a way of catching up to people already barely holding on.
Sometimes falling in love doesn’t save you— it just gives you another reason to stay alive long enough to try again.
