Inspired by True Events. They say the K-pop industry builds you up just to break you down...They didn't tell Heeseung the breaking part would happen in slow motion. Isolated. Exiled. Erased. As the ACE of ENHYPEN, Heeseung gave everything to the group. In return, the company gave him a "solo career" that looks suspiciously like a punishment to the fans. Then there's Nari. She's a temp stylist with a quiet job at an art gallery and a zero-tolerance policy for nonsense. She doesn't know about the fan wars, the NDAs, or the history between Heeseung and his old manager. She only sees a man who is drowning in an empty room. When a staged kiss to save face turns into a fake-dating, the lines between reality and pretense blur. Heeseung is looking for a way to forget his past. Nari is just looking to do her job. But in a world built on illusions, the most dangerous thing to have is a real connection. Before this is over, he will have to decide if he is willing to fight for his place in the group, or if he will let himself be Erased?

Forever. Thrown into a twisted system where every friendship is a gamble and every choice could be fatal, Danyi must survive elite lies, dangerous alliances, and a brutal hierarchy designed to break her. But the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: this isn't just a game-it's a trap. To escape with her life-and her sanity-Danyi must outsmart the very players who created the rules. Will she dismantle the game... or become its next casualty?
