Live in 10 seconds. Namjoon has done this a thousand times-heart pounding, breath steadying, the countdown echoing louder than the cheers outside. 3... 2... 1... The lights hit. He opens his eyes. And just like that-he's no longer Namjoon. He's RM: the leader, the poet, the flawless idol with the million-dollar gaze. He delivers every verse with precision, every move with grace. And the crowd goes wild. He smiles like it's everything. But lately... it isn't. Performing used to make him feel alive. Now, it's just how he survives. Until she arrives. She's not even supposed to be part of this world. But with her quiet laughter and unshakable spirit, she starts breaking through the walls he built long ago. And suddenly, Namjoon starts wondering- what if living begins when the music stops? A show that was never meant to change anything. A girl who sees beyond the glitter. A love story between the world's biggest Kpop idol... and the one person who makes him want to be just a man again. *** Book 1 of the True Love series ***
