I was trying to protect you. But it's too late now.

When Kaia Lee, leader of the rookie girl group SIREN5, crosses paths with Jungwon from ENHYPEN, sparks fly-not just from their performances, but from the unexpected connection that forms between them. With talent, teamwork, and a shared ambition, they navigate the highs and lows of the K-pop world, discovering that sometimes the strongest bonds are built off-stage.

Jiyoo has graduated from college and is now returning to her hometown. She hasn't been home since last summer, when everything happened. Sooner or later she will meet Jungwon, the man who went from being her best friend, love of her life, and safe haven to disappearing from her life completely. Will they be able to stay in the same room? Will feelings come to the surface? And will they be able to overcome the obstacles that exist so that they can at least find their way back to the friendship they once had? Jiyoo has been struggling with her feelings for Jungwon for a long time and she feels done. But what happens when they meet again after several months apart? And what happens when Yeonjun enters her life?

Jungwon and I have been inseparable since childhood, a friendship that's survived every test-until now. In college and sharing an apartment, we're closer than ever, but a winter break trip to a resort with friends leads to a night neither of us saw coming. During a game of truth or dare, a kiss between us is a start of a slippery slope that ends in Jungwon's bed. Freaked out and desperate not to ruin our friendship, we made a pact: forget it happened and never speak of it again. Except now that it has happened, the pact is getting harder and harder to keep.
