Book 4: Anchor POINT As a member of NCT Dream, Jeno is used to intense schedules, eyes on him at all times, and keeping emotions buried beneath professionalism. So when a new lyricist joins the production crew for their comeback, he thinks nothing of it-until she starts staying late, writing verses that sound like secrets, and flinching at shadows when she thinks no one's watching. Yujin Seo is no stranger to pressure. But the masked anxiety she keeps behind her notebook is getting harder to hide, especially when someone starts following her after rehearsals. When Jeno steps in to walk her home one night, their dynamic shifts. He was supposed to protect the team. Now he's protecting her. But love has never been part of the job. And neither of them were trained for what happens when late-night walks turn into something more. - nct idol au - lee jeno ff ⸻ Behind the Scenes Series ⸻ Book 1 : Backstage love | Mark Lee Book 2 : Mixed Signals | Lee Haechan Book 3 : Painted Rains | Huang Renjun Book 4 : Anchor Point | Lee Jeno Book 5 : Beautiful Subject | Na Jaemin Book 6 : Unsung Record | Zhong Chenle Book 7 : First Step | Park Jisung Book 8 : Silent Chords | Lee Taeyong Book 9 : After Midnight | Johnny Suh ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ ©All Rights Reserved.

Book 3: Painted RAINS Some love stories aren't meant to end. They're meant to change you. Renjun has built his life on discipline, silence, and control-an idol admired for his precision, yet quietly unraveling under the weight of burnout and unspoken grief. Rain Lee, a warm and intuitive illustrator known for turning raw emotion into sketch-based lyric animations, is hired to visualize his music. What begins as a professional collaboration slowly becomes something more intimate, more dangerous-an emotional connection neither of them names out loud. As Renjun struggles to stay afloat in an industry that demands perfection, Rain becomes the only person who truly sees him. But love formed in secrecy and silence cannot survive without courage. When career opportunities pull them in opposite directions and Renjun's health begins to fail, their relationship fractures-not through anger or betrayal, but through timing. Separated by distance, growth, and an unavoidable hiatus, they rebuild themselves apart. Years later, fate quietly places them in the same industry again-changed, steadier, and achingly aware of what they once were. - nct idol au - huang renjun ff ⸻ Behind the Scenes Series ⸻ Book 1 : Backstage love | Mark Lee Book 2 : Mixed Signals | Lee Haechan Book 3 : Painted Rains | Huang Renjun Book 4 : Anchor Point | Lee Jeno Book 5 : Beautiful Subject | Na Jaemin Book 6 : Unsung Record | Zhong Chenle Book 7 : First Step | Park Jisung Book 8 : Silent Chords | Lee Taeyong Book 9 : After Midnight | Johnny Suh ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ ©All Rights Reserved.

Book 2: Mixed SIGNALS When Soo-a Lim walks into the studio, she isn't looking to make friends-she's looking to make music. As the new vocal director tapped to refine NCT DREAM's comeback sound, her reputation precedes her: bold, brilliant, and brutally honest. Haechan isn't impressed. Known for his genius instincts and quick wit, he's not used to being challenged-especially not by someone who critiques his demos without blinking. From their very first session, sparks fly...and not the romantic kind. But the more they clash, the deeper the pull. Beneath Sora's fire is a quiet hurt she keeps well-hidden, and beneath Haechan's sarcasm is a softness reserved for those he truly lets in. Between late-night studio sessions, passive-aggressive notes, and accidental harmony, the line between rivalry and something more begins to blur. In a world ruled by timing, tone, and trust, can two artists stop talking past each other long enough to hear what their hearts have been trying to say? Or will mixed signals drown out their chance at something real? -nct idol au -lee haechan ff ⸻ Behind the Scenes Series ⸻ Book 1 : Backstage love | Mark Lee Book 2 : Mixed Signals | Lee Haechan Book 3 : Painted Rains | Huang Renjun Book 4 : Anchor Point | Lee Jeno Book 5 : Beautiful Subject | Na Jaemin Book 6 : Unsung Record | Zhong Chenle Book 7 : First Step | Park Jisung Book 8 : Silent Chords | Lee Taeyong Book 9 : After Midnight | Johnny Suh ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ ©All Rights Reserved.

Book 1: BACKSTAGE love Lexie Jung thought she had everything figured out: a celebrated architectural career in Manila, a carefully rebuilt identity, and a quiet distance from the past she once shared with Mark Lee-the boy who knew her before the world did. The boy who left without saying goodbye. But when a trip home to Vancouver reawakens her love for music, Lexie finds herself back in Seoul, backstage at an NCT 127 concert thanks to a chance connection-and face to face with the person she's spent years trying not to miss. Mark Lee has built his life in the spotlight, but nothing could prepare him for seeing Lexie again. She's different-older, guarded, sharper-but she still looks at him like she remembers every chord they once shared. Between rehearsals, closed studio doors, and buried memories, they'll have to decide: is the past just a melody they outgrew, or is there still a song left to finish together? Some love stories don't happen under the lights. They happen backstage. -nct idol au -mark lee ff ⸻ Behind the Scenes Series ⸻ Book 1 : Backstage love | Mark Lee Book 2 : Mixed Signals | Lee Haechan Book 3 : Painted Rains | Huang Renjun Book 4 : Anchor Point | Lee Jeno Book 5 : Beautiful Subject | Na Jaemin Book 6 : Unsung Record | Zhong Chenle Book 7 : First Step | Park Jisung Book 8 : Silent Chords | Lee Taeyong Book 9 : After Midnight | Johnny Suh ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ ©All Rights Reserved.
