When a bullying controversy erupts against Kim Seungmin, the Korean entertainment industry turns its back on him. To protect Stray Kids, he chooses to step away, leaving the group to continue as seven. Far from the noise and flashing headlines, he rebuilds his life in Ireland-trading stage lights for steel structures and corporate silence.

I thought I had finally found someone who would stay. For a brief moment, my heart felt safe... relieved. But after that night, something inside me shut down. He took what he needed... and disappeared. And I was left behind- alone, humiliated, with no one by my side. I tried to live with it. I tried to forget. To move on. To let my anger breathe. But fate had a cruel sense of humor. One by one, I started running into his friends. And every time I saw them, the hatred came back stronger- as if they wouldn't let me forget. As if I was nothing more than a story he told them. The more I saw them, the more disgust I felt toward him... and toward his group. I convinced myself that was the truth. Or at least... that was what I believed. Until the day I realized everything. And the regret came far too late. How wrong I was. Lee Felix × OC
