You never planned to work in the K-pop industry-especially not as the manager of CORTIS, a rising boy group known for flawless performances and dangerous popularity. Thrown into a world of strict contracts, obsessive fans, hidden rivalries, and sleepless nights, you quickly realise that managing idols isn't just about schedules and stage lights-it's about protecting secrets. As their manager, you become their shield, their strategist, and sometimes the only person standing between them and collapse. But the closer you grow to them, the more blurred the line becomes between professionalism and emotional attachment. With fame climbing, scandals lurking, and the industry ready to break anyone who slips, one question remains: Can you keep CORTIS at the top without losing yourself-or them-in the process?

In a world sharpened by tension and stitched together by loyalty, you never meant to become the axis everything turned on. Quietly observant and fiercely devoted, you slip into Cortis as its unofficial sixth member - the missing piece no one realized they were waiting for. Between late-night rehearsals, shared glances, and hands brushing just a second too long, you find yourself pulled between Keonho's steady warmth and Seonghyeon's dangerous intensity. What begins as harmless comfort curls into something reckless. Something undeniable. Every laugh feels heavier. Every silence louder. And every choice... Impossible. Standing at the edge of confession, with hearts on the line and everything to lose, you must finally decide whether love is worth breaking the balance - or becoming it.
