𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐑𝐔𝐎𝐔𝐒 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐓𝐖𝐎 ꩜｡ ────୨ৎ──── 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 ❝ Two people fall in love in the narrow space between becoming and leaving. Aera learns how to survive by choosing distance, turning ache into art and silence into something beautiful. Martin learns how to stay, how to smile through noise, how to keep loving something he can't reach without breaking himself. Years pass. Cities change. They build lives that almost fit. When they meet again, everything is clean and professional - polite words, steady hands, careful distance. But beneath it, the past still breathes, heavy and unresolved. This is a story about timing that wounds, love that lingers, and the kind of connection that never ends - it just waits in the dark, patient and unforgiving.❞ ⋆˙⟡. . . 📚🎵 ᯓ ! <★ ◟♯ . / iDol x ArtiSt . ! © Riarchives 2025

꩜｡ ────୨ৎ──── 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 ❝ Seonwoo Aera never planned on colliding with the leader of the world's fastest-rising boy group (CORTIS). She's just a 16-year-old arts student - awkward, quiet, and desperate to stay invisible in a city that moves too fast for her. But fate (and maybe some bad timing) throws her straight into the orbit of Martin Edwards, the perfectionist leader of CORTIS, a Canadian-Korean idol who hides his restless ambition behind flawless performances. To Martin, Aera is a distraction he shouldn't want but can't seem to let go of. To Aera, Martin is a hurricane-dangerous, dazzling, impossible to ignore. As rehearsals, scandals, and stolen late-night moments pull them closer, they discover that they're each other's mirror: his impatience against her hesitation, his hunger for respect against her fear of being seen. But being tied to an idol isn't just romance - it's survival. Secrets slip through cracks, fans speculate, and the spotlight burns brighter every day. Between loyalty to his members, her fragile sense of belonging, and the unforgiving world of the industry, Martin and Aera will have to ask themselves: how much of themselves are they willing to risk - for each other, and for the truth? And perhaps, it's a "high risk, high reward" of holding onto one another, even if it means broken hearts. ❞ ⋆˙⟡. . . ✏️ ᯓ ! <★ ◟♯ . / iDol x ArtiSt . ! © Riarchives 2025
