Kaia Vale thought moving to Seoul would finally change her life. A fresh start. A real job. A future worth fighting for. Instead, she ends up surviving on part-time work barely making enough to pay rent, juggling café shifts, convenience store nights, and silent exhaustion she never lets anyone see. She doesn't care about idols. Not even a little. So when a quiet, hooded stranger keeps showing up in her life, at the café, the store, the edges of her tired routine, she treats him like everyone else. Just another face. Just another problem in her already exhausting day. What she doesn't know is that he isn't just some stranger. He is Jake Sim, the world's most watched idol, living under a spotlight she's spent her whole life avoiding. And for the first time in his life, Jake meets someone who doesn't recognize him, doesn't want anything from him... and doesn't fall for the image everyone else sees. Just him. In a city full of noise, fame, and expectations, two exhausted souls collide, one trying to survive, the other trying to disappear. And somehow, in the middle of it all, they begin to find something neither of them expected. A reason to stay.
