Hong Ji An attends a concert she never planned to enjoy.
Being transferred to another division without warning feels like a lightning strike. But work is work, and life goes on. Armed with a notebook and zero expectations, Jian arrives at Vantage's concert venue to do her job.
She knows nothing about the group.
Nothing about their fandom.
And even less about why people would cross borders just to stand in front of a stage for three hours.
Until the lights shut down.
What begins as observation slowly turns into curiosity, then admiration - not only for the performance, but for the devotion between idols and fans, and the quiet power of music done honestly.
And for Siwoo - a member of Vantage whose restraint speaks louder than words.
As Jian follows Vantage across cities and milestones, trying new things and stepping into unfamiliar spaces, the line between professionalism and personal feeling begins to blur. So does the distance between her and Siwoo - where glances linger too long, conversations remain unfinished, and timing becomes the most dangerous thing of all.
Because some feelings don't arrive loudly.
They wait.
They grow.
And they change everything.
