When they were kids, Mazie and Chris were like two peas in a pod. Both from Korean families living in Sydney, and neighbors on top of that, it couldn't get much better.
Until Chan moved to Korea to become a trainee at JYP Entertainment-and, in the process, all but left Mazie behind.
Now, years later, Mazie has made her solo debut under JYP and is determined to move on with her life. She's got a career, a future, and absolutely no need for the childhood best friend who disappeared on her.
Or so she thinks.
When Mazie is scheduled to join Stray Kids as the opening act for their world tour, there's a big, fat Chan-shaped wrench thrown straight into her carefully rebuilt life.
Chan left his home behind when he became a trainee. But home would always wait for him.
His best friend? Not so much.
Now she's back in his orbit, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to keep his eyes off her.
They were once beside the sea.
Now they're on the stage.
Can Mazie and Chan find success, rekindle what they once had, and maybe discover that some things-and some people-are worth coming home to?
