A single flash. A thousand headlines. One unexpected love story.
When a split-second photo turns rising soloist Faith Monroe and idol leader Kang Minseok into a "professional couple," they sign a contract to protect their careers. What begins as stage-managed dates and PR smiles becomes late‑night ramen talks, a real confession, and a love too fragile for the spotlight. Then come the storms: a scripted engagement, a cold wedding, twins born early, postpartum shadows, and a public divorce that should have ended everything.
Years later-older, softer, and braver-they find their way back. Not to the fairy tale, but to something truer: boundaries, therapy, family dinners at 6:30, and a second chance they choose out loud.
Set against 2009-2020 K‑pop, this slow-burn romance tracks the era's real tech and media-from flip phones, me2day, and DC Inside to V Live, Reels, and Beyond LIVE-while exploring fame, racism/colorism, and healing. Faith (a biracial Black/Korean artist) and Minseok (an exhausted, loyal leader) learn the difference between optics and honesty... and how to build a home in a world that profits from breaking them.
Tropes: fake dating → real, enemies-to-allies, forced proximity, slow burn, divorce and remarriage, co‑parenting, found family, second chance
Content notes: racism/colorism, postpartum depression, NICU/prematurity, media harassment (handled with care)
Updates: weekly
For readers who love K‑drama heart, industry realism, and romances that fight for the happy ending-and earn it.
