"Stop pushing that riff!" Rosé finally snapped, slamming her hands down on the music stand. "It doesn't fit the composition! It sounds like a sudden panic attack, not subtle longing!"
Taehyung tossed his mic down. "Because subtle longing is a lie! This song is a disaster waiting to happen, a secret relationship, a desperate mistake-it should sound like a panic attack! You're terrified of letting go because you think it will dilute your 'art.' You confuse meticulousness with genius."
"And you mistake laziness for artistry!" she shot back, stepping around the console until she was only a foot away from him. Her face, usually so composed, was flushed with fury.
"You rely on your charm because you're scared to put in the hours of work required to be truly reliable! You're reckless, Taehyung-ssi, and this project is too big for your carelessness!"
The accusation of "laziness" was his absolute breaking point. His eyes darkened, and he took a slow, deliberate step that closed the last inch of distance between them. They were breathing the same air.
In the cutthroat world of K-Pop, can two rivals survive being chained together, or will their public lie lead to a private, devastating confession?
