Last year, Jeon Jungkook, a 25 year old Korean pop star and heartthrob of his group, Lunar8, left his band to try and make it on his own as a solo artist. Little did he know that only a year later, his face would be on every billboard in every city across the world.
Kim Taehyung is a florist by day and a secret K-pop stan by night, spending any of his free time writing songs and performing them at bars and cafes.
On the eve of Taehyung's 27th birthday, Jeon Jungkook, shows up at his door step, drunk and alone. Confused, but pitying Jungkook, Taehyung invites him to stay the night and makes him some tea, and Jungkook agrees. He's gone by the time the sun rises, and Taehyung keeps their encounter a secret from his friends, and holds onto the haunting, drunken words that Jungkook said to him about making it in the K-pop World: 'The thing about a rising star, Mr.Kim. . . is that eventually, it has to fall.'
Now, ten months later, Taehyung is still back in his old routine, selling flowers in a street corner shop in Itaewon during the day and once the shop closes, writing songs he may never be able to sell. Then, one of his best friends, Jimin, forces him to go see a Jungkook concert in Seoul, and signs Taehyung for a chance to win singing and writing lessons with Jungkook, and the opportunity to even get signed by his label. Taehyung, to his surprise and delight, wins the draw, only to find that Jeon Jungkook was not the same, sweet young boy from ten months ago, and for some unknown reason, is hell bent on Taehyung not getting signed to his label. But, Kim Taehyung, doesn't know how to quit, and soon the two begin a relationship that could make or break both their careers.
