After losing her mother, Nicole is uprooted from everything she's known and sent to live with the father she barely remembers... in Korea. She never expected to find herself in a new family, with a stepmother who keeps her distance and a stepbrother she never knew existed - Bang Chan.
Navigating a new school is tough enough, but things get even more complicated when she meets Chan's friend group: the sweet and shy I.N., the flirtatious Felix, and the protective Changbin. But with them come rivals - the charming yet unpredictable Han, her childhood best friend Seungmin who's changed more than she realized, the enigmatic Lee Know, and the distant yet magnetic Hyunjin.
Caught between old memories and new emotions, she finds herself tangled in friendships that blur into something more, rivalries that run deeper than they seem, and secrets that threaten to unravel everything.
With her heart pulled in every direction, she must navigate first loves, hidden feelings, and the bonds that could either save her or break her.
In a world where loyalty is tested and hearts are bound to collide, can she find where she truly belongs?

Steps to Reconnect - Felix x skz
Felix thought he had left his past behind after a heartbreaking betrayal from the people he once called family. But when life pulls him back into their orbit, old wounds resurface, and memories he worked so hard to bury begin to reawaken. With a fragile heart, a lingering injury, and a yearning for genuine connection, Felix tries to navigate a dance camp alongside Minho-his protective half-brother-and Wooyoung, his newfound source of comfort. However, the unexpected presence of his childhood friends stirs unresolved emotions: jealousy, guilt, and a faint hope for reconciliation. As Felix confronts the weight of his history with Bangchan, Hyunjin, Han, Seungmin, Jeongin, and Changbin, he finds himself at a crossroads. Can the bonds they once shared be repaired, or has the damage been done for good? And will Felix allow himself to trust again, both in others and in himself? In a story filled with heartfelt moments, lingering pain, and the power of dance, Steps to Reconnect explores the challenges of forgiveness, the strength of chosen family, and the delicate art of rebuilding broken ties.
