Stardom, especially being an idol, is all about pretending.

Mina knew it all too well. Chaeyoung had lived it since she could remember.

Can they keep it up much longer?

---

This is a story heavily inspired by real life settings and events in Twice's lives and careers, starting at a recent low point for Chaeyoung. A tender slow burn with plenty of angst, and plenty of lust that keeps failing to find release. Will these two idols ultimately find each other after a decade of mutual pining, painful yearning and secrets kept?

This is a story about best friends who grew up with each other. They went to the same school since kindergarten and as time passed by their closeness became unbreakable. But it's not just their intimacy that developed but also their feelings for each other. It's the day after they graduated from college when Chaeyoung decided to confess her feelings for her best friend, Mina. She gathered all her courage and regardless of the result, rejected or not, she will confess her feelings toward her best friend. But unforeseen circumstances happened. Before Chaeyoung reached the house of Mina, she got into a car accident. She lost consciousness before seeing Mina, even worst, before confessing her feelings for her best friend. What will happen? Will she be able to survive and tell Mina how she feels or will it be a dream that will never come true? © PAOPAO 2023
