Runaway Lights

Three years ago, Jaeyun lost the one person who made the world make sense-his fiancée, Iseul.

The maknae of the world's biggest K-Pop group, adored by millions, with sold-out concerts and glittering stages... yet none of it could shield him from the quiet collapse that followed her death.

He didn't grieve.
He couldn't.
Instead, he performed, smiled, trained, filmed-pretending everything was fine while his heart stayed frozen in that moment she slipped through his fingers.

But now, after the final encore of his first solo tour, Jaeyun does something he's never done before.
He leaves.
No cameras, no manager, no schedule. Just a quiet flight to Jeju-and a desperate attempt to breathe again.

What he doesn't expect is the girl who walks into his world with no knowledge of his fame, no interest in his stage persona, and no intention of saving him. She's got scars of her own. She's not here to fix Jaeyun-but something about her presence unsettles the grief he's wrapped around himself like armor.

In this island retreat where time seems to slow down, Jaeyun is forced to confront the pain he's long avoided, the guilt he's tried to outrun, and the possibility that-despite it all-his story isn't over.

Grief. Love. Healing. And a boy who's learning how to live again.

RUNAWAY LIGHTS is the third installment in a soul-wrenching romance series that explores the thin line between remembering and moving on, and whether the heart can ever truly love again after loss.
