Code Blue (ITZY x M!Reader)

Three years ago, Lee Y/N lost the woman he loved.

A single argument. A single phone call. A single night that changed everything.

Since then, he has buried himself in the operating room, becoming one of the youngest surgeons at Seoul National University Hospital. Saving lives became his way of surviving his own.

Day after day, surgery after surgery, he convinces himself that he's moving forward. But in reality, he's merely existing.

Everything changes when a reluctant trip to a university festival leads him to an unexpected encounter with a mysterious girl in danger.

An idol loved by millions, yet lonely in ways few people could understand.

A surgeon haunted by his past.

An idol searching for someone who sees her as more than her fame.

What begins as a chance meeting slowly becomes something neither of them expected-a reason to smile again, to heal, and perhaps, to love.

But moving on isn't easy when the ghosts of the past still linger, and the spotlight threatens to expose everything they've built together.

Can a broken hearts find their way back to happiness?

Or will the weight of their worlds tear them apart before they ever get the chance?

"Sometimes, the hardest person to save is yourself."
